84 - GOP Primary Debate V

Matt, Dan, and Ryan are joined in-studio by former Atheists of Utah board member, Grant Larimer, for coverage of the fifth Republican party primary debate. 

 

Because the participants in the kids' table event are irrelevant at this point (and because we're tired of them), we decided to skip full coverage of the kids' table event. We watched portions of it and mention it briefly, but we spend a fair amount of time at the beginning of the show to let you know our current predictions. We also explain what a contested convention is, give a bit of history about them, and explain some of the possible outcomes.

 

The debate itself had a few memorable moments, our favorite being when Ben Carson spouted a hilarious Monty Python-esque mispronunciation of Reince Priebus' name as "Reince Pubus," hence the image for this show.

 

Jeb Bush seemed much more fired-up in this debate, but struggled to effectively communicate his mostly incoherent points. His best line of the night was, "Donald, you're not going to be able to insult your way to the presidency."

 

Marco Rubio had a very strong showing, and Ted Cruz opted to be The Donald's lapdog for most of the evening.
