I thought the hand raising was pretty funny. 
Only one was quick the rest were like.. should i.... and one was barely raised (like hoping no one saw it lol).

Lol irony, right?

It figures that so many of the candidates stated goals--e.g., firing the head of the FBI, cleaning house at the DOJ, pardoning Trump--
were based on the assumption that their prosecution on Trump was unwarranted, just "weaponization," etc. because

he either did not perpetrate a coup or was justified in doing so (because the election really was stolen by Biden). 

So many in the audience would want to know if a possible candidate bought into the Big Lie. If not, how could they be trusted
to go after those parts of government prosecuting people for the coup? So if you, as a candidate, stated you believed the
election was stolen, that would convince voters you could be trusted to pardon Trump and punish his persecutors.
