the republican party, former president trump took a break from courtum appearances to tak questions in a fox news town hall. in this n town hall he said absolutely nothing new. it was the same lies, same talking points, and essentially a rally with questions. let s be very clear, folks, the only normal aspect of tonight s debate was the presence of podiums. the candidates took the stage just after vocal trump critic, former new jersey governor chris christie suspended his campaign refusing to endorse any of his former opponents. in a normal world a re-election losing 91 felony counts facic, twice impeached front-runner who didn t show up to debate at anything would be a prime candidate prime target for any candidate hoping to take the lead, right? that s in normal times. but desantis and haley declined to focus on the elephant not in the room. instead they saved their most ruthless barbs for each other. we need to stand up for the people and not bow down to woke corporati
