This debate has far too many people in it, even with five.
Miami—Anyone else counting how many times Ramaswamy says “neocon” tonight?
Vivek is running in the Tucker Carlson primary
Haley hits on the axis of evil that is Iran, China, and Russia.
Was just writing about how the question obnoxiously suggests the president should be telling Israel how to defend itself, and then Haley gracefully made the point.
Haley misses an obvious play with “Who is funding Iran? China…Russia…and now America.” Almost shocked she didn’t lean into the Iran deal.
Tim Scott finally gives an answer why he wants to be president and it is incredibly gauzy
RDeS: “I’m sick of hearing people blaming Israel just for defending itself.” Me too. Good line.
DeSantis just gets a fat fastball down the plate on Hamas and Israel and hits every point…and now every candidate onstage is awaiting Vivek’s response.
