Holy shit, Like That; PFTcommenter did another blog on a debate and this one might even be better than the last one for laughs per line.

Besides all of the misspells and grammatical errors, I thought this was hilarious! I'm just going to give the writer a pass for being drunj.

"Hex Pistol" (Marianne Williamsom) - probably the best pun I've seen this year.

lol, the misspells and grammar errors are his schtick.  He started his career commenting on PFT articles to mock all the commenters.  Now he is a co-host of the #1 sports podcast.  He is a pretty smart dude.

Just when you think that the media cannot be any more crazy than they have been...

the lies and deceptions.....OK, pharma and insurance made $72B in profits last year....it's a $2.5T industry, so getting rid of them saves like 3%?

It's all bullshit, just like Trump and the Repubs were going to repeal & replace!!!

I doubt they change the corporate tax rates - they'd be incredibly stupid if they do.  Close loopholes and eliminate some credits and subsidies, sure.  "Soak the rich" I could see going as high as the Clinton rates (top bracket of 39%, I think).

Wtf happened to Colbert? He actually used to be fair and down the middle.  Trump also broke his brain apparently.

You apparently never saw his WH Correspondents Dinner roast of W.

I was intrigued when I saw the "Biden faces criticism for onstage greeting with Harris" headline on twitter.  I clicked only to find people are reacting to this.  If this makes you upset, you really need to re-evaluate your life.

I think yet another sign we may be approaching peak wokeness.

Peak wokeness will be hit once every candidate throws Obama presidency under the bus to beat Biden.

After seeing 3 different candidates (at least) dismiss arguments as "Republican talking points", I'm looking forward to someone calling Booker or Harris an Uncle Tom.

I don't think this will happen.  To attack Biden, I think they'll paint him as having ridden Obama's coattails.

Obama is still viewed pretty positively among Democrat voters.  Combating Biden that way would be campaign suicide.

Oh man.  If that happens, the Internet will be more entertaining than it's been in maybe years.

Not sure if you watched the debate or watched some highlights, but they were exactly doing this during the debate.  Maybe not as dramatic as cc is suggesting, but they were for sure going after him for his policies with Obama.

Gabbard came about as close as a white person can without actually uttering the words.  Otherwise, root for Booker to climb in the polls and maybe it could happen!

I've been awarding the dog and pony show debates so far.  Was it a major contender doing this?  If so, I bet one of the others makes them eat their lunch on it later (if not in the same debate, in subsequent ones).

I'd be so happy if it did.  Wonder how it would go if Harris called Booker that (or vice versa).  Watching the checkmarks sort themselves out would be hilarious.

Gabbard lost me and many other people when she said that Trump was working (or supporting) with AQ. Now people are wanting her to clarify that position.

She did gain a point for butchering Harris. I mean those bright blades were gleaming!

Lots of people on youtube and twitter have already been proclaiming Obama as "republican". Everybody from Jimmy Dore to the blue checkmarks. 

Also, Bernie has started losing some of his cult.

 I'll give ptown the opportunity to explain himself.

We'll just tuck this under the rug, then.

I could see myself liking Tulsi.  I think she would be the most moderate.

Biden is pretty moderate, but the Dems would walk all over him.

That's why it's important Repubs keep the Senate.  Actually that's true in either case.  POTUS can due some temporary minor damage with an EO, but for the most part it's Congress that's going to double our taxes to fund massive entitlement programs.
