Throughout the first GOP primary debate of the 2024 election cycle, all the participants desperately tried to establish their bona fides in front of a crowd that seemed — from the booing that former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie received when he went after Donald Trump’s moral and legal challenges — overwhelmingly pro-Trump.
Meanwhile, Trump himself had declined to join the rough-and-tumble and was basking in the coverage of his pre-recorded interview on Twitter with Tucker Carlson, which, according to preliminary estimates, had received 74 million views by the time the GOP debate ended.
To their credit, the two Fox moderators, Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, asked some relatively hardball questions.
They pushed the candidates on whether they backed a national abortion ban. They brought in a young Republican to ask about climate change and whether the candidates would acknowledge it was real — with the exception of former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, none of the candidates would wholeheartedly go down that road.
Halfway in, they got around to asking the candidates’ positions on Trump and his four pending trials, as well as his actions surrounding January 6. They also asked about Ukraine, about how to tackle the fentanyl crisis, about homelessness and about rising crime rates. These are all serious issues, and the moderators attempted to steer the conversation to cover this large and fertile ground.

The debt ceiling is a mystery until we know how much has been spent. Variables surrounding how much will be spent is the unknown equation. What variables will arise in a spending cycle cannot be known. Kevin McCarthy has no clue ===== he is a spender like all the others.
Let's cut preferential tax cuts for the upper 1% = we cannot afford the revenue loss
Lets cut preferential tax dollar subsides to corporations = we cannot afford this revenue loss
Let's close 600 of 1000 offshore military establishments because this is unaffordable imperialism and requires a tremendous amount of tax dollar revenue. No other government in the world comes close to even 400 military establishments or even 200.
Let's cut bailouts of any financial institution for any reason = mismanagement is not eligible for my tax dollars.
I always VOTE
