This Crist/Scott Debate is Unwatchable

[RockaFowler]

Anyone watching it in Florida?? Scott refused to join the debate because Crist asked for a fan (what a child that Scott is).

They brought up Stand Your Ground (Crist wants to overturn it - Scott likes it just like it is)
They brought up Solar Energy (Crist is for it - Scott is not - Why not?)
Schools, Taxes, etc are all being brought up

pRick Scott is a real dick. He is so pitiful. Charlie is wiping the floor with him right now

[Sancho]

1. I'm watching...Scott is the worst governor ever

..and he's nuts!!

[RockaFowler]

3. How many times can he bring up his Mama??

[DrDan]

6. "he's a good boy" - I hated that commercial

but I think it swayed the seniors here

[ChiciB1]

25. But That Is Just Stupid...

I live here, can't do Scott again. I already voted for Crist!

[yeoman6987]

9. I saw it! They both are awful!

Charlie Crist passed the traditional marriage law. Some Democratic person he is.

[Spider Jerusalem]

16. He signed it, the Florida legislature passed it

just like Clinton signed DOMA.

[KaryninMiami]

2. I hope people are watching

And seeing Scott for the monster that he is.

[DrDan]

4. yep - watching it

that beginning was bizarre

[RockaFowler]

5. That was the worst Spanish Pandering Ever

pRick Scott just said something in Spanish that I didn't understand and I don't think any Spanish speaking person understood either

[lpbk2713]

34. That was the worst example of tourist Spanish I've ever heard.

He should be embarrassed but I know he has no sense of shame.

[KingCharlemagne]

38. Pinche Scott! :) - no text

[NightWatcher]

7. Scott's language module is broken, another one will be sent down from the Mothership

What a fuckstick, alien lizard person

[RockaFowler]

8. He was unable to talk in complete sentences

That was unreal

[mcar]

10. He has such an odd way of speaking

I wonder if it's a speech impediment.

[NightWatcher]

13. Earthling is not his native tongue

[mcar]

14. LOL

[ChiciB1]

22. He Talks Like That ALL THE TIME! Weird! n/t

[freshwest]

28. Please don't stop! I love it when you talk dirty about Reptilicans!

[Cha]

35. Rofl! LOL

[mcar]

11. Scott was whiny and petty

His major themes were "Charlie's bad" and "Yes I did have a mother."

I bet the media will slam Crist for not following the rules, though, rather than pointing out Scott's petulance.

[starroute]

20. It sounded like the rule was about "electronic devices" -- not fans

In other words, no iPhones or anything else that could be used to look up answers or have them texted in by handlers. A fan is not an electronic device just because it runs on electricity.

[mcar]

29. Oh I agree

I'm just worried the media will focus on that rather than Scott's ridiculous reaction.

[FloridaBlues]

12. Scott the un human human

Scott was so schooled to look and act human but missed the mark.
I was hoping Crist would take him on more about his policies.
The fan got the better part of the debate
Fl voters get out and vote to get Scott out!

[DirkGently]

15. Scott had a fantrum! n/t

[RockaFowler]

17. I think the Repubs may have lost this election tonight

Privately, Republicans/Rick Scott loyalists are telling me the moment he didn't go onstage over fangate was the moment he lost the election

If all it takes is a fan 2 make @FLGovScott disappear, we should've brought one out a long time ago #fangate #FLGovDebate #FailRickScott


MATTY ICE ‏@MattyIceAZ · 14m14 minutes ago
To be fair, the fan was a prop to remind @FLGovScott how badly his debating skills blow. #fangate #FLGovDebate

Joy Reid ‏@JoyAnnReid · 22m22 minutes ago
#FanGate trending is not good news for the Scott campaign, obviously. Would love to be a fly on the wall for the post-debate staff meeting.

:large
This picture says it all and will be on every newspaper Front Page in the morning

[ChiciB1]

23. I Really Hope So... It Was Simply NUTS!

At first the audience was shocked, but when he decided to debate the audience didn't seem to have a very big problem. THAT is what I found weird. May have misread this, but Scott actually got positive responses to some of his answers.

Just don't understand why!

[demwing]

27. 25-30% of voters will support any Republican

Even one as ugly in body, mind, and spirit as pRick Scott. In fact, there are some repukes who like their candidates to be psychopaths. POssibly because they're borderline psychopaths as well...

[ChiciB1]

40. So True, So True! n/t

[mcar]

30. This is great!

The whole thing was surreal. Scott came off like a 5 year old.

[Cha]

36. Oh I hope so, RockaFowler!

Crist.. "..taking the 5th Amendment to a whole new level.." paraphrasing!

[Skidmore]

18. Anything after the first couple of minutes

is anticlimatic.

[Fla_Democrat]

19. I highly doubt there is anything there...

that will change my mind... about either one of them.

I'll find something else to do with my time.

[ChiciB1]

24. So Not Voting Is A Real Option For You??

I realize your angst, but I will be mortified if I have to look at the aliens face for 4 more years!

[Fla_Democrat]

32. Actually, I was refering to the debate

I wasn't going to waste my time watching it. As to the other, I got my sunglasses left over from "They Live"... I see both of them clearly for what they are.

But yes, I will vote. Absentee ballot is in the front seat of the truck. Will mail it back, come Monday.

[ChiciB1]

41. GOOD... It Is What It Is??? n/t

[ChiciB1]

21. I Watched On C-Span, Rick Scott Is An Idiot!

I hope the stunt he pulled will be a BIG negative for him. I know many here hate Charlie Crist too but we don't have any other choice. Crist did govern more moderately than I had expected when he was Governor, and at least he's not ashamed of his association with Obama.

I'm doing all I can to GOTV for Crist. Scott really needs to go, he's worse than I ever expected and can't understand why it's so close. He's truly a CROOK and looks like an alien. He never really answers ANY questions just repeats certain talking points or starts talking about his family. He's had so much money given to him you'd think he would have learned how to communicate! Just watching him makes me scratch my head. I've lived in FL for a very long time, through many governors and he by far THE WORST!

[Cha]

37. I don't hate Crist.. loving this.. Good Luck, ChiciB

[Aerows]

26. That dude in the green tie

Is the biggest asshole I've ever seen on television. He is about as impartial as participant in an honor killing.

Disgusting jerk.

[Aerows]

31. Rick Scott

Isn't worthy of being pissed on if he was on fire.

That's the *nicest* thing I could come up with to say about him.

[kentuck]

33. I'm for Crist.

I think there is a place in the Democratic Party for him?

[Rex]

39. A fan resonates at the same frequency as Scott's robotic parts.

It would cause 'malfunctions' on stage.
