Who Won the Republican Debate?
From New York Times, In Print — Dec 7th, 2013
The final Republican presidential debate before the Iowa caucuses highlighted more personal clashes than policy differences, with Chris Christie and Vivek Ramaswamy trading barbs while Nikki Haley largely held her ground under fire. Ron DeSantis turned in one of his stronger performances, though none of the contenders landed blows on Donald Trump, the clear front-runner.
Henrietta Treyz, managing partner and director of economic policy research at Veda Partners, noted that Haley’s performance reinforced why top Republican donors see her as their best hope for a non-Trump nominee. “DeSantis, Christie and Ramaswamy aided that effort by spending more time attacking her than offering reasons for their own candidacy,” she said.
