Brutus, Judas and Benedict Arnold are making room in their cell for Mike Pence.
Nikki was polished and comfortable but I don’t think Tucker took her that seriously. He could’ve pressed her on Ukraine as the candidate with key foreign policy experience but he didn’t even ask. She didn’t hurt herself.
Vivek was soft-balled and allowed to talk about vision and why he’s running. And that’s fine and he does these things well. But it doesn’t mean he was treated like the actual politicians running.
DeSantis was a but anxious and fidgety but didn’t hurt himself like Pence or Scott. He has no charisma and gave expected answers trying to appear more MAGA and throw shade at Trump. He didn’t change my mind. At this point I am not interested in voting for him, just watching because he’s considered the front running challenger to Trump.
I didn’t waste my time with Asa.
This wasn’t a venue for Trump because can’t work the crowd in his way. He’s not a policy wonk, he’s a big picture guy and can ramble in his answers. He could have showed up but it could have only hurt him.
