'You're just scum': GOP candidate attacks get personal during debate

(6,253 posts)Swampy was doing his best Trump impersonation by attacking Nikki Haley's daughter, and she took offense.

Ramasweaty's idea of the "American dream."
KS Toronado
(17,457 posts)Biden would win with over 70% of the votes.

(21,714 posts)But then, he's got another problem with the GOP base:
He's effeminate - especially when he has his hissy fits (which is often).
Very unlike the Germanic Alpha-male image Republicans are usually looking for.
(which is also why deSaster couldn't get any traction)

(16,641 posts)He's also brown and a Hindu. He'd have trouble gaining any traction with the Republican base no matter what else he was bringing to the table.
P.S. Nikki Haley was right. I didn't watch the debate, but I saw a clip of that exchange and was like, "You go, girl!" I'm not a Nikki Haley fan, but he was being exceptionally obnoxious, even for him. I honestly wouldn't have blamed her if she'd decked him!
They don't want a president - as much as a Thor.
Even if not quite in that kind of shape...

(2,511 posts)"Since Ronna McDaniel took over as chairwoman of the RNC in 2017, we have lost 2018, 2020, 2022, [the] red wave that never came. We got trounced last night in 2023," Ramaswamy said. "And I think that we have to have accountability in our party. For that matter, Ronna, if you want to come on stage tonight, you want to look the GOP voters in the eye and tell them you resign, I will yield my time to you."
followed by:
Do you want a leader from a different generation [who] is going to put this country first, or do you want Dick Cheney in three-inch heels onstage? Ramaswamy said. In which case, weve got two of them onstage tonight.
I mean, I laughed out loud at the last one. Basically destroyed Desantis and Haley in one statement.

(82,849 posts)Republicans ignored Jindal then, they'll ignore Ramaswamy now.

(45,637 posts)but the biggest scum of all is the orange POS who isn't bothered to debate any of them. He knows he's winning the GOP nomination because his supporters are very loud and very deplorable. They love scum.

(22,681 posts)They went after her for any minuscule thing the media would nibble on. Calling a presidential candidate scum would blow their heads off. It would be wall to wall coverage on repeat from here until the end of time!
What a double standard!!!
