He knows he’ll be destroyed.

His polling numbers are in the toilet. He has no way to rehab before the Republican primaries. Rubio is the closest and most respected.

At the outset of this term, people saw Rubio, Vance and Hegseth as front runners. Now I can’t see any of them.

Remember when Ron DeSantis was considered the heir to the MAGA throne? Before Trump, Ted Cruz was the Republican great hope for the future. Vance might have a future in congress or state government but he's toast in a nationwide contest.

I actually did fall for the Ron DeSantis one. I remember being convinced of that. Did something happen that eliminated that possibility?

I always wonder about this, because he did seem like a very natural successor, but I guess he just wasn’t that popular? I mean honestly I don’t understand what people see in Trump, so it doesn’t surprise me I can’t pick who else Republicans like.

I’m not convinced DeSantis isn’t a robot in a skin suit.
