冰与火之歌第一季

Republican presidential contenders traded nasty, sometimes personal barbs at the 2024 campaign season's first primary debate, ignoring the debate time-limit bell to shout over each other and accuse each other of dishonesty and a lack of presidential qualifications.

But if anyone prevailed at the debate, it was someone who wasn't there: former president and current front-runner Donald Trump, who had the debate audience booing candidates who criticized him and cheering those who defended him.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was the most aggressive in his blunt assessment of Trump, who is set to turn himself into authorities for processing Thursday in Georgia’s Fulton County on racketeering and other charges related to the effort to take away President Joe Biden's 2020 win in Georgia and give it to Trump.

"Someone's got to stop normalizing this conduct. Whether or not you believe the criminal charges are right or wrong, the conduct is beneath the office of the president of the United States," Christie said in a lengthy response that at one point was stopped by overwhelming boos from the live audience.

When 38-year-old tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy – who spent much of the evening needling his opponents like they were annoying parents who think they know more – jumped in to accuse Christie of running "a campaign … based on vengeance and grievance against one man," the former Garden State governor and onetime prosecutor turned his ire on Ramaswamy.

"You sit here talking about how you want to stand up for the rule of law. It can't be selective," Christie said, adding that Ramaswamy says different things about Trump in his book than he says while campaigning before a GOP electorate still very attached to the former president.

"I know a lot better than you do. You've never done it," Christie said. "We stood up for law and order. I am not going to bow to anyone when we have a president of the United States who disrespects the Constitution."

At one point, the boos and jeers became so loud Christie could not speak. "Booing is allowed, but it doesn't change the truth," he said. Moderator Bret Baier had to physically turn around in his seat and admonish the crowd to be quiet, while fellow moderator Martha McCallum tried to keep the candidates from drowning each other out.

Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson got no love either from the crowd when he said Trump was "morally disqualified" from being president again. "Obviously, I'm not going to support someone who's been convicted of a serious felony," said Hutchinson, whose extensive resume in all three branches of government has not gotten him above low single digits in primary polls.

Former Vice President Mike Pence made the issue more about his own behavior on Jan. 6, 2021, saying he did what was legally and morally right in refusing to reject the electoral slates sent to Washington to certify Biden's win.

"No one is above the law, and President Trump is entitled to the presumption of innocence every American is entitled to," Pence said. "But the American people deserve to know that ... he asked me to put him above the Constitution. I chose the Constitution and I always will."

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley stayed above the fray in a debate that descended into a political food fight. She confidently displayed her foreign policy credentials, knocking down opponents who said the U.S. should cut off aid to Ukraine.

She noted her strong anti-abortion position but said the rest of the field needed to be “honest” with the American public and let them know a national ban was not in the works because it would never survive a Senate filibuster. And she blamed her own party as well as Democrats for running up the public debt.

Still, Trump is far and away the favorite to win the GOP nomination. A Des Moines Register/NBC poll released this week had Trump with the support of 42% of Iowa Republicans, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis a distant second, with 19% support. The remaining candidates on stage Wednesday night, including Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, Pence, Haley, Ramaswamy, Christie and Hutchinson, all had support in the single digits.

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum got just 2% in the poll and his condition at the debate – forced to stand for two hours despite having badly injured his leg while he was playing basketball Monday – seemed to underscore his wounded status.

"I think I took it too literally when they said, ‘Go to Milwaukee and break a leg,'" Burgum said in arguably his most memorable line of the night.

DeSantis, who has struggled in the polls in recent weeks, talked about his signature issues, such as eliminating discussion of certain racial and gender issues in schools but did not do anything to establish himself in his earlier role as back-up choice to Trump.

Ramaswamy has edged into second place in a couple of polls, ahead of a flagging DeSantis, and the debate dynamic reflected it. Buoyed by his emergence from unknown to candidate-of-the-hour, Ramaswamy confidently slammed his opponents for their positions, their character and even their age, saying Americans needed a new generation of leadership.

The rest of the group was having none of it.

"Let me explain it to you. I can go slower for you this time," sneered the usually decorous Pence, when Ramaswamy criticized his policies. "Now is not the time for on-the-job-training, We don't need to bring in a rookie," the former vice president added.

Ramaswamy cast himself as an outsider, saying, "The real choice we face in this primary is this: Do we want a super PAC puppet or do you want a patriot who speaks the truth?"

Ramaswamy dismissed a young voter's question about climate change, saying more people had been injured from "bad climate change policies" than climate change itself, which he called “a hoax.” He accused his opponents of unspecified corruption, saying, "I'm the only person on this stage who isn't bought and paid for."

Christie noted that Ramaswamy's comment about being the "skinny guy" with a "funny name" was almost word for word what Democratic President Barack Obama said when he was first running for president.

"I'm afraid we're dealing with the same kind of amateur,” Christie said.

Scott, who underscored his anti-abortion credentials and commitment to reducing government, urged a conversation on issues.

"Going back and forth and (being) childish is not helpful to the American people," Scott said.

Haley, exasperated by interruptions and escalating voices from much of the rest of the stage, noted, "This is exactly why [former British Prime Minister] Margaret Thatcher said, 'If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.’" It was one of the few comments Haley could get in, edgewise, during the raucous debate.

76人将中锋布鲁姆和1个2027年次轮签送给快船，换来部分现金。

二 | 此举是为了给新援&前湖人冠军成员波普腾岗位，后者已经和灰熊达成买断等澄清期过后就能入驻费城，新合同是1年390万。布鲁姆是76人亲手摘下的中锋，2025年35号秀，上赛季他为球队出战11场比赛，场均5分钟可以得到0.9分1.5板；由于资历尚浅，这哥们大部分时间都被放在发展联盟炸鱼塘；为G联盟附属球队特拉华蓝衫出战26场比赛，场均32.9 分钟可以爆砍21.8 分8.3板3.2助1.5次帽1.1断。原本是培养布鲁姆是为了五号位作贮备，随时为大帝分摊压力，但现在迫于阵容优化不得不战略性放弃；不过休赛期76人也针对性引入了尼克斯冠军中锋胡克波尔蒂，外加还有上赛季进步显著的替补内线博纳，应该也能满足新赛季内线轮换需求了。对了这笔交易完成后，76人正式名单有14人（含波普），球队总薪资距离第一土豪线170万，成功将薪资控制在第一土豪线、第二土豪线两条红线之下，保留了后续操作的可能性。对此，夸梅-布朗依旧觉得自己的老东家的五号位是弱环，在《夸梅·布朗的水货生活》中（这什么雷霆节目），大谈防守与引援：“费城并不是一支防守很好的球队。只要把恩比德调离篮下就完蛋了。所以我认为他们应该去寻找另一个便宜的中锋。例如，外面还有德怀特-霍华德，他比詹姆斯还年轻。

三 | 他想重返联盟，看起来身材也保持得不错。如果他能恢复状态，我会把他带到训练营。给他一两百万美元够了。”其实在夸梅布朗力荐之前，火花就已经在4天前建议76人签下自己，还在 IG主页晒出了P得毫无违和感的定妆照。不好意思，手滑了，这位才是火花而且这条帖子足足有30万赞！即便和NBA毫无瓜葛许久，可霍师傅蹭流量这块功力依旧不减当年...要我说76人差不多就得了，毕竟很多队伍都还在处理头疼的薪资压力，难以再兼顾引援了。目前联盟进入第一土豪线的队伍有森林狼、尼克斯、雷霆、太阳和魔术，进入土豪线的则只有掘金，一枝独秀...离谱的是，掘金还在努力留下受限制自由球员沃特森。The Athletic名记Tony Jones爆料，掘金已经开出了5年7000万美元的续约合同报价；直接裸续基本不可能，掘金早就没有足够的薪资空间，前阵子2年1200留下斯潘塞-琼斯，已经被迫割肉掏出了4420万的真金白银（1200万工资+3220万奢侈税）；这一回再留沃特森的话，只能交易走阵中1~2份合同，至少得让球队回到第二土豪线以下。

四 | 沃特森上赛季在持球自主进攻以及投射上有显著提升，是掘金为数不多的运动型侧翼，失去他对球队打击不小，尤其是随着伤病不断地戈登将在下赛季前年满31岁步入巅峰尾声，沃特森的重要性更不言而喻。不过话说回来，掘金拼尽全力给的5年7000万，在沃特森看来显然还不够格，毕竟队友布劳恩都能5年1.25亿，这差距可不是一丁半点。所以大概率拒绝报价后，阿技推断沃特森会选以下两种方案之一：①先签后换，但掘金对外要价更高，据说一名高水平即战力+1枚首轮；②签下资质报价，换取下赛季休赛期完全自由球员的身份。
