Colorado Congressional District 4 GOP Primary Debate 

Kyle Clark should moderate every debate in america.

And the winner of this debate was Kyle Clark. WHY isn't he on National TV. Honestly Colorado ALL of these candidates are Garbage. This was an utter shitshow, not one straight answer on policy. All rhetoric and no substance whatsoever. If you elect one of these incompetents you need your head examining. Good grief.

A very private moment? She did this in a public theatre.

The moderators did a great job, Kyle Clark smacked the hell out of these fools. I wish all these debates had a real moderator like him. The candidates for the most part suck. Peter Yu is better than the rest. Also she was not in private...

The roast of Republican House Camdidates by Kyle Clark

who is Kyle Clark and where has he been hiding? finally a good moderator

The moderator is fantastic. The candidates, not so much.

Boebert still lying. Always lying.

Every single clown on that stage raised their hand when asked if they would vote for a convicted felon for POTUS- the GOP is gone forever. Vote blue.

The moderator is not a pushover, he states clearly to ANSWER the question. Biggest issue I have with debates in the modern era is that the moderators do not challenge people to answer the questions they asked. Thank you!

Kyle please moderate national debates.

Boebert is a complete disgrace. If she had an ounce of decency, she wouldn't run again.

Wow Boebert really is hated by everyone. Also, her blinking at the end just SCREAMS “Please believe me even though I’m lying!”

The moderator deserves a promotion

"Did you think you should tell your colleagues who were voting for you for leader about your drunk driving?" "Mmm....no."

Kyle the moderator was a great !!! He gets the truth out!! Good for him!!!

It’s amazing that a retired army colonel just ignores that trump said suckers and losers to passed vets in graves. It’s a sad soul of an individual.

But it's ThE LibERaL MedIA!!! While the leopards eat each other's faces.

Kyle, you should be a moderator on every single debate everywhere!

Kyle was killing it! Most of these clowns can't answer a straight question.

If I was a Colorado republican voter I would pick Peter yu. He is the only one talking about progress. Evryone else was all about grievances, blaming everyone else. Yu was the only one trying to move forward

We need need these two moderators to do the presidential debates! They were great, no nonsense and asked tough questions. I appreciate how well they stuck to the debate rules.

The best moderator I’ve ever seen in a debate, I’m a Floridian that doesn’t give one damn about Colorado politics and I watched the whole thing because of how good he was.

Man. I didn't know a moderator could control a debate like this 😂. I love it!

Thank you all for doing this. What a shitshow, holy christ.

Kyle and Marshal, you guys are on fire!

Love the moderator taking control and holding these people accountable…they dont answer question cool on to the next

Peter Yu is the only adult on the stage

Now, THIS is how to moderate a debate. Hold their feet to the fire, and don't let the candidates run amuck and control the debate. We need the 9News team on the national stage.

It wasn’t a private moment she was in a public theater

Boebert sucks

Lauren Bolbert is an embarrassment to Colorado. Just like Marjorie Taylor Green is an embarrassment to our good state of Georgia

These people are disgusting. Honestly, no matter what happens this year, we're all doomed.

Please make Kyle Clark as host for all debates including presidential debates in 2024.

The mods are not playing any games. Much appriciated.

This is fucking amazing. I’m from Michigan and I just spent 50 minutes watching this. Incredible moderation

The “art” of talking for a long time without ever answering the question you were asked is my least favorite thing to watch

The border is very complicated, and securing the border should be a priority. However, the cost of “rounding up” of immigrants to American tax dollars is untenable… the truth is all immigrants move to the US to work and provide a better life for their families. Instead of spending tax dollars “rounding” them up, let’s give them work authorization so they can support our economy and pay taxes. By not doing so, you are compelling these individuals to criminal activities and/or working under the table, which ultimately hurts American workers. These immigrants are here, so we might as well incorporate them into our economy while at the same time creating legislation that prevents the overwhelming influx of immigrants.

Wait.....the Colorado Republican party told all Republicans to pull their children out of public schools? WTAF?

Peter Yu, never heard of him but he came across the best

Huge THANK YOU to Chanel 9 for this circus

Boebert is asked: How would you lower food prices?? "Our energy plan, we're not exporting as much oil as we could be."

A debate amongst the worst people in America.

My final thoughts: Sonnenberg's final comments lead me to believe he can't/won't represent the whole district. He can't win the middle with that rhetoric. Kyle sure handed it to Lynch on his DUI and waving his gun around. Holtorf...Jesus...too much of a hothead. I can't handle another whiner. Flora seems to have big ideas but doesn't seem to have a plan to implement them. Too bad she didn't answer with any specifics. Yu seems willing to represent everyone in the district, which means he may be able to garner the "middle" votes as well. He impressed me the most tonight. This debate helped me rule out some of the candidates. Thanks.

Wow! You go, Kyle! You just picked up a new follower. And I hope you interview and/or moderate with candidates over the next 5 months. I will tune into all of them.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾🥰✌🏾💙💙💙

I came here to laugh at boebert but none of the others are any better.

I’m from Texas and i think Kyle C should do the presidential debates

These are the greatest moderators of any debate I've ever seen. Give them the presidential debate, please.

This is so embarrassing omg

Wow, these compares are great. They ask the serious questions and don’t let them bully through. That’s what it should be alike for the Presidential race.

36:53 “business in the theatre” hands 😂. 🔥

I’m officially a fan of Kyle Clark. He should be the one running.

Great moderators. But Kyle Clark did an absolutely phenomenal job here.

Boebert is a goofball, but she has "Great Hands"

I’m only watching this shitshow for Kyle Clark runs a master class on debate moderation. Thanks to redistricting I’m no longer in this terrible district.

I was very impressed with the moderators!! They ran a tight ship! 👌

Great job Mr. Clark! You are very good!

If Boebert's campaign was struggling to garner support before this debate, Kyle Clark just single-handedly dealt the coup de grace.

Can he please host all political debates from here on out? He held everyone accountable for going off on tangents and their own agendas. Felt like they were being asked to answer the questions not dance with them.

I can't believe these people will vote for criminal Trump! My prayer is that voters of Colorado will vote Blue 🗳

Great job Kyle Clark 👍🏻 You should be on national TV.

Kyle did amazingly on moderation, actually challenging politicians rather than allowing them to say whatever they want, and holding them accountable to the facts of the matter.

Please remember to thank Biden for giving you people the money to upgrade your infrastrutture.

I mean, no one expected this to NOT be a shit show, right?

Mods was awesome, the candidates outside of the asian man was straight dogshit, but im sure they'll pick the worst one so probley boebert

I wish more debates had moderators like these guys. Feels like real questions got asked and real answers were squeezed out of the candidates

50,000 Republicans didn't vote because you didn't inspire them to vote. Do you not take responsibility for anything Boebert?

jesus. its so rare to find a politician that actually talk about how they will help people. unfortunately, that is still true here. empty answers, debasing the question and topics, even when asked about things like inflation they just respond with something completely unrelated. sad.

how did they get them to agree to be moderated by these guys? just didn’t expect they’d act that way?

She lied about shooting the finger on the way out of the theater . I saw her do it .

God i wish every debate had this direct of a moderator

Peter Yu winner in my opinion.

They accidentally put up Ms Flora's resume next to Bobert,but i sussed it out immediately when i saw SMU graduate. It took Bobert 3 at bats to conquer to GED.

The most important things we pay for are housing, healthcare, and education. Republicans never seem to have ideas to tackle those things. Democrats enjoy spending money on these things but at least they are a topic of conversation. I never hear Trump nor any other Republicans talk about these things. It's always tax cuts or complaints about Democrats. Again there are never any ideas.

Holy crap the moderator actually moderating. Awesome job

This debate was extraordinary! Well done moderators!

Jesus Christ this was wonderful. Kyle Clark should moderate every damn debate for every damn party.

This is why we need to overturn Citizens United. I believe there are good Republicans and Democrats with REAL ideas. As voters we need to take our power back from Big donors.

They seem to be reasonable in their own bubble, but to the rest of us?

Excellent... job guys! So --- refreshing to see individuals running for office be held accountable for concise answers and time frames. Keep up the Great work for NBC 9 News and for the Wonderful people of Colorado.

Daaaaaamn now that is what I call moderating

Kyle should moderate the presidential debates.

We need more Kyle Clark’s in news media these days.

Kyle Clark woke up that morning giving ZERO fucks and determined to not take any shit. GOAT.

95% of the comments talking about how horrible all the GOP candidates are but unfortunately people will and going to still vote for them only because it’s their party instead of voting for what’s right for the country 🤷‍♂️😏smh 🤦‍♂️

miss Laura hasn't passed Nothing. Just her Trump's party. She's all party girl, that's all she has give me the money.

This is how you run a debate!

Girl you are done…..a photo is worth a thousand words. We are not interviewing him . Done now on to greene

That was absolutely savage. This is the kind of energy we need for ALL of the debates.

The bipartisan Border Security Bill, which Republicans blocked, would work to solve the immigrant & border question raised.

no one really answers the questions.

As an unaffiliated voter who lives in the 4th Congressional district and watching this debate, it is clear we cannot have Lauren Boebert as our next representative. The truth is that this is a heavy republican seat in Colorado, and it will be a republican who wins the general election. So, whoever wins the primary will be the next representative of our district. I can't imagine being represented by Boebert. I just checked the most recent poll, and it shows Boebert in 1st place and Peter Yu in 2nd. So, it looks like it will be between Boebert and Yu. Mr. Yu was very professional is willing to work with everyone. He has my vote! I encourage every republican and unaffiliated voter to vote for Peter Yu, otherwise it will be Boebert. I will be telling all my friends to vote this way. Hope you do too!

How about a new rule. Whenever a candidate doesn't immediately answer a direct question with a equally direct answer they get muted and skipped over for an entire round, resulting in less BS responses and giving more time to serious candidates who can appropriately answer the question they were asked.

Kyle Clark is an amazing debate moderator and I wish he was on a major news network! I only wish he had asked Deborah Flora more about her comments. She indeed failed to answer his question, but as a school psychologist who serves in public schools, I would like to know how she can blame the public school her autistic daughter was in for her daughter allegedly going from straight A's to nearly flunking out. That did NOT magically happen because she was diagnosed with autism (that's just silly), and pulling her from a public school and putting her in a private school would not magically fix it. Indeed, public schools are mandated by federal and state law to provide students with special needs with a free, appropriate public education, autistic students included. Private schools are not--they can reject any student they want. "School choice" and vouchers are just a ruse to get American taxpayers to pay the tuition for people who want to send their kids to religious schools or other private schools but can't afford it. They also starve public schools of funding so the whole American public school system will wither and die. Public schools are the backbone of America. They need to be funded and preserved, not starved so the only schools left in the country are private and primarily religious schools. Overall, this debate was entertaining as can be because watching these people get their feet held to the fire, called on their nonsense, and fight with each other like scorpions in a bottle was so revelatory. And Lauren Boebert? She loves engaging with people, she says! Somebody should've answered "Especially at the theater, huh?"

they sure spent a lot of time on the southern border for being from *checks notes* colorado...

This was a master class on how to moderate

Boebert whining is hilarious

Bo got buried

The moderators here, esp Kyle Clark, were fantastic. Wish we could have him on CNN.

Kyle Clark we solute you!
