now he has a whole narrative around the prosecutions themselves. every single prosecution is part of his ongoing narrative of persecution. and the difference is how he s pregnanting that to the public. it s starting to be a pivot. it s not what we see in the stump speeches. we should also remember this. this campaign while these debates are great, donald trump s town hall was great, there are also going to be fought out in social media. so a lot of this debate will end up cut up into clips and put on instagram, put on twitter, people will never see the context of it. the biden campaign is reminding people that he says he s not chaos, but look at january 6th. he says he s not chaos, but he appointed the supreme court justices that got rid roe. so there will be enough evidence in the social media context to make the case.
innocent until proven guilty. it remains to be seen. but you re confident about your party s chances? yes. thank you all for talking with us. with want to say thank you for joining us. pleasure meeting a all of you. and nikki haley won most of these debates because she split the win this time. but it s donald trump who is going to get most of these people s votes at the caucus five days from now. back to you. gary, thank you very much. and thank everybody for participating. back here with the the panel. it s interesting to hear and see the evolution of those folks over this time. i think that s about where these have ended up. they are all interested. they are flirting, they are dating with these other candidates. but at the end of the day, most of them are caucusing for donald trump. we will see what happens next week. but that has been the sentiment all along. and closing the deal for these
I m not sure there s a piece information that could be trood that make you like him more or less. we were going to say the same thing. in the focus group, it would have been nice to hear from him, but we know what he stands for. the voters are not pining to hear donald trump in the sense they need him to be tested by ron desantis and nikki haley. it would be so much beneficial for them to get batting practice against trump rather than trump to get batting practice against them. it goes back to the point you were making about trump s brand. his brand is i m the rally guy. i m not the retail guy. he s been able to sell that. old school iowa a, you re supposed to go to all 99 counties. donald trump has just reinvented that part of it. you re right. he s brought new people into the party. i think monday night that s going to be a huge test. who shows up. especially if it as cold as they say it s going to be. the one thing donald trump has this time that he didn t have in 2016 is a re
They were more focused on each other than their competitor, donald trump, who was holding a rival town hall just a few miles away. they did not put the same fire on him as they did on each other. the two pulling no punches from the beginning of the debate when it came to questioning the other s sincerity and honesty. nikki haley is running. we don t need another mealy mouth politician who just tells you what she thinks you want to hear to try to get your vote and get into office and do her donors bidding. she said the people of iowa s votes need to be corrected. this is somebody that wrote in her book that hillary clinton inspired her to first run for office. i remember hillary den gr denigrating people as deplorables.
So those voters come to you. it s not going to happen by osmosis presidential. there aren t a lot of delawasantis voters to split up. something that s evaporated from the republican party. the idea that even if you like donald trump, you got to vote for somebody else to try to beat joe biden. that s the one thing that really destabilized desantis and haley. everybody else. for a long time, that was the conventional wisdom. but the worst thing that ever happened to desantis and hah lee were all these swing state polls showing donald trump beating joe biden. i don t know if he s destined to beat him. but in the average mind, the strategic voting argument is completely devastated when you pick up the paper or your twitter feed in the morning, and you re like, wait a minute, the guy that i really like, the original, the authentic thing is actually beating joe biden and vindication is the at hand.
