Nikki Haley came out with this gem. "In the 2024 budget Republicans asked for 7.4 billion in earmarks and Democrats asked for 2.8 billion, so you tell me who are the big spenders."

Thanks Nikki.

GOP voters don’t actually care about spending or budgets. Donny knows this. This is why he has such a stranglehold on the party: he actually understands what motivates the voters!

I might be wrong, but I don't think DeSantis has moved the needle on likeability so far. He seems wound too tight compared to the others. Even Pence seems a little more relaxed, and he's so stiff he's practically without movable joints normally.

And DeSantis has a prominent Howdy Doody head bobbing going on. (don't you like these substantive observations?)

Pence is out of control. It's turned into a cage match. I think someone threw a chair into the ring.

I suspect Hutchinson will be first out. Christie likely never had a chance anyway, but he may hang around a little longer to pound a podium. Not sure if anyone else will go out for a at least another 2 weeks. I don't even know the guy on the end, without seeing his name again. He sounds okay, but I don't think he's going to pick up further support.

Ramaswamy is the closest thing to kook on the stage. I can't figure out what his overall demographic will be. I don't see him bringing on any Democrats I know of to vote for him. Have no idea about independents. Maybe he could turn some very young Democrats.

I didn’t watch the debate, but basically followed it on Twitter.

Saw a lot of people say he is a good debater, but crazy.

It seems like Ramaswamy is going for the Trump crowd on the off chance Trump backs out. I need to read a little bit about Tim Scott as I am not familiar with him but he seems likeable.

I'm already taking a stab at his future nickname if he sticks around. Rama Swampy
