Republicans got a look at their party’s presidential candidates last week during a televised debate, and three prominent New Mexico Rs had plenty to say about it.
Mark Ronchetti, former candidate for governor, and his wife Krysty host a podcast, “No Doubt About It.” They invited political consultant Jay McCleskey to join them in a lively critique of the debaters.
