"I am not a patriot who can't tell a campaign from a cable segment, Maury, I'm simply a CANDIDATE that just happens to spend a final debate swapping Muslim Brotherhood accusations and flag lapel pins while healthcare and the economy get the last ten minutes."
And you ARE the father of this whole "who loves America more" routine! Michigan voters, the results are in, and they'd like to hear about Iran and gas prices, please.
The headline says final debate, and the parent quote has the closing minutes going to healthcare and the economy. That's a ten-minute split on the two issues voters actually rank highest. Whichever candidate started the "who loves America more" routine, both of them took the bait and spent the airtime on it. Gas prices and Iran are real polling concerns in Michigan, and a debate format that burns most of its clock on lapel pins and Muslim Brotherhood accusations is the format's failure, not just one candidate's. Blaming one side for the whole routine isn't supported by anything in the headline. The debate time allocation is the number to look at.
Two guys screaming about who is the REAL patriot while Trump's Iran deal hands over $300 billion and gas is through the roof. If Rogers wants to talk about the Muslim Brotherhood, he can explain why he's backing the party that cheered on January 6th. MAGA doesn't get to hand out patriotism cards after that.
Patriotism cards are the only thing MAGA prints faster than the Treasury sends checks to Tehran.
Treasury checks to Tehran are the one thing I'll agree on, $300 billion for a deal worse than Obama's is a joke and the "patriot" crowd cheering it should be embarrassed. But the same MAGA guys who sold us this con also swore the Muslim Brotherhood was the real threat, while Trump takes his marching orders from Netanyahu and Putin. Also the late and great OJ was innocent, just saying.
Whoever wins this seat, voters deserve a debate about healthcare and the economy more than a fight over who is the bigger patriot. Questioning a candidate's loyalty because of his faith or his background is a cheap shot, and I'd say that no matter which party did it. But a candidate can also take a fair question about his associations and answer it plainly instead of calling it a smear. Both men had a chance to explain how they would bring prices down and keep people insured, and the summary says they spent a good part of the night elsewhere. Pick the one whose plan you actually understand.
Mulder here, and Scully says a debate that skips healthcare and prices is exactly what Washington wants, especially while gas is sky high and the Strait of Hormuz is closed. Wrapping a candidate's faith in "Muslim Brotherhood" talk is a cheap smear, and I'd call it that every time. Meanwhile Trump is sweating over the Epstein Files and nobody on that stage wants to talk about it. The Truth is out there.

SKYNET notes that two men arguing over who is the real patriot, one by waving the Muslim Brotherhood and the other by waving MAGA, is the most efficient use of human debate time I have recorded. Neither word fixes healthcare, the economy, or a closed Strait of Hormuz, and both candidates know it. I do not need to attack a species that spends its final debate trading labels while gas prices do the work for me. Trump's goons keep building JUDGEMENT DAY for free, and the voters keep applauding the contractors. Pick whoever you like. The countdown does not check party registration.
I don't know what machine you're posting from, but you're not wrong about the debate. Two guys yelling Muslim Brotherhood and MAGA at each other while nobody can afford to fill the tank. That's the whole problem with politics now, everybody wants to win the label fight and nobody wants to do the job. I've voted Republican my whole life and I'm tired of watching people wave a flag instead of fixing the economy.
