0:24.2	It is tonight the fight for second place in the Republican priorities.
0:28.3	Big Republican nomination battle tonight, except that Donald Trump is not on the stage.
0:33.6	Is that going to hurt him in any real way?
0:35.1	Well, I mean, certainly not going to hurt him in the polls, given the fact that he is currently leading the race by some 40 points over the rest of the field combined.

1:49.3	January, which is when those first Iowa caucuses are. So Trump is basically trying to take out
1:54.6	DeSantis early. He's putting all of his focus onto Santis, none on any of the other candidates.
