None of the Republican presidential hopefuls on stage at the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California on Wednesday night gained any significant ground in the second GOP debate of 2023-24.
That was the general conclusion of a group of political experts with whom Newsmax spoke shortly after the two-hour debate concluded. Among them was Arizona State University Prof. Donald Critchlow, founding editor of the Journal of Political History.
Critchlow blamed what he called "the bad format and terrible panelists" on National Chair Ronna McDaniel and the Republican National Committee.Critchlow's conclusion was echoed by Chapman University Prof. Luke Nichter, who told Newsmax, "In the three acts of a Greek tragedy, in Act II, the plot gets more complicated. That's where we are tonight."
"But there were a number of memorable moments that we didn't see in the first debate," he continued. "[South Carolina Sen.] Tim Scott was the one who finally got to Vivek Ramaswamy, who is normally accustomed to getting on a roll. Scott had a great line about race, discrimination, family, and the Great Society's War on Poverty.
Nichter also voiced surprise that "no one really addressed the concerns of the day: the looting in Philadelphia, the United Automobile Workers strike in Michigan, the first impeachment hearing tomorrow against [President Joe] Biden, the allegations against Sen. [Bob] Menendez [D-N.J.], immigration and the southern border, or the pernicious inflation that nibbles away at so many Americans from all sides.
