go after ron desantis. and ron desantis showed himself to be that uniquely unlikable, unsteady odd duck on the stage. when you were in congress, you served in congress with him. yeah, we ran against each other for over a year. look, i don t think ron desantis hurt himself or helped himself, which coming out of a debate is probably fine for ron desantis. he still has a ton of money, but i think what he still has to look out for it was the vivek show. the story is ramaswamy. and if ramaswamy gained 5 or 6 points all of a sudden ron desantis is in third. i was interested in who was getting cheered and booed throughout the night. and vivek ramaswamy like him or not, he had a lot of energy in the auditorium, and he was getting booed. and that auditorium was filled mostly with donors, and that s a donor audience. and nikki haley got a lot of clears for taking on ramaswamy, but then the boos were there.
that race, he was not here yesterday and h is here now and probably not tomorrow, and he try tried something new. and typically the politicians in newark are doomed statewide in new jersey. you can win a mayor s job or a seat in congress, but that is it. you are a suburban taxpayer and your money is wasted in newark. he is self-built, and had the connections from the yale, and the stanford and the wall street world and all of this, and those people were comfortable with him from the beginning and he went into knnewark to create a story that you could look at it cynically that would be appealing to the suburban audience and the appealing of the high-end donor audience and cultivated it better than anybody had seen in new jersey politics. they funded 25% of the money in 2002 in that campaign came from wall street, and all of the way back then. and that is the most cynical story, right? it is easy to do to cory this week, because he is such a nice punching bag based on the story,
