I'm curious what people think of the republican primary debate which Trump did not take part in.

David Pakman streamed the debate which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/ccPDCzJuLgI

Here are some of the takeaways: https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/23/politics ... index.html

I'm not sure what to think just yet cause I rarely watched republican debates, but I thought Ron DeSantis would try to leave a bigger impact than he did.

DeSantis hasn't crashed down yet, although he might burn-up due to re-entry and leave no impact whatsoever.

lol it wasn't trump. I listened to 30 minutes of his tucker carlson interview that aired at the same time because he was promising something worth listening to.. nope, same old bunch of drivel and complaints about water pressure! :lol: What a clown. Just stfu and go to jail already.

From the few clips I've seen, chris christie is the only one that had anything real to say about the republican party having to move forward by being grounded in reality and moving on from trump's despicable conduct. Everyone else on the stage is just a trump nut swinger hoping to get the tinfoil hat vote after trump gets disqualified.

Hutchinson is against Trump.
Trump calls him “Ada.”No love between those two.

I did not care enough to watch the debate; only enough to respond to your question.

The biggest surprise for me was when Ramaswamy was lustily booed by this clearly Trumpy audience for saying climate change was a hoax. Another surprise was that trans issues were not brought up.

Otherwise what occurred is what had been occurring since 2015. Republican candidates are going to alienate voters they need no matter what they say. Any hint criticizing Trump dooms them in the primaries. Actually not being Trump dooms them in the primaries. Any hint of enabling Trump alienates moderates and Never Trump conservatives they will need in the general election. So what we have been getting is a lot of I respect the constitution but weaponizing prosecution is bad. Trying to please everybody and pleasing nobody.

Kay Ivey is horrible. Worse than Abbott, Maybe not as bad as DeSatan.

Worst governor in modern Alabama history. Even George Wallace repented and did a 180.

The above posted Salon article said Asa was Alabama’s governor.I should have added an arrow pointing up.

Trump drops 6 points in post-debate GOP poll

Quote:

Former President Trump saw a slight decrease in his support among Republican primary voters after he skipped the first GOP debate last week, according to a new poll from Emerson College.

The poll, which was conducted Aug. 25-26, found 50 percent of GOP primary voters said they plan to vote for Trump, down from 56 percent in a pre-debate poll and the lowest support to date in an Emerson poll.

At the same time, multiple candidates saw a slight uptick in support in the aftermath of the debate, which took place Wednesday in Milwaukee.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley saw the largest boost, with her support jumping from 2 percent to 7 percent after the debate.

The poll found Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at 12 percent, up 2 percentage points from before the debate.

Former Vice President Mike Pence got 7 percent support in the poll, up from 3 percent before the debate.

The poll found that 27 percent of voters felt entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy won the debate last week, but it did not immediately translate to an increase in his support, which dropped from 10 percent to 9 percent in the Emerson poll.
