Debate day….

[George K]

Vivek: "Everyone has their pre-packaged slogans out. Now let's talk about issues."

[George K]

Christie: "We're listening to a guy who says he's a 'skinny guy with a funny last name.' Well, the last time we heard that was from Obama.

Vivek: "Yeah and you hugged him."

Gloves are really off tonight.

[Mik]

Vivek is not looking too good. Nikki is the adult in the room.

[Copper]

Oliver Anthony, first question

[Horace]

Vivek is overboard with the antics. And calling climate change a hoax probably won't help him as far as ideas and policies go.

[Mik]

Pence is scripted. Not a chance in the world. VP was a fatal move. Christie needs a job.

The Thatcher woman thing was cheap

As was the bought and paid for thing

And the skinny thing

"DeSantis attacking the hand raise question is good. Hand raise questions are bullshit."

It's a presidential debate, not third grade.

[George K]

Hutchinson and Burgrum (sp?) are getting no air whatsoever.

[Mik]

I like Burgum so far and I agree it’s a state issue. And should be.

[George K]

"It's a commercial break on Fox, which is nice if you're interested in buying gold and/or Gold Bond Medicated Powder with your reverse mortgage."

Me too, so far. But he's got no chance.

[George K]

Not much DeSantis...

[George K]

"Who's losing?"

IMO, Pence.

[Mik]

DeSantis looks ok on crime.

From the blogosphere:

"These hollowed-out cities... this is a symptom of America's decline."

That's DeSantis, sharply correcting Brett Baier for claiming crime is rising in Florida. Miami? Sure. Florida, no.

I love it when candidates attack the false premise.

Lets me know they're a fighter on the issues, not on the quips.

IMO, Pence.

I don’t know what made him think he had a shot. He was a good governor. Not so much a VP.

I don't think the moderators liked his answer to the hand-raise question.

[George K]

Hutchinson is disqualified because he pronounced it "fentanol."
