Haley Tries To Clinch Second Place At Last Scheduled Republican Debate – TPM – Talking Points Memo

The more I think of it, the more I like this mix. Rashaswamy will have no boundaries, Haley will eviscerate him, Christie is always good for an entertaining exchange, and DeSantis will be everyone’s punching bag. Making popcorn now, lol.

Ramaswamy has already promised to…

He’s out of it. DeSantis has been out of it.

It’s Haley and Christie. The Republican 2024 candidates.

ETA: Still to be decided: Who’s President and who’s VP.

That is unfair, he did the best he could.

Neither. Candidate for President is Donald Trump (It doesn’t matter if he is handcuffed to a hospital bed), Vice-President, some woman that has been nice to him. (Not you Marjorie, you are too ugly).

Kate really deserves something nice from Santa. No one should have to listen to DeSantis or Ramaswamy for more than thirty seconds.

Sixty tops.

Just an observation:

Not watching the debate, just following along here. Doesn’t appear to be a real barn burner.

It was considerate of the GOP not to put this debate on a channel that we might accidentally find.

Ramaswamy is there as a shill for Trump, nothing more. Wouldn’t surprise me if he was in direct communication with Trump’s campaign to get talking points.

No way was I watching this brigade of bozos yammer on. Thank you TPM for the appropriately disgusted coverage. The GQP is a low point in human history.

Ramaswamy checks the box of being slavishly devoted to Trump, just the way Pence was up until the afternoon of January 6. None of the other three on stage checked that box. If what I read is correct that Ramaswamy completely made an ass of himself in this evening’s debate, I could see him dropping out after the next round of polls. He would immediately endorse Trump at that point.

Trump revived replacing the ACA last week; DeSantis hopped aboard that train and said he wants to “supercede” the law.

DeSantis is so stupid that he misspells “supersede” even when he utters the word.

Another way the GQP is in lockstep with health insurance companies.

@KateRiga, Thanks for taking one for the team tonight and giving us back hours we would have wasted watching the clown-show.
