I actually think Trump's going to be on his (relative) best behavior. As long as he doesn't say anything truly insane or, like, eat a live weasel on stage he'll "win" just by hurdling already low expectations.

I'll be really interested in seeing how the rest of the mass debaters approach Trump.

 

[Future Foundation]

At first, I was gonna mention how bad Christie seemed to fall off (in the polls). But at least he gets to eat with the adults - what's going on with Jindal and Perry.

 

[Kaladin]

Or just one more day. Doesn't the debate and his last show occur this Thursday?

Yep.

And it will be recorded either as the first one is happening or before it.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

I'm unreasonably excited for this. Fuck the RNC for making this season so short. Last season was hilarious.

 

[Irobot82]

huh. The republican are a little more diverse than I thought they'd be. Lots of old white guys but I see other race/ethnicity/sex on the list.

 

[gryvan]

all of this plus hosted by Fox News

holy shit too hyped

fuck dota 2 internationals this is way better

 

[Cheebo]

The kids table list which don't exactly count, except for Ben Carson.

 

[ElTorro]

Let me tell you, there are three Republicans that I will dearly miss during the debates: Rick Santorum, Lindsay Graham, and ... uh ... who's the third one again...

 

[vicissitudes]

Better than most TV shows I've seen. This is like some next level reality television.

 

[Oddduck]

The only disappointment is that Rick Perry and Bobby Jindal didn't make the list.

If you are watching these debates for laughs, then those two clowns would have provided some comedy.

 

[Patriotsbball5460]

Looking forward to seeing if Kasich can capitalize on this

 

[mgarnica89]

Trump right before the debate....

 

[Kusagari]

I wish we could sub out Carson, he's not going to say anything interesting, and Kasich for Jindal and Perry.

Would have been an absolutely hilarious 10.

 

[LyleLanley]

I want the audience to vote on a winner for the 5 P.M. debate who then gets to go on the real one.

I guess. Dems have what, old white dude and old white chick?

Without much diversity I don't see the number coming out like Obama could pull.

 

[QuiteWhittle]

Fox News' resident neurosurgeon. Needless to say, pretty bad at his job.

I thought Carson was an incredible surgeon who just so happened to be a batshit theocrat too.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

Ben Carson is on PBS Newshour right now and just said, "...we have to secure all the borders, because it's not just Mexico, or Honduras...it's Jihadists..."

Hahahahaha. What the fuck.

Will get a standing ovation from the people at that crowd, I'm sure.

 

[Nelo Ice]

This is gonna be so good. And man trumpweb is making all these threads even more entertaining.

Also this is how I imagine every GOP candidate is like.

 

[OctoMan]

Carson is like the most batshit of them all.

 

[B-Dubs]

I thought Carson was an incredible surgeon who just so happened to be a batshit theocrat too.

He's a very good brain surgeon, he's an idiot on pretty much everything else though.

 

[Clydefrog]

Oh my god.

Can you imagine Rick Perry jumping on the main stage, guns ablazin' yelling, "Wildcard, bitches!!"

 

[KarmaCow]

The debate is seriously going to happen on Jon Stewart's last day? What a shame, the Daily Show break curse is real.

 

[Sanjuro]

Rick Perry not making the cut is an American travesty.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

My dream scenario for Carson is that he basically behaves like this the entire debate.

 

[Kusagari]

Carson is like the most batshit of them all.

I doubt he's going to get to put it to use in a debate setting. For as hilarious as he was last time around, Cain wasn't that amusing in the debates.

He's mostly going to be asked policy questions he has no clue about and bumble his answers.

 

[legacyzero]

That's ok. Jon will be on the debate stage for the dem debates next to Bernie and Hilary.

BELIEVE

 

[Angry Grimace]

It can't possibly be a good thing for the GOP that Donald Trump is getting this kind of exposure.

 

[Merc_]

Take us away to a magical land, Trump.

 

[Rubenov]

Rick Perry not making the cut is an American travesty.

I thought the pull-ups stunt would pull him over...

 

[Iksenpets]

Oh my god.

Can you imagine Rick Perry jumping on the main stage, guns ablazin' yelling, "Wildcard, bitches!!"

Oh man, I need Rick Perry to brandish a weapon at the debate. Why has no Republican ever tried open-carrying at a debate? His polls would instantly jump to like 8%.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

 

[LyleLanley]

Oh my god.

Can you imagine Rick Perry jumping on the main stage, guns ablazin' yelling, "Wildcard, bitches!!"

This is what we need. None of the other candidates get to know who the winner of the other debate was until he/she is asked their first question.

 

[Struct09]

Why couldn't this happen while Jon Stewart was still on air? Oh well, I hope we at least get a good John Oliver segment covering it.

 

[komplanen]

Any sites to watch this online from outside the US? Can use VPN

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Trump at 23%

TWENTY THREE MOTHER FUCKING PERCENT.

This is how crazy the GOP base is people, he is double the popularity of Jeb.

He's the most bombastic yet the least crazy. He knows what he's doing.

I've often wondered what the protocol is for carrying at Republican events. Like, can you bring a gun to a rally for a Republican candidate, or do they have security to prevent it? I have a hunch, but I don't want to assume.

He used to be the governor of Virginia, back in 2002. He hasn't done shit since.

 

[Siegcram]

Well yeah, but you can't put him in front of a camera without him making an utter fool of himself. The Fox anchors have to rein him in most of the time.

I'm not sure about individual rallies, but there were news stories in 2012 about the hypocritical banning of weapons (including knives and squirt guns) at the 2012 Republican National Convention.

Wow. Seems crazy that they'd make themselves soft targets and put all the Convention Attendees at risk!

 

[ZealousD]

Rick Perry not making the cut is an American travesty.

Oops.

 

[Darksol]

What a miserable lot of cretins.

 

[Empty]

i don't see the purpose of a ten person debate but with that many voices it'll probably just favour the person who can say the most ridiculous things possible as loudly as possible aka the trump train

 

[minor effort]

Come on, swap out a boring rando like Kasich for Rick Perry.

 

[lastplayed]

Do they take turns or is it just a giant shouting match?

Decided to try and kill off a property tax and nearly bankrupted the state in the process- it's still at like 60% of its original amount because the legislature had to halt the cuts.
