He's pro American only in allowing the money laundering to continue unabated.

Whether one likes Zelensky or not, true conservatives stand for freedom, including that of Ukraine.  Putin is an evil thug for whom assassination would be most appropriate.

Did Vivek say that reverse racism isn't racism?

I think each candidate should have been able to answer each question when it was asked.

Vivek Ramaswamy says he believes Trump was the best president of the 21st century...

He's right but considering what we've had in the 21st century that isn't saying a hell of a lot!

This is what the GOP would sound like without Trump. Be careful what you wish for. The muscle memory of the old Republican Party is strong. Neocons. Warmongers. Boring. This is a branding disaster save for Vivek.



I don't believe Swamy won this debate....he sounded like a used-car salesman..apologies to used care salesman...

Can we PLEASE stop with the "raise your hand if you support this complex and nuanced position" crap. This is a debate, not a school room.

I actually like that.  It forces each of them to take a clear stand on an issue in far less time than rambling answers.  Wish there would have been more of it.

Ron has his talking points down...

Could have gotten in a good shot at Pence on that one too.

I don’t think a guy who never served in our military needs to question the patriotism of the guy who actually did. And playing Call of Duty doesn’t count, Vivek. #GOPDebate

Vivek isn't running against Trump.  He's running against DeSantis.

Until Trump is out, if he is out, they are all running against Trump. So far my opinion of Vivek hasn't changed, still don't like him, and Trumps surrogate did nothing to change my opinion of him either :shrug:

I was pissed at DeSantis for dodging the question on whether Pence was right, but he did answer it in the end.  Nice to see they all backed Pence.  Although I don't think Ramaswamy said anything.

Also think Burgundy and Hutchinson were wasted spots.  Shrink it down to the other 6 for the next one.

Clearly, there was only one candidate on that stage tonight that Trump is afraid of.
