The 2nd debate was no better than the 1st debate period! Given the fact that they had a chance to go after Trump because he once again skipped the debate and gave an alternative deranged speech in Michigan, yet those other 7 looked scared of their own shadow! Yelling over one another and blaming everything on the current administration, but forgetting why Trump is the front runner.
If I were to say who won the debate? I would have say the Americans people did! Trump wasnt there and those other will never make it as president!
Another shit show proves that the GOBers should never have the keys to the car, cuz it will be totally useless and unsafe for them to have control!
No, I understand that things arent the best, but because of Trumps debacle as the president? We are recovering as best as we can.
Those 7 candidates know they cant get thru the primaries, so they basically battling for VP. There is one problem? Trump will pick someone else? Plus, they can go after Trump all they want? Theyre still afraid of him!

(8,514 posts)The Republicans should have been pushing for someone else all along, but they're caught between a rock and a hard place because they allowed trump to form his cult. Now the MAGAt cult is their curse.

(13,481 posts)The mainstream media had an article every day for weeks about DeSantis. Then they cooled once his attacks on education and his persecution of trans kids became a bit too much. Now I expect them to get behind Nikki Haley. I havent checked the Washington Post yet, but Im sure well be seeing positive articles about Haley.

(8,514 posts)For the MAGAt cult, she's the wrong gender and has the wrong lineage, though they won't say it out loud.
I suspect that if trump doesn't make it to the general, a majority of the MAGAts either won't vote, or will write in his name. They're screwed.

(5,268 posts)I refer to the whole exercise as "The Phony Primary" because the RQC and Republicants' desires to have an actual primary are as phony as Inmate P01135809's company financial statements.
I think when it comes time for P01135809 to pick a VP candidate, he will nominate Don Jr. It will be the All P01135809 ticket.

He skillfully rebutted all their claims and arguments (the seven mental midgets on stage) and showed he could have easily taken on all seven at once, plus Orangey the Clown, and that Faux News person again.
Also, former GOP chairman Michael Steele. Rachel said and asked him that it seems like the Republicans just want the "lowest common denominator" now, and not a real politician. "Lowest" and "Common" being the key words. They are more interested in someone they "like" and that can bluster loudly, than actually do anything substantive. Hence the Orange Splat being so popular with them and they ignoring all his criminal charges.
They also played clips where each candidate tried to talk over each other. Imagine seven people trying to talk to you at the same time. You hear nothing but gibberish. Same idea.
Also where Ron DeSantis tried to intimidate Nikki Haley by walking over to her and invading her space, to get her to back down (like some men are want to do to women they don't like --- "Shut up honey, let the men talk" ).
Then there was the laughable comment from Tim Scott that "America Wasn't a Racist Country", to which Michael Steele loudly laughed in response and was incredulous that such a thing could be said. Talk about "whitewashing" America's history.
Nikki Haley saying she felt stupider every time Vivek talked.
They tried to blame the unions and autoworkers for the strikes, and saying "They want a 4-day work week, and more pay." To which Rachel and the other said most of the audience was like "Umm... yeah. What's wrong with that?"
There was the Chris Christie line about the Dumpster being soon called "Donald Duck" due to his being frightened to come on stage, and most of them took the Orange One to task for not showing up and 'ducking out' both times.
EDIT: They also showed the Chris Christie "sex thing" where he tried to blast Biden with "sleeping with a member of the teacher's union" (his wife Jill Biden). They laughed at that. They said his "Donald Duck" comment was more imaginative, and this, they just had a "Ohh yuck, when is it going to stop? Just stop talking now" moment.
