Give a potential zinger that each candidate could say at the debate and who it might be in response to.

They should call their opponents “woke.” I’m sure no one will be expecting that.

I know that I would say this to Christie:

"You have the tenacity to accuse others of crimes when you as Governor did Bridgegate"

Or

"You have the tenacity to talk about electability when you left office with single digit approvals"

It's easy to zing with another's bad record.

The key for a successful zinger in a Republican primary debate is you have to make sure it is not above a 3rd grade reading level to make sure the audience can understand it.

These, for example are definitely in the no-go zone:

These may be what you would say, but you are not a Republican, now are you? No use of big words like "tenacity."

Oh come on, it's so easy to poke fun at Christie, he's done very naughty things, is extremely unpopular, and was the first to endorse Trump in 2016 in a humiliating appearance.

Christie can't even say that Trump's a fat bastard, because the reply would be "look who's talking". (is that bellow 3rd grade ?)
