  1. That was the slowest reaction and response from each of them crooks

  2. Pence is a liar. I won't ever vote for him.

  3. No Indian curry dude can win the Presidency. Wastin’ his time.

  4. Oh. My. God! If he is a convicted criminal, they would still support/vote for him? You or I couldn't even work at Walmart. That is ashame.

  5. Just as well Trump wasn't there. Those kids pretending to be adults and wannabe Presidents didn't impress me one bit. If any one of them is to replace the Dotard in Chief they'd better up their game or it's all over.

  6. All contestants responded; well uh da hey diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle we all march to the donny's tune. Our "leaders"

  7. >>>>>>>> Increase Your Satisfaction By Understanding Your Existence … sea rch EXISTNC

  8. I hope like heck that DeSantis don't win. That guy is a Klan's member let alone a phony and racist.

  9. What a clown show. This is the best America has to offer? No wonder the world is laughing at us.

  10. I noticed how quick Vivek was to raise his hand.

  11. Our country is declining

  12. It’s simple: Trump broke the law, that’s why he has been indicted.

  13. They would still support Trump if he’s CONVICTed?!? 👎🏻

  14. Trump isn't even going to turn himself in today…HES GOING ON THE LAMB!LOL😏😳😂

  15. from his chicken coop trump says ;
    cluck cluck cluck

  16. That man has caused so much mayhem.

  17. With the acception of Vivek he had more substance than all others.

  18. Yet democrats knew about Biden’s corruption and still voted for him so their point is mute

  19. Dude is this really the republican candidates…..uhhhh. Nvm.

  20. No, you have, right back to the state to count rigged elections

  21. The shame of the last 3 to raise there hand was like watching Biden getting guilted into pretending to care about American's and postponing his 2nd Vacation for the month to tell people Maui that he cared because he almost lost his corvette to fire once.

  22. What conduct of Trump he did not

  23. I like how they raised their hands after waiting to see who raised their hands first.

  24. Amazing, from the youngest to the oldest candidate, ALL ARE CRAZY. The debate of the CRAZIES!

  25. Pencil is a lead wait and a joke to the US Trump is Right he is just what your thinking

  26. THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN 100% BY DOMINION

  27. America is doomed. If these candidates are the "best" of the Republican Party, then insanity has overtaken decency, common sense, honesty, democracy and the Constitution of the USA. With the exception of Christie, these candidates are all a bunch of goofballs.

  28. The modern GOP is a domestic terrorist organization

  29. The ONLY person I have ANY respect for on that floor was as a Hutchinson if I got his name correctly… the only one that DIDNT raise his hand … a man of means …unlike all the other COWARDS ….

  30. Vivek Ramaswamy's shining moment: Climate Change is a hoax.
    But hey, he at least led the pack by raising his hand first when the moderators asked who would support Trump. Perhaps, it shows that he is the leader of the pack. The others looked around for consensus among the debaters before deciding on whether to raise their hand. Vivek also stood out of the pack, when he raised his hand about "not supporting the funding for the war in Ukraine." DeSantis sort of raised his hand but would not definitely say whether he supports funding the war in Ukraine.

  31. It's amazing how only half raised their hand then when they heard the cheers the other half did 😂😂😂😂😂

  32. WELL DESANTIS IS DEFINITELY OUT ,,CRISPY CREAM DONUT 🍩 IS DEFINITELY OUT ,,,PENCE IS A LIAR 🤥 AND IS DEFINITELY OUT ,,,THE ONE GUY I CANNOT PRONOUNCE HIS NAME SHOULD BE TRUMPS VICE PRESIDENT

  33. I guess bad attention still gets applause in the GOP.
