DeSantis: nag nag nag voice


I can just hear Ron complaining to his waitress at Applebee’s that his steak is too pink.

You haven't figured out yet that Democrats are campaigning for Trump ?


I know they’ve charged him with 91 felonies, put a gag order on him, and are trying to convict him asap.

I also know they’re not worried at all about any of these other guys.

Draw your own conclusions.

She's a Trump fan so not surprising.

I think DeSantis slightly helped himself tonight primarily because of how bad everyone else was tonight.




He, like Burgum, avoided getting drug into the gutter which was good for them.

He's very wooden and rehearsed which can be a turn off to a lot of people. He knows his stuff but he obviously wasn't off the cuff. Really needs to work on that. He'll wreck most anyone on policy but how he communicates it will put you to sleep.

Nixon might be a good comparison.

Vivek out interrupts Hannity. Amazing. Never thought I'd see it happen.

Boring and competent are good. I don't care if he's giving speeches while doing handstands.

A lot of Ron’s problems are solved by a narrower field. If it’s just him, Trump, and Vivek, he can shoot from the hip as we’ve seen him do in Florida without losing margins to other “safe” candidates. Like someone concerned with how he phrased his position on tort reform is going to run to Trump?

Overall, tonight was disappointing. I was hoping to see some separation occur and I don’t think it’s going to happen. The Republican Party needs to sit Asa, Christie, and Pence down and show them out of this primary.

I'm fine with it but I know how way too many voters are.

Pence on cnn talking about how he chose America over Trump.

I knew cnn would pick out Pence for the big interview. CNN absolutely slobbering over Pence. “he was an absolute presence on that stage tonight.”

CNN making fun of DeSantis and laughing at him: “he needs more debate coaching hahaha.”

She'll never win the nomination but Haley beats Biden in a landslide in the general.

I agree but it comes down to polling.

Hopefully those clowns torpedoed their numbers.

Trump was the only one who could've won 2016, but he's the only one who can lose 2024 (and 2020 for that matter)

While not her biggest fan I think she would attract a % of a demographic that would never vote for trump.

CNN with Vivek now:

- Asking him about Haley’s Ukraine rant

You don’t have foreign policy experience and it shows

Vivek: “their experience sucks. The results speak for themselves. They’ve been disastrous for years”

CNN: “maybe some mistakes were made by republicans and democrats but what about Ukraine?”

Vivek: “I’m ending that war.”

CNN: how?

Vivek: cutting funding for it

CNN: how do you get Zelensky to agree to that?

Vivek: he doesn’t get a say lol he’s just taking our money. This isn’t a two way street. Funding for the war stops. War stops. Zelensky can like it or not, don’t care. I’ll make sure they keep their independence but nothing more.

CNN: thank you
