The first and largest change that's happened since our last discussion on the republican primaries, has been Chris Christie dropping out of the race. The debate hosted by CNN consisted only of Nikki Hailey and Ron DeSantis, since Vivek Ramaswami did not have enough public support in the state of Iowa. As for Donald Trump, he declined to take part in the debate at all. According to him, why would he allow the other two candidates to slander him when he's so far ahead of them in terms of polling.
I did not watch the entire debate myself, as I saw very little point in completing the whole broadcast. I do not see either Nikki or DeSantis as having a chance at winning the presidential nomination. Even if they did have a chance, I still wouldn't want to support them since I disagree with most of their policies in addition to their personal character flaws. As far as Trump himself, he had a town hall sort of event in Iowa that was hosted by FOX news, where the moderators asked Trump a series of questions related to policy and his political stances. Many of those questions came from members of the audience. I have to say that I did not watch this event at all, but I can assume that such meetings were similar to the previous ones that Trump has held.
As things stand right now, my personal thoughts are that if Trump remains unconvicted of any crimes, I will probably support him hesitantly - as Trump is better than any of the other proffered choices in my opinion. I know that there are many people in the country who don't like trump for a myriad of different reasons, many of which I acknowledge. Given the fact, that Trump was able to improve the general economy, national security and foreign relations amidst all of the political and social resistance, I think that he can do it again for the benefit of the nation. Regardless I detest his brusque personality
