WAR IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS AND JOBS! I’m for sending more aid to Ukraine, but Good Lord, nobody had the balls to make this crude argument during the Vietnam War–not even the Marxists. Well, Carl Oglesby, maybe.
It’s war. People die. Not a question of jobs. https://t.co/nVUTSB5wLP

I thought Nellie Bowles’ take on the Ron-Gav debate was a little off: “the winner was …Trump.” Meh. And really? Luckily a note says it was a “guest item.” Don’t do this again. [$] https://t.co/JQYRjpwLMD

“At each stage, stopping Trump would have required extraordinary action by certain people, whether politicians or voters or donors.”
Extraordinary? All they had to do was control immigration & rob Trump of his animating issue. They had other priorities https://t.co/p71OKfO7EV

One thing I didn’t realize: Many Democratic viewers, having read their social media and the incredibly anti-DeSantis MSM, were probably expecting him to be a dumb Troglodyte thug. He beat the hell out of those expectations (bodes well if he gets in a nationwide general election). https://t.co/ZpsK1uzFs3

One way to think of it: If you made an AI fake and took DeSantis’ words and had Newsom say them, and took Newsom’s words and had DeSantis say them, it would have been one of the greatest wipeouts (in favor of DeSantis’ words) in debate history.

DeSantis clearly wins the Web outtake contest, with the father-in-law clip and the SF feces bite. the toothpaste clip and the school closure issue. If you watched, though, it was closer.

That said, Newsom is clearly a slicker TV presence. DeSantis is the guy you’d rather have as governor, but his affect didn’t quite match that. Should be more calm authority (the facts were on his side) less non-stop combative.

Common sense from the late Charlie Munger: “Very few people want unlimited immigration of a different culture.” Also: ” I think we should have way more control of our borders than we do.
