There was a televised GOP Presidential debate?!?!

Did you know that on November 8th was the third televised debate for the Republicans?

Has the debate stage lost its luster because Donald Trump refuses to get on the stage because he is so far ahead in the polls?

Axios had viewership for the debate at 7.5 million people, an extremely low number for the future of the Republican party.

When can we expect to see Trump on the debate stage? Will it be after the primaries and when its down to the finals between Republican and Democrat? 

Let's talk about it.

    I watched the debate, but if fell flat. The coverage was...Meh. It certainly was not advertised enough, even I had to search to find it unlike previous debates. It will be interesting to see how the 4th debate on December 6th, 2023 fares. Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly and cohost Elizabeth Vargas will host the debate on NewsNation which, according to Allsides.com and Ground.News is rated as a center and center-left news platform. Maybe it is because of Megyn Kelly's previous relationship with Fox News, I falsely assumed this would be a right-leaning platform. As to your other question, I'm not sure when we will see him on a debate state, if at all. He seems to be quite content using media, rallies, and even the legal system as his platform. It would be nice, as a courtesy to the voters of this country, if he willing participate on a substantive level in a debate. We may be waiting a while...

    I'm not sure we'll see him on another debate stage- it seems entirely possible that a Trump nomination will solidify a Democrat win for 2024. He has the option of blaming a loss on not 'trying' or not having the same airtime as other candidates, I personally think his mental deterioration makes it impossible for him to compete in a debate where he doesn't have memorized stump talking points. He would have to rely on mental acuity to spar back and forth organically, his mental decline just won't let him.

Welcome Mr. Speaker

  There is finally a new Speaker of the House, Congressman Mike Johnson of Louisiana. It took the Republican party 22 days to get the speaker the gavel. What I learned is that there can be no business done during the time of a Speaker vacancy, a lot happened in 22 days and a lot more could have happened.  Perhaps there should be an amendment that there is someone that can run the House in a vacancy until one is voted in. Let's talk about it. https://www.house.gov/feature-stories/2023-10-25-new-speaker-of-the-house

Thank you, farewell and let’s keep talking about it

 Thank you everyone for the time you have taken out of your days to come reflect and maybe ask yourself some thought provoking questions about how this whole political system works.  It’s been a pleasure sharing some of my thoughts with you and getting your feedback.  What a fast semester we had though.  Let’s talk about it.

Is a Biden impeachment on its way?

CNN is reporting that the White House has sent a letter to news executives urging them to 'ramp up' scrutiny of Republican's Biden impeachment inquiry 'based on lies' What does that even mean?  It seems as though the White House, Democrats, CNN and other news organizations believe that the GOP is on a witch hunt, some is lying and there is no evidence of any high crimes or misdemeanors that President Biden has committed.  Fox News had a similar response when then Pres. Trump was being impeached.  Which leaves the question, has the impeachment process been politicized and will be used by the party in control of the House of Representatives now? Will we see an impeachment every four years if the President is a different party than the majority? This is a slippery slope and Americans should be worried.   Let's talk about it.
