Well, That Debate Was Unhinged

We’ve now watched roughly eight hours of debating among the Republican Party’s presidential candidates. You residents of Iowa and New Hampshire and South Carolina really should have more than enough information about the candidates by now. They’ve been stopping by your neck of the woods quite regularly for much of the past year. They’ve all done plenty of interviews, on television and the web, on radio, and in print. And last night, we got two solid hours of four of the last five candidates who are still standing*: Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Chris Christie, and Vivek Ramaswamy. No more interruptions from Doug Burgum telling us how they do things back in North Dakota, Tim Scott sounding like a preacher, or Mike Pence furrowing his brow in concern.
