4th GOP Debate

[George K]

Vivek defines competence as being able to name Ukrainian provinces.

Go the FUCK away, Vivek.

[Mik]

Ramalama ding dong is a complete dick. Get him off the stage. The other three are serious candidates. DeSantis is doing particularly well tonight.

[George K]

The shine (can I say that?) has come off of Vivek. He's not ready for prime time.

I was impressed with Christie so far.

DeSantis says "Build the wall."

[Mik]

DeSantis is rerunning the China claim on Haley. Old stuff.

Christie is coming off as the adult in the room tonight. Haley is fine but she’s the target tonight.

[George K]

Nice to see Christie come off as "not a thug"...despite Vivek's comment about bridges.

[Mik]

Nothing dingaling says matters.

[George K]

Vivek: "The people we elect to run the government are not running the government."

And he talks about 3-letter agencies.

Who’s on stage besides the four mentioned in the thread so far?

No one.

Burgrum dropped out, as did Pence and what's-his-name.

[George K]

BTW: Megyn Kelly's eyelashes.

If they were any bigger she wound't be able to open her eyes.

[George K]

½ of the members' suit jackets are too tight tonight, by the way.

But Vivek's sleeves....

[George K]

Christie is remarkably aggressive. But he points to the question being asked.

Good strategy.

Doesn't the campaign trail make it almost impossible to maintain a healthy diet?

[Mik]

Haley has not helped herself as much tonight, although we’ve been switching off a lot.

[Renauda]

He really should. He comes across as more incompetent and inept than even the candidate who is allegedly way out in front but hasn’t the bone-spurs to show up at a leadership debate.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Ramaswamy turned out to be nothing more than a sh1t disturbing ringer bought and paid for in advance by the Trumpino campaign. He’s was never there to win from the get go.

[89th]

I caught a clip of Vivek saying January 6th was an inside job, the 2020 election was stolen and, wait for it, the 2016 election that Trump won, was also stolen.

Presumably by Trump? Is there anyone else about whom one could say they stole the 2016 election?

He also said that The Great Replacement theory was a thing, whilst trying to replace a white man as President.

I think he said it was by Big Tech, because... Russia!

[Mik]

DeSantis's mouth is writing a lot of big checks not covered by his political capital balance. He very seldom directly answered a question last night. That's where Christie stood out.

I'm thinking Renauda might be right about Ramaswamy. He's just there to drag the rest down.
