she caves any time the left comes after. nikki is corrupt. i love the attention, fellas, thank you for that. it was knives out for nikki haley at last night s republican debate. will it stop her momentum? the republican front-runner not on the debate stage, instead hitting the campaign trail today, donald trump is expected to be in new york city courtroom. block critical aid to ukraine demanding tougher border policies, in return what president biden said he s now willing to do. cnn this morning starts right now. good morning. so glad you re with us on this thursday. you re probably late up watching the final republican presidential debate of the year, four candidates on that stage, clashing on policy, trading some personal insults as well. nikki haley took the brunt of the attacks from ron desantis and vivek ramaswamy over her big-ticket donations and her foreign policy positions. at one point vivek ramaswamy even holding up a handwritten sign saying nikki eq

gun magazine to ten rounds. then, having decided to veto the legislation, christie wouldn t meet with parents of sandy hook because he already made up his mind on the bill. what was his rationale for vee tote vetoing the magazine size? i ve heard the argument. are we saying, then, that the ten children on the clip that they advocate for, that their lives are less valuable? if you take the logical conclusion of their argument you go to zero, because every life is valuable. so why ten? why not six? why not two? why not one? why not zero? why not just ban guns completely? i mean, you know, so the logical conclusion are their argument is you get to zero eventually. so, you know, i understand their argument. hold it, governor. the problem with that logic is that it goes both ways. see, where governor christie says there s no justification for reducing a magazine of 15 to
