Canada is having a leaders' debate tonight. I am much more likely to watch that, but even that's not likely.

I don't get the teevees, but I will watch the funniest parts online later.

Did they already have the hilarious losers debate? I mean the one with all of the superlosers who didn't make it into the regular hilarious losers debate tonight.

The New York Times has an amusing circlejerk of a live debate thread going on. It's all NYT people talking about how they know stuff and all!
Quote:
There is a really interesting ideological debate going on right now between Huckabee and Christie over entitlement reform.
:unnod:
I can't watch live but the main thing I'm taking away from online reaction is that Rand Paul is an effete little turd of a man.

Rand Paul is just all the way odd and he sounds condescending alla time. Jeb! has the Bush smirk. Rubio has strange ears. Carson seems kinda autistic. All are assholes.

Megyn Kelly is a terrible person except when she thinks you are sexisming then she kinda rocks.

Coupla weeks ago Politico had a pretty good (for Politico) thing about how lazy and dumb Rand Paul is and how now he'll never be president, like he was going to be president one day.

I'm with ES standards. Given the field the only available options,
Option 1, John Stewart, Kristen Shal and Amy Pohler all commenting while getting high on random unknown drugs delivered to them by a parade of slowly more stereotypical mexicans.
Option 2, FF's coverage, which still seems to be loading :loading:
Option 3, 5 uninterrupted hours of a clown crying.

I went with option 2, as the world apparently isn't awesome enough for option 1 and option 3 requires me to renew my subscription to the East German comedy station.

The Guardian says Republican debate: Trump was garbled, incoherent - but dominant | US news | The Guardian

Although Google thinks I probably want this translation: Republikaanien Keskustelu: Trump oli sekaisin, epäjohdonmukaisia ​​- mutta hallitseva

Sweet fucking Jesus

Quote:
“Every time you did a case, you got a warrant from a judge,” [Paul] replied. “I’m talking about searches without warrants indiscriminately of all Americans‘ records and that‘s what I fought to end. I don‘t trust President Obama with our records. I know you gave him a big hug and if you want to give him a big hug again, go right ahead.”

But Christie had possibly prepped an answer should the hug in question come up.

“And you know, Senator Paul, you know the hugs that I remember are the hugs that I gave to the families who lost their people on September 11th,” said Christie.
Cuz the whoring of 9/11 worked so well for Rudy 9ui11iani.

Rand Paul is an obnoxious hypocritical opportunist and hothouse flower, but at least he had the goddamn common decency to roll his eyes at Christie's ghastly comment.

Bloody hell.

Quote:
Trump was uninvited from the RedState Gathering late on Friday after saying in a CNN interview that Fox News’s Megyn Kelly “had blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever”, while questioning him during Thursday night’s debate.
Apparently the organiser is a fighter:
Quote:
“I expect Trump to lash out at Erick but Erick wins when he fights and has a huge microphone and speaks to a lot of conservatives across the country.”
But simultaneously weak and pathetic:
Quote:
A Trump campaign spokesperson responded: “This is just another example of weakness through being politically correct. For all of the people who were looking forward to Mr Trump coming, we will miss you. Blame Erick Erickson, your weak and pathetic leader.”

Trump is the candidate the Rebuplicans have been waiting for since at least Gingrich's Contract on America. I wish I didn't understand why he's leading the polls.
