GOP Candidates Showcase New Debate Strategy: Be Unhinged

Between Nikki Haley calling Vivek Ramaswamy"scum," Ramaswamy calling out Ron DeSantis for his heels, or Tim Scott calling for war with Iran, Wednesday night was unhinged., the five leading candidates to challenge the former president for the GOP presidential nomination resorted to their last, best hope for relevance on the debate stage Wednesday night.

But Ramaswamy, who has desperately sought media attention as the oxygen of his longshot campaign, was predictably the instigator of most unhinged moments on stage in Miami on Wednesday. During a debate over TikTok, Ramaswamy—who is the only candidate on the Chinese-owned app—noted that Haley’s daughter was also on TikTok.The 38-year old candidate didn’t contain his venom to enemies inside the debate hall.

Ramaswamy didn’t bother answering the question with specifics—just that he would “go a step further” than DeSantis or Haley and their hawkish answers—while Scott said Israel should “wipe Hamas off the map.

The harshest direct criticism leveled against Trump came from DeSantis, at the beginning of the debate, when he called the former president “a lot different than the guy he was in 2016” and argued Trump “owes it to you to be on this stage to explain why he should get another chance.”
