Ron DeSantis slammed Trump’s financial record – and handed Team Biden-Harris a ready-made campaign ad
The latest GOP candidates’ debate once again took place without its front-runner, Donald Trump. It was a chaotic squabble with none of them coming across as leader material.
and we're back live at the #gopdebate, where the candidates all are arguing about why THEY should get the One Ring instead of Sauron the Deceiver, who skipped tonight's event pic.twitter.com/h5dWbDZswr

My biggest takeaway from the #GOPDebate so far:
I can't believe trump was afraid to show up to a debate with THESE pathetic losers on the stage.

Highlight of the #GOPDebate: “We only have a few minutes left.”

In Trump’s absence, Ron DeSantis grew a pair and called out the former President’s financial management.
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) takes a swipe at Trump:
“Donald Trump is missing in action. He should be on this stage tonight. He owes it to you to defend his record where they added $7.8 trillion to the debt that set the stage for the inflation that we have.” pic.twitter.com/Pqi5Jivbvu

It clearly took a lot out of him.
Ron DeSantis looks like he’s going to take a shit after criticizing Trump, clearly terrified.#GOPDebate pic.twitter.com/LIj2yNunVt

He was right to be worried – but not about Trump. Within hours, Team Biden-Harris had turned the soundbite into an ad.

Wow – great trolling by Biden campaign. When I ran RNC oppo many moons ago – this is how we did it. All the ads against Trump will be filled with Republican critics – just like his many trials. https://t.co/E2QBkUas2g
