There’s no reason to chase down soundbites of Adderall Ron taking Casey’s meds again and nodding wide-eyed like a bobblehead going over a railroad track, or Chris Christie taking coordinated payments from the corporations to hit Trump, or wind-testing Nikki looking to formulate her positions based on audience cheers and jeers, or Mike Pence waxing philosophically about distractions to his swamp defense, or any of the other myriad of transparently obvious motives and intentions of the corporate consulting class.
A person really only needs to watch this one segment to see all of the machinations from Fox News in alignment with the actors on stage.
Starting with the ever-insufferable Martha MacCallum teeing up the pretense with the oft familiar Bret Baier raise your hand question. There is so much in this segment, you guys -super smart and full of intellectual honesty- just write about it in the comment section, and I will enjoy a non-pretending review.
Full credit to Ramaswamy for his non pretense, and the brilliant stare at Adderall Ron as he awaits the poll testing followers. Ramaswamy leads, then the South Carolina coalition join, then Bergum goes limp up, then Ron looks over and realizes he better join, which triggers Pence and finally Krispy. It’s all perfect. All of it. Perfect in the way it encapsulates the entire field of followers. Just perfect.
Additionally, I cannot stop laughing at the human cabbage patch doll, Bret Baier, needing to turn around to the audience to protect Krispy from the jeers. Too much funny – all of it. WATCH:
Vivek Ramaswamy singing:
…”clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right – here I am, stuck in the middle with snooze”…
.
The last Republican President was Mr. Reagan, and he was stymied to a degree by the RINOS.
This subversion of the Republican party goes back decades.
Christie to Vivek: “You’ve never done anything to advance the interests of this government…” (3:39-3:43)
And there it is. They’re all about advancing the interests of a corrupt one-party dictatorship of pretense and illusion.
Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more…
Right! The job of all elected officials is to further the interests of the people and our country.
I mentioned that very thing below. It is too bad that Vivek either did not catch it or was unwilling to expose it. He could have ended Christie’s campaign (if you can call it that) by responding. “I am not here to advance the interests of government. I am here to advance the interests of the citizens.”
Unwilling to expose it,
or
he cannot afford to do this.
Well, God, if you’re 5-foot-3, from NJ and you’re 300 pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of Cannolis and krispy kremes
Young men are puttin’ themselves six feet in the ground
‘Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin’ them down
300 pounds? He looks like he weighs more than that, sadly.
Will Sundance take another look at Ramalamadingdong and realize that all others in that stage look at him and attacked as they do Trump…an outsider ready willing and able to upset all their money carts?
So, you are saying that Vivak was the stand-in punching bag, for Trump?
Vivek may be an outsider, but he is a phony. According to the Gateway Pundit, he got a scholarship from George Soros and took the side of Mike Pence on January 6. Then he flip flopped to get MAGA votes. A lot of MAGA is falling for it, including Charlie Kirk.

No, he got a scholarship from Paul Soros, George’s estranged brother. Don’t amplify the swamp spew needlessly.
He took money from a Soros when he was already a millionaire. We both know the Soros family taints anyone they touch & they expect favors back.
He wrote a book saying the 2020 elections were fine. Now he feels differently because he knows he needs MAGA supporters?
He got tossed out of his own company.
He’s awfully good with words & quick on his feet but he’s only 37, no foreign policy experience.
I can’t say that he’s ready for the presidency anymore than anyone else on that debate stage. He hasn’t even been MAGA all that long. He didn’t vote in 2016. I’m not even sure he voted for Trump in 2020.
He applied for scholarship to go to uni. I think your a bit off the mark with this comment.
Wrong. Vivek was awarded a fellowship to attend law school from The PAUL and Daisy Soros Foundation that helps children of immigrants. Not connected to his brother, George, in any way whatsoever. In fact Trump himself once obtained a $1.5 M loan from Paul Soros.
The GP article says Paul & Daisy Soros; ending with Soros saying if there’s one candidate he wants to be on the ticket it is not Vivek. Does that make sense? Swamp creatures are slimy and slippery.
Like someone or not, to give credit where credit is due and to shoot down lies and misconstrued projections where truth telling is warranted
Guess why Christie and DSantis meet (touch base) every time? Christie says what RDS will not say – to avoid all the others drawing daggers on him. Eliminate Vivek Christie ..
Well, God, if you’re 5-foot-3, from NJ and you’re over 300 pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of Cannolis and krispy kremes

‘Cause paid-off corporate politicians keep on kickin’ them down
I saw what you did there. lol
Lyin’ fat scumbelly. Trump’s gonna whup ’em again.
Wow Christie was fully gutted in 5 seconds flat, figured it’d take a couple of days to gut and render that whale
“Would you support Trump as nominee?”
DeSantis…looks right, then left (checking the room), then weakly raises his hand.
What an invertebrate.
I did a sacrifice watch so y’all wouldn’t have to. Here are the highlights: 1) The hopped up vivek shouting, “Since I am the only one up here not bought and paid for…!” that brought on Krispy’s subsequent fit of apoplexy. 2) DeSanctimonious’ constant vertical head bobbling in an attempt to look like an earnest human being. 3) The insufferable Bret Baier’s turning to the audience and begging them to stop booing so he could hear Krispy put forth his campaign platform, i.e. orange man bad. and last but not least 4) pence, absoluely glittering with his holier-than-thou pompousness and arrogance. It was a Night to Remember and will go down the same way that went.
I didn’t watch the Faux debate because every one of the ‘candydates’ are absolutely cringeworthy, not to mention that I haven’t turned them on for almost 3 years . I DID watch the Tucker interview and found it fascinating. It gave me great comfort to know that President DJT is still as honest and candid as ever and even more to the point, confident and calm. The entire field against him is swamp, from Vivek to Hutchinson, just funded by different factions. They can ALL GO POUND SAND.
If Chris Christie were three inches taller he’d be a perfect sphere.
Leadership. Now we know only one of these has any leadership. The rest can go home.
How sad for all of us that the other 7 are so lame.
Our country is desperate for true leaders, not mediocre managers.
Send Vivek on into battle. Send the others home.
According to Newsmax Desantis did the best last night, and he is being given more state endorsement today . Gee I thought
it was the other guy who did the best? but then what do i know right, guess that he will again rise in the polls and this time
stay there Yuk guess they really did good preping with him before this debate.
I know one thing for Certain, This guy cant figure out how to run his own Campaign and that is too bad but I sure do not want him as our President and should they prop him up enough to get him there I will not vote for him.
If Messrs Christie and Pence believe they are “Presidential”
There may be a few people who share that view
But not many.
Pence, who ejected Gen Flynn, who fouled up diplomacy with Korea and then “led” that disastrous Covid response. Oh yeah and also investigated election procedures? Wouldn’t elect this man for anything I can think of, I would rather make my own decisions.
And Christie! Big Nope
I don’t recall DJT ever saying anything about suspending the Constitution
Christie Cream was there to take down anybody slightly pro-MAGA. Ramaswamy became the “No Trump here so I’ll beat up on the next MAGA guy.” DeStupid the Bobble Head wisely was silent.
It’s taken out of context. As I recall, he said that because the 2020 election was stolen and a fraud, that means the termination of rules and regulations is in effect.
I call Brett & Martha “Long in the Tooth Ken & Barbie.” If my husband & I had been doing shots every time the 2 asked a lousy question, lost control of the debate or let the bozos talk over each other, we would have been dead drunk half-way into the debate.
FAUX Business News was touting how well DeStupid did, next was Ramaswamy & Hailey. WDJ op-ed said Pence was the adult in the room. I just thought he was the biggest, pompous *** on the stage. Christie Cream was revolting & deserved louder, longer booing. Hutchinson boasted he was former DEA & DOJ– that’s gonna win him votes in todays’ outrages?
Except for Ramaswamy & Bergrun (who looked stage struck), they were all arrogant, pompous ***-holes. They, like DeStupid, don’t want MAGA SUPPORTERS.
But Sundance, you nailed it! We’ve watched the handraising routine over & over. DeStupid was hilarious, looking to see who was raising their hands. Priceless. If that debate was his standout moment, he flunked badly.
