We'll see about that. I think Trump would go with who is doing second best in the polls. Minus Ron of course. But Noem has a long way to go to since this is different than 2016.

It’s all about suburban women in the 6 swing states - that’s where he needs help.
And Noem is dynamite.
Consider it a lock.

He was one of the least awful, but that ain’t saying much.
The whole thing was a poo fight.
Trump won by staying away.

And none of them will get it; it was a fight for 3rd place.

When Christie dumped on Trump the audience did not like it. I think Christie is toast.

Agreed. It was a trump crowd. I found it pretty interesting they were running for president, but would support trump if he won the nomination, even if he was a convicted felon.

They're politicians, what did you expect? Christie was the only one willing to publicly stab Trump in the back. It was a bold move actually but, pretty stupid at the same time.

Can't say you're wrong on political evaluation, but Christie is correct on trump.. The others were either wrong outright, or simply to timid, lacking in personal fortitude to call it like it is. Closest next on the Trump issue was Nicky Haley. I think she did well on several areas.

The cartels are more than likely giving more nut money to local, state and federal politicians, than they are taking a cut of US federal foreign aid subsidies from the US.
. . . that corruption is starting to leak into border communities and state governments here.
. . . or so I have heard.
That Vivek Ramaswamy guy also supported the idea of using the military or CIA against the Cartels, and Bill Barr explained to him how this would be very difficult, complicate our relations with the Mexican states just south of the border, the relations with the Pentagon, and probably not be as effective as most folks believe it would be. . .

While that might be the truth, at this point, the global elites have been so successful at saturating the national population, and the young voters with an epistemology narrative at odds with that narrative, it would not be politically tenable to take such an extreme position in the general election, if a candidate wishes to actually win.
So, they need to ask themselves, do they want to ACTUALLY BE PRESIDENT, or do they want to only represent folks in the election that aren't idiots?
So no, at this point in history, given the daily propaganda that has bombarded the population for the past two decades? If someone wants to actually BE president, although that may be the truth, that is not the best answer.

I could agree with you. . . . but IMO, Trump does not always pick, "the best people," IMO.
He is a narcissist, that picks folks that agree with him, that are good looking and loyal, not ones that will necessarily be a political asset, with a proven record.
Kristi Noem would be the wise political choice, but it is Kari Lake that is the one that has been sucking up to him, spending time in his orbit, and he has a very easily manipulated ego.
This will cloud his judgement, IMO. It will also cost the GOP the election.
I did watch mostly because of so much disinformation that was being circulated on social media about it. There were rumors that Don Jr. or another surrogate would stand in for the Donald. Totally false. There were rumors that Fox would insert Trump into the debate via video clips and have the other candidate comment on that which would be really dirty pool. Didn't happen.
The only time Trump came up at all was the candidates were asked that if he should be the nominee would they support him. All but Asa Hutchinson raised their hands that they would though Christie and DeSantis waited to see what the others would do before they raised their hands.
It became very obvious that none of the candidates except Christi wanted to include Trump in the debate and the only time DeSantis showed any real backbone was in adamantly saying that saying the time should be spent on how the candidates were qualified and ready to be President instead of what happened in the past. The moderators didn't bring up Trump again. Christie is running on a vendetta against Trump and drew mostly boos from the crowd of 4,000 when he bashed Trump so he eventually gave up on trying to make it about Trump.
All in all the moderators were pretty non combative with very few 'gotcha' moments and the debate went better than I thought it would.
I watched part of the Tucker/Trump interview and will watch it all tomorrow. It seemed to go well too.

I didn't watch. Thanks for the update.Ok, I fibbed. After watching the Trucker interview, I switched over to Fucks News.
Baier asked the candidates to raise their hand if they would support Trump if he got the nomination, and the crowd cheered. Then it turned into a bash-fest against Krispy Kreme.
Trump keeps getting cheers and applause every time the moderator mentions his name.
