RT @NoahCRothman: I cannot for the life of me see how Russia’s war in Ukraine bears even a passing resemblance to Iraq save for the subtext….

Hard to pick a winner. Mostly deflating. They talked over one another too much. Moderators lost control early, never re-established it. Losers? Tim Scott needs to rethink his candidacy, same for Burgum, Pence, maybe Christie, unless polling shifts. Clear the stage. #GOPDebate.

Not a good night for the Republican Party, & not a good night for the Republic. Unserious answers. Unserious format. Our nation deserves better leaders, but we get the leaders we choose. We get the behavior we incentivize. A sad night for a great nation. #GOPDebate.

Ok. Christie gets aggressive on Trump and his divisiveness. Not sure it will matter for him. DeSantis or Haley would need to do it for it to matter. #GOPDebate.

The man leading doesn't show up. No one talks about his indictments. No one pronounces him unfit for the office. No one highlights his character flaws. Going right after him may not be a winning strategy, but avoiding him is a losing strategy. #GOPDebate.

Can Republicans win in AZ on abortion? Christie says yes, it is possible. "You have to be pro-life for the entire life, not just the nine months in the womb.". #GOPDebate.

Abortion question: DeSantis asked about how to win over independent or pro-choice voters. "I reject this idea that pro-lifers are to blame for mid-term defeats. " He drags Trump into the discussion. #GOPDebate.

So, it is trash night. I had to take a break to get stuff ready. I asked my daughter, "did I miss anything?". Daughter: "Mike Pence is going after the Indian guy.". #GOPDebate.

Real division over Ukraine. They need to ask real questions about abortion next. #GOPDebate.

DeSantis is just wrong on so much of Ukraine. Not a blank check. No hint of American soldiers. It is just an unserious opinion. Make your argument based on facts. Disagree with the policy. Don't do it this way. #GOPDebate.

Vivek quotes Reagan's 11th Amendment. A little convenient when you are the target. #GOPDebate.

I mean, I'm all for North Dakota, but they have more livestock than people. Things that work in ND may not work in Texas or California, or even Ohio. #GOPDebate.

My goal has been to tweet so that my interest in the debate keeps up. I am failing. There is an hour left. I want to poke needles into my eyeballs and pound nails into my eardrums. #GOPDebate.
