There were two winners. First and foremost Trump. He avoided the nonsense that would have ensued and more importantly avoided having to respond to bs questions on his various indictments that could potentially have him violating a gag order and being held in contempt and potentially jailed. You know Christie would have made an even bigger fool of himself goading Trump.
The second winner was Vivek. And I’m saying that based on empirical evidence. Many more people googled him than any of the rest which means he will now have national name recognition and people becoming familiar for his platform.
A lot of people liked Nikki Haley and were impressed by her attempted put down of Vivek on foreign policy but just like Magoo having experience means nothing. She is a Bush neocon globalist who never met a war she didn’t like and like Pence and others are trying to resurrect the Domino Theory that got us into Vietnam. You can have experience and still be an idiot.
RDS did okay but wasn’t inspiring.
So I think Vivek will rise a little and nobody else will change at all. And none of them have a chance at the nomination.
