Here are mine…


Christie will go after DeSantis and try to Rubio him with a nasty hit. Christie will be the most aggressive of the candidates.

Haley will go after Vivek for his foreign policy ideas and he will respond with a strong condemnation of US foreign policy.

Hutchinson will condemn Trump, call for the Republicans to condemn him, and call for the Party to return to the ways of old.

Scott will try to be optimistic and above it all.

DeSantis will focus on his record as governor but I hope he talks more about his ideas and what he will do as president and specifically contrast it with Biden.


Predictions?

Christie will have a stain from his pre-debate snack on his shirt.

Chris Christie will be an absolute shitshow trying to attack everyone and he’ll drop out soon after.

Christie is a government spokesman through and through. His world consists of government being in control of people lives

Christie and Pence won't do anything but attack Trump all night

DeSantis will try and take some shots at Trump but will fall flat

Tim Scott will be boring as frick

Vivek will steal the show with his fast talking and tell the people what they want to hear. He will be the clear winner of the night

The rest who cares they will hardly be noticed

The entire spectacle will be Trump centered, with maybe 10-15% content focused on Biden. It will be a contest to see who can be the most vicious against MAGA - minus Vivek. He will stay on the high road and be attacked for it. Christie will be the most nasty.

I think their attacks on Trump will backfire and in the end, I think it's the beginning of Vivek overtaking Ron for #2.

Agree with all of that.



DeSantis will attack Trump... with slights.



Over all, Trump will win.

Vivek has said in the last few weeks he doesn't plan to waste any more time/air on Trump. I sure hope that's true and he spends time mentally running circles around the others with actual policy substance.

I know he has an idea to raise voter age to 25 UNLESS you serve or pass the equivalent of a test to become a citizen. That'll rub most folks under 30 the wrong way but I actually like the idea. Even if you don't like the idea - it's still an idea.

Agree. I think Vivek has a great chance to be #2 come tomorrow, unless he blows it.

A Trump/Vivek ticket is what I really want in the end. With Vivek getting true high level Gov't experience and then another 8 years of him after Trump's 2nd term.

Agree with that for the most part. But DeSantis will need to talk about more than just his record. He also has to be prepared for Christie not just defensively. I'd guess that if Christie comes after him, he will hit him with Bridgegate etc aggressively.

Predictions:

1) Burgum will not be there OR he will be there in a cast in pain.

Burgum injures leg playing basketball

2) that most who say they won't be watching will be watching at some point tonight, even if from DVR later.

He has no other purpose in life. Sad.
