355: Comments on the GOP debate
from Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill · host Pigweed and Crowhill
The boys drink and review a light copper near bear from Athletic Brewing, then discuss the GOP debates. The participants were Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Chris Christie, Doug Burgum, and Asa Hutchinson. The candidates are all so far behind Donald Trump at this point that it was almost like a debate to see who wanted to be Trump's VP, except that Chris Christie, Asa Hutchinson, and Mike Pence were clearly competing for the anti/never-Trump lane. Vivek is widely seen as the winner, but Crowhill wasn't all that impressed with his performance. He was a little too silly, and he was legitimately criticized for not having any experience. DeSantis was surprisingly low key, but did well. Pence tried to defend his actions on Jan. 6 and to push himself out in front by being very aggressive, but it didn't do much for him. Haley scored some good zingers on Ramaswamy and helped herself some, but she's still way behind. Scott, Christie, Burgum and Hutchinson didn't distinguish themselves. P&C also discuss the elephant not in the room -- Donald Trump. Is there any hope that we can get somebody other than Trump on the Republican ticket?
