Not watching the debate. Wouldn’t vote for awful GOP Ashley Klaus, she can go back to the North Pole or wherever she’s from.

Yeah. We watched it for the comedy and it didn't disappoint.

McKee is not good at public speaking, and Ashley Transplant is a master at tap dancing around a question. She’s a female Trump that is gonna bleed this state dry by the time she’s done.

Wrong. When she's done, which will be Tuesday night, she'll head back to IL, or FL, or maybe whatever state she thinks she can buy an elected seat in when 2024 rolls around. She won't do anything to RI.

I’m taking bets on if she’s elected she’ll use her executive power to pay her cash grab Covid company and then never use it again claiming it’s not effective.

Kalus had a mud hole stomped in her last night. She was rattled, frazzled, unprepared and crapped her pants. She was countered on just about everything and didn't know how to respond when countered. She was angry and bitter.

Side note. Gene V sucks and needs to be removed from television

Long past time for that to happen. Let him stick to his Limbaugh-esque radio crap.

He didn’t even try to hide he has a total boner for the GOP and was not neutral at all.

I've seen limited tv ads/interviews and she just always comes across temperamental. How does someone like that expect to be governor?

When was the last time she had to worry about paying bills?

nevitales OP t1_iv0wsmo wrote

That was our first thought when she spurted that line out. Laughable.

They’re both awful. So sad that these two are our choices this year. This is why we need rank choice primaries. Literally any of the other Dems would have been better than McKee on the debate stage, and certainly in office. I’m still going to vote for him, because Ashley Kalus is an insincere opportunist riding the coattails of an insurrection for her own personal gain vs McKee who is just a bag of wind but at least he votes the right way on most things. (Not all things though!) this election is sad. RI can do way better. I hope everyone who complains about elections on Reddit gets involved volunteering for campaigns IRL

Agree 100%. I'm so tired of having to choose who I hate the least, rather than someone I actually support.

McKee saying he wouldn't lay out legal strategy for appealing the truck tolls ruling was silly, like they are going have a surprise moment in court where they spring some zinger out. We know thats not how that works, McKee was just clueless there

Anywhere I can watch this? New RI resident, I've done a decent amount of research into candidates but debates are something else.

I thought Ashley came off better, she actually has some plans. But she really lost her cool when she was under the gun. I don’t know how well she would do under stress.

Every DEMOCRAT in the senate for to fire UNVACCINATED workers everywhere.

Remember that when you are voting next week.

What's your point? To point out that the Republicans didn't care about public health during a pandemic?

captain_carrot t1_iv1n1qv wrote

The vaccine did nothing to stop the spread or prevent people from getting COVID. We know this now, and the knee-jerk reaction to fire people for choosing not to get it wasn't the right answer.

It’s biggest strength was that it kept the infected from hospitalization and death. Overwhelming the health care system was always the biggest concern.

no, to have enough common sense to not shut down the country over the common cold.

A-A-ronRI t1_iv18792 wrote

Please show us support for your claim that it was comparable to the common cold during the time period that things were shut down. And I’m not asking for “well I got it and I felt fine” because same here but you don’t see me mistaking anecdotal evidence for mathematically supported data. Sure, maybe now it seems to be comparable to a cold or pneumonia but you cannot support your claim for early on in the pandemic.

yes. Information is out there. hard to find under the suppressed "misinformation" that turns out now, to be true all along.

Go look at excess deaths over that period of time and let me know how you account for the additional 900k deaths.

southofthetower t1_iv1y2pe wrote

when you get in a car accident, suicide, overdose, cancer, etc and its all classified as covid, that may be a reason. you should probably look deeper. also, during that period of time there were no reported flu deaths. explain that to me.

A-A-ronRI t1_iv2efos wrote

So I know we’ve seen reports of deaths where covid is listed when they die in the car accident, and that would make for an okay argument that the covid deaths are inflated. However, it does not explain the number of excess deaths over expected or the increase in deaths over the prior years. If the number or excess deaths were more in the ballpark of 50k (which is high end on flu deaths most years), then you could make the argument that it is no more deadly than the flu, but that number is near a million, and I think we can agree that that would require death rates for all other causes to be abnormally accelerated.

Previous poster asked for data to support my claim. I provided. Unfortunately we don’t have doctors in RI with enough backbone to speak out. Why??? Have you seen what they’ve been paid. It’s like shooting a gift horse in the mouth.

Can’t wait to see the comments on Tuesday when she wins. Internal polling of the McKee campaign has them in a dead heat.

I was honestly impressed with Ashley’s debate skills. Definitely shredded ol Danny.

Real solutions? Not many between the two of them.

Gotcha. It is amusing if you're looking to kill some time. Calling this guy stupid is an insult to stupid people.
