What a show went on in Miami Beach tonight, at the third GOP presidential primary debate. My Gawd. They’re going to have to really do something amazing to bottom this one. But bottom it I’m sure they will. At the rate the GOP is going, if the convention is held in Hell this summer, it would not surprise me one iota. As a matter of fact, the honesty of such a move would be impressive.
The next debate will be in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on December 6. “Candidates will be required to have a minimum of 80,000 unique donors and to have reached 6 percent in two national polls, or in one national poll and in one poll in one of the four early states,” according to the New York Times.
The previous criteria had been 4 percent in the polls and 70,000 donors, a level that some of the candidates, including Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, had struggled to reach for the November debate in Miami. Mike Pence dropped out, as you know. He was polling 2% to 5% in some polls. Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley are tied for second place, Vivek “Scum” Ramaswamy is in third place, and Tim Scott and Chris Christie trail. Scott should drop out. He doesn’t have a prayer. Christie is in for comic relief but I don’t know how sustainable that is at this point.
Donald Trump can’t be bothered with the trivia of these debates and has demanded that they be canceled by the GOP, “in order to refocus its manpower and money on preventing Democrats’ efforts to steal the 2024 election.”
Trump was not present at the GOP primary debate tonight in Miami. No, he was at a rally in Hialeah — where he was booed, incredible as that seems. Before you see that clip, though, take a look at this one. This is the end of the Miami debate and Vivek “Scum” Ramaswamy is giving hell to and taking hell from somebody.

Isn’t that primo? But you’ve got to hear Vivek’s theory of the Democratic nominee. And no, I don’t know where Tim Scott’s girlfriend is. Probably watching girl on girl porn with Melania and Mike Johnson’s wife.

Now that you’ve seen that travesty wrap, here’s what Trump was doing just a trifle inland and north.
Trump has got the pancake layered on so thick he’s glowing in the dark. And is he saying “Carlos” or “Car-less?” Hey, I’ve got a used car dealer that can set the guy right up.

Nuts as you expected, right? And Hucky Boo Boo is there, too. All star MAGA cast. No cost was spared.

If Hucky Boo Boo is “normal” I am pleased, nay, I am thrilled, to be batshit banana bonkers screaming insane. If she’s normal, I want no part of it. In fact, I want to be as far apart from Hucky Boo Boo’s values as humanly possible.

You’re getting the flavor of this one, too.
Well, it looks like there will be another GOP debate the first week of December — unless the GOP decides to do Trump’s bidding and just crown him. And they might. Who knows? Or, Trump may have another rally on the same night in December. That’s a likelihood.
And then the Iowa caucus will be the next thing on the map. Since Kim Reynolds came out in support of Ron DeSantis, perhaps he’ll have that sewn up. And good for him. I would gently remind the governor that Ted Cruz also had Iowa sewn up in 2016 and that the rest is history.
It’s going to be a long time from now until the end of 2023 and 2024 is going to be the longest year in American history, I’m going to predict that right here and now. I have a feeling that many new year’s predictions will be made along that line but it’s November 8, 2023 and I’m making it right now.
I think that this is a good time for those of us living in a ‘bubble of reality’, it makes it much easier to make accurate forecasts than those inhabiting the other side’s bubbles.
On the basis of reality I predict many more Democratic Party wins.
When do they open the day room? After we line up for meds? Who runs this asylum?
Inmates . At GQP Arkham asylum, of course.
Roseanne is as charming as always. Nice hat. Really. I wonder who she stole (stollen?) it from.
We should be so lucky to have Michelle Obama become our president. She would be phenomenal.
Considering the next campaign starts before an election is even finished, every election year is interminable because we’ve been in it for three years already. This is no way to run an asylum. tRump has been running non-stop since 2015.
