GOP Presidential debate Open Thread. Update!

First off I want to bitch a little about the fact that I have to watch freaking Fox News in order to cover this debate.

I try very hard never to watch that shitty cable network unless you-know-who makes an appearance or I hear that one of the anchors in on the verge of a nervous breakdown. (I'm looking at you Glenn Beck.)

However, like it or not, Fox has the biggest political side show going right now, and no serious political pundit, blogger, or commentator would dare to miss it.

Personally I am hoping for some real fireworks tonight.

For instance maybe Donald Trump will demand to see Ben Carson's birth certificate, or Jeb Bush will call Trump an asshole again, or maybe Rand Pail will start quoting Alex Jones conspiracy theories right on the air.

Damn now THAT would be entertaining.

But we probably won't get that lucky. (We certainly didn't during the "Kid's Table" debate earlier today.)

Oh well, here I sit full of hope with my popcorn, my box of wine, and my fingers all limbered up.

And I can already smell the elephant shit so let's trot these clowns out and get this three ring started!

Update: Ideas for questions to be asked during the debate courtesy of Raw Story.

My favorite?

"Are you the father of Bristol Palin's baby?"

Hey, it's worth a shot.

Update 2: Okay well so far the take away from this debate is that Donald Trump does not like to debate.

The arrogant prick actually threatened Megyn Kelly for asking him about his attitude toward women, and then he went all off like a toddler on Chris Wallace for asking him about a bullshit claim he made about border security.

Update 3: The Washington Post has a running transcript here.

    Carly got 83% favorability on the debate. Sarah will hate this, another woman getting praise in politics. Sarah never got that much. Watch Sarah slam her now. Donald has no intention of using Sarah to campaign for him, he just wants her followers. She will never been seen campaigning with him.

      Carly Fiorina Has Standout Performance In First GOP Debate

      If Google searches are any indication, Republican presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina won the Republican "happy hour" debate that took place in Cleveland, Ohio, on Thursday.

      A visualization by Google shows Fiorina leading the other six Republicans who took part in the debate:

    Former Vice President Dick Cheney's spirit is apparently as immortal as his earthly vessel.

    At Thursday evening's GOP candidate forum in Cleveland, Cheney's foreign policy vision was very much alive as various presidential hopefuls vowed to re-invade Iraq, send troops to Syria, spy on mosques here in America and get tough with Iran by scrapping President Barack Obama's diplomatic approach.

    I kind of watched the whole shebang, Trump just HAD to toss a dig at Rosie O'Donnel at the onset, a truly palin worthy "WTF Moment". Is Rosie running for office?
    Overall, it accomplished nothing, not one stood out among the rest as "Sponge worthy" let alone "Candidate Material".

    Where's the outreach to disenfranchised voters? Minorities?
    "Inclusion", they all cancelled each other out.

    The best was the end, when they played their violin music about being raised poor, hard work, working class, etc. etc. and NOT one related to the working class's plight. A ship of fools.

      Every time Bristol posts this stuff, I think of Phyllis on the Mary Tyler Moore show talking down to Mary Richards.

      If you've fought those demons, Bristol, you'd quit your stupid Nancy-written blog, stay out of the press, drop the exotica BFF, and raise your bastard kids to be responsible adults.

      Yes, Bristol is self made all right, with Sarah Palin's money and connections to put Bristol on TV and set her up with Nancy French, the blog and book ghost writer. And Donald Trump is self made, too. Look what he made of himself after inheriting great money from his wealthy father. .

    Fox News had a panel on, from the audience. They were asked if they had changed their views on Trump. Many of them before the debate were supporting him, but after tonight, changed their tunes. They didn't like the Trump refused to answer the questions and that he was willing to sabotage the GOP by running as an Independent.

    1. Upset were they that Trump wouldn't play their game?
      That's the appeal of Trump. You can't have it both ways.

      If Trump really wants to be the nominee, he only has to do one thing. Go on television or appear at an event in front of several reporters and call President Obama an uppity _______.

      The republican base will then happily crawl over broken glass to vote for him. Meanwhile, Reince Priebus will be sobbing uncontrollably over losing control of the inmates.

    Digby had a flashback.

    http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/youve-covered-your-ass.html

    "George W. Bush was sitting on his porch at the fake ranch in Crawford when he received a memo entitled "Bin Laden determined to strike inside the United States." It was later reported he told the briefer, "All right. You've covered your ass now." And then he went fishing. "

    Let me know how all this turns out...

    We are all doing exactly what the GOP wants. We are letting their insane candidates control the news. This has gone on every three years for the past dozen years or so. From now on, every newspaper and every news program will lead with which GOP nincompoop is saying what. None of them are worthwhile as potential presidential material but that does not matter; it's all for entertainment and brainwashing.

    Most of us can predict that Jeb Bush will eventually emerge as the "adult" in the room, much as John McCain and Mitt Romney did in years past. In the meantime the GOP's favorite talking points - war and more war, the evils of abortion (ironic that warmongers are so worried about fetuses), the destruction of their recently discovered Christianity (to say nothing about the equally ironic feared loss of their "second amendment rights) by immoral liberals, and finally the need to control minorities and to end immigration - will dominate the political discourse all over the US. Every insane proposition ever brought up by any of these hateful people will be repeated to the point that many voters (especially the Fox News types) will be cowering under their beds. The Democrats, on the other hand, with real proposals for making this country better will be dismissed by the national media as boring and not get any coverage at all.

    In this morning's international edition of the New York Times there are minimally three front page articles about last evening's opening debate among the Klown Kar occupants. I doubt that there is even a sentence among all of those reporters' sentences that describes the insanity rampant among the GOP contenders.

    Sorry for the rant but I think these debates should be banned. It is nothing but hour upon hour of free time for the GOP to distort reality. It's all especially disgusting when you think that major channels won't allow the President of the United States address the nation on important issues. Remember a few months ago. President Obama's speech at American Univ. on the multi,lateral agreement with Iran should have been a speech made to the country on national television and covered by all of the channels and news outlets. But that did not happen and we know why because we know who controls the media.

    1. Many people--who knows how many--like me, did not see the debeats [yes] because we don't have cable. My thought is Fox did this on purpose to minimize the damage. Major political events are not usually restricted to only those who can afford to attend. So far.

    Sarah Palin was at home watching the first 2016 GOP presidential debate and was heartbroken that her new beau didn’t mention her name and her new Trump administration cabinet position.

    Wonkette said Sarah Palin walks down aisles at Home Depot looking for lawn products that have names that might be pretty for Bristol’s latest virgin birth!

    ROFLOL


    Wonkette:
    What The Hell Does Sarah Palin Want Now?

    Does Sarah want to be vice president when Donald Trump becomes “president,” because he already said he wants to tap her, in a government way? Does she want to Maverick her way into the You Betcha spot at the last minute and run for president? (Probably not, presidents don’t usually quit halfway through their terms unless they’ve been caught doing Watergate.) Is she just GRIFTING FOR CASH LIKE SHE ALWAYS DOES, because it beats getting a real job?.... 

    And also, retire from what, exactly? Sarah Palin’s current job, as far as we can tell, is dictating Facebook status updates to an aide while she does her “exercises” or smokes cigarettes on the front porch or looks through the aisles at Home Depot looking for lawn products that have names that might be pretty for Bristol’s latest virgin birth, we don’t fucking know what she does with her spare time, which is ALL OF IT....

    A bunch of Republican idiots talk about how Sarah Palin is the best thing that ever happened to all nations that ever existed. John McCain says Palin was the thing that really sent his campaign over the top, by which he means that space just underneath the Obama-Biden ticket we guess....

    I haven't read thru the comments here, but I just saw an MSN article about Kim K posting a selfie with Hillary on Twitter, "Stealing the GOP Debate thunder".

    Hear that Bristol? Your idol you try to emulate is supporting Clinton for President.
