My ranking in terms of who won, in descending order. <\/p>\n
Desantis. Too scripted. A little stiff and sour. Good on the issues. Didn’t get negative. Best of the bunch<\/p>\n
Vivek. Too silly at first. Came across as young and not seasoned. Haley scored on him with “you have no foreign policy experience, and it shows,” and he never got a chance to reply. He was good on policy and scored his own zingers against most of the others. <\/p>\n
Pence. Slow. Strange combination of boring and too aggressive \/ obnoxious. Came across as an establishment figure. <\/p>\n
Haley. I don’t like her. She was mostly uninteresting and consistently obnoxious. She also made a flatly sexist comment. (Female privilege.) I’m putting her in this spot because she did stand out a bit. <\/p>\n
Scott. Good, but not breaking out. He was polite and positive and had some good things to say. <\/p>\n
Christie. Uninteresting, and his anti-Trump approach is going to kill whatever small chance he might have had. <\/p>\n
Burgum. Surprisingly interesting at some points, but not smooth, and no chance. <\/p>\n
Hutchinson. He’s delusional if he thinks he has any chance. He’s a lame candidate with nothing to recommend him. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
