Watching last night’s second Republican Presidential debate on the Fox Business Channel was a pure exercise in futility, as it clearly was a pitiful scene of candidates talking over each other and ignoring the moderators.
Chris Christie called Donald Trump “Donald Duck”, for refusing to participate, one of the rare funny moments.
Watching Vivek Ramaswamy and Ron DeSantis was difficult, as both continued to come across as arrogant, nasty, unpleasant personalities, and both oriented toward Fascism, with DeSantis claiming he would do so much on “Day One”! π
Tim Scott was really weak and ineffective, and Mike Pence’s highlight moment was stating he has slept with the same woman, his wife, for 38 years, a cringy moment from a candidate who is truly someone who showed no courage or principle under Donald Trump, except after former Vice President Dan Quayle, of all people, told Pence that all he had to do was count the electoral votes on January 6, 2021! π
Doug Burgum was more aggressive, but has zero chance of moving forward, while Nikki Haley stood out mostly for showing more intelligence and personality than any of the men, but to believe she will be the Republican Presidential nominee requires a sense of delusion!
Clearly, the Republican Party of Lincoln, TR, Ike, and Reagan is dead!
Good Morning Professor.
The “MAGAlical Maniacs” are really pushing their Clown Car over the cliff. When “Insanity” is substituted for “Governance,” many have to realize “enough is enough.”

Glad someone else watched it so I didn’t have to.
HAHA, Princess Leia, you gave me a laugh, lol! π
Grades of the candidates. Most of them got either a D or an F.

CNN talked with some Iowa and New Hampshire voters. One of them brought up a good point. Without Trump there, what is the goal of this panel of candidates?
I would say that they are auditioning for Trump’s cabinet or his VP.
