Official Republican Presidential Debate August 23, 2023

I'll be interested to see how my winners/losers match up with primary voters - I'm guessing it won't be a great match.

Haley was the best of the traditional R party
Burgam was the best of the libertarian wing of the R party
I lose interest after these 2


Vivek was Trump 2.0
Pence and Hutchinson are vestiges of the past
Desantis continued his authoritarian leanings and lacked charisma
Christie was Christie with all the good and bad that goes with that
Scott was disappointing in his social conservatism bent - reminds me of a less charismatic Huckabee
 
I got one foot in that camp. She did well. I think she can pull independents that broke for Biden last time.

easily - she went pretty bold on the abortion position for a primary but her position probably matches the super majority of voters
 
Haley's central theme is that the Republicans must come to the center in order to be able to defeat Biden. I won't mention that she hasn't seen many wars she didn't like.

I would say that her central theme is to be realistic. Republicans can use a reality check. A guy with 90 some indictments hanging over his head is unelectable. Republican voters need to get that
