In preparation for our final presidential debate and primaries, on Monday, Dec. 12, the candidates gave their last speeches before their appearance before the American people. Each candidate delivered a speech on various topics, some attacking others, some summarizing policies, and some clearing up scandals.
However, this event quickly turned into a republican trainwreck as the two candidates, Bobby Gnocchi and Samuel Buck, acted uncivilized and disrespectful to each other and the American voters.
Samuel Buck’s entire speech surrounded the topic of Bobby Gnocchi and his faults. While this could be considered justified on the basis of normal policy controversy, Buck solely attacked Gnocchi on polarized policies that would never garner support from the average American voter.
“Bobby isn't mandating traditional Christian-conservative values [in schools],” Buck said. “He’s forcing every religion to attend their own church. How does that help anybody?”
Buck also voiced his distaste for Gnocchi's environmental policy, saying that Gnocchi is “on [his] knees for the environment,” “a pretentious liberal,” and “an absolute traitor to conservative values.”
Along with the central focus on Gnocchi rather than his own accolades, Buck used vulgar language when talking about his fellow candidate. He used phrases such as “batshit crazy” and “absolutely insane” when referring to Gnocchi as a person. This display of immaturity is a massive red flag posted on Buck’s campaign.
While Buck is absolutely not the answer for the presidential election, neither is Gnocchi. He fails to determine if he leans towards conservative values and liberal values, and fails to fully please either side, almost an imitation of Mikhail Gorbachev of Soviet Russia (the last leader of the USSR before it’s collapse). Gnocchi attempts to paint a moderate identity, but instead just toes the line to liberalism enough to represent actual conservative values but not enough to satisfy liberal ones.
