The tension was palpable as the final debate among Republican candidates unfolded last night. With former President Donald Trump's looming presence, many expected fireworks and attacks from the contenders. However, to the surprise of many, the candidates largely ducked Trump's attacks, choosing instead to focus on their own policies and visions for the future. This shift in approach demonstrated a willingness to rise above personal jabs and engage with substantive issues. It's clear that the candidates are keen to differentiate themselves on their merits rather than getting caught up in a war of words. As the race continues to heat up, it will be interesting to see how this dynamic plays out in the coming weeks.
