Image via ShutterstockHere’s our first thread to discuss, mock and laugh at the second tier Republican candidates as they “debate” on CNN. I put the word “debate” in quotes because this really is nothing like a formal debate; it’s more a forum to let candidates recite their stump speeches and talking points.
There’s a live webcast at CNN’s home page.
CNN said the first debate started at 6PM. FACT CHECK: FALSE

Isn’t 6:00 pm eastern a bit early? I guess that’s one way to keep people from seeing GOP insanity.
Talking head claiming it is better to be on the undercard.
Really.
So it’s ten after 6… Enough pundits. Where’s the beef?

I think the other kid’s table “debate” was at 5 pm.
CNN’s talking heads chattering away like budgies on meth.
re: #8 Major Tom
I think the other kid’s table “debate” was at 5 pm.
This is the main event. The kids table is after this one (assuming it ever starts).
UPDATE: I think I’m wrong and you’re right. I was looking at the cable guide. They’re calling it 1st and Final Rounds.
Luckily, there’s nothing too valuable in there.
RIght Wing “Debate” in the classical sense is pretty much a dead word these days. What we have in its place is just talking points, blind dogma, and the use of just about every Logical Fallacy known to exist.
Wolf stops all discussion to watch Trump walk into the building.
God help me, I think Fox will have done a better job once this debacle is over.
CNN is on the teevee here at work. It’s going to be on here all night. I’m stuck here until everything is over and both debates end.
I’m too sober for this shit. Send booze plz.
Wolf just cut off Ana Navarro so that he could announce Trump had arrived to the venue. Get a room, Wolf!

there’s, what 15 or 16 candidates now, right? and they’re letting 11 on the “main stage”… There’s no way I’d go on the happy hour forum if I were a candidate. hell, if I were a candidate and polling outside the top 10, I’d probably consider “suspending my campaign”.

“There’s David Niven’s car! There’s Deborah Kerr’s car! There’s Alfred Hitchcar’s cock!”
On what planet does a breakdown of 4 and 11 make an iota of sense? It was amazingly cowardly for CNN not to kick one (or two!) of the so-called top 10 last time down to the JV debate. It was a cynical decision that had everything to do with creating a TV reality show (by including loose cannons Christie and Paul who have microscopic support) and nothing to do with fairness or anything else.
CNN’s love of airplanes on display. I wonder if there’s alien goings-on. Just asking questions!
Look… it’s an “actual” plane.

Basically what the kid was arrested for was a refusal to self incriminate, to tell the police what they wanted to hear. It’s really a classic fifth amendment violation, they were going to arrest him either way, either for caving-in to their coercion or for not caving-in to it.

I keep on hoping he has a moment where he realizes how utterly fucked the GOP is but after he implied last night that Carson being the standard bearer would be fine with him it made me doubt it. He sees all the time why the GOP isn’t cut to run a candy store let alone our nation and yet he stays by his team. It’s sad honestly.
Sometimes I wonder if these assclowns even know why the government is growing.

That reminds me of this a-hole that used to come into the boozer I go to. He was a total loudmouthed wingnut. One night we were talking about the health care law and he was complaining that he was gong to have to pay for the bartenders’ health insurance. “FUCK THEM!!!” he yelled. The bartenders had to keep their mouth shut, but not me. I called him a coldhearted piece of shit, and we haven’t seen him since.
Good riddance.
