While that may be true, DeSantis did serve the function of diluting the Hillary Haley vote, making Trump’s victory margins more impressive.

As long as Haley remains in the race, DeSantis needs to as well.

If something catastrophic happens to Trump, either legal or health-wise, do we want Nikki Haley to be the only candidate remaining?

“If something catastrophic happens to Trump, either legal or health-wise, do we want Nikki Haley to be the only candidate remaining?”

No and hell no. But apparently, ‘some’ wanted all GOP candidates to withdraw (or never have bothered to enter the race at all) and fall down in fawning adoration and subservience to the Don. Never anticipating that “stuff happens” and our side could be doubly screwed re: that “something catastrophic” happening. I’d call that tunnel vision, but that would be ten steps up from what it actually is.

If something catastrophic happened to Trump it’s not as if Nikki Haley would be getting the nomination by default.

Is the convention in July or August? Remember the convention officially nominates presidential candidates at that time.

If something catastrophic happened to Trump before then, all of his pledged delegates at the convention would then become free agents ,and free to vote for other candidates at that time.

It’s not as if delegates would have to choose only among officially declared presidential candidates as of now. Candidates who are not officially declared as of now could be nominated by the convention.

If something catastrophic happens to Trump...

The civil war goes hot. And the "elections" become an irrelevant sideshow. Control of police and military forces will be the only important factor left.
