Limited blogger said...: Tonight's debate needs to thin the GOP herd to 2 maybe 3 non=Trump candidates.; 9/27/23, 7:56 PM
Limited blogger said...: A little different than first debate. Both Biden and Trump being called out.; 9/27/23, 8:18 PM
Limited blogger said...: Burgum is barging his way into the picture. Has a lot to say, but they intend to ignore him.; 9/27/23, 8:21 PM
Dave Begley said...: Chris Christie is a talented and smart guy. But I can’t stand him.

Ditto.; 9/27/23, 8:34 PM
rcocean said...: Christie isn't "talented" Or "Smart". He left the Governorship of NJ with an approval rating of 12. He vouched for Christopher Wray.

I turned it off. Mr. V can be inetersting. The others are dullards, only there to push the GOPe neo-con message or bash trump.

Will wait for the transcript.; 9/27/23, 8:38 PM
Limited blogger said...: Christy forces out a lame put down calling Donald Trump - Donald Duck for ducking the debates.

(it's actually funny when I write it, it wasn't funny when Chris said it); 9/27/23, 8:41 PM
Big Mike said...: Chris Christie is a talented and smart guy.

A smart guy would not have proposed Christopher Wray to President Trump for Director of the FBI.; 9/27/23, 8:41 PM
donald said...: One of my absolute best friends is a union thug democrat (Recently retired). We haven’t seen each other since the Sandy Springs Sweetheart of the Rodeo show in 2018. He was one snide democrat railing on Trump and Russia etc. and to be honest it affected our 50 year relationship. Anyways, I was in his neck of the woods yesterday, so I crashed at his house. Times have changed. He realizes the criminality of the Biden administration and has made the connection that this is all connected to both parties being for endless war. He realizes the illegal immigration, along with his beloved democrat party being the ones creating the crime wave we’re facing and that his many grandchildren are fucked. Bob’s voting for the Trumpster because he’s the only non corrupt ( Don’t know thatId go that far)politician we’ve had in our lifetime and he won’t send those kids to some shithole to die for American corruption. I was speechless, there are more of him. Sweet.; 9/27/23, 8:43 PM
wildswan said...: A new debate topic:
Should Colin Kaepernick try out as quarterback for a team in the Women's Football League? He's got the hair. And he's stayed in shape. Let's reward ambition.

I just think Trump has the nomination. And I don't think another Republican will win because the Republicans haven't bothered to fix the election process in the different states. And I think Biden will be carried off drooling before Election Day. Trump runs, Trump wins even if he has 43,000 indictments in every Dem jurisdiction in the country. We'll elect our own illegal, marginalized, othered guy with policies that we like. That's the sole issue as I see it.; 9/27/23, 9:16 PM
Limited blogger said...: Vivek talking and I hear Chris Christie bellowing in the background cause his mic is turned off. Hilarious.; 9/27/23, 9:16 PM
Dave Begley said...: Debate was unwatchable.

Too bad Ron and Vivek have no chance to get the nomination. But I’m still voting for Vivek.; 9/27/23, 9:20 PM
Narr said...: I can't watch those things, or the debates. Or 'debates.'

As to political climate, my D or D-ish family and friends aren't as cocky about the post-Trump world as they were a few years ago. I never brought up politics back then, and closed down pretty quick if they brought up the topic. Now they never mention it.; 9/27/23, 9:22 PM
robother said...: I can't believe Althouse isn't hanging on every word in this debate. Oh, shit, I just said "hanging." So hang me.; 9/27/23, 9:35 PM
Limited blogger said...: Doug Burgum continues to impress when they give him a couple of seconds to talk. Guy doesn't have a chance, but good to see a clear thinker like this on stage.; 9/27/23, 9:45 PM
Lem the artificially intelligent said...: Word is more whistleblowers are coming forward to testify what they know about Hunter Biden and family web of corruption.

Right now, Biden has as much chance of being the nominee as Trump has being the nominee.

Every day that goes by and we find out how deep the Biden’s corruption goes, confirms what we’ve already suspected. They have to prevent Trump from running at any cost to themselves, their party and the country.

Scott Adam says: “Well, Mutually Assured Destruction has been activated. Whichever side wins in 2024 will be jailing the losing side for sure.”; 9/27/23, 9:47 PM
Limited blogger said...: Nikki and Tim Scott having some weird turf battle over 10 cent gas tax in South Carolina.

That is a winning topic!; 9/27/23, 9:52 PM
tastid212 said...: Something funny going on with the microphones. And the Univision woman is an embarrassment.; 9/27/23, 9:58 PM
Limited blogger said...: Dana P. reveals the obvious.... the next president is not on the stage.

It was fun but start shutting this all down and get behind the Donald.; 9/27/23, 9:58 PM

Bob’s voting for the Trumpster

This is why
a) Trump will be imprisoned and/or suicided
b) elections will be mail ordered (ORDERED, by Executive Order)
c) elections will have turnouts WELL in excess of 100% (WELL in excess)
d) Biden will "win", in a "landslide"

It's not as if we don't live in a fascist dictatorship.. If YOU have a problem with That
a) *YOU* will be imprisoned and/or suicided; 9/27/23, 10:03 PM
Eva Marie said...: donald said his friend “won’t send those kids to some shithole to die for American corruption.” This is it.

WK said...: Do any European or South American or Asian new organizations use American moderators for their political debates? Don’t watch many foreign political debates so just wondering…..; 9/27/23, 10:40 PM
planetgeo said...: Headline in Fortune: Elon Musk says the shoplifting epidemic is giving him late-stage Roman Empire vibes: ‘America is going full Joker’

He's right. It is. And it's going to get worse, because half the country keeps voting for it and appears to be just fine with it.; 9/27/23, 10:53 PM
Rt41Rebel said...: @Limited blogger

I too caught that, and it took me awhile to figure out if it was deliberate or if she has been hanging around Gutfeld for too long. I’m sure that the new management at Fox doesn’t appreciate it much.; 9/27/23, 11:18 PM
Mutaman said...: Dave Begley said...

"Debate was unwatchable.

Too bad Ron and Vivek have no chance to get the nomination. But I’m still voting for Vivek.'

Vivek is on some serious kind of upper. (Dexedrine?) Plus he clearly has a loose wire. The fact that Dave has been pushing this guy is cause for concern.; 9/27/23, 11:34 PM
Kate said...: I was looking forward to the debate, but it was deadly dull. The only fresh voice was Burgum, and they wouldn't ask him a question. Turned it off after half an hour. The worst of the lot was Pence. He was so woodenly wrong about everything that I ended up staring at his left nostril, wondering why it looked like pinched clay.; 9/28/23, 2:44 AM
wendybar said...: THIS is why you HAVE to laugh at that activist Judge in NY that just made a fool of himself. Everybody knows the left will do ANYTHING to stop Trump. Retribution time.

wendybar said...: "Seriously?
6 hours ago
I'm old enough to remember leftists screaming, while he was president, that Trump deliberately undervalued his assets to avoid taxes. Now that that has fallen through, Trump is guilty of overvaluing his assets. Leftists love to play heads I win tails you lose." - commenter on https://instapundit.com/608067/#disqus_thread; 9/28/23, 5:16 AM
Humperdink said...: Mutaman said: "Vivek is on some serious kind of upper."

Every comment Mr. Mutaman utters brings a smile to my face. Mutaman, would be so kind as list the drugs our dementia riddled presidente is ingesting? Wut? Too many to list?; 9/28/23, 5:19 AM
wendybar said...: President Trump on FBI raiding Joe Biden:

"Can you imagine an unannounced raid on HIS many homes? He would've made Senator Menendez look like a baby. Just like a baby. Could you imagine?"; 9/28/23, 5:46 AM
iowan2 said...: Christie is deeper in the DC Swamp that all the other candidates put together.
As already mentioned, Christie picked Wray and defends him yet today.; 9/28/23, 6:17 AM
iowan2 said...: Dana P. reveals the obvious.... the next president is not on the stage.

It was fun but start shutting this all down and get behind the Donald

I would love to see all the candidates ALL get behind the corruption tied to all the Trump indictments.

He now as a Second civil ruling against him. Neither are serious. Pushed through by corrupt Judges. Yesteday's didn't bother with hearing the Defense argument.

ALL the Republicans need to unite behind fighting the election interference.

In that vein, Every Republican Candidate should answer in detail what they would do to defend themseleves against the DC cartel. Because if they would get the nomination, they will get exactly the same.; 9/28/23, 6:23 AM
Humperdink said...: Krispy Kreme Christie labelled Donald Trump "Donald Duck" for ducking the debates. Alas, there was only one candidate who waddled onto the debate stage last night.; 9/28/23, 6:51 AM

donald said...: Any Republican candidate who’s number one issue isn’t “I’m gonna fire everybody in the federal government first day, they can reapply, just like Bill Clinton did and then I’m raining a shitstorm down on all corrupt actors” does not deserve anybody’s consideration. Then close the border (Immigration) by executive order. If you think we need to be dumping trillions of dollars into foreign wars, you need body parts cut off. If you think Chris Wray is the good guy, you need to be dead.

I didn’t want Trump to run again because I thought he would be shut down again by the monsters inhabiting our government and Im old with no kids. Now I realize there is no other choice. We have to have this inner political war and we (The non evil people) have to win. None of those choads on that stage last night either understand that or care about that. I do and I’m ready.; 9/28/23, 9:35 AM

"THIS is why you HAVE to laugh at that activist Judge in NY that just made a fool of himself."

Justice Engoron reminds me of that other "activist" Judge, John Sirica. Even $ says he gets upheld by the App Div, First dept.; 9/29/23, 2:52 AM
