In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable Podcast we discuss the First GOP Primary Debate of 2023 and the Strategic Focus of the GOP.  How wise is it for Donald Trump to be absent from the GOP debate?  What should be the focus of the GOP for 2024?  Should they focus on social issues like abortion, transgenderism, religious liberties, parental rights, culture wars, etc.?  Or, should they leave those topics alone and focus on more secular issues like the economy, energy independence, border security, crime, trade, foreign policy, etc.?
