Expectations for DeSantis were so unbelievably low in the debate last night and he still couldn’t clear the bar.

Shouty, screechy, pissy, and a bully.

Nikki Haley went in as donor bait and came out as donor bait. In another era, it would’ve almost been a break out, but it’s still won’t solve the orange problem.

Only jail will solve the orange problem. 🍊 

Let’s just dispense with the fantasy there’s a Mike Pence path.

Tim Scott has an audience of one and he played to him, but he’s not Big Show material

Vivek Ramasawmy is an agile little player to the incel demo, angling for a flood of SackS/Thiel money, and the running for vp.

He takes too much attention away from Trump. It’ll never happen.

Vivek also represents the most obviously anti-American, pro Putin candidate since Donald Trump. In that regard, he’s even less subtle than Trump was about wanting to give up Americas allies and interests around the world and roll over for a murderous dictator.

See?

He’s also just a dick.

Who does that sound like? There can be only one.

Are Christie? Meh; he signed the loyalty oath to get on that stage, something Will Hurd wouldn’t do. I almost admire Hurd for that. Almost; if he wasn’t a Republican.
 

Just a reminder that Yevgeny Prigozhin was under indictment for helping elect the man every person in the Republican debate says they will support if he wins Republican nomination.

Of course, I go back to the days of “Hanoi Jane,” when being opposed to the Vietnam war meant you were a real Commie, not an MTG Commie. So what went around came around, except these guys aren’t student protest leaders and Hollywood celebrities. So, yeah, this is worse. This is more like if Lindbergh had run for office.
