Donald Trump declared WINNER of second Republican debate in Daily Mail poll - even though he stayed away

Former President Donald Trump won the second Republican debate on Wednesday night by simply staying away, according to a snap poll of viewers for DailyMail.com.

But there was good news for challenger Ron DeSantis who was declared the most 'presidential' and the most 'competent' of the candidates who took the stage at the Ronald Reagan presidential library in California.

Analysts said DeSantis put in a more assured performance than the first debate when he disappeared from sight at times. This time, he dinged Trump directly and leant into his record as Florida governor to describe how he would lead the nation.

Yet in a sign of Trump's grip on the party base, a poll conducted by J.L. Partners found that 27 percent of viewers judged him to be the night's winner, pipping tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy by one point and DeSantis by 10 points.

Rather than appearing on stage to slug it out with his rivals, the former president headed to Michigan, as part of an effort to capitalize on the autoworkers' strike in a state that could decide the general election.

Agreed the Trump speech was informative and good for the UAW and Michigan. The debate was a barely record and fast forward replay worthy.

My favorite quote on Twitter regarding Christie’s comments during this debate:

Trump’s speech last night was great. I didn’t watch the debate afterwards as I didn’t want to ruin it. I just watched a few clips and it doesn’t look like I missed much.

I did watch the first debate.

Good point! I saw a clip of Christi saying something about Trump should defend his policies. I don’t know which policies he was referring to.

What of Biden’s 90 second visit to Michigan? Last minute because Trump was going? How did media portray that?

These are not debates.

They are communist fealty shows.

The establishment GOP (eGOP) candidates all bend down and kiss the ass of their communist hosts and beg to be the candidate by demonstrating how much they will sell out Americans.

"Biden did not show up for the 2020 race and look what happen - he got elected"

Like hell he did.

Vivek Ramaswamy took a beating when his business ties with China was talked about.
