In a nutshell:

  • Ramaswamy is a dollar-store Donald Trump (which alone should be saying something) that is banking his campaign on taking the most extreme and ridiculous right-wing position on any topic.

  • DeSantis still is little more than badly programmed AI stuffed in a human body.

  • Pence still has the personality and charisma of a wedge of cheese. Limburger, to be precise.

  • Christie showed all the get-up-and-go of a car out of gas, and seems to be banking more on his own name recogintion than anything else.

  • Burgum hobbled on crutches to the stage to basically say "Hey, I'm here! Guys? Guys!??!"

The others shouldn't have bothered showing up. And none of them seem to be really in touch with what their own voters want, let alone the public at large.

He has that Used Car Salesman scumminess to him.

Mike Pence made a much better showing, had dome good punches.

Overall no one from the GOP appears qualified for the job.

Every Republican is a 1970’s sleazebag car salesman. Their children, who were on stage last night, really highlights why we shouldn’t have trust fund kids run ANYTHING important.

Pence has the personality and style of a human cigarette.
