RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: Trump decided to sit out the first Republican primary debate, boasting he had a '50 or 60' point lead in the polls.
Maybe he meant wet-behind-the-ears millennial businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, who possesses intergalactic levels of chutzpah but zero political experience.
Today, Trump has a commanding lead, both nationally and in Iowa, where the first primary caucus will take place in January. It's not '50 or 60' points, but Trump leads DeSantis 42 to 19. The Florida governor's presidential campaign got off to a stuttering start and has stalled badly recently.

With no Trump, the other candidates were left to slug it out among themselves. This was the first time many of the 23 million voters watching on TV had a chance to run the rule over 38-year-old newcomer Vivek Ramaswamy, the son of Indian immigrants. Ramaswamy certainly had the soundbites, which led to Christie accusing him of spouting ChatGPT gibberish. He was straight out of the blocks, with: 'First let me address the question that is on everybody's mind at home tonight. Who is the skinny guy with the funny last name and what the heck is he doing in the middle of the debate stage?'
Tell us what you really think, Chris. Ramaswamy couldn't wait to announce he'd pardon Trump if and when he became President. DeSantis got stronger as the night went on and isn't out of the hunt yet. It's likely Haley and Ramaswamy were both pitching to join a possible Trump ticket as his running mate.
When he did make it to Maui, he appeared to fall asleep at a meeting with those affected and belittled the tragedy by comparing it to a minor kitchen fire at his own home in Delaware, which nearly cost him 'his wife, his dog and his classic Corvette'. Except, it didn't.
