Quote of quotes:
“I’m sick of Republicans losing,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said.
Limber up there, Rhonda!
Thing is, Republicans lose wherever they don’t get to cheat. This is for two reasons:
- Their policy positions are extremely unpopular with Americans
- Their character qualities range from “bad boss” to “fratboy rapist” to “daddy issues”.
And then the news media continue to present Republican policy positions and candidates as if they were normal American behavior by normal Americans.
They’re really not. They only win when they cheat.
What policy positions? Donald J. Trump was president of this country. What part of that tells you that policy positions can break a candidate? Democrat apathy is what decides elections.
Yep ~ in a sane world they’d be extinct like the Dodo ~ but they keep getting a pass
The Dodo wasnt badly adapted it was the damned Dutch that did them in!
Liked it when Nikki Haley called Vivek Ramaswamy scum. It’s an apt description.
BUT a year ago, this week, she called for the deportation of U.S.-born Sen. Warnock at a rally to elect MAGA domestic abuser Herschel Walker.
She’s a bigoted extremist like the rest of them.
No, she’s not like the rest of them. She’s worse. Nimrata won’t even use her real first name. Because she knows the bigots she’s pandering to would attack her. She thinks she can control them to her benefit. And not be a victim to them. She holds a hypocrisy above and beyond your average Republican. Her Piyush Jindal and Vivek Ramaswami all.
Haley looked and sounded good though. She’s the one I’m worried about. I think Biden could easily handle the others. Haley is a legitimate threat.
Good thing Republicans are too stupid and sexist to legitimately entertain her.
Any of these fuckers realize the party is toast yet?
endless loop of attack ads of 10 year old girls forced to carry to term their rapists baby with Donald Trump saying “I’m the guy who killed Roe vs. Wade” with the entire GOP laughing and clapping him on the back as it fades to black with the words THIS IS WHO THEY ARE across the screen
Could you imagine if the Democratic party had the cajones to do that?
That would hurt their chances to ‘reach across the aisle’.
They already have done that bud.

In the days before Tuesday’s election, voters across Ohio heard a stark warning in an ad that blanketed the airwaves. “She could be your neighbor, or niece, your sister or daughter,” the ad said, “But if she is raped and gets pregnant, a law in Ohio would force her to have the child.”
In Kentucky, a young woman named Hadley spoke directly to voters in an ad from Gov. Andy Beshear’s campaign. “I was raped by my stepfather after years of sexual abuse,” she said. “I was 12. Anyone who believes there should be no exceptions for rape and incest could never understand what it’s like to stand in my shoes.”
Deeply personal and explicit, the ads signaled a new tone in Democrats’ messaging on abortion rights, one that confronts head-on the consequences of strict anti-abortion laws.
Maybe you need the cajones to open your eyes lol. Jokes aside and to your point, this shit is LATE AS FUCK. Better than never tho
That doesn’t sound nearly as hard hitting to me personally. Doesn’t include the attack on the Republicans for making this happen.
I just listened to the one featuring Hailey, and it is hard-hitting. It is her telling her story. It left the Kentucky Uncle Tom speechless, and he never recovered from it. They absolutely will do this in every state. It worked, and they have endless clips to use and, unfortunately, endless children being raped by Republicans.
“We’ve become a party of losers,” he [Ramaswamy] lamented
“lol” said anyone with an ounce of sanity left in this country, “lmao”
The last time they won as an aggregate was 2016. They’ve been severely underperforming ever since, and the SCOTUS takeover was a direct result of the 2016 win.
The problem is, they don’t have to win to exert their influence due to the extremely broken US electoral system.
If you don’t like losing?
Maybe don’t pick fights with a megacorp with a large proportion of the best litigators in the world in the world on retainer… over deeply unpopular culture war bullshit…. When thst megacorp is one of your state’s top employers and revenue-generators…,
The takeaways should be that nobody gives a shit because these are the also-rans. The Republican nominee will be Trump, and then they’re gonna be fucked because he’ll be campaigning from jail.
I don’t think he’ll do a day in prision. From what I see from American posts, your justice system is all kinds of fucked and plagued with corruption.
Yeah dude will delay and appeal forever and die on the toilet before he dies in a jail cell.
Just like my dad.
Here’s to hoping
Lawrence O’Donnell said nobody is really trying to hit trump because “This is the debate in case trump chokes on a cheeseburger” and I’m still laughing
Gotta admit. I didn’t have build a wall on the northern border on my bingo card. Canadian drug traffickers everywhere all the sudden. Vivek is something else.
Edit: It’s borderline criminal that no one on his communication staff thought to add “… and make Trudeau pay for it.” He needs to hire more trump staffers.

He stole that from Scott Walker.
“We’ve had first Wall yes, but what about Second Wall?”
“Takaways”
I don’t think that I will…
I don’t even need to watch it to know it was a shit show.
Are they really losing though?I mean, they control SCOTUS & the House, and plenty of states are still tossups wrt governor.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
A night after a stinging series of election losses at the hands of Democrats, the candidates vented their frustrations on the debate stage.
DeSantis has long contrasted his successful re-election last year in Florida with Republican setbacks in the last few elections, including Trump’s loss in 2020.
Earlier in the day, his campaign argued that backing Trump cost candidates seats in races such as the one for governor of Kentucky, where Republican Daniel Cameron lost to Democrat Andy Beshear.
Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy blamed Ronna McDaniel, the chair of the Republican National Committee, instead of Trump, for the party’s recent performance.
Ambassador Nikki Haley, DeSantis and even debate moderator Kristen Welker early on in the night, in an apparent bid to grab attention away from his higher-polling foes.
All eyes were on Haley and DeSantis, who were widely expected to go after each other in a bid to establish themselves as the top challenger to Trump in the Republican nominating contest.
The original article contains 536 words, the summary contains 160 words. Saved 70%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Maybe it is because I moved from Reddit to /kbin, but I didn’t even know they had a third debate. Or maybe it is because this whole Republican primary is such a waste of time. When is the Democratic debate, come to think of it… lol.
Nikki Haley is legit. Vivek called her Cheney in heels lol. Desantis made one good point about not raising retirement age while life expectancy is declining.
Life expectancy is declining because republicans keep preventing Americans from getting health insurance. In all other advanced countries it’s rising.
Not to mention you are saving millions without taxing the people more.
Then just to add the cherry on top no it’s not. It’s most likely from COVID.
But they still want to believe COVID was a half so they can’t admit that’s the cause.
