Here's the thing about these debates: The Republicans have no platform or policies. All they have is old white people fears. So the debate sounds like this:
"What is your stance on minimum wage?"
"The minimum wage should increase so that all Americans can afford to survive in this nation."
"WOKE MIGRANTS ARE GONNA FORCE YOUR KIDS TO GIVE YOUR TRUCK A SEX CHANGE OPERATION!"
And you're going to tell me there's a meaningful winner of this mediocre reality TV show?
