Tucker’s questions and focus shifted during the course of the day. Maybe these are tailored for each candidate but I was struck by him asking DeSantis about red tide in Florida. And, yes, each candidate got questions unique to them.

Long... yes, all-day binge. Just finished watching Tucker and DeSantis.

My notes on DeSantis:

"Common sense and sanity in traditional American values"
Good discussion on foreign policiy, tying to his military service and changing mission.
As a speaker, a criticism, he like others during the day, needs to give the audiance time to digest what he says and give them time to react. Maybe as simply as slowing down.
Dismisses Ukraine war as top priority, key is China. European NATO needs to step up, find sustainable peace. Goal is to get US out of Ukraine.
Like Scott, DeSantis good at picking up his topic instead of answering the question asked.
Strong argument against CBDC, no to unilateral Fed action.
Clearly knows how to arrive in DC, fire everyone, have people thousands of people ready, don't let bureaucrats take over. Fire people.
Will use executive power to fire FBI agents.
Will use pardon power to address unfair prosecution.
Sees Newsome as Biden replacement is the wings.

And some good zingers and bantering, e.g., about Hunter Biden's laptop.
