Social Media Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie said former President Trump will show up to the GOP primary debates because of his ego. The New York Times’s Maureen Dowd interviewed Christie, former governor of New Jersey, for an opinion piece published Saturday. When asked whether he believed Trump would attend the GOP debates after previously saying he may not, Christie affirmed that the former president most likely will. “I think that he’ll show up at the debates because his ego won’t permit him not to,” Christie said. “He can’t have a big TV show that he’s not on.” “He’s on Truth Social going bonkers, and no one’s paying attention? He won’t deal well with that,” the former governor added. Christie has repeatedly reiterated that he has the skills to beat Trump at a debate because he helped him prep for his debates in 2016 and 2020. He has also called on the former president to commit to attending the debate, saying on Friday that he will “shame” Trump into showing up to the debates.

KhunLA Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Entertainment TV at it's worst. As if 2016/20 wasn't embarrassing enough. Trump is correct though, ratings will go through the roof when he's involved. $$$ ... I can see them paying candidates to attend in the future, same as sports figures, whether they were planning on playing/winning or not. Golf is a fine example. Gladiators to the Colosseum ... nothing has changed in couple thousand years. People wonder why the world is in the state that it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would definitely be a sight to see. Big Chris is a sharp cookie, and similar to Trump is rather.... unrestrained... in how he talks. I can see Chris doing a big splash on Trump like a pro wrestler, both of them being taken out in the move. Then Chris can come back to life as a VP or AG pick for another GOP frontrunner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post placeholder Posted July 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2023 Just now, Neeranam said: It certainly wouldn't be Joe, the only president in the entire history of the US, all 250 years, that can't speak for himself, calls Trump 'George', forgets Queen Liz died, calls his granddaughter Beau, falls over sandbags, says repeatedly his son died in Iraq, etc. How many press conferences has he had where he answered questions he never knew were going to be asked, so he could have his string pullers prepare answers? Wow. Another amateur gerontologist. On the one hand, the claim is that Biden suffers from dementia. On the other, apparently he is capable of learning answers in advance to scripted questions. In fact, for his entire political career, Biden has been known for making gaffes. So what the right is claiming is that his behavior is consistent with what he's done his whole life. That's not a sign of dementia. Quite the opposite. 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee I donno seems to do pretty good certainly better than the last guy and he gets meaningful stuff done as well but yup he does gaff from time to time as far as the worst in history did you even listen to the gibberish pumped out by trump? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a real debate with reasonable rules your assumption is probably correct. However if the network hosting it wants Trump to get the ratings up, and Trump insists on rules that allow the loudest buffoon to clam victory, then it will just be a waste of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
