This piece from Clark is brilliant and I had to share it:

Some independent thoughts on the debate and Trump/Tucker interview.
First the interview; Trump and Tucker, much like Rush Limbaugh years earlier, demonstrated that if you have the right message and credibility you can rise above the established media outlets and beat them. Secondly, is the open discussion of the Left’s escalation against Trump and the complicity of RINOs such as McConnell.
The Debate: The popularity amongst Republicans of Vivek is further confirmation that Republicans and conservatives are motivated by policy and not race or ethnicity. The debate, unfortunately, further weakened Desantis. Yes, I support Trump, but we cannot have another Dan Quayle as follow up to another 4 years of Trump. That was a factor in the Bush v Clinton election and most certainly would have left us vulnerable even if Bush had won re-election. Desantis is a good administrator and would likely make good policy decisions as POTUS. However, he did seem to lack presence during the debate.
Even though I do not trust her, Niki Haley is correct on her position on Ukraine and she articulated it well. She also exposed Vivek’s weakness on foreign policy. Vivek is indeed weak on Israel and other US allies. To his credit he is sincere in his positions and unafraid to defend Trump and call out his enemies and betrayers.
Thirdly, the viewership of the Trump debate and the popularity of Vivek are a clear demonstration of the growing impotence of the RINO GOP establishment. One thing to remember is how dangerous in subterfuge the weakened establishment can be by covertly and overtly allying with the enemy.
Clearly, Pence, Christie, Haley and Hutchinson are egotistically motivated trial balloons by the plutocratic GOP establishment to challenge Trump and they all failed. That failure gives even greater concern about the matter of Trump’s safety discussed by Tucker in the interview.
