Kudos for subjecting yourself to that bilge shower, Roy.
The most interesting takeaway for me was most observers were left with the impression Ramaswamy was one of the most obnoxious individuals they'd ever seen on a debate stage. So of course he won the post-debate poll among Republicans. Same planet, different worlds.
I will give Ramaswamy this much credit: it really takes some doing to come off as the weirdest guy on stage when you are sharing it with Ron DeSantis. Yet somehow Young Vivek managed just that.
Didn’t watch, too busy working on my “Mugshots of Treason” collectible trading cards. Gonna get The Don later today but the big one will be “Meadows in Cuffs” on or after Friday.
I turned off everything but the music, as is my custom, at 7: could not get interested in sitting through two hours of GOP, I won’t call it sparring,or debate, 'cause I’ve set through zoning meeting with more real information. Various AM clips left me noticing this:
The weakness of opposition to the orange excrescence, and the rise of promise of pardons was what stood out to me. This is a radical position, and if the Dems don’t stuff it back down their craw, they are missing a bet.
Ramaswamy is a hollow man, who’ll say anything, and stake out radical positions. He’s becoming a joke: which means he’ll stay in the running.
Haley tried to distinguish herself; and will remain a factor.
Surprised at how weak Christie was: Hutchinson predictably moral, and the plays badly: Scott playing to trans idiocy is just gross...and the rest trying to play to MAGA and stay safe, and scripted.
Kudos to Chris Hayes on the after show for saying Pence “upheld the Constitution” because he didn’t want to be another guy with a mugshot. Sanctimonious prig that he is, he was smart enough to know the coup would fail and he didn’t want to be one of the perps. Same with Raffensberger and the AZ guy. “Heroes” in the sense that they chose avoiding crimes, but inviting death threats while doing it.
Saying they still would support Trump now lays bare the practical rather than heroic nature of their acts.
I guess ol' Mike figured out that a rookie president is not such a hot idea after the last one tried to get him killed. Very quick off the mark, that one...
Sure, they've got the "Democrats support abortion up to the very millisecond of birth" rap down, but as with everything else, they're pikers when compared to the master.
>>During a CNN town hall in May, former President Donald Trump said Democrats want to “rip the baby out of the womb at the end of the ninth month.” In June, during a speech to a group of evangelical activists, Trump said falsely that Democrats are “willing to kill the child, after birth, really.”<<

I read both of them .They are exactly the same,!
I didn't watch. I have no interest in anything they have to say.
I do think there is a Swanee River/Ramaswamy mash up out there, just waiting to be revealed. At its best , it might be momentarily clever, though.

And I’m not finding Burgum clips.
You deserve a Purple Heart AND a Silver Star for your courage and psychic injury!
