Hats off to Matt Drudge for his post debate poll at Drudge Report. No login required. Vivek Ramaswamy was crushing it by early afternoon with more than 50% of the vote when when participants were asked who they think won the first GOP debate.
Fox News and The Washington Post both ran polls declaring DeSantis the winner.
Maybe a lot of Vivek's supporters read Drudge. Or, maybe the idea of an easily accessible no login required poll was, for a shill, like bacon to a dog, irresistible. Like all crypto meme coins, there is a dump after the pump.

Vivek's opening line for the debate:
