#Republicans #Debate #Trump
I don't understand why the moderators don't just get a mute button?
Seriously lol 😂
Because they want this, so it gets replayed over and over
U would think! 😂
That would be too civil.
FOX sell ads with this behaviour.
Minions love conflict TV. Just look at TV programming. Mindless arguing for the simple sheep.
this debate was like watching a classroom full of screaming kindergarteners
Kindergarteners have more self control.
@@scz798 Fax💯🗣
That’s the standard that was set by Republicans.
Especially kindergarteners led by an incompetent teacher as the moderators of this debate.
Irrelevant but the dems are even worse 😂
Notice how they all went after Vivek, it’s like he’s living rent free in their head. That’s says a lot about all of them.
Sounded like a bunch of kids arguing in the school cafeteria, waiting to see who starts throwing food.
They should charge a $500 fine everytime you rudely interrupt another candidate.
You might need to add at least 2 more zeroes to that number for it to have any effect.
Just only have one mic on at a time. Simple and easy.
@@AE-bm4nonew and clever idea 😮
Add a couple 0s to that first of all, these dudes are mega rich, and secondly nothing they say is worth it's weight in salt anyways. Theyre career liars.
That's why Trump didn't show. He wouldn't pay it.
I think the moderator was too busy eating a popcorn to moderate. Lol.
One popcorn?
Moderator obviously due to connection, was able to sit at the table.
Didn’t have a clue.
So they failed in their job you mean??
I care for none of them. Same old circus since 2008.
politicians are strange when your a stranger faces look ugly when your alone, DC seems wicked when your unwanted streets are uneven when your down. But none of them care. Stupidity of racing to see who's gonna control the people or let the people make the decisions NOT WEF...
Problem with presidential primary debates is moderators pick and choose to either prop up a candidate or seek confrontation between the leaders rather than giving equal time to all on the same questions. Debates absolutely need to have an automatic microphone cut off when time is up.
It's funny how Vivek is the youngest one here, but the most mature.
its not a debate. its about who can scream louder. the moderators did a poor job
Yes.very correct
I think if you interrupt and talk over another candidate and do not stop after being called down, you should get a mark, and if you get enough marks, you are disqualified and removed from the debate. I don't see how anything is accomplished when two or more people are jabbering at the same time trying to out-talk each other.
America, we have a problem.
Excuse me! This is a friggin GQP debate OK!
This is how we dooze it! 😂
This is just entertainment at this point. I watch the republican debates because because they are funny. They don’t care to fix this. If they wanted to stop this they could literally just mute everyone if it is not their turn to talk. But they won’t.
i Agree 50000%
Poor moderation.
They were arguing and fighting, not debating.
Same as MAGAT every "debate".
Yeah at least Republican's are up there. Where the Democrats? Oh yeah! They said they are not debating this year right? Such lovely communist they are! They already picked someone for you foolish democrats but enjoy your crime ridden cities
That's all they do when they do get positions of power as we have seen.. Republicans as a whole should not have any power for at least a few elections
They're all trying to be trump. They'd have a better chance if they behaved with dignity.
these "seasoned" Republicans do not respect Vivek. Hes strong, and smart.
Viv ? Do you know anything about him? His drugs? Why would a millionaire take a Soros scholarship? Really!
The sad state of the nation we are living through was brought about by seasoned politicians. We need a bright, young outsider, someone with the qualities of Thomas Jefferson.
Vivek won another one! Even if they tried to interupt everything he said.
He actually lost this one. He’s a pathetic pos anyway
The more he talks the dumber everybody gets. Especially if you believe his garbage
All I saw was moderators not moderating.... what a sham
FOX selling ads.
Kinda hard to moderate a clown show
Actually... This is an advantage. Showcasing how stupid they all are
It literally hurts my head so much to listen to this how is this even considered a "debate"... its a yell off.
The only person who didn’t bold face lie to everyone’s face was Vivek.
Why don’t they let Vivek speak ? Because they are afraid of it
Because he's a Patel
It's clear Vivek is the main target of everyone from this debate, I think they sense he is winning ground with the people, and they pounce any chance they get. I can tell Vivek lives rent free inside Nikki's head.
ok statist, keep voting your rights away
Well, at least he ain't a Patel. But I bet he's married to one.
But he is not. We know
@@robinblocker9892 well, is he married to a Patel in law?
Well yeah. He's an outsider, not a career politician, and he doesn't need the money. Neither party wants that and they'll do their worst to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Is this how grown-ups behave?🤦🏾♂️
Yes
I think Trump proved that it is about entertainment, not about following rules. XD
No…..it’s a cage fight.
No, but this is how Republicans behave
Yes but mostly republicans
Notice how eager everyone was to shut Vivek up
I wish Vivek would stop talking with his hand ✋ especially when he points that finger up - it always makes me think of trump of what he said to Rubio in 2016 republican debate 😊
Crispy Creme Christie really thought that Donald Duck line was gonna hit a lot harder 😂
Christie can go jump in a lake
He was talking about Donald Duck orange juice, good fer washing down all those tasty baked items. You'd think he'd slim down for the election, but no, not him.
That's my new nice name for him...D.Duck
@@aprilgoffinet3159so you have 😂TDS bless your heart we’ll pray for you.
Right 🤣😂🤣
What a ridiculous way to conduct a debate
Look what they have to work with!
Democrats evidently don’t have anyone better than Joe. That’s even more ridiculous to me.
Republicans, eh.
It's totally ridiculous and nothing gets accomplished
It’s the only way with republicans- but if trump was there trump would be the only one talking- the only think you would hear from the other candidates is hello mr president do we kiss your hand or your (small) a$$ 😂
Isn't it part of the moderators job to step in and stop the so called (debate)? They should have just shut down the entire thing
If was the owner of a circus I won’t hire none of these clowns 😂😂😂
If the people who host these debates had four ounces of intelligence, they' have an audio guy control the mics; cut them off when the candidates go over time and go over each other.
I think they want this to happen for some strange reason.
Perhaps....it does make things more "dramatic." @@jakehunter7181
Even though Trump was not in these two debates, he was very much present by the performance of these candidates.
True!
✅✅✅
Ding Ding!
Kennedy is rolling in his grave about the dem party
Cameras in the microwave?
This is no longer a debate 😂
We already know what Trump thinks and believes. He doesn’t have to stand with a bunch of arguing wannabes
But Trump may wind up in jail or disqualified from running because he is a traitor to the United States. So these debaters may become very relevant. I know, it's very scary.
If he is running for President, then he should be there!
Why do the others have to take the heat?
This is Donald Trump's way of backing out?
But yet he's still taking in campaign money 💰.
He is using that money 💰 to pay his legal fees.
If he can't be on that stage, he should end his run.
Not right he is taking in millions of dollars in campaign money 💰 but not up there to answer questions.
Trump couldn't stand Pence
from the Getgo because of
his Religious affiliation. Why
he turned on him - calling for
his lynching. Yet, RR "Believe"
in Trump! :-))
You're definitely not the brightest crayon in the box.
The only wanna be lost to the worst Democratic Candidate possible lol
I didn’t know the circus was in town! Darn, I shoulda went.
well you fund the circus with your tax money in dc
Don't worry, sleepy will fall on his face again soon enough. Hopefully you won't miss it.
They should have all gotten out of a tiny car blowing squeeze horns and confetti shooting toy guns!
Well, that escalated quickly😂
The slim pickings of candidates is really disheartening 😢
Slim pickings? What are you talking about? There are too many candidates. A new format is called for. Probably two candidates at a time covering only topics au courant, the loser being replaced by a third candidate until all but one have been eliminated.
Wow ! Why were they not allowing Vivek to put across his point? He has the most original ideas , yes contemporary, but at least he is trying to bring new ideas to the ground. I am concerned to see that such things are allowed on stage, especially speaking over another which is the worst thing.
What do you expect from republicans- some are hopeful to make extra money for their pockets during their presidency for their retirement once he eliminated social security - so talking the loudest so people can hear and see him
Totally agree.
Because they are afraid. The country claims its tired of unintelligible, old, career politicians until answer to that issue actually arrives. They claim he is too intelligent, he speaks too well, he is too young, must be a plant 🤣 we literally live in a country where being elite in an individual level is frowned upon, that's where our bar is at now.
Yeah
imagine having any of these people in the white house......lol
this applies more to Trump and Biden lol
These people can't even be civil to one another. Do you really want to put one of them in a room full of world leaders
Our current world leaders aren't civil to the people they rule over.
Any of them would be better than Biden. At least they would be awake and coherent.
@@jacoberinche's so asleep that people at the UN actually listen and applaud him...but hey it wasn't the world laughing at Trump right?
@@danieldipalma704You mean laugh and applaud at that clown’s performances?
@@danieldipalma704 its sad that world ( read politians from other countries ) applauding Joe is seen as testament of good leader.
I bet you Xi and germany will give Joe head at the UN too
I appreciated Vivek's debate strategy. While some have criticized him for targeting his opponents in the past, it's noteworthy that he's now advocating for a more constructive approach, encouraging his fellow debaters not to engage in personal attacks, as he believes it doesn't contribute positively to the discourse. The change in demeanor, along with the restraint he displayed when facing criticism, demonstrates his ability to adapt and evolve. It showcases his commitment to uniting all parties involved, ultimately serving as a model for uniting the people of the country.
VIVEK/AMERICAN UNITY.. 2024!
Yes.its true
They were crabs in a bucket pulling each other down, but Trump was the one eating the crabs LOL
Trump is the most popular at parties without even being there!
He knows how stupid the right wing voters are
the party is thrown because of trump. that's the type of effect he has.
So, let's put him in jail. He could go on and be popular there
@@martinhumble Trump's crimes are trivial compared to the crimes of the current President. Using your political power to incite fear for monetary gain would definitely outweigh mishandling classified documents. Not to mention one is grossly immoral while the other is simply inconsiderate.
@@martinhumble jo biden put to jail

Watching is not so bad, it's _listening_ that will drive you mad...

Duh.....so what are you doing here then.
Bro... Trump doesnt show up, gives them(candidates) the spotlight to change our minds in some way and yet all they can do is talk about Trump and reminding us on why we are still voting for Trump
Wow😂
Not a single clip of Doug Burgum. Im pretty sure he was there 😂
I listened to all his sensible answers. He did a good job but the snobs from large states resent him and choose to ignore him.
Why is Scott barking at Vivek and not allowing him to talk? Scott adds nothing steeling Vivek’s family agenda, he should withdraw from the race.
What family agenda?
@@vugbeshbara1103LoL exactly, Vivek has no actual viable policies and no sane person would vote for him, Trump or any of those 🤡 clowns.
Look at how Vivek got rich, dude is a slimeball
@@GurpreetSingh-dj9en Went to Harward, started company , sold it made money. Last time I checked we did not apologize for making money legally in US
@@vugbeshbara1103 that having two parents and focus on education is essential for success in life
Seriously, mute the mics. Give each candidate a set number of minutes to turn on their mic but once they're out of time, their mic is off for the rest of the debate. Then let's see who will waste their minutes talking over each other. It's like the hosts for the debate WANT the circus...
No this is good entertainment people are going trough high cost of living they need some laughter in their live especially it’s all original material 😂
I agree 100%
Yes! Disgusting they should be held accountable for their rude behavior
Did we learn anything from this debate?? I know I didn’t!😳🙄😤
I did. Your system doesn't work. The GOP doesn't work
@@martinhumble wow we got a genius over here. 21% inflation this administration has been a valuable learning tool
You obviously had the refrigerator door open when Vivek talked about the greatest internal threat to the United States, namely, the issue of mental illness. The moderators, all incompetents, failed to follow through on this most important national weakness. All the other candidates are unaware of this threat or do not care to be bothered with this sure-to-destroy national malady. Shame on all of them for failing to lend support to the smartest person on the stage, Vivek Ramaswamy.
@@gkrein Faith in God is a personal issue. Bragging about the depth of one's faith is condemned in the Bible. Let the life you need display the seriousness of your faith.
This obviously shows that they wouldn't even know how to govern they don't even have enough respect to let one person talk
vivek was overly courteous he let that black dude walk on him
Ramaswamy is wasting his money and time. No republican is voting for an Indian primary candidate. And not many more national voters are either.
We do.. we are voting for Ramaswamy
Even for an unqualified candidate, he's pathetic. He didn't even vote in the 2008, 2012 or 2016 elections. He's not fit to lick the boots of the other candidates.
But RISK must be taken in any field to grow ..(10th Standard book )
Thats why Vivek is taking risk ...
He is applying his wisdom as his Name Meaning !
Look at them they are very aggressive you won't be able to tell them anything when they're in office
“You know who else is missing in action?” You Ron DeSantis from Florida as the current Governor.
What are you talking about? Florida is doing great under DeSantis leadership.
"Thank you for speaking when I'm interrupting"? Did he really say what I heard?
yeah but you missed the part right after where he corrected himself, it happened to me before when speaking as well and it's quite common among normally functioning humans. I wouldn't hold that against anyone
Yes, you really heard what you said.
Yes but he doesn’t write his own material.
They have to make sure Ramaswamy is cut out because he is seen as too dangerous since his policies go against the establishment.
Bruh. He is one of them. He's a silver spoon elite. Hes always in that club. Have you even researched this clown? I suggest starting with his education and check when he asked Al Sharpton a question. Says all you need.

“From one Reagan admirer to another.” Lol Reagan would turn over in his grave over what today’s Republican Party has become.
Joseph Stalin would be incredibly proud of what the Democrat Party has become
Reagan doesn't acknowledge "black" Republicans
Reagan would be a neoliberal democrat compared to the modern repub party 😂
Ronald Reagan's trickle down economics and racist views set up what this country has become and the current disparities we suffer from---the ever widening gap between the rich and the rest and the hatred between parties. Now 50 % want a fascist dictator instead of a president, a king to replace Jesus, a get rich quick by means of the myths of side hustles and the lottery, an ignorant, uneducated, uncouth barbarian mobster led hoard in place of citizens to be this United States---white---United States. Thank you Ronald Reagan. Go MAGA!
I don’t know I think there’s still some of that same Republican ideology today that there was back then. It’s just unfortunately divided into 2 different parties almost trumps cult and traditional republican conservatives
They need to mute the microphones
None has latched onto the issue of online scammings as something to put his or her political weight behind.
When somebody does it's going to make a lot of voters come out of the woodworks to talk about the losses they have suffered.
They need to cut candidate's mics either that or if interrupting another candidate you get a warning - 2nd time you get in the penalty box for 5 minutes. I wanted to hear the answer to the allegations against Ramaswamy.
Message to Tim Scott, DeSantis and any other candidate who accepts PAC money, you have to answer to the PAC if you don't you risk losing funding for for your campaign. Maybe your policies align with the PAC but how am I to know.
Loved to see republicant politicians debate soo competitively just for winning the 2nd place of people's favor. 😂
So true, sometimes this is the only time when they come out and point out the lies each said to the American people
This, as with most if not all debates, resembles more of a free-for-all. Also, they’re all about the attack and really don’t present anything of substance that would really make them worthy of being a president.
2nd place today , 1st place 4 years from now
Doesn't matter which party they all do this. Unfortunately the people wont vote for s nice easy going type
When trump get in the debate, they’re all going to obey
Of course- otherwise he will tell the proud boys to standby

The key to good debating skills is consistently speaking over everyone else.
None of these people are qualified. But Republicans should not be allowed power for a few years
