“Any candidate who declared that ALL charges against Trump are totally bogus, and election interference and fraud would have skyrocketed in the polls. None did.”

Thanks for the summary.

That is why I did not watch the debates—these folks are gutless cowards—at best.

Yes. I’m in Iowa...have heard Vivek speak dozens of times. When he first came here, he talked alot about WHY he is running and what led him to his opinions. I’m a Trump supporter, but when polled, I tell them he’s my second choice. Several months ago, the pollster was like “who?”...lol.

That’s what I don’t understand. They have their own polling showing that Repubs believe this.

I guess they are thinking (hoping?) that the lawsuits will somehow take out Trump and they inherit the rubble.

The guy has given 15 totally different responsesregarding Trump’s decision not to debate. Frankly, when listening to these consecutively, he seems to be a fraud. A well-spoken fraud.

No, it's not a question of having natural born parents; it's a question of whether his parents were citizens when he was born.

But that horse left the barn with Obama and Harris. At least Bobby Jindal chose not to run and make it an issue.

I don’t see Trump as unruly at all. I see a republican party that has sided with democrats much too often over the years as bringing our political system to the brink of collapse. Now that is not just unruly it is down right reckless even hazardous to our nation’s future.

I’m not saying that Ramaswamy is presidential material. None of the people on that stage will be President. I’m saying that he did well enough in the debate to gain more support. We’ll see soon enough.

pick up Steadman at the airport, and float the off-ramp.

I thought it was his Samoan attorney.

What about the Fox News “spin-room” after-show with the “surrogate”?

They didn't really have a spin-room show like they did in the old days.

In the old days, they had roving reporters talking to each of the surrogates for a few minutes to get their post-debate spin. This time it was just Hannity interviewing the candidates one-by-one.

Yeah, the FNC post-debate spin room wasn’t as interesting as usual.

I totally agree. I don’t trust Ramaswamy at all.

Wow. Some obscure site called “The Dossier” and Fox News. Very credible sources. Spare me.

I just thought he was over the top. He was disruptive and disrespectful to the older candidates. It seemed like he was that kid in the class who thought they had all the answers but really didn’t. He was a bit naive. But with everyone else running, if he’s the nominee, he has my vote. The only ones I couldn’t even hold my nose for is Hutchinson and Pence. I’d think seriously about holding my nose for Christie but it’d be a last minute decision at the voting booth. It’d be so hard. The rest I’d vote for easily.

Ramaswamy, like him or not, shook up the proceedings. He hit MAGA bullseyes, but I must say it was fast and furious. He has a lot to learn about the media being the message. Can't see him winning the nomination in 2024...but he can be a player...maybe a cabinet post. If he excites the younger, energetic MAGA crowd and youthful independents; VP could be an outside possibility.

I really doubt Hutchinson, Pence, Christie, Burgum are going anywhere. Scott and Haley would bring some demographic etc. VP appeal to the ticket. At least , that's how I feel at this point.

The GOP hopefuls watch these incredibly political, almost completely-biased, even illegal charges leveled against Donald Trump, while seemingly blind to the likely possibility they might be leveled at them as well, if they step out of whatever "line" the Left has drawn today.

"Who cares ?
Trump was a coward."

Really..that's what you have to say?

Coward? The man has already, actually been President, and has a proven track record, which benefited every American.

He's also way ahead in the polls, no need to debate the deep state approved candidates.

And tomorrow, he's being indicted, arrested, and could be jailed for the rest of his life, because he stands for election integrity, and against the deep state.

Recall that this man is a multi-billionaire. He did not have to do any of this.

He, and his family, have been harassed, and threatened, this entire time, since he came down the escalator, and announced his bid to become President.

And even though he was dealing with constant attacks, and treachery, he truly, made America great again.

He did more to help out all American people, than any other president in my lifetime.

This country was thriving, in spite of Covid, and the lockdowns.

None of this can be said about any of the traitors at the so called "debate".

Now, let's look at the worst thing that happened today, in the news, while the debate ,(aka the gaslight-the-public-that-everything-is-normal event), was going on.

America's Mayor, Rudy Gulliani was indicted, and had to go to that horrible, lice infested jail, (Trump has to go to tomorrow), to be arrested.

Bernard Keric was with him, and he said it was sad, and like something you'd see in a third world corrupt country, where a dictator has his political opponent, and that opponent's supporters, thrown in jail before the election.

That is disturbing, to say the least.

Remember 9/11- when everyone looked to Rudy for strength and encouragement, during a very dark time?

He was, and always will be America's Mayor. Yet today he was put through this?

What has happened to America? She is a mere shell of her former self.

She has been infiltrated, and taken over, by criminals, globalist Marxists, and lying, greedy, schemers, solely concerned with their own gain.

President Trump is the only one who can withstand the attacks of these dark forces, and who has the knowledge and know-how to save the United States, and restore her fortunes.

The other candidates ne
