I don't think Ramaswamy expected to be hit so hard tonight. He should have, if the polls were true that he was rising and eating into DeSantis' 2nd place position.

One thing compared to 2016: I don't recall the "political class" attacking an outside candidate this hard last time.

In 2016, Carly Fiorina was the "business" candidate (besides Trump), and nobody was going after her in the condescending way that Christie, Pence, and others are going after Ramaswamy.

Maybe this is an after-effect of the Trump presidency that past office-holders are treating the presidential elections as an exclusive club that only they are entitled to run for.

Ramaswamy is almost begging for the smack down. What a loser.

Yep...Ramaswamy is a political nobody who’s been handing a group of experienced pols their hats in the polls. If Carly was considered a threat, more than her hairdo would have been under fire.

Ramaswamy clearly lost tonight. Tomorrow he will announce he is leaving the Republican party and becoming a Greenocrat.

Oh Carly didn’t need to have anyone going after her, her reputation for destroying HP, and being a perenial loser in her attempts at various office before had already painted her.

Ramaswamy is a fraud, from top to bottom, he knows how to tell folks what they want to hear, regardless of what his actual actions have been... Fraud from top to bottom, tried to warn folks about him... He is nothing more than a want to be Slick Willie with more melanin.
