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

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        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?

          Thank you for your attention to this matter.

            No one.

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

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

                But Vivek's sleeves....

                  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?

                        Vivek defines competence as being able to name Ukrainian provinces.

                        Go the FUCK away, Vivek.

                        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.

                        Elbows up!

                          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.

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

                                  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.

                                          My favorite Ron DeSantis moment: Asked which U.S. President would inspire him, he said Calvin Coolidge.

                                          From the transcript of last night's debate:

                                          One of the guys I’ll take inspiration from is Calvin Coolidge. Now, people don’t talk about him a lot. He’s one of the few presidents that got almost everything right. He understood the proper role of the federal government under the Constitution. We need to restore the U.S. Constitution as the centerpiece of our national life. And that requires a president who understands the original understanding of the Constitution, who has a good sense of the Bill of Rights, and who knows how we’ve gone off track with this massive fourth branch of government, this administrative state which is imposing its will on us and is being weaponized against us. So, silent Cal knew the proper role of the federal government. The country was in great shape when he was President of the United States, and we can learn an awful lot from Calvin Coolidge.

                                          I was genuinely touched.

                                          For the record, Chris Christie, asked first, said Ronald Reagan; Nikki Haley, asked second, said George Washington and Abe Lincoln; and Vivek Ramaswamy, asked last, said Thomas Jefferson.


                                          "President Coolidge, I bet a friend that I can get you to say more than two words at dinner tonight. What do you say to that?"

                                          "You lose."

                                          "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
