For anybody else that watched all or part of the debate: thoughts?

I think I still prefer Trump and DeSantis is probably still my second pick.

I don’t really trust Vivek cuz he seemed to duck out on a straight answer to the 2A question. Since I’m a bit of 2A fanatic that was a major red flag (pun intended). Probably didn’t help that I saw something online earlier about him having taken Soros money for business school.

I went in not knowing jack shit about most of the others but especially unknown to me were Nikki Haley, Asa Hutchinson, Tim Scott, and Doug Burgum. Fuck; I probably wouldn’t even have known who Christie was either if it wasn’t for Alice making fun of him all over here lol. Don’t think I’m a fan of Hutchinson at all.

Was kinda surprised that I mostly liked a lot of Haley and Burgum’s points. Not sure I agreed about Ukraine/Israel but she did make some fair points even on that. But if Trump and DeSantis weren’t there, I’d consider them.

Still wish my boy Josh Hawley had run tho

Don’t trust Haley she is a total deep state fraud. I only watched a little and Burgum did come across well.

Why do you prefer the Father of the Death Jab who presided over the denial of your civil rights and the ballooning of the federal deficit?

  you mean trump? yeah, he ain’t perfect and there’s plenty of stuff i don’t like about him. the deficit thing sucks but i think was inevitable when coming in after dems that fucked over military. aside from the vaccine shit, he’s almost as old as biden, i think he’s overly childish ~~some~~ a lot of times, and is pretty divisive (less chance of grabbing moderate votes cuz of msm cucks).
  
  he doesn’t seem likely to cave to dems on 2A, kicking trannies out of where they don’t need to be, or securing border. but honestly, i feel like desantis wouldn’t cave on any of that stuff either.
  
  idk, guess i just feel like he’s been there once already and know’s the playing field whereas desantis would need to get his bearings a bit before he really shines.
  
  who presided over the denial of your civil rights
  
  are you meaning the covid jab or something else? not really sure

I was not impressed by Haley’s “I’m a warmonger with a vagina”.

  yeah that part wasn’t so great. i guess the thing I liked about her was pointing out the limitations of what the position of president can actually do. I feel like a lot of the debate is basically what amounts to “I’m for this” but realistically if you had house or senate packed with dems, then a republican pres would still be pretty limited. was just refreshing to see someone actualy acknowledge that i guess.
  
  But like I said, wasn’t my 1st or 2nd pick or anything.
