Ridiculous "debate."

Trump was right to avoid that train wreck. It accomplished nothing. It did nothing to showcase anyone's opinions. (Except, DeSantis is distinguished as wanting to start a war with Mexico. He thinks he can send in the military against the cartels. He did not answer the question asked of how he would accomplish that.)

Mostly, questions were avoided. Got no answer? Blather on about something else. Even the hosts were strangely off center. They couldn't control the 7 idiots on stage without joining in with pleas for them to shut up, contributing to the bedlam.

Well, it's over now. One more to go. The clown car will load again and pull up to the station. The embarrassment that is the GOP is never ending. This same debacle is found in Congress, with little idiots running around doing anything but their jobs--oh wait, their jobs are to disrupt the function of the Government, to help Trump avoid prison. Sorry, I forgot.

Well, Trump was there in spirit, anyway.

They ceded to the participants.

IMO, that's why present debates are a waste of time.
