This author and blogger stayed up to watch the Fox News Republican Presidential debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, quite a sacrifice, but seen as essential to understand the Republican Party mind!
Conclusions:
So called “winners”—Chris Christie, Nikki Haley
Holding their own–Mike Pence, Tim Scott
Horrifying and crashing—Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy
Having no impact—Asa Hutchinson, Doug Burgum
Two main thoughts:
Vivek Ramaswamy was attacked and vilified by Chris Christie, Mike Pence, and Nikki Haley, rightfully!
There is a major split on the issue of Ukraine—with Chris Christie, Nikki Haley, and Mike Pence speaking up for support, and Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy calling for an end of aid to Ukraine.
There is a clearcut refusal to attack Donald Trump, except by Chris Christie and Asa Hutchinson.
Further discussion will follow when there is time to analyze the effects of this debate.
All one can say for now is: thank goodness that Joe Biden is in the White House!
