Seems like the Indiana governor is a bit of a rookie when it comes to conservative outrage politics. He ordered an investigation to find out what was really happening. What a noob.
Maybe the plan is to immediately impanel another investigation, citing unanswered questions, and just keep repeating that over and over again for a few years.
JUST KIDDING, HOW STUPID WOULD THAT BE LOL

That's so crazy... I think I may believe that.
That has been a conspiracy theory going around for some time.

I got an autopsy suite in my hospital, it's full of body parts of veterans who fought for this country. Now they are just floating around in jars. They are separated by body parts and wars they fought in and everything. It's horrible!

You only need to watch the videos (5 in all so far) that shows them that an investigation is easily justified. Multiple states are conducting investigations as we speak.
And another fundamental tenet that forms the foundation of our legal system is "innocent until proven guilty", not "innocent until investigated".
But let's not let a little thing like the legal process get in the way of manufactured outrage.

Hmm, and the Texas AG that just got indicted is Ken Paxton, another P. There must be a conspiracy here somewhere.

I think I am a subscriber to the theory of Trump being paid to run for Clinton's benefit.
It just seems too convenient that everyday I see him hitting a new far right talking point. He has made for himself quite the niche at this point. He is just enough anti-immigration (despite what he actually does) and apparently now he is also an anti-vaxer. Almost every fringe conservative I know that pays zero attention to politics, does not research candidates or irrationally hates liberals (and anything actually of the conservative ideology it seems) is favoring Trump.

Lol :(
I think the debate is going to be a bust tonight.
Each candidate get, what 5-10 minutes? Boring.
That might actually help Trump because he's got the charisma to pop in such a short timeframe.
Hours away from mayhem.

I did read an opinion piece on CNN that said all it may take to bring down Trump are a few really good one-liners at his expense. Historically, Trump reacts very badly when he is mocked.

I'm still recovering from the Senate/Congress committees on Iran, so I'll give this a miss
Get the feeling that this 'debate' will make those committees look like the drafting of the independence declaration

I'm going to have to DVR it. I will want to see the point of reference to all the dumb stuff I will see in social media lol.
Trump won't go down yet, his role still needs to be played. He won't do wrong in this debate because he is seen as the not politician (lmao) and every failure on his part will help confirm that for his fans.
Don’t have a cable subscription? Unfortunately, there are limited online options to watch Thursday’s Republican primary presidential debate hosted by Fox News.
The main debate will be broadcast live from Cleveland at 9 p.m. ET on FOX News Channel, according to the network. It will also be streamed live at FOXNews.com and on the Fox News app, both of which require a cable subscription login. The second tier debate for candidates who didn’t make the top 10 in terms of polling numbers will be broadcast the same way at 5 p.m.
For those who don’t have cable TV, there’s always Twitter, Facebook and live blogs for following along in real-time.

No, that is not 'literally a pay per view event'. It literally is included in almost every basic cable or satellite TV subscription, unlike an actual pay per view event for which a fee to watch that event must be paid, you know, where you literally must Pay per view (hence the name).

Every time a terrorist dies a Paratrooper gets his wings.
Well, considering one has to pay for a cable subscription, it literally is pay per view. I'm of the opinion, all debates must be mandated to be simulcast on CSPAN and the emergency alert system (lets actually use it for something). Screw corporate media stocks, they are one of the reasons our nation has become so polarized into thinking as "us vs. them" when really we are all on the same team (go USA!) just looking to get spots on the starting roster.

The fact that it is exclusively broadcasted through a paid cable channel and no camdidate refuses to participate becaise of that shows whose pocket the candidates hold.

Again, no.
Pay Per View is where you pay a fee to watch a particular broadcast (like a sporting event). This debate literally does NOT fit the definition as this broadcast is included in about every basic satellite and cable subscription.

You still have to pay to view it. The fact its monthly instead of at the point of viewing doesn't mean you aren't paying to view it.

The main problem is I'd have to get CNN along with it.
And all I'd use it for is watching Discovery and Sci-fi channels.

As a Brit who hasn't been to America since this election cycle started, can I ask who the moderate Republicans are throwing their weight behind right now?
(by moderate I mean someone who thinks Obama's a decent guy trying to do the best for your country but you disagree with the way he's going about it)
All we're seeing in the news over here is Trump (who's a joke). Who are the serious candidates that can win the middle ground?
