Vivek is a piece of shit with no basic understanding of any topic discussed last night, but he clearly won the debate. Prob spoke more than anyone, constantly drove discussions, and got his name out there. Very-online young right wingers are gonna love his shit. Whether they hold any sway in Iowa is another matter. I'd still expect his numbers to rise.
Pence spoke a lot and did exactly what you'd need to do to garner support if most of the base didn't consider you a traitor. Maybe he doesn't gain support however I'm not seeing enough people point out the obvious: him and Vivek did an amazing job driving that debate and sidelining DeSantis. I'm seeing conservatives say DeSantis took no damage, made no mistakes etc. That's the type of argument you make about a FRONT RUNNER. Not a guy down 40 points.
Last night made it clear...this is Trump's party. Those who dance to his tune (Vivek) will stay around. Those who denigrate him (Asa, Christie) will be gone in late January or February next year.
North Dakota Guy was the only semi-normal person on stage btw.
