I think I still prefer Trump and DeSantis is probably still my second pick.
I don’t really trust Vivek cuz he seemed to duck out on a straight answer to the 2A question. Since I’m a bit of 2A fanatic that was a major red flag (pun intended). Probably didn’t help that I saw something online earlier about him having taken Soros money for business school.
I went in not knowing jack shit about most of the others but especially unknown to me were Nikki Haley, Asa Hutchinson, Tim Scott, and Doug Burgum. Fuck; I probably wouldn’t even have known who Christie was either if it wasn’t for Alice making fun of him all over here lol. Don’t think I’m a fan of Hutchinson at all.
Was kinda surprised that I mostly liked a lot of Haley and Burgum’s points. Not sure I agreed about Ukraine/Israel but she did make some fair points even on that. But if Trump and DeSantis weren’t there, I’d consider them.
Still wish my boy Josh Hawley had run tho
I was not impressed by Haley’s “I’m a warmonger with a vagina”.
yeah that part wasn’t so great. i guess the thing I liked about her was pointing out the limitations of what the position of president can actually do. I feel like a lot of the debate is basically what amounts to “I’m for this” but realistically if you had house or senate packed with dems, then a republican pres would still be pretty limited. was just refreshing to see someone actualy acknowledge that i guess.
But like I said, wasn’t my 1st or 2nd pick or anything.
