I watched last night’s debate for the sheer enjoyment of the circus that has become the Republican party.
It would take a Republican debate every night to get CNN 5 million viewers for anything on that network.
Better drama than anything scripted on tv. Better numbers than a lot of them too.
And how many of the five million were Democrats like me and my friends who tuned in just for laughs?
Agreed, those guys are hilarious, I’m 14, not American so I don’t know everything that is going on but damn that was funny, those guys can deny evolution, vaccination, global warming and people wil cheer… that one guy spend 3/4 saying ad hominem arguments, “he isn’t good enough, I’m the only one that can beat Obama” what a pathetic joke; the other one (the rich one) seems like an ignorant, incompetent cartoon character who has no idea what he’s talking about and changes his mind every day, the old one was funny too in previous debates, he sems to be the only honest one, the others are just comepting in a popularity contest but he has some extreme ideas, like taking the money from the unemployed and legalizing drugs, I guess he wants them to die off from all the drugs they’ll take when they lose their home.
