The first Republican debate was a disappointing disaster—for the candidates and America. Not one of the questions addressed the elephant in the room. In fact, the list of questions selected by Fox News, which likely received enthusiastic approval from the Democrat Party, helped highlight the elephant. Candidates were asked about a viral blue grass song, inflation, Ukraine, China, Israel, and other foreign relations issues, crime, energy, the border, climate change, abortion, and more. But as important as these things are, they pale by comparison to the single most important issue, the one posing the greatest threat to our Republic since the 1850s.

read this and weep: the wreckage ofyears of Dem deconstruction of our America : of the family(welfare,fatherless), of the military(incompetence of Afghanistan and wokeness leading to low morale/pathetic recruitment), of an orderly immigration flow, of our schools (eradiction of critical thinking, indoctrination via crt and forms of gender dysphoria), of flow of freedom of speech (thought police, censorship in media),of parental rights (school board raids, no notification on gender issues), of basis of freedom of religion (especially Catholic masses), undermining system of laws by zero enforcement or defining crime away/zerobail/zeroprosecution, endangering national security with massive illegal invasion/appeasing Iran, China, destroying fiscal responsibility with overspending/govt borrowing, degrading of our flag/our heroes/our history,..... ETC - all these from the unholy alliance of gov't, media, woke corps, Dem party - is there any doubt what their intent is?

Most good Americans want to know much about people who are running for office, but they will tune in to a Dog and Pony Show and complain that all they saw were dogs and ponies.

I couldn’t agree more. Anyone running against Trump is exploiting the dims’ corruption for their own personal gain. It’s not a Trump grudge; it’s that their corruption was worked on him and so he is the embodiment of their corruption; the legion examples of their corruption all involve him. You can’t talk about their corruption without talking about Trump.
Ramaswamy’s pledge to pardon Trump is right in a limited way. Pardon Trump? For having The Great Corruption worked on him? Kind of backwards. But the dims are masters at this and they seek to normalize and forget what they did so they can go further next time.
Or do you think they will quit their corruption of their own accord?

since celebration of 2026 ( 1776 + 250 yrs) is right around the corner, i think a great message, with societal decimation and discouragement all around, is Renewing of America, restoring our institutions and reinstilling our basic values. for that we need the right president.

If you are not brave enough to honestly and forthrightly discuss the theft of the 2020 election and by corollary what you propose to do about 2024, no other issue has any meaning or relevance. The entire debate had an Alice in Wonderland air about it.

All this points to why I don't bother with debates. It's one thing when there are only two candidates, it's quite another when there are so many candidates on stage, that in order to get the group shot, the camera has to pan out. Also, these pre planned questions that are approved ahead of time by everyone involved. The person in the White House has to be able to think on their feet. Knowing ahead of time what type of question one is going to receive doesn't reveal anything except one's ability to remember studied responses.

Glen Beck asked Trump about the future fraud yesterday and I think Trump even dodged an answer.

That stage with the huge DEMOCRACY banner in red was a complete turnoff to me. The Democrats have owned that word and solidified their meaning with communistic actions. We don’t need a Republican version of their interpretation.
The author is right! Their message should been about stopping the corruption & saving the Constitutional Republic.

By all means, let's discuss our dumb dishonest government. They don't govern which means they really aren't a government. They are really a gang of thieves. What we really have is a tyranny. And it's destroying our country.

Martha and Brett asking the questions and leading the direction of the debate? As the old quote goes, "Houston, (America) I think we have a problem." #1 clearly states the "little issues" that were avoided.

I hate to disagree with Hugh Hewitt when he says Bret and Martha are the best debate moderators on TV. They are huge self promoters who just love the sound of their own melodious words going out on the airwaves and they live deeply in the pockets of the Fox suits for their every move. Plus Bret needs to lose 50 pounds—soon he will be larger than Chris Christie.

Don't call that charade a debate because it is not. It is nothing more than a gotcha questions and answers.

Does anyone honestly think the election next year will be different? What will Trump do, if he is our nomiNee and loses again? What are we going to do?

The elephant in the room was that the last election was stolen with bundles of fraudulent registrations turned in by paid operators, with ballots then being mailed off to every name in the registry, and signature validation being arbitrarily suspended.
And six states decided, simultaneously, to stop counting ballots at 11 o'clock, in an obviously coordinated decision.
That is why I will not ever support any of these candidates. They all think it us time to get back to business as usual. None of them are acceptable.
