    Feel free to have your own opinion on the importance of the VP. I don’t have a burning desire to sway your opinion.

    Agreed. Dark Brandon is dropping 300 on Trump again.

    1. My predictions suck
    2. You misinterpreted from the get go which may have been my fault. I simply was stating that T/H would beat B/H. For the record at the moment I think T/most, but all VPs would too. The pt I wanted to make is exactly that Haley would NOT impact the election

    Where is Nikki’s Trump Lies dot com website? Just Desantis. Hmm. Maybe she is a “birdbrain” as Trump calls her?

    And given the way they essentially gave the Orange One a free pass they didn't even attempt to be relevant.

    DeSantis bobs his head when he talks, and Haley waves a hand. Personally I would have liked to see her swat his head a couple of times in the debate. Violence!

    Trump? He wasn't there, but if you'll notice whenever he talks he waves his hands back and forth in front of him like he's mashing something invisible.

    What an irritating bunch. Which the nicest thing one can say about Trump.

    First female president (with 2 octogenarians racing to the grave...).

    Well, provided we can restore a consensus that women still exist, and that these two ladies, are in fact specimens of women folk.

    I think the debate expectations have gotten low enough for DeSantis that he's exceeding them now with some improvement since the early ones. I still think she won on style at least. I didn't go research all of their claims about each other lying.

    I am not sure. On style she killed him. His head bobbing and goofy movements were extremely off putting. He had to be shushed by moderators multiple times. She was fairly elegant and respected the debate rules.

    On substance I am unable to judge since they both are terrible. She has a far more adult view of international issues. I thought it was pretty smart that her lies page anticipated every single Desantis attack. Well organized. She also effectively criticized his fledgling campaign and didn’t denigrate Florida other than to point out high cost of living and insurance disaster. He made it seem like he thought South Carolina was a shit hole.
