The Republican presidential primary debate and Tucker Carlson’s interview with Donald Trump set the X universe on fire last night, with users sharing their thoughts on every candidate. If last night was just a small taste of what’s to come, then the 2024 presidential election cycle is bound to be an incredibly entertaining one.
Critics took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts as both the debate and interview took place. Below are just a few comments on candidate favorites made by influencers and users alike, starting with Patrick Bet-David and yours truly at Valuetainment:
The only one so far who sold the American dream is @VivekGRamaswamy! #GOPDebate
— Patrick Bet-David (@patrickbetdavid) August 24, 2023
First attack.
Pence attacks @VivekGRamaswamy.
“Now is not the time for on the job training”.
A sign of who’s the favorite even though he’s second. #GOPDebate

"I'm the only one on the stage that isn't bought and paid for." @VivekGRamaswamy counters "rookie" attacks.
As @RonDeSantis tries to remember his debate notes…

DeSantis hammers the Trump admin on the lockdown front swearing to never do it again @RonDeSantis

Good move taking charge by Ron DeSantis
— Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) August 24, 2023
Ron Desantis sounds pre-recorded. Fighting the ghost of Trump and Fauci rather than the people on stage next to
him.
Pence giving a lot more fight than I expected.
Vivek still has the crowd.— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) August 24, 2023
Thoughts after first block: Vivek is too smiley; crossed over from nice guy to feeling forced. DeSantis is strong on substance but his smile thing after the answers feels odd. Tim Scott made us laugh and that’s a plus.

“Biden didn’t do this to us… the Republicans did it too.”

Chris Christie says Vivek Ramaswamy sounds like Chat GPT.
I invented that nickname for him. It’s being used by many! I’m a trendsetter.

Vivek the only one who raised his hand for supporting Trump
— Hodgetwins (@hodgetwins) August 24, 2023
Vivek just killed whatever was left of Chris Christie’s political career. Bravo @VivekGRamaswamy!

When asked if you will support Trump if convicted @VivekGRamaswamy without hesitation raises his hand
The others wait to hear the crowd reaction before timidly raising their hands
— Tim Pool (@Timcast) August 24, 2023
Vivek by far the strongest. He knows what time it is.

This is what the GOP would sound like without Trump. Be careful what you wish for. The muscle memory of the old Republican Party is strong. Neocons. Warmongers. Boring. This is a branding disaster save for Vivek.

#TuckerandTrump interview is going very well! As usual Trump is comedic GOLD ✨
Trump had to retire the “Crooked Hillary” name because Joe Biden had so thoroughly outdone her corruption that he deserve the name more than she did 🤭⬇️ pic.twitter.com/6N0jJ7MJfn

Trump addresses the potential of a civil war and open conflict:
"There's a level of passion I've never seen and there's a level of hatred I've never seen. That's probably a bad combination."#GOPDebate @TuckerCarlson pic.twitter.com/8pHZdY6rqq
