Trump campaign pans ‘boring’ second debate that ex-president skipped
The Trump campaign trashed the second Republican debate, which Trump skipped and attempted to counter-program with a competing campaign event.
“Tonight’s GOP debate was as boring and inconsequential as the first debate,” said top Trump campaign aide Chris LaCivita in a statement.
That statement also touted Trump’s lead in the polls, and called on the Republican National Committee to “put an end to any further primary debates so we can train our fire on” Biden.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said former President Donald Trump should be voted off the Republican primary island after a question by the debate hosts fell flat.
Fox News host Dana Perino asked, “Which one of you on stage tonight should be voted off the island?” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the others on the stage said they would not answer that question.
But Christie was called out for writing down a name when the question was asked, and said he believed Trump should be voted off.
