The more Haley says to go to her website, the less I want to do it. And I didn’t want to do it to begin with.
Both candidates are scrounging for the few avenues of legitimate attack against one another, instead of the vast available opportunities for fair attacks on Trump and Biden. It’s like watching two people on a life raft in the middle of the ocean fighting over the last drop of water.
Ah, yes, Ron DeSantis, that famous Disney ally.
Strong answers on Iran and the Houthis from both candidates. It is clear U.S. personnel are under attack from Iran through proxies, and Biden is weak on this issue. They should be hammering on this more.
A little kicking around President Biden and Secretary Austin for not telling anyone about his surgery and his time in the ICU is a refreshing breath of fresh air. I doubt it will move any votes, but it’s a nice change from hearing about a Chinese-owned factory opening in South Carolina back during the Obama years, or the fact that Ron DeSantis voted to raise the debt ceiling back when he was a congressman for what feels like the hundredth time.
Haley on fire going after Biden for Lloyd Austin disappearing. An appropriate use of the military-spouse card.
Haley and DeSantis look rather silly trying to outdo one another on Israel, since there is so little perceptible daylight between them. Nikki Haley’s attacks on ultra-libertarian Thomas Massie (R-KY) are weird inside baseball stuff she’s trying to push to a larger audience, as evidenced by her refusal to use Massie’s actual name.
Criticizing DeSantis for campaigning with Massie is fair, but saying it shows he doesn’t support Israel is ridiculous. Both Haley and DeSantis would be strong on Israel.
Tapper asking if DeSantis would support mass removal of Gazans is a textbook example of trying to drive a wedge between DeSantis and CNN viewers, rather than asking questions that would allow Republican primary voters to pick the candidates who support their own views.
Haley says Israel doesn’t need America as much as America needs Israel, which, I mean, come on.
