Who wants to watch a bunch of mentally ill psychopaths talk over each other? I sure don’t.
Wasn't Jersey shore insanely popular?
Not the tryouts for it.
They were running their mouths not trying to run the country.
It showed that America, if it is going to keep its greatness, is in desperate need of new politicians or a new generation of politicians. All these people on the debate stage have no clue how hard it is out there right now or what people stree going through. Desperate people need help, solutions, and answers. These debaters/ Republicans aren't it.
To the most of the world, they are "mentally ill psychopaths", but to their rabid supporters, they can do no wrong. They will still watch them, cheer them on, and support them and vote for them...
That’s the thing, though. They don’t actually have rabid supporters. Trump does, and they want his supporters to support them.
That’s why no one is interested in watching their debates. The people who actually care about debates aren’t interested in their nonsense, and the ones whose vote they are courting are just waiting for Trump to give them the Go signal.
Yup I've looked at conservative spaces online and it's all still Trump Trump Trump! I was honestly pretty surprised that they don't want to try anyone else considering how much everyone else hates Trump but that's just how out of touch they are I guess.
In their eyes, that's one of his best features. The Republican party's singular common goal these days is to be as contrarian as possible, and the angrier everyone else is with them, the better they figure they're doing.
For a significant portion of them, I think everyone else hating him is a feature
They like him BECAUSE everyone else hates him
Clearly not that many of them.
