i will conduct myself in it where you can tell your kids. that is somebody you should emulate. we will have success as that was believe it or not, an answer to a question about whether presidents have absolute immunity. he did not answer, it but he got a lot of praise for that last part of the answer which was a dig at trump. well, rhonda santos is pretty masterful tonight to answering the questions he wanted to, and not directly answering the questions. he dodged this. that was thrown of his strongest moments, and he just stood position and character in conduct. your kids can rip out of me in office. it will not be chaos. it will not have to deal with these issues. and that is it is the cleanest juxtaposition and next generational leadership option. you want to offer to donald trump. it feels a little too late. who is this desantis now? it is not walk desantis, it is the desantis which is just kind
their homework, desantis came across as. even at a baseball analogy ready for the person talking about going to war. i was like okay, good job desantis. but man, nikki haley just has so much more eq, and kind of owns the room. i don t agree with everything she said either. one thing that s going to tormentor is saying that all of our schools need to be run like our airports. who has ever come from the airport and, said gosh i need more experiences like. this [laughter] she s going to get grilled on. that but overall i think desantis, i think both of them had great nights but nikki haley came across a lot warmer to a lot of people. whether you like that or care about, that i think a lot of people do. when you re quiet i can t wait to hear your opinion laura i know it s. coming when we take a step back i know that it just feels as though nikki haley and ron desantis are running in a totally different world and donald trump. is donald trump s campaign is about retribution, it s ab
other. as where desantis is trying to build a new argument, and he may just not have enough time to do. it at the same time i think that the abortion, thing which really i thought was pretty surprising. which part of? it. that he basically said that donald trump is not pro-life. which is an utterly defensible position giving the stuff desantis was talking about, which was what trump has said since dobbs. the blanket, 18 weeks or whatever, that kind of stuff. desantis needs, there are a lot of people who don t follow pro-life stuff with the granularity. but the people who do know exactly what desantis is talking. about and if he can shave off some of those voters, that could be an important couple percentage points which would be a big difference in the crazy spin wars that we re going to have an 11 days, about how he performs. i agree with everybody, desantis had probably as good of a night as he possibly can. i do think the contrast between desantis and nikki haley was really po
and the following state south carolina and beyond to go away from president trump is that. if you think about it, particularly for those of us here in the midwest, he doesn t always talk the way we do, but there s a lot of voters particularly in the primary caucus season who are fed up with politicians who say all the right things in the campaign, and go to washington unfold under pressure. nobody is going turkeys from president trump a folding under pressure. i think that is where he continues to have some strong pull ratings. now again, desantis, i think tonight, you played a little clip, i thought the most effective one of the night when you talk about making iowa and florida increasingly the state where s other candidates in 2022 did not have the kind of success they did in those two states. but again, is it too little too late? a wide open election if donald trump is than i think you saw the two tonight clearly me in the decisive battle for the
of republican voters. we shall see. governor, thank you so much for joining us. thank you. back to my panel, you certainly heard the governor talking about if trump came back to the 2016, or even campaign, he is not, he is not there. he is not talking about the things the governor he is not even going after biden in the same way as perhaps people expect, him to is talking about himself and what he perceives as of what has happened to him. what is the the things he said at the end is actually separating himself from both haley and desantis tonight. jumps electability. at the end, he was saying, trump is totally well positioned with joe biden the argument we hear tonight from his competitors is that donald
