Welcome to Opinion’s commentary for the third Republican presidential debate, held in Miami on Wednesday night.
The debate didn’t answer the question of whether she can really cut into DeSantis’s more conservative bloc of support.
He deserves praise for his substantive, competent answers, but there’s not much of a market for that in the Republican primaries.
In a debate dominated by a neoconservative revival, Ramaswamy — in both style and substance — was the only Trumpist on the stage.
primary voters relished his attacks on the Republican National Committee and the debate moderators.
