Live Thread: GOP Debate
« on: August 23, 2023, 01:53:19 pm »
The Republican National Committee's first debate for the 2024 election is quickly approaching, with eight contenders ready to pitch themselves and their policies.

The debate will be held in Milwaukee tonight at 9.

Tuning into the debate

The debate, which is set to last two hours, is set to begin at 9 p.m.

Despite some previous debates being aired on multiple channels, the first RNC debate will air exclusively on Fox News and Fox Business Network and be moderated by hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.

Rumble, a video-sharing platform, will livestream the debate.

Where is the debate being held?

Candidates will be on the stage in Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee in a battleground state that will also host the Republican National Convention next year.

Former President Donald Trump lost Wisconsin in 2020 but won narrowly in 2016. It is likely to be a key deciding factor in the 2024 election, as well.

Which candidates are attending?

Eight candidates have qualified to attend the debate: Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND), former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, former Vice President Mike Pence, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC).

Trump confirmed on Sunday that he would not be attending the debate, citing his high polling numbers.

 North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum injured playing basketball, debate attendance thrown into question

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum was hospitalized in Milwaukee on Tuesday after suffering an injury while playing a game of pick-up basketball with his staff, Fox News has learned.

His attendance at Wednesday night's Republican presidential debate on Fox News is now in question. Burgum's campaign told Fox News Digital it is "unclear if he will be able to stand at the debate."

Burgum is now out of the hospital, the campaign said.

Burgum is a dark horse in the race, lacking the name recognition that other candidates enjoy. He qualified for the debate by earning 3% support in the Fox Iowa poll, but has otherwise remained a relatively obscure figure in national politics.

Wednesday night's debate is an opportunity for Burgum to grab more attention from GOP primary voters. The billionaire software entrepreneur has poured more than $10 million into the race from his own bank account, and spent $8 million in the last quarter alone.

Up to $760,000 of that spend went to donors who accepted his offer to send a $20 gift card to any $1+ donor, a ploy that saw him reach the fundraising threshold for the first debate in record time this cycle.

Fox News' Paul Steinhauser and Rémy Numa contributed to this report.

This photo made my day!

However, there isn't one challenger that I would trust for VP.

Every one of them would be like Pence and their aids would be like Pence's, sabotaging Trump every chance they got.

We could only hope!

Trump evaluates people based on how much they kiss his big white butt. So, if someone does that enough, they'll rocket to the top of his VP list.   And then hopefully turn on the guy once he's in office.

Trump PAC Launches Website For Supporters To Vote For Their 'Favorite VP’ Ahead Of GOP Debate
DC Enquirer, Aug 22, 2023

On Tuesday, leading 2024 presidential candidate and 45th President Donald Trump’s super PAC, “Make America Great Again Inc.”, launched a new website for supporters to vote for their favorite Republican candidate that could be Trump’s vice president ahead of the Fox News Republican primary debate, which Trump isn’t attending.

The website, titled “Battle for the Vice Presidency,” features all of the GOP candidates currently qualified for the debate stage.

“Vote for your prediction to win the VP Debate on August 22nd. Then come back after the debate to vote on who really won,” the website’s description reads.

The website is reportedly banned from working on Fox computers.

Tucker: “Whatever you think of Trump, he is the indisputable far and away frontrunner in the Republican race. So when Trump approached us about having a conversation for a larger audience than he’d receive on cable news, we happily accepted.” (Video)

@SteveDeaceShow

This is in Politico Playbook this morning. Trump campaign meeting with corporate media who hates us all, but they’re conspiring together to destroy @RonDeSantis. The same media that tried to impeach Trump and is trying to put him in prison now, nevertheless toasting his campaign. All the same people the Trump campaign is schmoozing now will of course go all in to defeat him in the general.

From a Little Birdie who was there at the same restaurant and witnessed it firsthand:

“Not a single conservative media outlet was there. All corporate and left-wing media. On the one hand, it is noteworthy the Trump campaign felt the need to travel the length of the country for a debate their candidate supposedly doesn’t think is worth his time. But to actually see these two supposed mortal enemies yucking it up, to see the liberal media completely in bed with the Trump campaign like that, it was surreal.”

That's rather presumptuous.  I think Trump has already lost -- not debating is a huge mistake.

Tucker interviewing him during the GOP debate is also a huge mistake.
