The Fourth Republican Presidential Primary Debate was hosted by Megyn Kelly, the most prominent woman in Conservative Inc. She delivered on her promise for an entertaining debate in which candidates would actually debate each other and not the moderators. Right out of the gate, Ron DeSantis came out swinging at Nikki Haley attacking her record on transgenderism. Then he and Vivek Ramaswamy tag-teamed her for lying about her comments against anons on social media.
On Transgenderism
Both Nikki Haley and Chris Christie supported transgenderism last night. Chris Christie tried to frame it as a parental rights issue before Megyn Kelly wrecked him by bringing up his policies as governor of New Jersey. What was not mentioned is that Chris Christie outlawed Change Therapy in New Jersey, so his stance on parental rights is a lie.
Megyn Kelly tees up the gender ideology issue to Chris Christie and Ron DeSantis delivers the knockout blow on both Christie and Haley to the loudest cheers of the night. Masterful stuff.

Ron DeSantis wrecked Haley when he touted his bathroom bill which became law while Nikki Haley opposed such efforts in South Carolina. Desantis called transgendering kids child abuse and stated that he would protect children while Nikki Haley wouldn’t.
On Neoconservatism
Vivek Ramaswamy framed Nikki Haley as wildly irresponsible on foreign policy. He claimed Haley and Christie could not name the three eastern oblasts under dispute in the Russo-Ukraine War. Nikki Haley eventually volunteered an answer Crimea, which is not in eastern Ukraine, and has been Russian territory since 2014. This was a high-risk maneuver by Ramaswamy and it paid off.
On Wokeness
Vivek Ramaswamy went after Nikki Haley for wokeness saying that, “Nikki Haley’s campaign launch video sounded like a woke Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light ad talking about how she would kick in heels.”

The crowd was rather pro-Nikki and also partial to Calvin Coolidge. Nonetheless, Vivek landed another critical hit on Haley’s credibility.
The White Knight To Fat To Sit A Horse
Perhaps most embarrassingly for Nikki Haley was that Chris Christie on multiple occasions came to her defense, defending her integrity and intellect. Christie has some of the highest disapproval of any Republican figure, so his defending Nikki Haley doesn’t look good for her, in general.
Conclusions
Ron DeSantis pimp-slapped Nikki Haley, while Vivek Ramaswamy was a vicious attack dog. As Ramaswamy is still not widely seen as presidential, this appears to be another debate in which DeSantis is the victor and a huge setback for Haley’s campaign.
