Who's going to watch or listen to the debate tonight?

I just have a feeling that even though Trump won’t be there? It’s going to be still a $#i+ show!

The other candidates are like a stubborn pack of mules and have no viable charisma to speak of! With the select few, they will still be afraid of Trump’s reach and will wallow in his pity cause of all the charges Trump faces! They won’t cross Trump, because they might be a short list for VP, if Trump should make it thru the primaries.

So no, I am not going to do either! I couldn’t care less about any GOBer or they views! Period!

But I would be interested to see how Pence and DeepSantis fare with their own issues?

I want to hear Christie emasculate Trump. And watching mealy-mouth Pence pretend to be virtuous should fun. Then there's DeSantis, who will put "woke" in every sentence. That pack of liars will reveal themselves to be TS Eliot called "the hollow men" -- not with a bang but a whimper.

At least a portion to witness how far these candidates are willing to debase themselves, particularly DeSantis who I expect will get a pounding as the #2 guy.

I don't expect to watch the entire shit-show because Trump will be hovering over the event in absentia. Chris Christie, however, should be in rare form; this is his moment.

I'll be watching it as a performance, not as a debate.

Waste a second of my time watching a debate from a party who has the runaway candidate telling voters if elected he will continue his effort to tear up democracy and in effect become a modern day Stalin/Hitler/Putin.

Trying to fight a version of the civil war all over again ? Good luck assholes. Our party along with the incensed independents will vote Joe and Kamala and a bunch of other sane candidates into office in 2024.

contribute to their ratings.

It was reported a couple of weeks ago that fox news would not allow unaffiliated media outlets to reuse more than three minutes of excerpts from the debate.

No need to subject myself to their bullshit. It's not as if they are going to say anything that causes me to suddenly develop a conservative bent, so I'm not their target audience at all and they are for damn sure not my target candidates.

And the whole checking out what your enemy is up to in no way requires me to watch a gaggle of buffoons say the same old shit they always say.
