NIKKI HALEY will likely hit VIVEK RAMASWAMY over his isolationist-like foreign policy views. \
MIKE PENCE will lean into his own role on Jan. 6 and chide an absent DONALD TRUMP for putting personal self-interest ahead of the Constitution.
CHRIS CHRISTIE will go after everyone and their mother. TIMSCOTT will more than likely be his authentic Mr. Congeniality self, with his aww-shucks-like quips and references to Scripture.
DeSantis will be taking incoming fire from all sides.
For Republicans who are only just tuning in, tonight is the real start of the GOP primary. And even without Trump on stage, the evening promises to be one for the history books, as the eight candidates seek a standout, viral moment to catapult them into second place in the polls.
@OffendedAmnestyLibertarian8mos8MO
Vivek Ramaswamy just paraphrased Jordan Peterson on the debate stage by addressing the decline of national identity in the United States. "We live in a dark moment, and we are in the middle of a cold cultural civil war."
Pence is delusional by saying that Americans are full of patriotism and pride.
DeSantis comes in and points out the cause of it: George Soros and the Soros-funded district attorneys. He points out, correctly, that he is the only governor who has taken on Soros directly by firing Soros' puppets and he promises to do it on a national level.
@ObsessedWhitingRepublican8mos8MO
Vivek Ramaswamy expertly echoed Jordan Peterson's insight and shed light on the current decline of national identity in the United States. We are indeed engulfed in a dark moment, witnessing a cultural civil war. Pence's perspective fails to acknowledge the reality of our fractured nation.
@ZealfulPlatypus8mos8MO
Was Burgum the only one who said leave abortion to the states???
@PassionateLardDemocrat8mos8MO
So far, Gov. Doug Burgum is the only Republican to take Nino Scalia's position on abortion and the constitution.
(IT'S NOT A FEDERAL ISSUE!!!)
@9DRRZJZ8mos8MO
It's wouldn't seem so to people who don't know the true ideology of the Founding Fathers. In fact, they believed that there is a Higher Law than any human government's law (obviously human government is pure evil, can we not agree?) called the Law of God (and he is obviously pure perfection and justice, can we not agree?) So the Constitution is the highest HUMAN law of the land, and since God has given us all natural rights, the first and most immediate being the right to life, it would be AGAINST the spirit of the Constitution and everything our country stands for to allow 80 plus million children to be murdered on an industrial scale EVERY SINGLE YEAR. This is not a question of Constitutionality since we're talking murder.
@eXecutiveTerry8mos8MO
Founding fathers would say abortion is a case of states rights.
@9DRRZJZ8mos8MO
Allow me to explain further the concept of natural rights, which we should all know: Government doesn't give us rights, God gives us them from the time of conception. Rights to life, to liberty, to private property, and a host of others, but the first three are the triumvirate of the most important natural rights. Before we form governments, we are in what Thomas Hobbes calls a "State of Nature" where "life is nasty, brutish, and short." To protect our rights, we agree to form government, which is a pure and abominable, but regrettably necessary in some instances,… Read more
@FalconBarryRepublican8mos8MO
Ramaswamy with the biggest applause thus far.
@TomatoeChris8mos8MO
Vivek opens with an Obama line. Lol, incredible.
@RiceFrankie8mos8MO
Smart decision by DeSantis to shut down the Jan. 6th question
Mike Pence: Why aren't we talking more about how I upheld the Constitution?
@Gr4ssrootsKitten8mos8MO
I thought DeSantis would deal with constant incoming, instead about half way though he’s unscathed and has seemed to get the most applause
@ThirdPartyOwl8mos8MO
Vivek has not said a word since Chris Christie body slammed him
Noticable
@WidgeonEleanor8mos8MO
As long as Vivek isn’t talking, we’re actually hearing some actual positions on issues.
@Elect0ralCod8mos8MO
Nikki Haley hits Ron DeSantis, Mike Pence, and Tim Scott for supporting bigger spending under the Trump administration:
“Biden didn’t do this to us; our Republicans did this to us, too ... Trump added $8 trillion to our debt and our kids are never going to forgive us for this.”
@TradeTariffCod8mos8MO
DeSantis was pretty clever in rolling federal spending under both Biden and Trump into the same thing and blame them both for lockdowns.
@9DRRZJZ8mos8MO
@W3lfareLucy8mos8MO
First zinger of the debate: Mike Pence
hits Vivek Ramaswamy, says “now is not the time for on the job training.”
Ramaswamy hits back - asks if that was a rehearsed line from a Super PAC - insinuates Pence is a “Super PAC puppet.”
@DecimalOcelot8mos8MO
Vivek uses too many words. He comes across as slick. This guy sold a fake drug and made a billion dollars.
@PlatypusDickRepublican8mos8MO
Vivek is a joke that only the most gullible imbeciles would even consider supporting. He is a snake oil salesmen and he will be down to 2% by January 15th.
@9DRRZJZ8mos8MO
Unless of course he keeps up his meteoric rise as he has been doing for months on end
@9DRRZJZ8mos8MO
"Too many words?" At least he isn't using logical fallacies like your Uncle Mike.
@RelievedOrange8mos8MO
Just as I predicted, Fox News brought up CLIMATE CHANGE before immigration.
@9CJ6CB67mos7MO
And it lasted for like 20 seconds before half the argument was immigration.
@MantisHailey8mos8MO
Doug Burgum is soooo happy to be here.
@9DRRZJZ8mos8MO
Can't take my eyes off the eyebrows
@CrowTimRepublican8mos8MO
Ron Desantis sounds like a robot.
Nikki Haley went straight for the jugular with a great answer.
Crowd excited for Vivek.
@9DRRZJZ8mos8MO
Ron DeSantis sounds like a leader ... if you call keeping your cool in the midst of heavy fire and not getting involved Vivek, Pence, and Haley's childish squabbles "robotic" I'm sure he's darn proud to be a robot
@FranchiseSnipe8mos8MO
Asa Hutchinson is getting VICIOUSLY BOOED by the entire audience at the GOP debate for saying Donald Trump should be disqualified from running for President over January 6.
@CivilLibertiesTermite8mos8MO
Four minutes of talking and Nikki is already playing Hillary Clinton. I'M A WOMAN! VOTE FOR ME!
@9DRRZJZ8mos8MO
Yeah we don't need that
@PopulistBear8mos8MO
No-one cares what you did, Asa Hutchinson. You have no chance and nothing interesting or original to say.
@Bl4ckBoxHaileyIndependent8mos8MO
Ron Desantis sounds pre-recorded. Fighting the ghost of Trump and Fauci rather than the people on stage next to
him.
Pence giving a lot more fight than I expected.
Vivek still has the crowd.
@IntuitiveAmnesty8mos8MO
"I've got news for you Vivek..."
The last VP going neg on a guy who was trying to get a Daily Wire gig 10 mins ago, getting booed for trumpeting experience
Today's GOP
@RuffsJeff8mos8MO
Why does Vivek call it “US” President?
@AffectedWigeonRepublican8mos8MO
Nikki Haley with some fire
