The Republican Debate thread

  1. Fox's format of repetitive coverage of the same events with different panels of blonde bimbo "experts" has grown a bit stale. I virtually never watch it. I get most of my news from Drudge.

    One benefit of the wide polarization of politics now is that there is little need to dig deeply into an issue. If any of a group of litmus test pols are either for or against it, that tells you all you need to know.

  2. I think you are giving them too much credit. I believe they wanted political mudwrestling for the entertainment value and next day buzz, but they also had an agenda to take down Trump and push up Bush. Unless you talk to people who are part of the establishment wing of the party, you cannot imagine how invested they are with Bush. People like Hannity will still argue that W Bush was a good president.

  3. blonde bimbo "experts"? Ya some kinda homo?:p But seriously, I hear what you're saying, but I do like to get my "news" and opinion pieces from multiple sources, even left leaning source. There isn't anyone always right and/or wrong. We're up to our eyeballs in political bias passing as news or "middle of the road" opinion.

    But half the country probably would like an explanation for Trump's apparently disrespectful attitude towards them. Was it unfair to ask, and provide recent examples?

  5. I don't disagree with your general assessment, but I don't know how concerted the effort is to take him down. I do know that they are confused as all get out.
