    Well, they must have watched. Trump almost quadrupled CNN's ratings.

    The cynical side of me would suggest that this might have all been about ratings and money....

    I think it serves two purposes:

    1. Ratings
    2. It gives an appearence of at least trying to be a little less biased.

        If Germany can't step forward, who can?

        Actually Poland is trying hard to become the other continental power.

        Interesting. We've grown up seeing them as a relatively powerless nation, which is not at all what they originally were.

          Okay.

          Word is, that after his performance last night, DeSantis is meeting with his advisors this morning.

          His campaign may be called off.

          Word amongst whom? Trump supporters? Sounds a bit like wishful thinking

            I read that on a couple of different political sites. Maybe it's all smoke. Or maybe DeSantis is weighing his options.

                Fish or cut bait or….. out of the corner like Jake LaMotta Rocky Marciano.

                Am hoping that Trump gets his nose bloodied, and bloodied good.

                I can just see Trump shadow boxing at the end.

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

                        Complaining noisily about CNN bias whilst simultaneously sucking Trump's dick is quite an achievement.

                            President Trump during town hall on debt ceiling:

                            QUOTE
                            Congress has always raised the debt limit when required to avoid a default. Trump himself raised the limit three times during his time in the White House.

                            When asked by Collins why he is now calling on Republicans to avoid raising the debt ceiling, Trump replied: "Because now I'm not president." 😂 😂

                                I am not sure he was trying to be either, but at least in this case, he was honest. 555
