The Republican Debate thread

[futurecurrents]

How can you not be amused by these leftards like fred foreskin.

They literally want to shut down and boycott entire states when homosexuals might have to use a different pizza parlor for their wedding reception, but think it's hysterical when someone wants to shut down the gov't to stop it from funding an organization that cuts up babies and sells the pieces.

There are no words to describe these people.

You mean that HELPS fund a woman's health organization. Why do you hate women?

Fox serves a purpose, but they really hurt themselves last night with their core audience. The questions were what I might have expected from MSNBC. Clearly their intent was to prove to voters that they should ditch Trump, but they were so obviously biased that I think it backfired on them.

They had a chance to explore policy ideas with ten very credible peopel but instead opted to turn it into some sort of Jerry Springer mudwrestling spectacle. Like Rush was saying today, democrats would never get questions like those.

The biggest loser was clearly Megyn Kelly. She is maybe ok interviewing suckups but was way over her head going toe to toe with Trump.

You mean that the biggest winner was Kelly. Is what you meant to say.

Beltway, see my post above. I think Fox's intent was to host a barn-burner. Certainly not to destroy Trump's Candidacy. That would be inconsistent with, and against any red blooded Republican businessman's mantra: "Anything for a dollar, "next quarter's bottom line rocks." Fox is in the business of selling advertising. Please let's not forget that. Therefore they are entertainers. If we don't watch, they don't sell advertising. They succeeded marvelously at entertaining us all. Although the same information was there for the viewers had they been watching Wolf Blitzer moderate. Just a hell of a lot more entertaining. And although truth is the first casualty of politics [and war], I think the Foxy questioners were, amidst the mayhem, able to illicit a smidgen of truth. Kudos to the Foxy three.

You are forgetting that Fox News is Roger Ailes and he and his media outlet are ALL about the Republican brand. Last thing they want is someone who won't play by their rules.

But yes, they did a pretty good job, although it was hard to mess this one up.

Media are owned by their advertisers (fortune 500). Fortune 500 want a corporate candidate. Jeb. Rubio. Some other neocon fuckboy. Fox News coddles them. Look at the Ron Paul campaign indictment. The night of the first republican debate. Clearly timed by the justice department. No constitutionalist is to be allowed to take office in the us. Look at the times awarded to each candidate to speak. Reveals their bias and their questions. All bullshit

Why do you hate black people?

WTF are you babbling about now?

Look, it's simple niwit. They refuse to accept obvious and overwhelming science. Both biological and climatological. The right wingers are morons.

Oh, because she didn't toe the party line and actually called Trump out for being the low life that he is? I have a new respect for her.

Dear Futurecurrents...

How you doin' today?
Just wanted to drop by to let you know...

THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE HOW MUCH I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHETHER YOU LIKE / DISAGREE WITH / AGREE WITH WHAT I WRITE AROUND HERE.

So...Have a goodun'.

Trump understands that it's too late for the country to keep talking about "political correctness".
He doesn't care about the whiny bullshit.
He thinks that he can salvage what hasn't been completely destroyed by the GODLESS, PERVERTED, TWISTED, BABY KILLING/BABY BODY PARTS AUCTIONING DEMOCRATS.

Personally speaking, I think it's too late for the country, period.
In other words, in my opinion, I think we are already "over the edge".
But good luck to Trump if he can fix any of the mess in the (formerly) USA.

Only thing is, he can't salvage anything if he does not have any traction. Which he will not because he won't even be elected. He does not have "blacks", he lost Latinos (not sure yet on other minorities), and he's probably lost women (though Fox gave him the chance to save that, last night--and he blew it). All dems and most reps don't want him. He couldn't even win with a resurrection of old style electoral college shenanigans.
