I recorded the debase debate last night because I wanted to form my own opinion of what I saw before I read or heard anyone else’s take on it. Well, I have to say it was enlightening.
In fairness, I do watch these more for the entertainment value than to actually get any information on what these people intend to do if they were to become the leader of our nation (contemplating that is much too frightening). Here’s what I learned (or might have, if I bought into any of this BS).
Nikki said (I’m paraphrasing, but all of what I say is pretty close to what a word by word transcript of any of their statements would be) that we have to get rid of these state and local taxes that are going to rich people in blue states that are being paid by people in red states.
Ramy said we have cartel tunnels under the border wall that are so big they can drive a semi truck through them! And another snippet I caught was him saying to Timmy “thanks for talking while I’m interrupting”.
(Mo)Ron’s gonna use the US military to go after Mexican drug cartels. I guess the idea is to invade a foreign nation? That’ll work out so swell we’ll probably expand the efforts into Columbia and Nicaragua. I wonder how he’ll get Mexico to pay for it?
Moderately moderator Dana’s question to Pench, in part: You had the majority in both houses in 2016 and couldn’t get Obamacare repealed, and now it’s more popular than ever. How do you plan to fix that?
Part of Mikey’s answer is an expedited death penalty for mass shooters, but when he did get back to the original subject he said part of the solution is to shut down the department of education. I think his next brainstorm will be to shut down public schools. It’s brilliant; no more schools, no more school shootings! Oh, wait, what was the question?
Ronbo’s answer to the problem of lack of insurance (health or disaster insurance, Stuart wasn’t very clear about which) was blah, blah, ramble, ramble, something, something, and a lady in Iowa can’t afford her groceries.
And that got me to about the 45 minute mark. Getting there took over an hour because I had to keep rewinding to make sure I was actually hearing the words (I can’t call them ideas) they were spouting. Not to mention the BS was coming in multiple waves of everyone trying to talk over each other.
At that point I decided the best use of my remaining time before leaving to work was to fix a cup of nice Jamaican coffee and sit in my back yard and enjoy nature greeting a new day. No doubt what I got out of that was better than seeing what the rest of this assclown shitshow debate was about.
I will give CC credit for one thing though. He was a consistent attack dog on the missing one.
I only have one suggestion (and I’m sure I’m not the first) for they next debate. Can we make it more entertaining and have a podium for MENACE on the stage? If he declines to show they can have someone in a chicken costume stand behind it and flap their wings and squawk when asked a question or ridiculed by one of the others.
That’s pretty much what I got out of it, now I’ll go look to see if there was anything of substance anyone else found.
