Just four years ago, certainly eight years ago, and for decades before that, when a primary debate was broadcast on a major network, it was important. It commanded attention. The MSM treated it as their ROLE to constrict and script the event for what THEY thought was best for us, but mostly for what they felt was best for THEM.
Now, they are nearly irrelevant and their debates are a side show.
Their ONLY relevance is as a contrast to Trump and to independent media.
(Just Human)
We need to remember the RNC is part the DS act. No political party truly representing the people would have held a debate when one candidate has such a commanding lead. It would be shepherding its funds wisely and enjoying the luxury of already preparing for the general election.
Like how the DNC is trying desperately to ignore RFK Jr., it's being demonstrated for both sides at once.
DNC - the enemy who hates us
RNC - the enemy who pretends to like us who hates us
When I heard Trump skipped a debate in the 2016 election, I thought, "Gosh, I hope that doesn't hurt him in the polls."
I was a lot more naive then.
I agree with Kari Lake's assessment, something to the effect the GOP debate was like sitting at the kid's table at Thanksgiving.
I remember the days of fighting tooth and nail to get highly antagonistic air time for patriot candidates..
It's sad to look back and know just how bad it was, and makes me really grateful for how far the white hats have taken us. It's amazing.
I actually thought the debate was good. It completely re-confirmed to me why DJT is the ONLY choice.
It was a masterclass in WTF is wrong about the Republican party and their RINOs.
Asa - might as well be a Dem
Chris (I can't lay off the donuts) Christie - perhaps it's not the donuts, he's just so full of shit!
Pence - Judas (need I say more?)
Ronny boy - gets a +1 for keeping FL open, liked the tough talk about the border too but just secure it. No need to send troops into Mexico.
Oh here we go, next was the Slumdog millionaire who couldn't wait to burst into song and dance. I gotta admit, he did come out with some fuck you and fuck you, fuck you too moments. Spat my coffee a few times, some real meme worthy bits. He gets +1 for the entertainment and another +1 for some of the truths he told but I'm not convinced by the bling bling.
Nikki (MIC mattress) Haley - we need wars, everywhere because Russia, China, Iran bla bla bla. Ukraine is the first line of defence, Taiwan is the first line of defence, Israel is the first line of defence. Good luck on the boards of Lockheed and Raytheon lol.
Tim Scott - good for diversity I guess
Governor Doug - had a few good things to say but looked like Count Dracula about to be exposed to sunlight every time they turned to him.
So yeah, if that's all they've got I think they're done.
I don't even need to hatewatch it now, thanks fren!
Democrats stopped the debates, turned them into nothing
What debate are you talking about?
...
(I agree with your assessment. It is amazing how far we've come, and important to note the drastic change in what has become important on the world stage.)
