No doubt Trump will get the Republican nomination, but Desantis dropping out is good news for Haley even with the endorsement.
Endorsements don’t make much of a difference, and this leaves just one non-Trump candidate.

Only snowflakes worried that he wouldn’t survive this attack.

I am not a snowflake; I am someone who understands that the left gets what it wants, because it always plays dirty. It was easy to assume a year ago that the Mar-a-Lago raid was the beginning of doing everything necessary to put Trump in jail before the election, and if that didn't work to tie him up in multiple indictment knots so he couldn't campaign, and if that didn't work to just whack him and live with the consequences. I still think the third option is on the table.

DeSantis had to dig pretty deep to find an issue where he disagrees with Trump, that being Fauci.

DeSantis did not even need to support Trump the man. He just needed to support Trump’s policies while waiting in the wings in case 77 year old Trump was not the candidate. Big mistake running for 2024.

I hope and pray that President Trump will become POTUS 47

People can change. Maybe he’ll mature, and lose the snarky and self-satisfied attitude.

Not if he doesn’t run a better campaign than that. It was pitiful.

He would have probably done better had he done nothing but put him name on the ballots and did no campaigning and just continued to push his agenda in Florida with the reporting and publicity that would have garnered him.

Oh for Pete’s sake. From day one Trump brutally savaged him, usually on personal, not policy, bases, including on his weight and height, as if Trump were one to talk on the former.

DeSantis did what was needed in making the endorsement, but not enough for you. Undoubtedly you’re all worked up on the “disloyal” trope. I noticed Trump was a lot less concerned about loyalty when Tim Scott endorsed him over the person who put him in the Senate in 2012. You’re probably still beating the Cruz dead horse from 2016.

I know this will only get you more excited. And no, I’m not a Haley shill— she’s radioactive to me. And “Nevertrumpers” are fools, and I’m not one of them. Just remember to wipe the froth of your lips after you flame me.

Maybe a lukewarm endorsement, but at same time Trump was very disparaging during those primary. Lukewarm as it may be its better than nothing, and is taking the high road. Ron had every right to campaign, and although Trump is my preferred, Ron may be the best the Republicans foot in 4 years, so him getting out now is best for the Trump campaign. Thank you Ron for not being a dweeb like Kasich and Cruz was. I’m glad Cruz finally figured it out but man was he jerk in the 2016 primary.

I actually had high hopes for the guy but thought it was way too soon...and he opened his mouth. Good Lord. All that money wasted. Trump will win even if they toss him in max security

It was 38 degrees in Bradenton this morning, according to my friends who are there now. 🥶

Don’t know if it’s true or not but what I wanted all along and have advocated. It wasn’t his time, and he got coaxed/goaded/convinced to run by others whom I feel were not operating in his best interests (or interests of the country) or who were just plain power hungry hangers-on and couldn’t wait for 2028.

Now there’s only the leftist/independent pawn Haley to deal with.
