DeSantis and Haley had a debate last night, and it’s looking like the best they could do was engage in a 5th grade fight. In other words, the same old mishmash of unenlightening blather.
Anything of substance was overshadowed by the usual pushing and shoving and sniping and digs and quest for the memorable one-liner. They ignored or skated over the moderator’s questions because they came loaded for bear with their own talking points.
They were afraid to really go after Donald Trump, because they dared not offend the almighty Base. Imagine candidates for POTUS measuring their words in deference to another (disgraced) candidate’s supporters.
What does the Base actually believe, what do they really want, and who are these people? Because they control the narrative, apparently. They wield the levers, have some power. And they still think Donald Trump is the cat’s meow, some sort of savior.
Maybe that’s all we need to know.
