Vivek definitely made the biggest gains among MAGA Nation, but overall, I'd say Chris Christie was the one who "won" the debate. He's the only one on that state who came across as a competent alternative to Trump, instead of begging for his approval. Christie's politics seem disagreeable from my perspective, but he doesn't come off as a complete whackjob who gets all of his information from Grandpa's Facebook posts.
Trump benefits from all the Trump Jr.'s staying in the race longer. Basically looks like Christie is the only "Anyone but Trump" choice, and dear leader's best hope is that the field stays diluted so Christie can't build momentum.
Of course, if Trump can't run for whatever reason, then who knows which wannabe fascist Maga nation flocks to. Desantis seems like a joke so far, but it's early in the campaign, and he has a track record of winning.
