I’m so glad he’s back.

I yelled at my TV when she was bragging about Dick Cheney’s endorsement.

It was directly targeted to the people were supporting Nikki Haley and the very few principled republicans left. “You don’t have to support this disgusting man just because you’re Republican. These famous republicans don’t”. It was a smart move to gather extra support.

What about the people with principles that remember the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis that died in the Iraq War that Dick is directly responsible for? Its fucking gross

There’s a ton of other Republicans they could’ve name dropped other than goddamn Dick Cheney. I think even most Republicans hate him.

It was a smart move. You don't just snub a guy that has no problem blasting a guy with some bird shot.

Dick Cheney was the 2000s Trump. Still an evil man who should never be praised.

He's a bit smarter than Trump, and arguably more evil. I often thought it him as a bit of an Emperor Palpatine. Trump's more of a man baby.

There's just some endorsements you don't want.

That's not a recap, that's a humoristic piece based off of the debate. I haven't seen the debate, but I've seen the piece, and I still don't know anything about the debate except that bit about dog-eating migrants

You're right, that's not a recap, but I watched both and it does pretty well capture the spirit of how the debate went. Yes, you'll need to watch it, or an actual recap, to get the details of what the two said about the various other topics, but what Stewart highlighted was very representative of the rest of it.

Ok. I'll probably watch it anyway

Go for it. It's... exhausting and frustrating, but worth a watch.

Yeah it was kind of pandering in a way idk he's done before. I actually watched clips from the old episode where dick cheney had just shot someone and it's so different

the debate had a lot of humorous crazy talk so don't be so sure. That being said I have not seen the jon steward yet but can't wait to watch tonight hopefully.
