Movie or debate participants?

I did not watch the debate last night. We were in a third night of 95+ degree heat and I power washed my front porch.

On one hand, these debates are worthless because the ability to deliver clever one liners doesn’t have much to do with actually figuring out who should run certain organizations within the federal government.

But from what little I saw, I’m 60% sure Trump gets the nomination and 35% sure DeSantis will and leaving 5% for a surprise.

Also, Fox News is treating the debate like a sporting event. Meaning, no outlet can broadcast more than three minutes or they’ll be sued for copyright violation. That’s what they do on major sports games but they don’t do that on news events. That’s new and it’s BS on one hand, but on the other, presidential debates are really nothing more than entertainment anyway.

Ramaswamy endured his human punching bag stint with a frozen in place grin,... He'll win the conspiracy crown.
Pence tried to take the high road and appeal to the nonexistent moral character of the Right.
Christie tried to come out swinging but was outpunched by Nikki Haley.
DeSantis froze and waited not to die.

Was anybody else there? or were they just cardboard cutouts?

If Pub's want a win... Nikki Haley is their only hope... so she definitely won't win the Primary.
