The Biggest Winners of GOP Debate Night

[ll74]

If you ask me, the Democrats have become a cult of anti-personality.

They don't seem to have anything to offer that they can run for and win on,
so they are relegated to isolating and identifying that which they are running against.

They run on policy and governing....clearly.

Pro choice policies. Human rights policies. Climate change policies. Infrastructure policies. Healthcare policies.

Republicans run on lack of governing.

Anti trans. Anti gay. Anti human rights. Anti immigration. Anti climate change. Anti healthcare. Even anti infrastructure.

They would prefer not to do a damn thing.

Biden passed the largest climate law in history of the world. His chips bill is being high tech manufacturing to it's highest.levels in history. His infrastructure bill is building new bridges and roads as we speak.

And that's all domestic....haven't even hit foreign.

No one asks you anything. You just spout out random shit that is factually incorrect on a daily basis.

health, roads, cheese and education,
baths and the Circus Maximus,
what have the Romans ever done for us?"

A big loser was Fox:

Fox's Debate Ratings Disaster: 50% Drop Since 2016 Election​

By Eric Mack | Thursday, 24 August 2023 08:18 PM EDT

Fox News’ first Republican primary debate got a terrible response from American television viewers, with the broadcast losing about half the audience Fox’s kickoff debate had during the 2016 election.

According to Nielsen, an estimated 12.8 million people watched Wednesday’s Republican debate.

But that’s a decline of almost 50% from the more 24 million people who tuned in when Trump appeared in his first presidential debate in August 2015, Nielsen reported.

The "Trump effect" was again witnessed in a January 2016 Republican primary debate hosted by Fox News that Trump also skipped — that debate also drew about 12.5 million people.

More here: https://www.newsmax.com/us/debate-viewers-donald-trump/2023/08/24/id/1131977/

The "Trump effect" is going to sink the hopes of the American left and their pet Rinos.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Ah Rightguide's patented "Ratings = Righteousness" jibba jabba. He never could explain to me why Honey Boo Boo wasn't more righteous than Donald J. Trump for three consecutive years though.

 

[HisArpy]

Offhand it seems that it was Trump that won by not showing up. His interview with Carlson had 33 million views for the first 20 min.

The Trump debates had 30 million viewers. Without him, the debates had less than half of that. You can argue that his Tucker interview might or might not have been viewed by 150 million individuals, but the truth cannot be denied - without Trump the debates were a ratings flop compared to the debates when Trump was present.

In the end, the anti-Trump crowd will do what they always do, deny and deflect, but the truth was revealed during the debate. Trump is the nominee. Not "going to be," is.

DeSantis sank his ship when he looked around first before raising his hand when asked if he'd support Trump. He's a follower, not a leader and he proved it. The rest showed that they're not capable of leading either because their platforms and ideas are small potatoes with limited flavor. They're just puppies and not the big dogs.

 

[Rightguide]

Who is Honey Boo Boo? I don't recall any conversation on the subject of your family tree.

 

[PaxNurgle]

Probably the biggest winner was Nicki Manage a Trois Haley, who came across as by far the most sane and electable one of the entire bunch. Which isn't saying I like her (other than maybe participating in a manage a trois with her; hey this IS an erotic literature board.) But rather, she seems to have more common sense, and be somewhat smarter, and have far less nefarious and (lets be honest) toxic and sometimes even downright evil ideas than the rest of the field.

Most average Americans (I'm talking AVERAGE Americans, not extremist Literotica forum trolls) want no part of some Ku Klux Klan retread, or some fat blowhard, or some foreign guy who thinks taking away the voting rights of tens of millions of Americans is a good idea.

 

[Tigersman]

Vivek is like Trump, a dictator wantabe.

 

[PaxNurgle]

He clearly has no idea of the proper role of government in a free and democratic society. But the problem is, neither does DeSantis, Trump, or any of those other extremists that Rightguide and his ilk so openly admire.

 

[VinnyVeritas]

He points out, why should he show up and give any credibility to a bunch of losers?

Everybody, to you, not sufficiently Socialist is a Strong Man, even though it is the rich history of Socialism that is resplendent with emergent strong men from its philosophical ranks. It always take the advocates of Socialism by surprise when they produce that which they profess to fear the most.

Socialism is a lot like the Highlander [games]: There can be only one!

Please, oh wanna be sage, give a list of things the right runs on?

It sure isn’t conservative issues any more.

One issue would be standing up to bullies. But you want to slurp Putin. Now there is a winning strategy. How did that work out with Hitler? Let me go check the history books…

Clearly if this is someone the left is running against, slurping a dictator. You have your priorities in the wrong place.

 

[VinnyVeritas]

I don't need to provide a list.

It's the big list of everything the the Left fights against beginning with the concept of individualism.

 

[dkovic77]

Ohhh so there isn’t a list, just own the libs. Just like Florida’s third senator taking credit for infrastructure- vital! Voted against it to own the libs.

Holding up our military promotions too. Puts us super ready when we don’t have proper leadership in place.

There is something for conservatives to run on. We love a weaker military. Not catchy, won’t fit on a red hat, but if it works for you.

 

[VinnyVeritas]

I'm not trying to own you (as a noble, but outraged, representative of the Liberal/Libertine Enlightenment).

Unlike the white patriarchy of the Democratic Left, I'm not into a system of virtual slavery for minorities under the caring patronization of the actual white supremacists who have given up their sheets only to don mantles of caring concern that share more with The Emperor's New Clothes than they do with actual Liberalism.

That’s what Trump did on 1/6/21.

Biden has already threatened the functionality of our military by filling it with non-hacking weirdos at the top. You have a left-wing woman worried about white racism running the Army, another woman running the Navy, a black racist running the Air Force as Chief of Staff, and soon-to-be Chairman of The Joint Chiefs Of Staff whose biggest worry is too many white male pilots in the Air Force, a black racist as SECDEF who's also worried about white males in the military. All of whom are more worried about Ukraine than they are about the security of the United States and the lethality of our military.

Oh and PS: Joe Biden just put a woman in Command of the Pacific Fleet. China will thank him.

 

[PaxNurgle]

...and yet, you supported Bush's invasion of Iraq, didn't you.

Which, oddly, was not too different from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, at least in terms of justification for it (obviously the U.S. military fared better there than Russia's did in Ukraine.)

The U.S. should worry about the security of the United States and the effectiveness of our military. They should not be needlessly involved in foreign wars that have no bearing on the security of the United States.

Ahhhh, so they aren’t white men. Got it. Mil is only good in your view with white men leading it. (most likely everything needs to be white men in charge)

How did that work out for the south? Even had home field advantage. But what they had were a bunch of racist country boys who couldn’t get the job done. And Grant came up through the ranks with those boys and knew their tendencies. (Here will come the Grant attacks next…)

You really gotta get over this white men are best for everything approach.

It’s comical that you think we can’t do both (support Ukraine and ensure our readiness). We fought a world war in two theaters and you think we can’t do this? (Kinda sad thinking in your part, almost loser talk right there) The artificial 3rd Florida senator block does way more damage than you are speaking of. Secdef has done what he could to work around the hold, but it’s a Republican who is hindering the nation. What? A Republican holding back our mighty military? Why yes, but let’s blame it on the democrats anyway.

Good thing he isn’t in the SEC any more, if he held back people from starting jobs like this he wouldn’t have a job. Coach Tubby- “men, we are going to go out there and fight- but no captains this year. We have second and third stringers but no top lines anywhere. We don’t have enough to do more than just offense so it will be a long year. But it will be okay, because at the end of the day- you have me your ball coach and I will make it all work.” Sound like that would work?

But in this situation he’s playing the roll of some bureaucrat in the athletics office keeping the players off the field. But leaving the army, marines, and navy without a leader. Sure seems like no captain for offense, defense, and special teams to me.

He’s hooked his train up to the Cheeto, just as you have, and taking that straight down a tunnel with no opening. Loss after loss should be clear, but they keep lying to supporters…and you are still gullible enough to fall for it.

So good luck. Facts and 91 counts for the Cheeto. (And the guy flipped in the Docs case, really think it’s just his word versus the Cheeto?). Hell, he can’t even tell the truth on his height and weight. You don’t get to measure the “hair” and just lie on the weight.

As soon as we need to our military for an emergency, it will be the ball coach who is at fault. Republicans, republicans, and…

The “own the libs” disorder that you have is so strong it makes you see past all of this. We do have a mental health crisis in this country and it starts with getting this condition corrected. It should be called the Gingrich Syndrome. Treatment is to get your head out of your ass.

Before the Obama and Biden administrations, the US military was apolitical and the only really successfully integrated government agency. Democrats led by Obama have turned it into an incohesive mess by focusing on anti-white racism and gender issues instead of perfecting its readiness and lethality. The reason why there are so many whites in the military is because they are the majority of the selection pool, not because of some fantasy about white racism invented by the left to bring the country down. The time we spend on this race and gender shit in the military is going to come back to haunt us in the coming years. That's because every war that happens is won twenty years before it begins because it is all about preparation and readiness. We aren't anywhere near prepared or ready as we speak. The rest of your convoluted bullshit I'm not going to address.

The military's lead is the President. The military has always been political.

Not going to address since you know it’s right.

Ohhhh the majority of the selection pool, so just over 50% and they should have ALL of the leaders.

And now you still want all white men, even though the enlistment more represents non-white men.

So yeah, you just show you are a racist and a sexist. You were finally right about something, you are racist and sexist. Good job! Celebrate this day!

(I’m sure your family has celebrated this for many days!!!!!!)

Bullshit, the military wasn't apolitical in Vietnam, nice try wrongway,but you can't sell this bullshit. A whole generation grew up knowing this...

THE most interesting part of all the noise from the left about how the military is "racist" is that those making the noise never had to sleep/eat/shower/shit/shave while sharing the same room with people of different ethnicities every day and night.
