What a miserable state republican party is in. Front runner doesn’t even acknowledge these “debates” and yet everyone in the room has a singular goal - out-Nazi the Nazi.

Haley and Christie are bad but survivable. I usually try to keep my claims measured, but Desantis and Ramaswamy are every bit as fascist as Trump. I would genuinely fear for the country under the last three.

Christie became a GOP darling in 2009 by torpedoing a major building project that Dem and GOP Governors had been working for for decades. He probably hates the average voter worse than Trump.

Used to live in NJ, he was also despised by his fellow GOP for welcoming Obama with a handshake after we got fucked up by Sandy.

He definitely hates the common people because he knows the common person hates him.

The stupidest timeline.

Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter despised each other, but when it was time to open the Carter Library Carter welcomed the sitting President, and Reagan gave Carter a great speech. No one thought they'd changed their minds about each other, but everyone applauded the show of unity.

The current crop of GOPs make Reagan look god the way Charles Manson makes Al Capone look good.
