I hate to admit it, but I tend to agree with Trump in this instance. I’m thinking the RNC probably is packing the debate audience with establishment friendly attendees in an effort to avoid a repeat of the 2012 debate audiences that cheered a man dying for lack of health insurance and booed a gay soldier. It probably also helps that they hate Trump, and the RNC is probably hoping some of that will wear off on the rest of the base.
What was that math formula … oh yea, at 10 P.M. she’s a 2 and at 2 A.M. she’s a 10. Or something like that
Or, you wake up the next morning and can’t remember his name, so you send him in to shower so you can go through his wallet looking for an ID. (So I’ve heard )
Yes, unfortunately at times embarrassing moments arise - and may I add of course through no fault of one’s own. Think of it as charity in order to maintains one’s moral compass. Also, make sure you bring two bags, not one. And please, always have an eye on the exits so as not to find oneself in flagrante delicto.
I agree but that doesn’t stop debate judges from taking boos into account.
Everything I know about running for President, I learned at Wrestlemania. – D. J. Trump
gotta agree with him there
Is there nothing that Donald “the draft dodging coward” won’t complain about?
Not only is he a draft dodging coward, but he’s also the leader of the “Trump lives matter” victim group.
What a wuss and a pussy.
Spot on, PluckyInKY. RNC definitely clinging to last vestiges of message control over their moronic base. OTOH, be careful what you wish for,Trump. Could be off-putting if your skinhead crowd shows up with their usual “Deutschland Uber Alles” fervor.
They could pack the audience with people that Trump has steamrolled over to save a nickel here and a penny there.
How about victims of Trump’s numerous bankruptcies, they’d probably really cheer him on.
Trump’s unfavorables are well above his favorable, so maybe he should can the whining and try ‘winning’.
It is a travesty that ABC, Foxy and other news outlets are stuffing the Republican debate audiences with big donors and Kochheads. The applause and audience responses at the debate have been spooky.
Most popular girl’s name of 2016?
pffft. The only guys you remember are the pair of Andrew Jacksons on the bedside dresser and the Trojan in your hair.
No one ever hated his mother more than Gore did. Nina was a drunk, a philander, abusive to Gore, but maybe it’s what made him so sharp and so acerbic and the winner in his debates with William Buckley ca 1968.
Even with all that, Gore had an even worse opinion of Hugh Auchincloss. Must have been a real piece of work.
I’ve done just enough reading about Gore’s family and the Kennedys to know that Jackie and sister Lee called him Uncle Hughdie, D being his initial. Did you know that Gore was best of friends with Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. They’d come to Italy and hang out. Maybe that’s what got Paul on Nixon’s enemies list.
Well then Donnie, why don’t you sell the tickets yourself. You’re a business mans man and you’re smart so figure out how many seats there are and sell the tickets on amazon.com or ebay.com to the highest bidders. That way you can’t whine about the result like a little boy who lost his marbles to the school yard bully.
Donnie, if you were anymore insecure you’d fall apart at the seams.
I love the story of the near fist fight he got into with Bobby Kennedy in the White House
Do you have this is in color and with motioning hands?
In 1988, The League of Women Voters pulled out of sponsoring presidential debates. How prescient they were. Their press release from 1988:
NEWS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
October 3, 1988
LEAGUE REFUSES TO “HELP PERPETRATE A FRAUD”
WITHDRAWS SUPPORT FROM FINAL PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE
WASHINGTON, DC —“The League of Women Voters is withdrawing its sponsorship of the presidential debate scheduled for mid-October because the demands of the two campaign organizations would perpetrate a fraud on the American voter,” League President Nancy M. Neuman said today.
“It has become clear to us that the candidates’ organizations aim to add debates to their list of campaign-trail charades devoid of substance, spontaneity and honest answers to tough questions,” Neuman said. “The League has no intention of becoming an accessory to the hoodwinking of the American public.”
Neuman said that the campaigns presented the League with their debate agreement on
September 28, two weeks before the scheduled debate. The campaigns’ agreement was negotiated “behind closed doors” and was presented to the League as “a done deal,” she said, its 16 pages of conditions not subject to negotiation.
Most objectionable to the League, Neuman said, were conditions in the agreement that gave the campaigns unprecedented control over the proceedings. Neuman called “outrageous” the campaigns’ demands that they control the selection of questioners, the composition of the audience, hall access for the press and other issues.
“The campaigns’ agreement is a closed-door masterpiece,” Neuman said. “Never in the history of the League of Women Voters have two candidates’ organizations come to us with such stringent, unyielding and self-serving demands.”
Neuman said she and the League regretted that the American people have had no real opportunities to judge the presidential nominees outside of campaign-controlled environments.
“On the threshold of a new millennium, this country remains the brightest hope for all who cherish free speech and open debate,” Neuman said. “Americans deserve to see and hear the men who would be president face each other in a debate on the hard and complex issues critical to our progress into the next century.”
Neuman issued a final challenge to both Vice President Bush and Governor Dukakis to “rise above your handlers and agree to join us in presenting the fair and full discussion the American public expects of a League of Women Voters debate.”
