The second Republican debate of the 2024 presidential primary has just begun in Simi Valley, California.
Seven candidates have qualified for a spot on the stage: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Vice President Mike Pence, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum. Former President Donald Trump, the current front-runner, has opted again to skip the event.

I watched it. Despite the interruptions it was interesting to hear each of their positions on a variety of topics. Christie is disgusting. He said Trump “only built 52 miles of the wall.” Pence was pathetic, as usual. Vivek was the most informative and an animal on illegals. Overall, DeSantis came out on top, and is my #2 choice after The Donald. Too bad he wouldn’t be his Veep for a transition in 2028.
Pure projection, lefty.
