who are you and why do I care ?

I'm the one who read your drivel and observed that you sound vaxxed.

Whether you care or not is unimportant.

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.

DeSantis is the only one who looked good tonight.

[Golden Eagle]

My ratings so far:

1. DeSantis, including the best line of the night, saying that hearing his first child’s heartbeat was the best moment of his life.

2. Christie, a distant second, but had the second best line of the night, calling the Fraudster a “Chat GPT Amateur Obama.”

3. Scott, who started slow, but has been right on all the points, even if they somewhat followed exactly what DeSantis had already said.

4. All the rest, except...

5. Ramaswamy, who further exposed himself is a class clown prankster, with a smart mouth, and unable to stay on one subject for more than a single sentence.

DeSantis is again on point. Forceful, direct.

[basalt]

another sparkling answer....

Canned response

[Tell It Right]

Agreed. Until today I’ve been in the camp the Prez Candidate DeSantis is a letdown compared to the Governor DeSantis many of us FReepers have attaboyed a lot. But tonight I’ve liked much of DeSantis in the debate.

[nwrep]

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

[Engraved-on-His-hands]

Ramaswamy talks about closing down some government departments in including the Dept. of Education.

You shouldn’t smoke pot and post on FREE REPUBLIC

[Political Junkie Too]

This is about as close a true debate as we can get. It is really, really good. We are seeing real characters and it will have results.

I agree with you on this point.

I think they all remember how Chris Wallace, Megyn Kelly, and Brett Baier handled the 2016 debate and are having none of it.

[Engraved-on-His-hands]

Burgum rambles something about innovation in education.

[nwrep]

Yes, but Ramaswamy lost tonight. Got beaten up.

[Tell It Right]

Rams is hitting it outta the park on school choice and quit incentivizing single parenting.

[Reno89519]

Yes, he says good things, just needs to keep in allotted time.

[dfwgator]

Burgum failed on that one. He’s done.

[Reno89519]

I suggest Haley as Education secretary.
