Debate? What Debate?
So, there was a GOP debate last night. I didn’t watch it, mainly because Donald Trump wasn’t there, so there really was no point.
In viewing the clips this morning, it looks like last night turned into a sort of “pile on Vivek Ramaswamy for doing business with China” orgy, and then smarmy Mike Pence topped it all off by saying “I’ve been sleeping with a teacher for 38 years.”
Awesome, dude. There’s an image we didn’t need to conjure in our brains.
The biggest news here to me this morning is that Democrat pollster Mark Penn, who is actually a legit and competent pollster, has Trump leading Biden by 4% nationally. The second biggest news was a CBS/YouGov poll released yesterday showing that 79% of Iowa GOP voters are open to supporting a candidate other than Trump as the 2024 GOP nominee. That’s a pretty big number and well up from similar polling results conducted throughout the year.
