Uh, what..
Anyways I have heard a few long form interviews with him so I am familiar with his platform. He is basically what trump was in 2016. Independently wealthy businessman without a selfish political agenda. I’m listening to this dumb debate right now, about half way through it. It is painful listening to all these politicians just saying words. Every now and then Vivek gets his turn and brings life into the conversation and the crowd erupts every time. Desantis isn’t saying anything of substance. I’m picturing Vivek and a bunch of cardboard cutout Pepsi ads from the 80s with a speaker attached to their mouth. There is no question who the candidate should be given the options.
Nikki Haley will get votes from women.
Pence will get votes from Jesus freaks.
Yunkin will get a vote from Scott smith.
Desantis will get votes from his fanatics.
Vivek will come in second to Trump.
"all of these guys are just reading scripts from thinktanks" - Vivek
(reads off precanned lines that looked like they were a cocktail of 4chan, rumble chat sections, and old trump speeches) - vivek also
loved that he was the only guy on stage with any amount of energy, but he's also clearly pandering to the trump base which will hurt him long term.
Christie getting booed into silence for like 2 minutes straight was comical. he's just cannon fodder with name recognition.
Desantis is clearly confused on how to both answer and dodge a question in one go, he either blatantly diverts or answers poorly. he's got enough steam to get better.
Haley has my vote thus far, she's the only one (sans Trump) with a shot at beating biden in general.
ND and AK govs fizzled with only a few highlights, AK gov looks like an irl vampire, ND gov def owns a few too many skidoos.
Pence got lucky, no one challenged his jan 6th choice so he got to do a precanned walk on the only subject he was there to discuss, election fraud. and even he skirted it with muh constitution.
Tim Scott's entire purpose is to drag along then campaign in general as SC looks dicey. he speaks to slow and says too little.
