Glenn Beck REACTS: Who won & who kissed their chances goodbye at last night's GOP presidential debate?
Last night’s GOP presidential debate landed some candidates on the moon, others among the stars, and a few somewhere out in deep space.
Glenn Beck unveils his reactions to each of the candidates’ performance:
“Asa Hutchinson, oof – he’s over.”
“Chris Christie I think is alive to live another day, maybe, but he's looking more and more like a marshmallow. … I thought he seemed very, very out of touch.”
“Nikki Haley is, uh … Nikki Haley.”
Doug Burgum: “No matter how many times he came on screen, I was shocked by the eyebrows, and my first thought was 'who is that again?'”
“Tim Scott was fine.”
“I think there [were] really two winners tonight,” Glenn says, but he first lets the Blaze polls speak for themselves.
According to the BlazeTV audience, 37.2% thought Ron DeSantis won, while 52.2% gave the gold medal to Vivek Ramaswamy.
“There were too many times for me, at least, where [Ramaswamy] put his hand up boldly first, and even DeSantis looked a little wishy-washy at times with his hand,” says Glenn.
Ultimately Glenn thinks “the race really is between those two and then Donald Trump.”

Stu REACTS to last night’s GOP debate – see what you missed!
Stu Burguiere thought the first GOP debate held back in August was a relative success, even considering Trump’s absence.
The second GOP debate, however, was “a catastrophic failure,” he says.
“It was absolutely terrible – all they did was talk over each other the entire time; all of them made the same freaking decision that they needed to be more aggressive and yell about everything,” Stu reproves.
For example, all the candidates clearly “believe the path to the presidency is to yell at Vivek Ramaswamy,” which Stu can’t make sense of, given that Ramaswamy is likely “not going to be president … not at 38 years old.”
He was also unimpressed with Nikki Haley’s failed attempt to pull off the “Donald Trump schtick” by “[yelling] at everybody” and being “insulting for no reason.”
On a positive note, Stu thought Ron DeSantis performed well.
“I don't think DeSantis has had a lot of bad moments, and I don't know that he's done anything to separate himself from the rest of this pack,” he says.
When it comes to Tim Scott, who certainly took on an aggressive disposition, Stu has “seen enough.”
“He just does not seem like he's ready for this or able to do it very well,” he says.
“Pence–same thing … I just don’t see it.”
As for Ramaswamy, Stu thinks he has “a lot to add to the conversation” and is “clean with his language.”
“Now he is, at some level, doing an impersonation of a candidate,” Stu admits, “and I get that – that's a fair criticism of him, but he's not stupid, he’s not a dumb guy; he's a really smart guy, and, you know, he has something to add to the conversation.”
Doug Burgum, on the other hand, might have “a good record in North Dakota,” but “I don’t think [he] has any chance,” says Stu.
Chris Christie, whom one commenter hilariously refers to as “Krispy Kreme,” is similar to Burgum in that he has no chance whatsoever. However, Stu finds him “interesting,” although he admits that he’s “in the minority on this one.”
“He's way more entertaining than Pence, he's way more entertaining than Burgum, he's way more entertaining than Scott … I think he brings something better to this debate,” Stu admits.
In sum, Stu says he’d like to see DeSantis, Ramaswamy, Haley, and Christie back on the stage again.
“And obviously … Trump would be great if he decided to show up.”
