I have to know why you don’t want Trump back.

[kabar]

Christie is un-electable. He had an 8% approval level in NJ when he left.

[coalminersson]

we keep talking about 2028 including me, but that’s a long way off politically speaking.

[nutmeg]

Agreed. Hilarious fight between Haley and Scott. Paying more attention since we are new South Carolina residents/voters.

[TortReformer]

Ramaswamy and Burgum are the only ones seriously going to reduce the size of government

Scott VS Haley in a cage match

[Karliner]

Sounds like The View.
We are so screwed if any of those people are elected.

[Reno89519]

Yes, agreed. And that is why I liked Trump's speech tonight, less the name calling at the end. He had new content, no golden escalators, spoke of autos, energy, and Biden.

But he should have been at the debate. He's not competitive in 2024 except as a martyr. And except Christie and a brief mention by DeSantis, no one is even talking about Trump. He is not relevant.

[nutmeg]

How the heck did Christie even make it to tonight’s debate stage?

[Golden Eagle]

Scott VS Haley in a cage match

She'd take him out, the way this has gone tonight. She is boiling with energy, while he sounds like he's gasping for air.

[Political Junkie Too]

Watching the Stros v. Mariners. Will catch up on this thread when I watch the recording.

[Reno89519]

Why? He failed. He did EOs instead of negotiating permanent successes like DeSantis is doing in Florida. Trump promised a wall, even said Mexico would pay. We got 52 miles of new wall, and another 450 updated. He didn’t deport illegals, we have more. And I could go on and on.

[TornadoAlley3]

Dana’s class assignment failed. This is cringe.

[Jamestown1630]

I don’t like it when women think they have to act like men to best them - and I am a woman.

(Just now on my feed, she was coming across like the stereotype of a hysterical female - the ones men infuriatingly tell to ‘calm down’ :-)

[Reno89519]

He is presidential, despite some political views.

And here DeSantis put a stop to Perino's stupid question. Good for him.

[ncalburt]

Desantis is the best Gov in the country .
Snap out of it .

[Reno89519]

Perino’s question is an absolute fail, especially compared to the previous debate alien question.

[nutmeg]

YES. Dana PeRINO is SO overrated and full of herself.

Excellent leadership right there by Ron DeSantis in standing up to her.

[TornadoAlley3]

Christie votes Trump off the island. How will any of them catch up to his lead?

[Golden Eagle]

DeSantis and Christie nailed the voted off the island response. DeSantis was best, Christie was clever.
