Ron DeSantis: Steady, but will it be enough to overtake Trump? People like zingers in debates, which mean absolutely nothing, of course, but once the fire and laughs are over, they tend to think more about what was said. But the Trump machine rolls on. Will the election results this week hurt Trump, though? Probably not.
Vivek Ramaswamy: Aggressive, often too much so. He will be remembered for the zingers, not for his policy analysis. He doesn’t really have much of the latter. He’s just too young and inexperienced at this game. Does he have a future in politics? Probably not.
Nikki Haley: Her usual irritating RINO self. She appeals to the middle of the party, not the base. Without the base, she probably doesn’t stand a chance of getting the nomination. And that’s good. About the only person she is better than is any Democrat. A large field, admittedly.
Tim Scott: Who?
Chris Christie: Go back to donuts, Chris.
