      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.

        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.

    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.

      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.
