Sparks Fly at GOP Debate

Last night seven of the Republican primary candidates took the stage with one mission — to break out from the pack.

From Liz Peek at Fox News:

The winner of the evening was Gov. Ron DeSantis, for whom expectations were low. The audience was reminded of his achievements and why the Florida governor is running second in the GOP primary polls. 

Nikki Haley, from whom much was expected, failed to live up to her performance in the first debate, but held her own. 

Vivek Ramaswamy was not as annoying as in the first debate, but he has yet to show he is ready to be president. 

South Carolina Senator Tim Scott was more combative, as expected, but probably did not move the needle on his chances.

As for everybody else – with respect, it is time for Mike Pence, Chris Christie (seriously), and Doug Burgum to drop out of the race. Fewer contestants would mean less fighting for air time and less bickering; that would be a relief.

Former President Trump, who was in Michigan, told Fox New Digital, "I thought it was much more important, considering I have a 56-point lead, for me to be dealing with the UAW and the fact that the Biden Administration is going to destroy their jobs over the next two years by going all electric vehicle.”
