The 2024 Presidential Nomination - GOP Debate #2 (Sep 27, 2023)

[Edward64]

Here we go again Boyz ...

Simple question. Who wins Debate #2. Define "win" however and in whatever context you want.

And yeah, Trump still left off the list because that's not going to be helpful.

I'm still sticking with my girl Nikki.

Still haven't done an in-depth analysis of all their stances but she does seem "moderate" enough for me.

[GrantDawg]

I only know who loses. The United States.

[Kodos]

The Republicans should look into this Trout candidate.

[JeeberD]

Trout...which I'm using to mean Trump, if the boot licking continues.

[JPhillips]

Cancel the debates. Trump has already won.

[GrantDawg]

They could just start calling these the "Vice Presidential Debates." But then the front of that nomination isn't going to be there either. MTG.

[Edward64]

Didn't watch it but reading analysis. Love Nikki ...

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley sharply attacked entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy at the second Republican presidential debate over his stance toward TikTok, the social media app owned by a Chinese company.

Responding to Ramaswamy’s justification for joining the app, Haley bluntly stated, “every time I hear you, I feel a little bit dumber.”

Yeah, not a Ramaswamy fan. Interesting proposal but think it takes it too far. All for giving parents more control but total ban doesn't seem right.

Ramaswamy, who recently joined TikTok after a conversation with social media influencer Jake Paul, argued the app provides a platform to spread his message to younger voters. He said if he were elected president, he would ban anyone under 16-years-old from all “addictive social media,” but advocated for the pragmatic benefits of campaigning on the app.

[Edward64]

Another nice one for Nikki.

IMO, transparency in prices (and cost) is something we need more of.

Haley, though, appeared ready to debate health care, arguing for transparency in prices to lessen the power of insurance companies and providers and overhauling lawsuit rules to make it harder to sue doctors.

“How can we be the best country in the world and have the most expensive health care in the world?” Haley said.

Politico & 538 pundits this morning thought Scott & Haley won the debate.

538/WP/Ipsos polling of likely Republican voters says DeSantis, Haley & Ramaswamy had the "best" performance.
