How The Hell Are These GOP Candidates Going To Survive A REAL Debate?

While watching this past week’s Republican debate, there was one thought that most likely racked your brain the entire time: where the hell are the difficult questions? After the Fox Business moderators decided to give the candidates a break by lobbing softball questions, you have to wonder how any of these candidates are going to fare once they enter a real Presidential debate.

Ring of Fire’s Sam Seder and Farron Cousins discuss this.

sort of precedent, so far, do we have to believe that there will be anything but softball questions ever? Maybe there's a plan to ask Democratic nominees some hard questions, but why would we expect any Republican to have to answer them?

This is such a bullshit dog and pony show. Window dressing so most people don't have any idea how far down the shit hole this country has fallen.
