Vivek pointed out how corrupt she is financially and how she could not even name the provinces where the war was being fought in Ukraine. He pointed out that as many are now calling out for the war in Ukraine to end, she’s a war mongerer..

Vivek got them all riled up. It’s fun to watch them all yelling at each other. As usual, Vivek got the most press for being obnoxious.

Like she needs a man to defend her. I would have been insulted. Instead she plays the demure kitten. That's exactly what we don't need in the White House. But as someone else said, she's the one that scares me the most because now she's got the money behind her run.

But won't be. But Nikki would certainly line him up for VP. He is right, thar dude shouldn't be on the stage. The GOP needs to clean up its party of celebrities with no policies.

Running against each other. If they used Plouffe and Schmidt as advisors, they’re from UD as well.

Biden wants to keep trains and traffic moving for the good of the nation. Christie would be willing to compromise them just to get his way. Just sayin.

I got stuck in his Bridgegate.

He barely made it onto the debate stage with his numbers. So, Christie is positioning himself to be Haley’s surrogate, try to make her the contender against Dump, and continue working to torpedo Dump through his new role.

I could be wrong,, but I'm not looking for him to pick her. I've always had a feeling that he probably doesn't care for mouthy, opinionated women. I wonder if she's capable of toning it down enough to keep from getting on his tiny nerves.
