Tonight’s Republican presidential debate was marked by heated exchanges, canned comments, and embarrassing moments. However, one thing that stood out was the realization among some of the contenders that attacking Donald Trump is the only way to make a meaningful impact in the primary process.
For the past year, political commentators have argued that Donald Trump is virtually unstoppable in the Republican primary. However, the debate gave a glimpse of how the primary process could have been contested, even if Trump would have still been the nominee.
Chris Hayes, a political commentator, asked the non-Trump conservatives, “What are you trying to do?” The two debates have been largely uneventful and have not changed the opinion that Trump is the likely nominee. Trump’s answer to the situation is to make himself a dictator.
The question remains whether this shift in the debate will be a game-changer. It is clear that the contenders are beginning to realize that attacking Trump is the only way to make an impact in the primary process. Whether this will be enough to alter the current opinion remains to be seen.
