The Republican “debates” are useless. They are all authoritarians supporting super conservative polices that would ultimately damage this country, democracy, and the environment. Vote straight Democrat.
The GOP is so dysfunctional, they can’t even hold a debate.
A debate is a forum to challenge and defend ideas, and the GOP doesn’t have very many of those. Their debates are as pointless and as one-dimensional as their party platform.
Ron won’t drop out, Haley won’t drop out, now they won’t have a debate.
How the hell do any of them perceive a clear path forward when it comes to defeating the big D
They realized nobody watches them so why bother
Edit: can’t spell
Aw, I was hoping to see Desantis do a solo debate, mostly because I’m confident that he’d still manage to lose just by debating himself.
ABC should show nothing but Supercuts of hypocrisy from all three of them.
I can see it now, the moderator is sitting there looking at a stage with three monitors, one has DeSantis one has Haley and one has Trump. Then the moderator will ask a question about their stance on a topic and then each monitor will show clips of each candidate talking shit about that in the past.
Well sounded like it’d be Desantis vs nobody lol
What’s Nikki’s strategy here? I’d think any visibility (with or without Trump) is a positive given she still needs to gain a lot of ground to win.
She’s such an idiot. What works for Trump will not work for her.
GOP debates consist of who can yell buzz words like WOKE and SOCIALISM louder. It’s exhausting to watch.
I’m sure a lot of people at ABC are breathing a sigh of relief. I watched five minutes of the last debate and it was five minutes too long.
Why do they have to suck so hard. We need people who will work for the people, not hide behind cowards.
*Nikki Haley cancelled ABC’s planned GOP debate.
Drumpf is harming the party and they STILL refuse to do anything about it 🤣
The debates are free advertising for the GOP
tRump can’t think intelligently off script. It’s the reason he doesn’t debate and just hold a forum with scripted softball questions he can be led to answer. And paint himself as a victim.
No, Nikki Haley did.
Haley is still a long shot, but this may oddly be as good a strategy as she could have. She gets more coverage and DeSantis gets ignored leading into NH where she is polling somewhat close to Trump. If her loss there is narrow or she somehow beats Trump, it will solidify her as the sole opposition candidate leading in to her home state of SC. The path forward is extremely narrow, but it exists.
Debate requires things like facts, ideas and proposed plans being discussed.
Conservatives have only 1 goal; destroy American democracy in its entirety.
Okay now I’ll take a stand about whether to debate trump or not.
Well I call this progress.
Let’s be honest, republicans don’t care about issues
Good because from what I’ve read it was nothing but a clown show. No need to give them a platform to say nothing.
They should hold a debate anyway have an empty podium for Trump put a card board cut out of him there. Then say “okay thanks and now Mr Trump what do you think about xyz oh yeah he isn’t here could be in court”
Haley said she wouldn’t debate unless Trump is there.
Trump won’t debate because of his lead among republicans and because anything he says during a debate would be admissible in any of his ongoing court cases.
There’s no reason to continue the charade that any of the non Trump right wing candidates are actually in it unless/until Trump gets put behind bars or dies.
I’m guessing Vivek will be Pence 2.0?
Trumps a coward.
This is actually a solid strategy by Haley. It mutes DeSantis going in to New Hampshire, and sends a message that she won’t participate in debates until Trump debates. Eventually, Trump will need to debate someone, and once he does, it will legitimize them them as a contender. It’s really her only play right now.
What would that debate? Who loves Trump more?
Pfft, and?… literally nothing lost here, all they ever talk about is what Democrats are doing and how they’re planning to wreck it.
Nimarata Nikki Randhawa Haley said she would not participate in the debate unless Trump and President Joe Biden also participated.
Nimarata Randhawa Haley demands President Joe Biden participate in a Republican primary debate!!
Giving a voice to democracy no longer interests voters.
There is a god.
GOP is not a serious party
So when Trump loses yet again, is the same stupid shit we have to look forward to every four years? Republicans should be embarrassed
I thought they cancelled it because of the participants themselves being imbeciles. If Trump showed up the average IQ of participants would be 40 tops. The new Republican Party appears to be barely able to read.
Oh no we won’t get to see the fuckin dog and pony show
It’s not like they are gonna speak about actual issues.
When will the media start being honest and just say that Donald Trump *cannot* debate because he lacks the ability to think rationally and analytically and it will be a disaster for him.
Two also-rans carefully trying to sound different yet not actually criticizing the front-runner is not a debate.
If you’d have told people just a few years ago that the leading candidate for one of the two major parties would continue to lead the field whipe never participating in a debate or any sort of policy discussion, you’d have been laughed out of the room.
We basically disqualified a former VP from ever running for office because he misspelled “potato.” And another candidate because he excitedly screamed after trying to rally his supporters on to other primaries (Howard Dean.)
Now we have a very real (almost 100%) chance of a candidate indicted under 91 counts who won’t debate, doesn’t talk policy (beyond buzzwords like “border” and “economy” without specifics.) Not to mention openly saying he’d like to be a dictator!
This country can choose between continuing down towards it’s eventual collapse or reelecting a fairly boring guy who happens to be old.
