Rich, Burgum is eligible for another term as governor of North Dakota, I’d keep letting him cook.
I don’t agree with Nikki Haley on the merits regarding U.S. military intervention in Mexico — involving the U.S. in a shooting war south of the border is the definition of opening a Pandora’s box of unknown and unpredictable consequences — but she presents the best argument for it.
And Haley’s tying Beijing the America’s fentanyl problem is 110 percent correct.
Nikki Haley communicating on Fentanyl and China needs to be taken seriously. I know way too many young men who have died because of it.
As Dana Perino notes, terrorism was not even an issue in the Bush-Gore debates. Nor in 2016 was there a debate on pandemics.
Ok, actually Trump taking more incoming than last debate
Doug Burgum would be a great chief of staff or cabinet secretary for a non-Trump Republican president
Christie is correct. All the world’s anti-American regimes – Russia, China, Iran and North Korea – are aligned on one side of the conflict in Ukraine. Taiwan and NATO are on the other. This is not an ambiguous dynamic that requires a lot of chin-stroking to fully assess. Save two candidates, there seemed to be consensus on that stage around what we’re all seeing with our own eyes. It’s nice to hear someone unafraid to offend the sensibilities of the fringes.
I’m not a Vivek fan, but I wonder if Nikki seemed too angry and personal in her attacks
Christie is a bit overzealous on Ukraine but he’s just fantastic on connecting the Russia-China-Iran axis.
Haley was fierce, and absolutely correct about TikTok. But – reading it as an audience member, not a person who 100% agrees with her and thinks Vivek’s embrace of China and TikTok is unforgivable – he had the better, more conciliatory tone. An act? Well, we all remember Debate #1. But he pitched it well and I wonder how Haley’s hit will play.
Still, she was right to make it.
