On issue after issue, they contradicted positions that helped make the front-runner so popular.
Chris Christie, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tim Scott, and presumably a producer for NBC who is not, as of this writing, a candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.Three of the four Republican presidential debates are now complete; the coronation of Donald Trump, who participated in none of them, is close at hand.
They even, effectively, made his case for him. Trump has, since 2016, campaigned as an anti-war candidate, and has bragged about his enduring opposition to endless war in the Middle East : the Republican field blustered all night about the myriad sorts of new military engagements they’d get into if elected. Trump has claimed he would cut entitlements; the Republican field unabashedly committed themselves to various cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
What did you miss, wise reader who did not watch? The candidates were heated but managed to train their fury less on each other, and more on the various sovereign nations of the world. This debate was foreign policy-themed, which meant that we viewers, were treated to a list of exotic locales that make these candidates mad. China, Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Mexico, and Venezuela all got mention.
Tim Scott started off the night by rolling out his vision of a Christian nationalist America, his remarks freighted with Bible verses. But over the course of the evening, he proved to be an incredibly clumsy orator, stumbling through basically every question he answered, throwing in the odd clarion call for, say, the “XL Keystone Pipeline” and his perilously named “Build Here, Don’t Borrow From China” plan.
Ron DeSantis should have had some homefield advantage, with the debate hosted in Miami, but it didn’t seem to count for all that much. On two separate occasions he said his solution would be to “rip it up and throw it in the trash can where it belongs”—“it” being the Green New Deal, which has never been passed into law, and “it” also being Joe Biden’s undifferentiated “executive orders.
