On a summer, Sunday evening when there's an NBA playoff on. I'm sure it was highly rated!

I guess CNN didn't air any prmos of it, after all, she's only a woman.

Besides, everybody who follows is going to be TFG-ME TOO! so what's the point? People already heard the real thing.

presidential candidates feature boosted Tim Scott as someone who should be taken seriously even if he isn't but buried poor Nikki as not worth even that.

""She brings nothing demographically or ideologically to the GOP that it doesn’t already have," Mike Madrid writes."

Uhuh.

statement from a couple of days ago that the US should side with Russia against Ukraine. Yes, she actual said that. It was quickly walked back by a spokesperson from her campaign who said she "mispoke."

I understand the moderator didn't ask about that but allowed her to flip-flop and say we should back Ukraine.

Amazing. I caught some of the pundit review after the townhall was over and none of them, that I saw, mention her misstatement on Ukraine or how the moderator allowed her to flip-flop without challenge.

CNN is dead.

is the #1 issue for women in amerikkka. This moron, whom our sadistic court sees as not competent enough to have ownership of her own body, completely misses the point.
The far more important issue is women's freedom to have complete autonomy over their own bodies and her support for Dobbs is a kick in the gut and a betrayal of women.

I'm not a fan, but at least she is neither an election denier nor a climate denier.

That said, she wants to offload actual action on climate change onto India and China. It's the old circular argument of "we shouldn't have to do anything because not enough is being done". So, it's barely better than denialism.

That's where I tuned out.

…such that DeSantis has to jump on the Putin bandwagon to avoid getting killed in the primaries by Russian sock puppets. On that note, Nikki is toast as Russia sock puppets erase her candidacy before it even starts.

As there should be. I suspect by the time it really starts to count, sometime early next year or late this year, she'll be pretty much done for.
