Americans for Prosperity hosted a debate watch party to help voters decide on a candidate. Trump still dominated.

It’s a challenging task as the primary becomes increasingly lopsided in the former president’s favor. Those who came to AFP’s event seemed to think the race was pretty much over. Nearly all of the 22 people POLITICO talked to say they will support the GOP nominee no matter who it is.The former president’s looming presence was reflected not just in Iosko’s musings but on the debate stage too.

Though Brian Siwicki, a retiree who was there with his wife, Gennie, said it’s still “too soon” to pick a candidate, he wondered if the candidates on stage “have the moxie.”The gathering of Republican voters still looking for a candidate should have been the exact audience for the candidates on stage. But among those gathered to scarf down the free tavern-style pizza, praise was faint.

The one candidate who stood out to John Picchiotti with the Wheeling Township Republicans was Haley. “She could appeal to women, moderates and voters who felt disenfranchised by Donald Trump.” Fernando Ramirez, who works in public affairs, sat down with pizza hoping to settle on a candidate but left not really liking any of them. “Immigration is important to me, and I don’t think any of them took the issue seriously,” he said.
