At American Thinker, columnist Clarice Feldman gives us her reactions to the Tucker Carlson interviews of Scott, Hutchinson, Pence, Haley, Ramaswamy and DeSantis. She’s now the third pundit who picked DeSantis as the “winner.”
She calls Pence and Hutchinson clear losers and suggests they “go home.” She sees merit in Haley and Ramaswamy, and likes DeSantis a lot.
Oddly, she writes nothing whatsoever about Tim Scott beyond noting he was present. Perhaps she was uncomfortable being critical of a black candidate. I get that.
Feldman admired Carlson’s interviewing skill and definitely finds the interview format preferable to the “debate” format.
This is a far better method of letting voters know about the candidates, than what is ridiculously called “debates” -- kick lines of large numbers of contenders, predictable questions from biased moderators, followed by short, often obviously scripted responses and one-line sound bites. No serious candidate should continue to participate in them and no intelligent voter should bother watching them.
