Winners & Losers From First Republican Debate
Aug 25^th, 2023 at 8:56pm

Nikki Haley ended up as winner on the night
at 6.3/10 average, and Asa Hutchinson ended
up at 2.1/10 average.

Journo Bret Stephens said Asa only gets
a 1 because it isn’t often that you get a
palindrome in politics LOL.

Hutchinson claims to be only 72, but looking
at him, I'd be guessing he's more like Biden's
age of 80+ years.

The American people. What a hopeless bunch of losers. Haley did okay. Meatball Ron was so out of his depth it's not funny. Christie under-performed. Vivek Ramaswamy is not only insane (literally), but also an irritating little sh!t.

The crappy second-runner...

Quote:

Jamelle Bouie: This debate has confirmed what his steep decline in the polls
has suggested: Ron DeSantis has no gas, no spark, no juice. He was barely
a presence onstage and when he spoke, it was with a distinctly off-putting
style of petulant aggression, peppered with references to the villains of the
larger Fox News Cinematic Universe (“Fauci! Deep state! Hunter Biden!”).

Trump and Tucker Break the Internet
On Republican Primary Debate Night

Quote:

Republican candidates have gone head-to-head in their first debate. Trump skipped the debate but he won it anyway: his interview with Tucker has been viewed 230 million times, breaking every record in history.

Wednesday marked a big day in American politics. Eight candidates from the Republican party took to the debate stage in Milwaukee to convince the Republican base of their suitability for a shot at the White House in 2024.

In a most unusual twist, Donald Trump, who is the clear frontrunner, opted to skip the debate altogether. Instead he joined Tucker Carlson for a one-on-one interview on X, formerly Twitter.
Trump and Tucker’s Rival Program

Trump and Tucker were a well-suited pair. The Republican party’s leadership still view Trump as a rogue, anti-establishment figure, despite his overwhelming popularity among Republican voters.

Meanwhile, Tucker had his own reasons to direct attention away from the Fox News broadcast: he was easily the most popular cable news host in American history until Fox News ousted him earlier this year.

It is a sign of the times, then, that the two men most rejected by America’s conservative establishment have just produced the most-watched interview in world history. Just 12 hours after the Tucker-Trump chat aired on X, it had racked up over 200 million views. That figure now stands at 230 million views — and counting.

Fox News, which is yet to report its ratings from debate night, will be lucky to have secured one tenth of that audience.

The events of Wednesday night have prompted many to quip that Trump won the debate he never attended.
