Debbie Wasserman Schultz-This is the lasting memory debate watchers will recall fromĀ @RonDeSantisĀ performance tonight. Heā€™s great at deafening silence and robotic, canned answers when confronted with hard questions.

Sen. Jason Pizzo-No one shaved offĀ @GOPĀ support fromĀ @realDonaldTrumpĀ .Ā @NikkiHaleyĀ had moments.Ā @VivekGRamaswamyĀ had fun and fouls,Ā @AsaHutchinsonĀ andĀ @DougBurgumĀ were dull, melting wax sculptures,Ā @ChrisChristirĀ did his Jersey schtik,Ā @Mike_PenceĀ gave a strained and defensive sermon,Ā @votetimscottĀ attended, andĀ @RonDeSantisĀ evaded simple yes/no questions (on ā€˜20, crime and climate change) and continues to pretend Florida didnā€™t close schools, bars, beaches and nursing homes. EvenĀ @FoxNewsĀ panelists characterized this as an ā€œundercardā€ event. Trump won by not attending.

AG Ashley Moody-This criminal duo thought they could get away with stealing more than $10,000 worth of items from eight different Walgreens stores throughout the state, but they were wrong.

Florida is a law-and-order state, and these defendants now face serious felony charges.
