Ron DeSantis’ policies align with the globalist warmonger known as John McCain. Globalists have America on the brink of war. The Fox News debate will offer no solutions to this dangerous problem. Trump & Tucker will provide answers to preventing World War 3. Watch them instead. pic.twitter.com/vsmtt9liqB

The debate is coming up here tonight.

I might be asleep. I’m not going to do a live thread about it even if I’m awake, and I might not even watch it. I’m not really too excited for Trump’s competing event with Tucker Carlson either (though it will be funny if that gets more views).

But I think it’s correct that DeSantis is going to be a punching bag.

I think – and hope, really – that Vivek is a surrogate for Trump. He has all of the same policies (though as I wrote recently, they are better articulated).

Reuters:

With a commanding lead in the Republican nomination race to take on Democratic President Joe Biden, Trump said this week he would not attend the debate in Milwaukee on Wednesday. Instead, he sat for an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson set to air at the same time, potentially siphoning off debate viewers.

In Trump’s absence, candidates are expected to launch a fusillade of attacks on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, as competitors try to displace him as Trump’s top challenger, according to strategists and aides to rival campaigns. DeSantis is seen as vulnerable after a summer slide in the polls, which have left him languishing more than 30 points behind Trump in the race.

“He’s going to be a punching bag,” said Brian Darling, a Republican strategist and former senior aide to U.S. Senator Rand Paul. “DeSantis is considered a wounded candidate going the wrong way.”

…

The DeSantis campaign is anticipating particularly harsh broadsides from Ramaswamy and Christie, a person close to the governor said. The governor’s aides and allies see the debate as a potentially crucial moment that could help him breathe life back into his campaign.

Like other candidates, DeSantis needs to establish himself “as a good solid alternative to Trump,” said Christopher Wlezien, a professor of government at the University of Texas at Austin who has studied the electoral impact of debates.

Wlezien said he was skeptical that any contender would achieve a breakout moment on Wednesday. Trump has a huge lead in the polls and won’t be on the stage to field any attacks.

“My expectations were low for big changes to begin with and it’s even more so because Trump is not there,” he said.

DeSantis is a slob and a complete mess.

It’s very likely that this debate could be the beginning of his entire program unraveling.

There are Republicans who do not want Trump again, but the competition here is between “Trump” and “Not Trump.”

Trump was against global war, he was against mass immigration, he was racist, he was jingoistic – these are all things that “true conservatives” oppose. They want war, immigration, anti-racism, gays – the entire Democrat platform, just slower.

So the “Not Trump” team has to decide who they want to represent them, and increasingly, it should be becoming obvious to them that DeSantis is not the guy.

Obviously, these “true conservative” people don’t want Vivek, who is just the Trumpier Trump (who also for some reason worships a talking elephant). I think Pence is just too lame, Nimrata Randhawa literally sucked dick to get to the top and gives off the vibes of a low-tier used up old hooker, everyone hates Chris Christie, so…

The obvious “true conservative” candidate is the black guy. I don’t make predictions, because I am not a wizard, but it seems to me very likely that the black guy is going to do the “true conservative” bit really well on the debate stage, while Vivek beats the shit out of DeSantis for being a total fraud.

Trump would rather run against the black guy than DeSantis, because the black guy is literally a joke, so if in fact Vivek is serving as a surrogate for Trump (I mean, what else would he be doing? He’s not going to win, and his whole campaign is about increasing his profile, and the best way to do that would be by helping Trump), he’s going to manipulate the situation into replacing DeSantis as the “Not Trump” frontrunner with the black guy.

Just thinking about all these dynamics now makes me want to watch the debate.

But I probably won’t.

Anyway, it starts at 9 PM EST. If you’re going to watch it, you should watch it on Rumble, and give them the views rather than giving them to Fox News. (Rumble has exclusive internet broadcasting rights.)

I can’t find the link, so it’s probably not up yet, but if you just go to Rumble.com at the time, it will obviously be at the top of the page.

Why do you say that?

— Osher Feldman (@osherfeldman) April 27, 2023

I’m just now learning that Bill Mitchell (an aggressive and ridiculous plastic surgery boomer Trump sychophant Twitter personality) is back and is a DeSantis shill.

I will never forget the day I learned that “@mitchellvii” is “Mitchell 7.” For at least a year, I thought it was “Mitchavelli,” like the Machiavelli of Mitchells, and I will never forget associating that face with thinking up that internet identity, and the joy it brought me.

I guess switching sides to DeSantis is a bit Mitchavellian.

I’ll bet he’ll get paid $1,500,000, when said and done. While he’s got no engagement, he’s got nearly half a million twitter followers still, and I think the people handing out money or DeSantis are taking big cuts, basically being paid commissions on passing out cash.

It’s looking a bit sloppy.

New York Post:

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday declared that he is so far ahead of his 2024 Republican presidential primary opponents that he doesn’t see a reason to participate in the GOP debates.

“I’m leading by 40 points. A lot of people say, ‘Why would you do a debate when you have people at two and three and fifteen and fourteen [percent]?’” Trump told John Catsimatidis, host of the “Cats & Cosby Show” on WABC 770.

“People don’t debate when they have these massive leads. They say, ‘Why would we debate?’ I would have a hostile group of anchors — a hostile network — asking questions. Why would I do that?” the 76-year-old former president said.

Trump went on to decry that the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, site of the second scheduled Republican presidential primary debate, is “run by the Washington Post,” which he derided as “the enemy of the people.”

“The publisher of the Washington Post is the chairman of the Reagan library. And that’s where one of the debates would be. I don’t want to be there,” Trump told Catsimatidis, referring to former Reagan White House aide Frederick Ryan Jr., who is now chairman of the Reagan library and publisher and CEO of the Washington Post.

Trump continued, “When you’re way up, you don’t do debates.”

The former commander-in-chief then reiterated, “You’re going to have people at 1% and less than 1% asking you questions? It’s sort of like crazy.”

The funniest thing would have been if Trump had thought the @ was Mitchavelli and hired him as a strategist because he looks Mitchavellian.

And then Mitchell was dumb enough to say “it’s Mitchell 7” and Trump was like “well, maybe I’ll hire one of the other six – you’re fired.”

He’s right about the debates, I guess. But I’m still personally confused as to what the purpose of this campaign is.

Honestly, I want the Bill Mitchell lore now. He was banned in the lead up to 2020 just because the official policy of the site was that you weren’t allowed to support Trump at all unless you were an important intelligence asset that is also totally ineffectual (basically, I think Jack Posobiec was the only Trump supporter on the site).

I wish I was Tom Woods and did a 30 minute podcast every day and was really rich and filled with fake emotions that feel like real emotions, and I could call up Mitchell and get the lore.

The nerve of the Jews shall never cease to amaze the humble gentile.

CNN:

Joe Biden did a better job in the final debate on Thursday, according to a CNN Instant Poll of debate watchers. Overall, 53% of voters who watched the debate said that Biden won the matchup, while 39% said that President Donald Trump did.

Viewers once again said that Biden’s criticisms of Trump were largely fair (73% said they were fair, 26% unfair), and they split over whether Trump’s attacks on Biden were fair (50% said yes, 49% no).

That’s a more positive outcome for Trump. In a CNN Instant Poll after the first presidential debate, just 28% said they thought the President had won the debate, and 67% called his criticism of Biden unfair.

All told, though, the debate did not do much to move impressions of either candidate. Favorable views of Biden before the debate stood at 55%, and they held steady at 56% in post-debate interviews. Likewise, Trump’s numbers held steady, with 42% saying they had a favorable view of the President in interviews conducted before Thursday’s debate and 41% saying the same afterward.

Women are once again shown to be traitors to the race.

Women were more likely than men to say that Biden did the better job in the debate (60% of women said Biden won, 35% Trump, while among men, 47% said Biden won, 44% said Trump did). Independents also largely felt Biden won (55% Biden to 36% Trump), as did moderates (56% Biden to 37% Trump) and White voters with college degrees (64% Biden to 29% Trump). Among those 65 and older — a group backing Biden in greater numbers than they did Hillary Clinton in 2016, according to most polls — the verdict was a split decision, with 46% saying Biden won, 43% Trump and 10% saying they both did equally well. Younger voters broadly saw Biden as the winner, 66%, to 27% for Trump among those under age 45.

They openly admit that women have completely different views than men, yet we’re also supposed to believe that saying women shouldn’t vote is a preposterous position.

Actually, the preposterous thing is for any single Republican to support women voting. In theory, they have to support women voting because if they say they’re against women voting then they’ll lose the small portion of women they do have – basically a hostage situation. Which is understandable. But in reality, Republicans are so stupid, that they say “women voting is our values, and it doesn’t matter if we lose, as long as we have our values.”

Frankly, if only 53% thought Biden won in a fake poll, that’s not great for them, and I’m in fact surprised they published it.

Obviously, it’s not a real poll. The last paragraph of the article explains in a way that I didn’t really understand that the people polled are part of some group that CNN put together, which explains why they felt comfortable calling them at 11 PM.

Can you imagine watching that, with that weird old man mumbling confusedly, his mouth gaping open, looking scared, and saying “oh yeah, uh huh – he’s sharp. That guy right there – he’s on the ball”?

I can believe women would say that, but if a man said it, he’s lying.

Both men and women now feel threatened by masculinity, and a confused old man mumbling and shuffling, speaking incoherently, comforts them. Looking at the actual agenda he represents and what it means for their lives would mean “facing reality,” which is something they aren’t going to do until it kicks in their door at 3AM screaming “BLACK LIVES MATTER, MOTHERFUCKER!” and no one answers when they call 911.

But Trump danced the boomer jig this time around. He did “Nice Guy Trump” and came across very well, if you’re into that genre of Trump.

I’d like to see a real poll. But we never will.

Not until November 3. Then we get the real poll.

Let’s just pray Trump has the nerve to declare victory on election night.

Your #1 most trusted source of non-kosher debate coverage!

As you watched the first Trump Clinton debate last Sunday, you may have been thinking the same thing about the network pre- and post-debate commentary as myself, namely, that it was all so Jewy, there was nobody discussing things explicitly from the White Man’s perspective, and barely any mention of Adolf Hitler!

We here at the world’s #1 Alt-Right website, The Daily Stormer, have taken note of this inexcusable void and we’re stepping up with a fantastic team of commentators featuring our peerless publisher Andrew Anglin, Zeiger, Tharru Larbi, and myself, Azzmador for the first ever Presidential Debate StormCast!

Pre-debate coverage begins Sunday, October 9th at 8 PM Eastern, 7 PM Central.

Post debate commentary will air immediately after the debate.

Mark it on your calendars and tell your friends. We’ll be doing it live via Google Hangouts and the show will be posted here!

Howard Dean literally came out and claimed that Trump was on cocaine during the debate because he was allegedly sniffling.

People were like “no, this is normal if you mic isn’t calibrated correctly, he wasn’t actually even sniffling.” Trump was called a “conspiracy theorist” for saying the mic had a problem.

Well.

As it turns out.

CNN:

The Commission on Presidential Debates revealed in a one-sentence statement Friday that Donald Trump’s audio was impacted earlier in the week.

“Regarding the first debate, there were issues regarding Donald Trump’s audio that affected the sound level in the debate hall,” the commission said in a statement. No other details were immediately made available.

The statement provided no evidence that the audio issue affected the television audience of more than 80 million people.

To CNN producers inside the debate hall, it sounded as if Trump’s audio was at a lower level at the beginning of several answers, perhaps as a result of him standing too far away from the microphone attached to his lectern. During the course of those answers, it appeared as if someone had increased the audio level, making Trump sound louder in the hall.

(((Someone))).

His audio level never seemed to stay low for an entire answer. The audio issue appears to have been limited to what was heard by the audience inside the debate hall, and the variations in audio were not heard by viewers watching the debate on television.

The PA system in the auditorium and the TV audio were operated separately.

Trump had complained earlier in the week that his microphone wasn’t functioning properly at Monday’s debate, though Friday’s statement by the commission said nothing about a microphone problem.

“And they also had, gave me a defective mic. Did you notice that? My mic was defective within the room,” he told a group of reporters afterward. “No, but I wonder, was that on purpose? Was that on purpose? But I had a mic that wasn’t worked properly, with, working properly within the room.”

Speaking at a rally in Novi, Michigan, Friday afternoon, Trump said the commission’s announcement vindicated him.

“It was just as I was saying,” Trump declared. “Working that mic was a hell of a lot more difficult than working crooked Hillary Clinton.”

He added: “I wonder why it was bad. I wonder why it was bad,” though he did not speculate further.

Yeah.

I wonder why?

Google news.

One of my favorite aspects of the debate Monday was how Trump dominated the moderator completely, getting his way in every situation. He got replies when he shouldn’t have, talked for longer than he should have, and just generally disregarded the interventions of the moderator, talking over him with impunity.

The google was dominated by the White man, like God intended.

If massah’ wants mo’ time for his answa’, I be givin’ him mo’ time.

But all kidding aside, he did a horrible job of actually keeping the candidates in check, following the time-line an remaining neutral.

No wonder they hid his face for the whole debate.

The Daily Beast:

If you were watching CNN’s coverage of the Clinton vs Trump slugfest, moderator Lester Holt of NBC was nowhere to be seen—and today CNN won’t say why.

…

If you depended on that particular news source, as I did, to watch Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump mix it up at Long Island’s Hofstra University, you might have gotten the idea that the debate’s moderator, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt, was merely a disembodied voice, posing questions from a kind of nightmare limbo—occasionally heard, as he struggled to keep the candidates on time and on point, but never seen.

I beeee a ghoooooost and Shiiiiieeeeeeet…

CNN’s nearly 10 million debate viewers could be forgiven for wondering if the Commission on Presidential Debates was responsible for marginalizing their hand-picked moderator by providing camera angles of the candidates but essentially making Holt disappear, except when he introduced Clinton and Trump at the beginning of the event and shook their hands at the end.

One theory: CNN knew that their moderator would be strongly biased against Trump, and thought his credibility would be higher if people forgot he’s a google. So they avoided showing his face during the debate to make his interventions more palatable.

Either way, isn’t it shameful how CNN, a supposedly progressive publication, is minimizing the contributions of their brave African-American employee? I guess they were embarrassed to have a lowly google working for them, smdh.

The day has finally come.

The forces of light shall face off against the forces of darkness and evil in the first of three rounds of MORTAL KOMBAT to determine the fate of the human race.

This will be the most viewed political event in the history of the world.

And it will probably not be surpassed by any event in the future, as we are going to do away with Democracy after Trump takes the throne so it won’t really be that important any more. Politics will just be a bunch of EXQUISITELY-DRESSED WHITE MALE GENIUSES sitting around having SUPER IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS rather than any sort of MORTAL KOMBAT.

Tonight, by simply watching this event, you are taking part in history.

We know now that KEK is real. He is watching over us and he is listening to our memes. Our Memes please him. The more you meme, the more powerful the GOD EMPEROR becomes, and the weaker our ABOMINABLE ADVERSARY.

If OUR MIGHTY LORD wills it, she may actually literally collapse and die in the arena tonight.

So put all of your spiritual energy into your memes and shitposting in this LIVE THREAD!

As a special treat for you, and a focal point for your spiritual energies, we’ve got a very special pre-debate version of The Daily Shoah.

They’ll go until the debate starts, then start up again after the end for a post-debate wrap-up.

I will be going on the second thing, at 10:30ish EST (2:30 GMT, for all you Britbros and Eurobros staying up all night long).

(Pretty sure it will be the same stream as above, just turned back on again, but I’m not sure that’s possible. If it’s a different stream, I’ll update you.)

It’s all HAPPENING NOW!

Hail Victory.
