Doug Burgum again coming in hot and correct on how the federal government actually harmed American health care. Honestly would love it if he got some traction after this.
The debate has been chaos, and my primary takeaway will be that it was chaos, and ultimately a sideshow given that Trump essentially seems to be running against Biden and ignoring his competitors. But: Nikki Haley has impressed me again, she simply carries an appealing “serious mom” vibe that, in any other cycle without Trump looming large, would travel.
Theme of this debate so far is somewhat frenzied, rapid-fire over-promising by nearly everyone
Putting aside the issues with a “federally expedited death penalty” that MBD raises, I don’t see how Pence’s idea of executing mass shooters would deter mass shootings given that many mass shooters get killed (or commit suicide) during the shootings. The typical profile of a mass shooter is somebody who has given up on life and is prepared to die.
Sorry, I’m still just blown away by Pence’s idea that the Federal Government’s job is to intervene in state’s administration of justice to make sure people meet the hangman faster.
So Mike Pence’s position is that life in prison for mass shooters is soft on crime?
Mike Pence threatens mass shooters with a federal expedited death penalty, which is unlikely to deter mass shooters, many of whom suffer from suicidal ideation and delusions of martyrdom.
It’s officially a GOP primary debate: We’ve heard a promise to abolish the Department of Education.
Federal expedited death penalty?
Why not just promise to drone mass shooters when the drones are on their way back from Jalisco.
I think viewers who haven’t been tuning in to the thinking developing at the edges of conservative think tanks where these issues are being broached tentatively will give Vivek points for doing something relevant and original by addressing both fentanyl and social-media addiction among teens.
