We elected a reality TV star who managed to bankrupt casinos.

It's all relative.

I watched during ads of the other show I was watching. I was impressed most by Chuck Todd. He should be a nightly news anchor somewhere.

He just needs to accept the fact that he is bald. His comb down looks worse every day.

Warren wants to abolish company health care, she is done.

Chuck Todd should be hosting the Gong Show.
He has about as much ability as Chuck Barris.
But not quite as much.

I missed a bit of the shenanigans, but I do not recall one question about the deficit or debt. It seems that both sides have given up on this at this point in time. Lame.

For the 5 minutes I watched, they all made me laugh out loud at one point or another.

I was surprised though, how many sounded like Trump with the "I will fight for you" blah blah blah...they certainly have adapted at least a SMIDGEN of his winning formula from 2016, which was shocking to see.

Klobuchar seemed the most sincere to me, which isn't saying much among that crew. Most seemed either nervous or entirely untrustworthy to me.

Never mentioned Biden's name not once....Guess he's not the front-runner?..

[lamboguy]

against the right candidate, Trump shouldn't be able to win Texas. these candidates were all awful and Trump will smoke any of them. maybe tonight will be different, but i doubt it.

[Lemon Drop Husker]

Will the 2nd debates be strictly televised on Univision and Telemundo?

I know to the people who spend most of their day either playing video games or losing debates on social media sites such as PA OT General they simply cannot comprehend the magnitude of successes that is The Donald, Trump.

Once more ...

1--Donald Trump starred in the No. 1 rated show for 15 years and the No. 1 profit generating property for General Electric in his 'reality' show that only fools and failures love to denigrate.

2--Only the failures and critics of Trump downplay his business and personal successes such as the Trump Organization which has a presence in two dozen countries world-wide.

3--Numerous best selling books including possibly the No. 1 selling business book of all time, The Art of the Deal.

4--In his first real attempt at elective office Trump won the GOP nomination despite battling the establishment from Day One; won the U.S. Presidency over a supposed unbeatable Democrat.

Only chronic failures prefer to ignore Trump's successes while also staining their diapers babbling about his failures, such as bankrupting a casino.

Trump saw the writing on the wall when both the Pennsylvania and New York state legislatures passed laws to allow forms of casino gambling in their states.

I live in the general area. Even during the height of the AC casino boom it always seemed that most of the players were drive-in visitors from Philadelphia and NYC. Blame belongs more to those two states than Trump for AC hitting the skids. (It has come back some in more recent years, truth be known.)

Trump saw this risk ahead of the others and closed shop; the others didn't or couldn't do anything about this huge change in the business model.

So Beto and Booker are being criticized (rightfully) for pandering to the Hispanic vote with their mangled 8th grade level Spanish speaking skills, with many on the left lambasting them for doing so in the presence of an "authentic" Hispanic, one Señor Julián Castro

Oops, seems Señor Castro is not so authentic himself . . . this is hilarious:

Paradoxically, Julián Castro’s appeal to fellow Hispanic voters may be limited by his own assimilation. Although he pronounces his name “HOO-lee-un,” he doesn’t really speak Spanish — a fact he isn’t eager to advertise. La Raza put a high premium on the mother tongue, but Rosie Castro spoke English to her sons, and Julián studied Latin and Japanese in school, while Joaquín studied Latin and German. A lack of Spanish fluency isn’t unusual in San Antonio, especially among Castro’s generation, but in the immigrant barrios of Houston and the colonias south of Interstate 10 down to the border, Spanish is the first and often only language. A Mexican-American with statewide political aspirations needs to be able to do more than pronounce his name correctly. Early in his administration, Castro assigned his chief of staff, Robbie Greenblum — a Jewish lawyer from the border town of Laredo whose own Spanish is impeccable — to discreetly find him a tutor. Rosie Castro’s son is now being taught Spanish by a woman named Marta Bronstein. Greenblum met her in shul.
