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.
Quick rundown...
Scott... Good opener for the day, strong religious content. Leadership? Not convinced.
Hutchison... Totally out of step for today.
Pence... More concerned with Ukraine than US.
Haley... Good talk, experienced answers.
Ramaswamy... High school debater. No experience, life or otherwise. Just not credible and not ready for big leagues.
DeSantis... Experienced answers, energetic, prepared. Strong.
In order: DeSantis, Haley, and Scott. The others should go home.
As and once you've watch some or all, what do you think?
Sees Newsome as Biden replacement is the wings.I've been saying for months now that Biden will not run. His party knows how bad he is and that Trump would beat him, so no way they let him run. I'd say by September or so we'll see him state that he will not seek a 2nd term.
