I hope this is streamed online, don't want to miss it.

You'll be able to. http://www.foxnews.com/live-coverage/fox-news-republican-presidential-primary-debate

Have any of the planned questions been released for preview?

Just this gem:

@EWErickson: I intend to ask each POTUS candidate next week if they’d support a gov’t shutdown if that’s what it took to defund Planned Parenthood.

 

[bomma_man]

I think this is the best we got so far for a stream.

Here's another stream. http://www.playlivenew.com/2010/07/watch-fox-news-live/



I'll rather not give them hits.

There are saints living among us

Why is Jon Stewart ending his show right before this happens

 

[ISOM]

Good lord this debate is going to be a car crash and none of us will be able to look away.

 

[Mario]

Just this gem:

Sad that's the question rather than what would be a far more revealing "Why do you want to defund Planned Parenthood?".

 

[BigDug13]

Sad that's the question rather than what would be a far more revealing "Why do you want to defund Planned Parenthood?".

Haven't you heard? Every single Planned Parenthood branch is selling fetus parts for profit and must be shutdown.

 

[Banzai]

Will watch for entertainment value.
But I'm actually reeeally worried that Trump keeps gaining supporters. And I don't even live in the USA.

Oh, Stewart. What a time to leave.

 

[Apt101]

This should be entertaining. I hope I get home in time to catch the start.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

OK, this is a trainwreck I'll tune in for.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Thursday is a good TV day.

[tanooki27]

this gonna be cool as hell. anticipated viewership is largest in primary debate history

if Jeb wins Jon Stewart should run in 2020. consider the historical record: that robin Williams movie

 

[Veritigo_X]

lol at "Kid's Table." This is going to be some quality television. They could've gone full PPV and I would've paid up.

 

[DrForester]

Santorum is so salty about this, it's great.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Someone give me the rundown here. There is a lesser debate before the main event? Are they both tomorrow?

 

[Hyperactivity]

Damn it Perry, you had one job

 

[Sub_Level]

Sad that Perry didn't make it in. He was my main last time. Easily has the most invincibility frames.

Someone give me the rundown here. There is a lesser debate before the main event? Are they both tomorrow?

Yes. Lesser one is at 2 Pacific Time and the main one is at 6 Pacific Time.

 

[neogaffer1]

what timezone is the 5pm referring to?

edit: right above me, lol.

 

[Reptars Revenge]

They should have let the kids table winner come sit and the big table.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

I just want Trump VS Cruz. Everyone else being there just hinders the true entertainment.

 

[neogaffer1]

how long after this debate do we get the first dropouts? i'd imagine that those who do poorly in the kid's table debate will drop out pretty fast if it kills their already tiny numbers

 

[Veritigo_X]

I'm hoping the entire kid's table doesn't show up out of spite. That Santorum manager quote sounds so salty.

 

[CopperPuppy]

Why is Jon Stewart ending his show right before this happens

I can't decide whether it's incredibly appropriate and thus a must-watch or if it will ruin my precious memory of his final show.

For those tuning in to TDS finale, what's your verdict?

 

[Kaladin]

 

[params7]

It amuses me Trump is going in as the superstar and others are basically being coached right now on how to tackle him.

 

[tanooki27]

Damn it Perry, you had one job

the glasses didn't work, poor guy

[NeonBlack]

I still don't understand how trump has the lead. No matter what happens I'm gonna be sad, laughing my ass off but sad.

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

Name recognition. No one cares about the policies. He's rich and he's feigning this whole "gutcheck, America!" schtick as a way to rouse the Conservative base.

 

[PantherLotus]

This is at once glorious for my political preferences and devastating to my hope that democracy can work in an oligarch-owned media-driven society. We can all laugh it up but every one of us should be worried as fuck.

One of these clowns is the default choice for 48% of Americans. Forty eight percent.

 

[KingGondo]

I'm most intrigued by how Walker will do.

I honestly have no idea what to expect.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

I still don't understand how trump has the lead. No matter what happens I'm gonna be sad, laughing my ass off but sad.

He literally stands zero chance of winning. He's leading polls right now because most people aren't paying any attention to the election yet, and his name is in the news constantly. Most people probably couldn't name you four people running for president yet. It'd be Trump, Clinton, some Bush, and...

So, essentially the polls are showing which name people recognize right now.

You just had to remind me that my family automatically votes for their party didn't you.

I hope you're right, sir.

of the guys with real a shot, I find Walker the scariest. Any of them in the White House would be devastating though

 

[ezrarh]

I'm most intrigued by how Walker will do.

I honestly have no idea what to expect.

Everybody says he's dumb. He looks dumb. I haven't listened to him for more than a few seconds in small clips so I don't really know but it should be interesting.

 

[RDreamer]

He's a legit idiot, and he doesn't like to actually answer questions.

I'm pretty curious, myself.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Can't even express how excited I am for this.

Trump:" Before we start tonight's debate let it be known that I'm surrounded by losers!"

Perfect

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Christi???

oh man, stage full of assholes

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Why is Jon Stewart ending his show right before this happens

..and the new guy saying he'll be focusing on buzzfeed instead of Fox.

RIP good satire.

 

[KingGondo]

Everybody says he's dumb. He looks dumb. I haven't listened to him for more than a few seconds in small clips so I don't really know but it should be interesting.

That's my initial instinct. But the real question isn't whether he sounds dumb to us, it's whether he steps on one of the many landmines in his path and offends the fiscal conservatives, the religious nuts, or the tea partiers.

It takes a Perry-tier gaffe to sound dumb to a GOP primary voter at a debate like this.

 

[PantherLotus]

Honestly the only one I would not actively worry about is Jeb.

I was going to type out a bunch of reasons why I worry about the rest but I found myself typing out things that a tea party person would say about Obama -- apocalypse, nuclear war, active destruction of America, etc. Of course saying all that would make me a hypocrite, so..

 

[Paches]

I can only hope we get moments even better than the crowd cheering for the death of the uninsured.

 

[FiggyCal]

I think Trump is going to kill it. The guy's a natural at hogging the stage.

I wouldn't worry about Jeb; he's kind of an awkward guy.

I can only hope we get moments even better than the crowd cheering for the death of the uninsured.

"Are you saying that society should just let him die?"
"Yeah!"

 

[JimtotheHum]

Is there any way that Jeb Bush doesn't get the nomination?

 

[RDreamer]

Is there any way that Jeb Bush doesn't get the nomination?

I honestly still think Walker might.

Probably one of the two. I'm honestly more afraid of Walker than Bush in the general.

 

[Woody Invincible]

Trump def making it out of pools and into winner finals.

 

[FiggyCal]

Is there any way that Jeb Bush doesn't get the nomination?

I put my money on Scott Walker.

 

[IchigoSharingan]

Trump def making it out of pools and into winner finals.

He hasn't even so much as sipped his Redbull either.

 

[sketchsanchez]

I would if not for the fact that the new daily show won't start until September 28th. That show will be missing so much during that downtime.

Rick Perry came and went during august and september 2011, and Donald Trump, the guy the Daily Show has been begging to run forever, has a decent chance of seeing that same fate. Trump might be old news by the time they come back.

That's fair, I didn't realize he's not starting right away. Seemed like it was being written off by people here.

Hopefully the writers are the same and, yknow, it's the republican primary... there's always more fuckery to come!
