Opinion: The GOP debate’s biggest losers
Wheatley non-resident fellow, Hal Boyd, offered a few insights after watching the GOP debate.
Hal Boyd: Tim Scott was inspiring. But a lot of the rest of the debate wasn’t.
Ronald Reagan won the debate. Republicans didn’t deliver enough moral leadership to compete with him.
The evening began inspiringly enough, with the debate held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and opening with a reference to America as “a shining city on a hill” – a favorite phrase of Reagan’s and an allusion to scripture. But if America remains that city on a hill – in other words, a beacon of moral leadership – you’d be forgiven for missing the message.
