Missed opportunity so far: nobody has attacked the moderators.
DeSantis: We can decouple our economy from China’s without paying a high price if we focus on the key areas where it needs to happen–i.e., if we mostly don’t decouple.
No meaningful constituency is basing their vote on the candidates’ respective donors.
Oh, for heaven’s sake, ENOUGH WITH THE DESANTISLIES.COM plugging!
DeSantis: “We need more sea power . . . I’m a Navy guy.”
I couldn’t agree more. Recovering Americans’ trust in the military is crucial.
“Our farmers deserve better,” Haley says of U.S. trade policy. Will either candidate promise to end the “trade war” started under Trump and continued under Biden that is in large part responsible for closing off export markets for U.S. farmers?
This feels like a debate over who is the best classical liberal in Germany in 1932 or Russia in 1916.
An observation: It is difficult to tell whether Haley and DeSantis really hate one another, or more accurately hate this campaign and life itself. Both seem ill-tempered in general, perhaps at the futility of it all.
Dominic, I’ve seen yard signs here in Iowa say “Reynolds endorsed,” and DeSantis mentions it at every campaign stop and in just about every campaign ad. So I don’t think too many Iowans are unaware of the fact that governor Reynolds endorsed him.
You’d think DeSantis would respond to the Haley attack over campaign spending by saying, It’s going to pay off when I beat you in Iowa.
