Talking about debate all morning seven candidates taking to stage second gob dab fox nice contributor on Reagan Library in simi valley, california. Maria, good morning to you even though former President Trump was not on that stage last night was subject of multiple attacks from those candidates perhaps because starting to realize they got to do something to get into lead in polling got to do it past Chris Christie went after trump other handling of the border take a listen. Donald trump, failed on this as well. He said he was going to build a wall across the whole border built 52 miles said mexico will pay for it guess what . I think if mexico knew he was only building 52 miles might have paid for 52 miles. Topic last night uaw strike people asked about President Biden joining the picket lines also being asked where do they stand on this strike do they side with union or do they side with the Auto Companies here is what Vivek Ramaswamy had to say. People going through real hardship in this country you know if i was giving advice to those workers i would say picket in front of the white house in washington, d. C. , that is really where protest needs to be. China brought up multiple times during debate as well specifically the National Security threats china poses to United States, nikki haley had strong answers on this topic, she also went after her former boss former President Trump regarding his handling of china take a listen. This where is President Trump went wrong, he focused on trade with china he didnt focus on the fact they were buying up our farm lavined didnt focus on 235k killing american didnt focus on fact stealing 600 billion dollars in intellectual property didnt focus enough on fact Law Enforcement drones in america are chinese, weve got all little surveillance cells we need to start focusing on what keeps americans safe. Speaking of former president he obviously, decided to skip last nights debate once again, sighting commanding lead in the polling he is essentially said everybody onstage last night was wasting their time by running against him, instead of dooeb he was holding a rally in michigan a little bit what have he had to say to supports out there. Ladies and gentlemen, i have been preparing my entire life for this battle we did a great job four years ago, we were unfairly interrupted lets be nice about it very unfairly interrupted but many ways this is better weve seen what a bad theyve shown what you say a horrible job they do, and we will be able to do things that nobody would have thought possible. Maria now we wait to see if there is any post debate polling that shows any candidates get a bump to cuting into Donald Trumps lead the bottom line here is some candidates have to start dropping out of this race if not polling well, if anybody wants to be able to compete with donald trump. Because simply not enough pieces of pie to go around with the amount of polling, that donald trump or excuse me big lead that donald trump has, 30, 40, 50 depending what poll you are looking at. We have to see are people going to drop out will that other vote consolidate and will somebody like desantis or maybe nikki haley or vivek move up in polls are getting closer to donald trump we have to wait and see. I think President Trump in front of United Auto Workers said why do debate if 57 points ahead what he said i think next debate he isolated, bill in simi valley. Border crisis in focus last night customs and Border Protection confirmed more than 11,000 total migrant encounters at the southern border in 4hour period tuesday 20 wednesday marks second time this week weve hit unprecedented threshold of 11,000 people, you were the encounters ones we know about governor of texas greg abbott, along with Texas Capital president chief executive officer rob holmes at New York Stock Exchange to ring the closing bell getting to that in a moment gentlemen great to see you both. You, too, thanks. Governor youve done so much i would like to start there, rob, you know, the success and strong of texas. And you actually wrapping up, up in a way to invest in it we will talk about that governor this week has been incredible 11,000 people, encountered how would you access this week. It is chaos a catastrophe a byproduct of joe biden open border policies maria remember throw years ago we had lowest border crossings in 40 years, because policies by donald trump remain in mexico,title 42 , build a border wall joe biden came in eliminated policies last year alltime record illegal crossings this year going to set another alltime record illegal crossings americans have had it texas stepping up to do everything we can, by putting razor wire border barriers to prevent people from coming in only to have President Bidens staff cut those laser wires illegal allow people to enter our country outrageous what biden is doing you are the only one doing anything in terms of stopping, this chaos at the border you put you this razor wire up also buoys, in water there are trying to change that as well, why . Why do they cut the wire . So that what is the answer to this. Texas is the only state in the American History actually repelled illegal grants biden does not want that to happen, biden wants those Illegal Immigrants to come into the United States, we are at war on the border the war on border between texas, the United States of america. Maria unbelievable, now you are in new york, today, to ring the closing bell with rob i want to get your take on whether or not you were able to see the impact of that a border crisis here in new york, i know your here for that weve got roosevelt hot realtime not far from here mooikz obviously, walking all offer the streets, they want jobs, Biden Administration wants to equivalent them jobs, did you get sans of any of that in new york weve heard from eric adams. We know what is going on in new york, however, most of the public does not know this fact. People are aware texas has bussed people to new york 15800, most migrants in new york were sent by joe biden. This is a problem in new york caused by joe biden, as well as other cities why joe biden isner water in polls with regard to immigration americans democrat and republicans have had it with joe bidens openborder policy. Even though enormous problem in texas at the border rob your highlighting growth of the state of tornados ringing the closing bell at New York Stock Exchange, celebrate launch of Texas Capital new Exchange Traded fund, and the Funds Management division of Flagship Fund the pasadena capital texas equity index etf tell me about the etf. Comprised 222 companies in texas, diversified microcosm of economy texas 2. 4 trillion dollars 10 u. S. Economy close to 100,000 Fortune Companies 10 u. S. Economy, highly diversified evidenced by talking about last night top five holdings, tesla schwab mckesson, race management exxon think about that, is how more diversified strong can economy be. Maria it is interesting because you think about texas you dont always think about tesla, but this has been an incredibly shot stock in the etf bodes well for etf, your governor has led a growth story in texas, how would you analyze the growth of texas right now . What is most important for us to understand about the economy of texas. There is no economy, in the america, that is growing as fast as state of texas one of the reasons, why are history is being made today because texas is the only state, in the United States that has our own etf, there are 30 countries in the world, with economies smaller than fz have their etf texas has 8th largest economy in entire world more for the 50000 Company Headquarters in texas than any other state in america 450,000 people moved to texas last year, where Companies Moving to state of texas the economy is on fire, so much so, that past year texas had a Budget Surplus of 35 billion dollars while california had budget deficit 35 billion dollars, texas is doing great economically. Youve got to talk to the leadership in washington on capitol hill about your secrets to Budget Surplus. This allows, in texas economy legalize investors to benefit from growth story that governor is talking about, what do you expecting what have you heard in terms of you know, interest in the etf we havent seen etf like this. Very unique, alternative investment, one that will of the differentiate based on what we talked about dynamic, not only Economic Indicators fantastic but second largest work foster in the country youngest, 11 tier one universities Companies Moving to texas record pace coming for lot of reasons one is talent pool talent coming up, to the School Systems in texas but also moving in, because they want to be part of it. Maria this etf is one more step in your grandmaster plan to create this titan in business Texas Capital in terms of size, and the products that you have. You are trying to create a a minijpmorgan here are. We talked about that, but tornados does is just like etf full Service FinancialServices Fund now finally has one for the first time, think about that, Trading FloorInvestment Banking led largest sole managed debt deal in country last week Investment Bank a year old it is profitable weve done 50 billion dollars, trades, Trading Floor, private wealth business of is growing 37 yearoveryear Second Quarter end, treasurys business 17 , 2 business, so it is working. I know that one lures for state of texas is the fact that you dont have the taxes that so many others do you have k income tax, i want your take on pitch for corps so many said i am ditching california i am ditching new york i am going to texas sales pitch. Income tax no Corporate Income tax because of surplus cut taxes 18 billion dollars in the texas we regulatory advisement brought elon musk in promised a factory in 18 months accelerating permits texas partners with Business Owners like partnering with rob today texas sports our businesses, ensures they will success in our great state. A great point i am glad you mentioned elon musk he has been talking border going to the border he wants to see it firsthand. What is he going to see . And tell me about that in terms of communicating what is truly going on to the public, through a man like elon musk. Elon frustrated about the fact Mainstream Media is not covering a chaos ad border by him going on border will expose to it people cross the country as well as cross the entire world, he have wants to put a spotlight on what is on the border why there must be change, at the top in United States of america. That is what i did what i tried to do going to the border five fiems one of the first times i was embedded with border patrol, a girl coming across the river 10 or 11, my guys border patrol, went over started speaking span toish her what are you doing as soon as he approached her, she looked at her shirt. I i said what was that be said maria that is what she thinks she has to do when approached by authority this is disgusting, about what is happening to little girls raped attacked ib was who are favored. Little girls assaulted like that think about story happened in new york here, where a oneyearold child died because of exposure to fentanyl, this fentanyl crisis caused by joe biden open border boil to say the Law Enforcement alone has seen fentanyl to kill every man woman and child entire United States of america a oneyearold child in new york lost life because of the tragedy. My prayers to his family another reason you have been so tough on china, by the way, because we know underlying couldnt from china are you seeing interest from institutions from this etf to appeal to large pool of potential investors. Leaving etf, growing fine outperforming outperformed since inception a little down but down less than other indices pleased with this so far. Have a great day Stomping GroundNew York Stock Exchange watching you in have closing bell integration and governor thank you for your leadership wonderful to see you both Governor Greg Abbott rob holmes here and well be right back. upbeat music constant contacts advanced automation lets you send the right message at the right time, every time. constant contact.

Is it possible to use predictive monitoring to address operations issues . We can help with that, too. With the advanced connectivity and intelligence of global secure networking from comcast business. Its not just possible. Its happening. At futures ahead of read Second Quarter gdp seven minutes dow industrials highs of the morning up 60 nasdaq up a fraction,is a s p 500 right now, expectations for the gdp 2. 1 growth in Second Quarter, joining me right now the pacer etf distributors president sean ohara, how important is gdp number to markets. I dont think that this number is any big surprise i think will come in line i am worried about i think you are going to see a major revisions to previous gdp numbers, a pretty big disconnect between gdp, and gdi, gross domestic income diverging sometime i think starting to come back i i think will drive down previous gdp the negative, that is important to the markets because so far we havent seen seen any major slowing, you know with markets have been faithful resilient consumer in there tough i think starting to get long in the tooth little wary this probable in line i think will adjust down the numbers previous and i think an indication slowing more than we thought we were. Maria have you seen a reaction from investors to this slowing economy . Are they shifting the way they want the allocate capital. Yeah, were seeing, big flows in value shares low p e high freecash flow, yield different strategies very, very popular when you think what is going on first half of this year all growth and tech higher Interest Rates slowing any, that is big headwinds for growth and tech if investors lookinging to reduce risk a blight loi get i had higher dividends cash flow we have Management Strategies getting more attention friend following strategy, for example, follows s p 500 in 00 moving average a version, that nasdaq product went to 50 tbills at peak of the nasdaq earlier this year, so i think investors are starting to get a little bit concerned in seeking ways to sort of derisk or reduce the risk in portals. One way to derisk to have bought oil last couple years oil stocks as well, look at oil this morning pulling back but they hit highest level 13 months yesterday supply concerns with crude 93. 14 you said would you apply oil. The Energy Sector overall of all sectors it has strongest momentum, right now. One of the things recently, the defensive etfs dividend pairs things like that i know shawn pacer they have very interesting etfs kind of that allow for Market Participation while also simultaneously handling same point in time hp are you seeing more money flow into some of those kind of vehicles or defensive as a hedge. Yeah, the oil things we have been overweight energy 2 1 2 years now a great position. Maria good call. Driven by freecash flow, yields i think a great hedge to the market own energy right now; right . If weve a negative impact to growth were not seeing slow supply the demand hasnt been solved infuriating to me this administration doing what they are with regard to energy, policies. It is hurting average person so balanced back to your question on defensive strategies, we have whole suite of defensive strategies use trend, difference a buffered suite structured no kind of payoff i think starting to gain more attention people Pay Attention to market still trading, 20 to 22 times earnings, i mean, i have been saying for two years now time for people to lower portfolios before market does it weve seen first part vast majority of stock market appreciation multiple expansion. Not based on fundamental earns, i think multiple expansion like vapor candice pare quickly when when narrative changes. Doorstep of earnings, going to likely see whatever you are talking in terms of slowdown, upset underneath haeldz come out in earnings numbers hearing from management you also, commercial real estate you say in trouble as long rates reset next few months yields on 10year right now close to 5 again. Ways going on in commercial real estate that we have about a trillion half dollars commercial mortgages inequities year and had a rolling over eyepopping from 4s to 10s, 11s on properties make sense even at 60 occupation a low rate but with Interest Rates now high, if you still have occupation problem i think going to persist for awhile you have a lot of folks, like in great housing crisis people handing keedz back to the bank for condo oggs, we are going to see people handing keys to skyscrapers back to banks because they wont be able to get financing, the occupancy rates arent there. Mark to pig back off comments about to having refinance aprays always hour double whammy very difficult for commercial real estate owners to refinance debt, and, assuming they are able to refinance the debt at higher rate the bling bling no longer profitable. I mention bob nardelli comment some businesses he invested in Interest Payments from two million to 14 million, that is a dealbreaker, we got a minute before gdp go ahead. I am interested to hear how you think that the current strike factors into Economic Outlook uaw strike on everyones mind one of three bigstrikes this year i see as sort of a symptom of Economic Uncertainty unrest how do you think this nooshgz into outlook. Last week i said not that big a deal i thought would solve over the weekend they, obviously longer it goes on. Timing length of strike biggest factor in this so you are going to have, disruptions peoples index disruptions to supply chain, all of that will have a negative effect, long term if we see protracted strike playing catchup like markets right now about, just couple seconds away from gdp, weve got dow industrials up 46 points right now, expectations for gdp up 2. 1 also jobless claims out, that is typically a market mover market fractionally moving ahead of this number as soon as it hits going to cheryl, get that number to see if it is going to inform on anything else on this slowdown cheryl has numbers gdp first, came in line 2. 1 this is final read for a Second Quarter from gdp, 2. 1, the previous read we got 2 so ticked up a little bit. Pretty much what market was expecting, there, as for claims, we came in a little bit lighter on claims initial claims 204,000 street looking for 17, also for continuing 1. 67 million, that is about in line with what street was looking for for continuing claims, so, yeah, i i mean overall this is about what we expected a consequence estimate see what q3 does back to you. Maria i guess earlier shane was mention vision i get there is a revision for third read i dont know if that is moving market much but i do see, this number, looks like better than expected, when you see it is in line with estimates, but higher, than what we saw last, last quarter. Right about revisions if you look at gdp historically isnt revised down every First Quarter every year 20202021, 2022, so, yeah, i am looking for revisions for qone if that is what you are asking for i dont see it in front of me that is highly possible i got, send it back to you going to look for it. Maria thoughts on this. Like i said in line with what i expect i am concerned about revisions, this could be a potentially hopeful number for all of us right it could be weve this no landing scenario, right . We slow a little bit dont have a soft landing or crashlanding or a disastrous landing, the consumer and economy, United States consumer United States economy has been very, very strong here, in spite of all of the, obstacles in its way maybe fed will get it right this time, i dont think they got it radio often, so, probably not very likely, and just one comment on Interest Rates in commercial real estate, Interest Rates have big effect on small cap and midcap stocks as anything most stocks 90 day revovlers on debt. Small Midcap Companies are seeing biggest impact from hire frrts good to see you. Thanks for insights, stay with us weve got more on economic data, and last nights debate. Well be right back. Its not just designed to look good. Its built to command attention. Its not just a comfortable interior. Its a quiet refuge. Theyre not just headlights. They light the way forward. The new fully electric audi q8 etron models. Moving forward with node positive Breast Cancer is overwhelming. But i never just found my way; i made it. And did all i could to prevent recurrence. Verzenio reduces the risk of recurrence of hrpositive, her2negative, nodepositive, early Breast Cancer with a high chance of returning, as determined by your doctor when added to hormone therapy. Hormone Therapy Works outside the cell. While verzenio works inside to help stop the growth of cancer cells. Diarrhea is common, may be severe, or cause dehydration or infection. At the first sign, call your doctor, start an antidiarrheal, and drink fluids. Before taking verzenio, tell your doctor about any fever, chills, or other signs of infection. Verzenio may cause low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infection that can lead to death. Lifethreatening lung inflammation can occur. Tell your doctor about any new or worsening trouble breathing, cough, or chest pain. Serious liver problems can happen. Symptoms include fatigue, appetite loss, stomach pain, and bleeding or bruising. Blood clots that can lead to death have occurred. Tell your doctor if you have pain or swelling in your arms or legs, shortness of breath, chest pain, and rapid breathing or heart rate, or if you are nursing, pregnant, or plan to be. Im making my own way forward. Ask your doctor about everyday verzenio. If people in washington are shutting down the American Dream with their reckless behavior, where is joe biden . He is completely missing in action from leadership. Congress has only delivered a budget on time four times in 40 years, if they dont keep government open they should not get paid. 90 of resources to ukraine is guaranteed as loan. Discussing potential Government Shutdown in last nights gop debate Kevin Mccarthy said house will not take up senate short Term Government funding bill slamming President Biden for staying on sidelines. If he wants to sit and hide in white house put government into a shutdown, that is on him. In fact speaker said, acknowledged that could be a shutdown if biden stays on sidelines economy for responsible federal budget Maya Macguineas. Going to keeping track from unstooifk poll experts see shot up to almost 90 at this point, just not enough time, for them to get done what they need unless every is in place i am more optimistic than that i think still could if they agree to short termc to give breathing room, so silly the deadline weve known about at the same time every single year last minute scramble i think at this point is huge significant sign that our budget process is broken, and i mentioned debate last night we never get any done on time we have to rethink the way we budget in this country. Maria we knew this was coming here we are at the cliff, one of the issues is that some republicans to not want to keep up money moving towards ukraine especially since our border, remains wideopen lawmakers debating whether or not ukraine fund should go be included in continuing resolution, georgia wram Majorie Taylor greene told fox news any defense continuing ukraine funding is dead on arrival others saying we dont want money in there for jack smith or doj to prosecute your political enemies, there is a lot of priorities that people have and that is why you are getting the no votes, and doesnt have a lot of wiggle room Kevin Mccarthy, only cant afford to lose four people to vote against cr. This is Impossible Task the way it works right now particularly with slim majority but because any individual member can bring in issues they care about kind of attach to discussion, we either have to go back to budgeting in regular order where very important issues what you think about ukraine spending what you think about border would be addressed in the normal committee process, as supposed to be or we have to separate it going to have a cr continuing resolution because cant Fund Government on time, a clean cr address issues separately, so that you can you can have a vote on ukraine have a vote on Border Security but if you get into habitat where you can you can throw everything in kitchen sink into legislation complicates it too often leads vulnerable to folks most willing to take system hostage to get what they want instead of democratic process to see where votes are variety of spending taxing priorities. Even though republicans sigh look. We want to do a cut in spending, and that is in this cr their comparing it to the height of covid spending, so the republicans saying look, why the conservatives saying why would i compare to it where we were during a pandemic emergency . That should not be the standard. So, absolutely. I am fully sympathetic to folks saying the spending has ratcheted up we need to focus on how to bring spending down not right to compare to levels, a huge energy borrow six trillion dollars most part if right thing to do now we need to bring budget under control figure out how to bring that borrowing, spending down get a fiscal situation under control that said, what concerns me in tend when they come up with whatever deal they want, they had been up putting additional spending in it about what were talking about right now more spending variety of issues instead of more areas for savings, the best possibility here is went through all this debt ceiling put together a reasonable bill in terms of saving one to two trillion dollars, but only looking at very small part of the budget not nearly enough in savings to get where we need to i think passss appropriations at level already agreed to, by the way, right now levels too high above agreement highways wants levels below agreement, stick to agreement but pivot to talking about generating savings where money is where you and i talk about it all the time nobody is talking about the biggest issues in budget which is Social Security, medicare headed towards insolvency mannered spend have gone to consider to be honest tradeoff, to get debt under control. Conversation to have did you hear any last night at the debate republican candidates tried to lay out a strategy to fix the economy, watch. Unlock american energy, drill, frack, burn coal embrace Nuclear Energy mutpeople back to work no longer paying them more money to stay at home. Focus on going after Middle America cutting taxes for Middle America collapsing those brackets. Why people are striking in the detroit joe bidens interference with imbalance markets, free markets. Maya thoughts . So it is political season we are going to keep harg what with politicians know works well with voters first off people are werent in that discussion, donald trump and joe biden both talking about how they are not going to touch Social Security and medicare that is wrong approach what were hearing encouragement i was worried everyone would dump issues completely that hasnt been the case some candidates have been willing to talk about real choices necessarily we are hearing people falling back on easy fixes sound great, but lets grow the economy, you know balanced Budget Amendment all things that are not, to fix problems, yov to worry about i can say truth we borrowed way too much, way too many decades as a result we are going to have to cut spending we are going to have to talk about how to get heir revenues look at a lot of specific choices, and what were not hearing in debates are those specific choices the candidates are willing to get behind or at least a recognition that we are going to have to. I really like your q a about Government Shutdowns expecting sunday morning you have laid out in terms of what that means for the committee for responsible budget thank you for that maya al a pleasure thanks for being here Maya Macguineas joining us, fireworks in california second gop president ial debate on fox business what voters thought of seven candidates we are going to talk with them you are watching mornings with maria live on fox business.

I did golos a lifestyle change and you make the change and it stays off. soft music maria welcome back talking about debate here now with some from last night lee carter i know former south caroliha governor nikki haley confronting Vivek Ramaswamy on tiktok your take what you heard last night what was your assessment. I think overall a lot of people were frustrated by cross talk made it hard to react hear what they wanted but insights from voters nikki haley in debate, ramaswamy on tiktok. Every time i hear you i feel a little bit dumber for what you say because i cant believe, the idea tiktok situation, what there are doing is 150 Million People on tiktok that means they can get your contacting your Financial Information get your emails get your messages get all things. This is very important. Which a. This is very important. Youve made, america, even know what it takes to get on social media dangerous for all you were in business with chinese gave hunter biden five Million Dollars we cant trust you. Went after him tell us what the republican line reacted favorably to what she was saying, some said they didnt like her tone but really liked the message went hard on china, tiktok, and all of that, what i thought most interesting there was that independent line yellow line really, really dropped, independents did not like her tone did not like her approach called her things like shrill, one said reminded her of a karen they hated cross talk felt that she turned them off, independent voters very, very important. Now she has had a lot of appeal to independent voters i was somewhat surprised by reaction to that particular sound bite. Maria next one is Florida Governor rond dv using military to go after the dangerous mexican cartels, watch it. Commander in chief, i am going to use u. S. Military to go after the mexican drug cartels they are killing our people,. This border is going to be a day one issue for me as president going to declare national we will build wall do remain in mexico but mexican drug cartels treated by they are wow. So republicans and independent line going up. Way up there, that overall republicans independents, i was most interested in there was how democrats responded so favorably, doing this for a long time you never seen democrats give a republican a great grade above a d, last 8 years they gave a c, but comments from the voters was that they want to hear about solutions on border they want to hear about immigration they recognize what a real problem this is. Ron desantis had very good moment hasnt just wrighting talk point had a solution that broke through resonated i think a real opportunity moment for him. Maria does this resonate whether with what you saw. I think so i i think ron desantis had very did missouriing to hurt anymores i dont know breakthrough moments from what he is as saying but did nothing to hurt himself i think playing safe did it well. Breakthrough moments during cross talk the crossfire inserted himself into conversation, no, no, no look at that, his one great moment, that i can recall is when he kind of enter rejected between nikki haley and tim scott i am only one has experience winning on issues important not just for respect voters but independents sick and tired of the empty promises from candidates. This is south caroliha senator tim scott saying america is not racist. Reward stop rue store capitalism put america back together as one American Family our nation continues to go in the right direction, why i can say i have but america is not is not a racist country never, ever doubt who we are we are the greatest country on gods green earth. Getting emotion, across the board republicans democrats independents everybody greed i love to see everybody can agree america is not racist but america is something to be proud of hopeful message can resonate, the question is does it stick . What i heard from voters love what he had to say but tim scott did not make a case for himself why he was a better president what has he going do do something stick except for optimism hope seems really nice guy overall not give to get elected. I wrpd if that was debate among Vice President ial well be right back. Stay with us. Hi, im stacey, and ive lost 60 pounds on golo. guitar music this belt i used to wear, way down at the first and second notch, its the only thing ive kept from before losing weight and im keeping this because im never going back. Latoya while serving in iraq, our vehicle was hit and it was bad. Back home, i had to learn to live with the scars both visible and invisible. Having someone on your side means everything. Announcer dav helps veterans like latoya get the benefits theyve earned. They help more than a million veterans every year. Latoya my victory is overcoming my wounds so i can help other veterans. Announcer support more victories for veterans. Go to dav. Org. Maria welcome back. Time for the big buzz of the morning. We are wrapping up last nights second gop primary debate. I want to get your take on who was the winner and who was the loser . Mark. Im going to go with nikki haley. I think shes done a great job preparing talking points against her opponents. All right, kaylee. I think the winner was ron desantis. I think he avoided mud getting flung at him, and he did have some president ial breakthrough moments where he was able to tout his successful record in florida. Maria i wonder if its going to be enough to cut into trumps lead. Probably not. Maria lee. Win or loser. Id almost say the winner was trump because i dont think anyone had enough of a moment to put a dent in that lead. But i think desantis and nikki haley had decent nights, but its the not going to be enough to take on trump. Maria so the next debate we are watching for november ask will the stage be smaller .
