Nikki was good. She will be a great president, as well as being the first Woman of Color to both run for and win the presidency.

-20 ( +5 / -25 )

Trump's absence deprived them of an opportunity to confront him face to face and again sent the message he deems his challengers unworthy of his attention.

And that the voters are beneath his contempt. But they are too dumb to notice.

Watching this clown show show of spinless self-serving scum, it is not hard to understand why most people have such a low opinion of politicians. What a disgusting display of humanity.

11 ( +15 / -4 )

What “rise”?

Nikki’s incompetence and being funded by Democrats and having no knowledge about foreign policy caused her to be a target.

vivek ended her.

What?

She will be a great president, as well as being the first Woman of Color to both run for and win the presidency.

That will never happen.

Ramaswamy also advanced a number of baseless conspiracy theories, claiming the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters was an "inside job" and that the 2020 election was stolen.

Also 911 inside job and Great Replacement Theory as a Democratic Party strategy.

Saying out loud and proud all the things Trump and MAGA flirt with. It is a strategy, setting himself up as Trump's bulldog for a place in a future administration.

A good representation of the bankruptcy of GOP politics.

Nikki is the wet dream of warmongers in the military-industrial complex. Very dangerous if she becomes president.

-3 ( +12 / -15 )

Was good to see Ramaswamy slammed into the ground yet again, this time by Chris Christie. Totally unacceptable to have a surrender candidate like Ramaswamy on the stage.

what a circuss.

a pathetic one.

what a "democracy"... give me a break guys :)

Yeah I know: the outcome wasn't even predetermined like in glorious Russia.

lol Rather funny coming from the supporter of a guy whose "foreign policy" knowledge is limited to the properties he holds overseas.

At least she doesn't want to become a dictator.

You see, not surrendering to our enemies shows foreign policy knowledge not ignorance.

vivek ended her.

Haley said it wasn't even worth her time to respond to Vivek. Something got ended all right.

-2 ( +9 / -11 )

What a pathetic state the GOP is in.

5 ( +13 / -8 )

Christie laid some smackdown on Ramaswamy....other than that, it was typical Repub MAGA-theater and nonsense...

Vivek did give give us a closeup of what a mental case he is...he ascribed to every crazy conspiracy theory there is - I was ready to hear that Elvis is still alive and is masquerading as Hunter...

And does DeSantis have a facial handicap? The guy can't muster a smile no matter how hard he tries...

While I'd never vote for her, Haley is the only one left that I could honestly say would not take our country over the authoritarian cliff, and given the Ultra MAGA Projector will be ensconced in his cell at Leavenworth by Nov 24, the Repubs better start printing their "Nikki" banners now...

Also 911 inside job and Great Replacement Theory as a Democratic Party strategy. 

Funny how more and more people seem to lean that way….

Saying out loud and proud all the things Trump and MAGA flirt with.

Yup!

It is a strategy, setting himself up as Trump's bulldog for a place in a future administration. 

Smart move.

A good representation of the bankruptcy of GOP politics

How??? Look at the polls!

-9 ( +5 / -14 )

Was good to see Ramaswamy slammed into the ground yet again, this time by Chris Christie.

How so?

Totally unacceptable to have a surrender candidate like Ramaswamy on the stage.

And yet, he’s resonating with more and more non-traditional conservative voters. I’d vote for the guy in a heartbeat. Christie needs to just go and sit down for lunch. He’s there for one reason and that’s to bully people.

At the Sanitarium...

Saying out loud and proud all the things Trump and MAGA flirt with.

Yup!

"I'll be a Dictator on Day One"... They're real proud of that one..

It is a strategy, setting himself up as Trump's bulldog for a place in a future administration. 

Smart move.

Genius...like Putin...

A good representation of the bankruptcy of GOP politics

How??? Look at the polls!

In the leftist MSM that can never be trusted...

Like all the debates, it just proved MAGA-world is a cesspool of crazed, racist. authoritarian conspiracy theories...

Their will never be a Republican President in the next 100 years

-5 ( +2 / -7 )

McCarthy resigned his seat

-3 ( +4 / -7 )

whose "foreign policy" knowledge is limited to the properties he holds overseas.

4 years of outstanding foreign policy results.

-10 ( +4 / -14 )

4 years of outstanding foreign policy results.

lol 4 years of doing a lot of nothing. 4 years of sucking up to the dictators he aspires to become, and siding with them over his own intelligence agencies. Pathetic.

7 ( +11 / -4 )

lol 4 years of doing a lot of nothing. 

yet no wars and little death.

how about now?

-8 ( +4 / -12 )

You guys are really upset about this “intelligence agencies” thing. sane agencies have historically been wrong nearly every time it was important.

Didn’t know liberals were such unlawful surveillance fans.

-8 ( +4 / -12 )

yet no wars and little death.

Only because Iran didn't retaliate. Let's not ever forget the moron assassinated Iran's top general.

And maga morons want to make this guy dictator.

7 ( +11 / -4 )

sane agencies have historically been wrong nearly every time it was important.

So that means you side with Putin?

Didn’t know liberals were such unlawful surveillance fans.

No. I think it's abhorrent that we had a president side with a dictator like Putin over his own intelligence agencies. But then again, I don't like dictators like some folks do :)

5 ( +9 / -4 )

lol Not that I would watch this farce if it was broadcasted on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, PBS or other more mainstream channels. What a crock.

The debate, which aired on the young cable news network NewsNation and the CW network

Chris Christie, Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy, Donald Trump has not even had the respect to turn up.

2 ( +4 / -2 )

People that support Trump fall into two characteristics,they are clinical insane and just dumb, even educated people that support Trump are just crazy

4 ( +7 / -3 )

no I do not.

But Trump does. He said it. He didn't believe his own intelligence services, instead siding with Putin. Well done.

Man that really triggered the liberals when he threw your own nonsense right back in your face.

Well yeah, he's already said he wants to suspend the constitution. He calls his opponents vermin, just like Hitler and mussolini did. He refused to rule out abusing his power if reelected. He wants to hollow out the government and fill it with political hacks, personally loyal to Trump. So yeah, I'd call that pretty worrying, but again I don't like fascism and authoritarianism like some people :)

It’s why Biden is so afraid that he MUST run again, to try to keep himself and his crime family out of prison by hiding behind the power of the presidency. He knows what’s coming for him.

thats what he meant when he bizarrely claimed he wouldn’t be running again if Trump wasn’t running. He knows he gets an undeserved free pass from anyone else once he is out of office.

-9 ( +2 / -11 )

Republican possible nominations are so nasty with each other. Who needs enemies when you have friends that like?

The Dems do it as well, they just go behind each others back in a sneaky fashion

-8 ( +3 / -11 )

She has a horrible globalist-pro-war-Kyiv attitude and we don't want her as next VP or even in the next administration.

Foreign policy experience is not the same as foreign policy wisdom and her and Biden are largely the same in this department; they both share the same failed policy and have experience of making horrible decisions.

Vivek challenged Haley - who has indicated she would support sending US troops to Ukraine - to name three provinces of Eastern Ukraine she wants to fight for; she had a completely blank caught-in-the-headlights expression and couldn't name any and tried to weasel her way out of it.

I’m sure you use lots of terms in daily life those people used.

it was just Hitler but that fell flat as an overused attack. Now it’s Mussolini? I wonder if Tojo used the term too? Or Putin or Stalin or…..

Haley's rise makes her target at U.S. Republican debate

The leader of the Republican Party, the Floridian loser facing 91 indictments, has called Nikki (Birdbrain) but recall he also appointed her. If the Republican Party does as ex-45 says "eat their young" does that mean Nikki, ex-45 and the other leading Republicans are pedo-cannibals.

1 ( +7 / -6 )

I sure hope Trump gets the Republican nomination after seeing these idiots up on stage.

-9 ( +5 / -14 )

Biden said he's only running because Trump is running. Two old men duking it out

Slurring half-finished sentences at each other and mixing up names is more like it.

2 ( +8 / -6 )

Only because Iran didn't retaliate.

That country is not suicidal.

Let's not ever forget the moron assassinated Iran's top general. 

Fantastic, definitely got their attention!

And maga morons want to make this guy dictator.

To seal the border, and drill! I’m fine with it. Do it fast and kill as much of the EV industry as you can

Pity Trump wasn’t there. He could have added in-depth knowledge of the topics, decorum, maturity and intellect.

In the 2016 debates he was talking about his knob and calling people names.
