If, like me, you find the presidential debate format a rather meaningless exercise, you will be astonished at what one-on-one interviews by a skilled interrogator can accomplish.
At the Iowa family Leader conference, Tucker Carlson interviewed several leading contenders for president Tim Scott, Asa Hutchinson, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Ron DeSantis.
If the participants thought this was going to be another tongue bath, they were certainly surprised. He asked hard questions and some of their answers exposed their muddled thinking. At least two of them – Asa Hutchinson and Mike Pence -- were clear losers and can now be safely considered out of the running. If you haven’t had an opportunity to listen to all the interviews on the site, I’ll summarize some of the highlights.
Tucker chided Pence for being more concerned about defending the Ukraine than with dealing with domestic problems.
Tucker: "Where's the concern for the United States?"
Pence: "That's not my concern. Tucker I've heard this routine from you before. That's not my concern."
Pence tried to duck this gaffe by claiming it was out of context, but the video is undoctored and the response is clear. I believe his campaign is now dead.
He offered up an extended clip in which he said, "Anybody that says that we can’t be the leader of the free world and solve our problems at home has a pretty small view of the greatest nation on Earth. We can do both.
“And as president of the United States, we will secure our border, we will support our military, we will revive our economy and stand by our values. And we will also lead the world for freedom under my administration. I promise you.”

Poor you. I don’t see Tucker as my leader. Tucker is just one of many voices willing to speak out. Something we rarely see anymore.
Why that bothers you so much is your own problem because I really don’t care.
And please don’t put us in with the truly degraded culture of the left. You seem pretty self important and self righteous.
Your opinion is noted and I, myself, reject it.
Tim Scott: America needs ‘biblically sound leadership’ to combat a ‘culture of grievance’
Compare this story to the Tucker Carlson Story.
Compare how they turned out.
Scott a pathetic buttboy of the Chinese owned Mitch McConnell who champions the cause of Lisa Murkowsky and perpetual war.
Tucker an American patriot that champions the cause of sovereignty for Americans, love for family, and peace.
Nah, you can keep you globalist pretend Christian Tim Scott. He is owned.
If you think back, it wasn’t all that long ago that we bought the script Pence was peddling. Just like the neocon Shrub family high and mighty hogwash.
Seeing it now is revolting.
++++++++++
If there is one positive thing you can take from all of this is that the truth has begun to see the light of day. No matter your opinion of PDJT, he has exposed the scum of the earth that runs the USG. And that includes a very broad swath - media, academia, entertainment, politicians. All of it.
What has been seen can not be unseen.
Exactly!
He is right about everything he said though. The truth hurts.
That being said I am voting for Trump. Trump is the best choice in spite of his errors and flaws.
I strongly disagree. Did Tucker ask any impertinent questions? Who is better or fairer?
are you a real person, or a bot?
Chris Wallace: “I’d like to talk about climate change”
Joe Biden: “So would I”
I would ask you the same. If you like lockdowns and big pharma blank checks, plus mail in ballots n daca amnesty of trump then either you’re a Marxist light like him or a bot.
Again it is about Tucker Carlson, not the candidates or voters.
Messenger worship has been the culture of the left in the past. I hate to see it dominate here.
Well then, go somewhere else where you don’t have to see it.
Problem solved! Bye bye
“Tim is a talented guy, and you have other very talented people.”
More people of FR should have the attitude of this guy.
Done.
I have been thinking the same thing since I first heard him speak on the issues.
Trump was on Maria Bartiromo's Sunday show today and said that he thought there were some candidates on stage that would be good for Cabinet positions in his Administration.
Sure, does that make them relevant as presidential candidates?
They are not relevant in that context.
So, who is actually better than Tucker?
Yes I am a Marxist bot. Your reasoning is impeccable.
Better in which sense?
Better morally and ethically?
Better as a messenger of the news?
Better as the subject of news? ... which is what I objected to.
Trump, Scott, Haley, Pence, Biden...even Kennedy are legit subjects of the news. Taxes, spending, regulation are legit subjects of the news. They are the players, so to speak.
Tucker as both a player who is topic of the news and is also a messenger who brings us the news is a conflict of interest. The dual role is typical of the left media. We should not imitate them and just become another ABCMSNBCCNN
