Being a lying, obnoxious, fascist asshole doesn’t work for every Republican candidate apparently.
This should be a surprise to no one.
I’m surprised it’s both this early and this late. The fact that he came in second in Iowa and then dropped out before New Hampshire is baffling.
His departure from the race allows Mr DeSantis to avoid an embarrassing potential third-place finish in New Hampshire to Ms Haley, who has focused far more of her resources in the state.
But a person familiar with Mr DeSantis’ election night plans in New Hampshire was completely caught off guard by the news of his exit.
Seems like he under-invested in the state and expected to lose. I wouldn’t be surprised if trump promised him a cabinet position to drop out early.
This puts Nikki Haley in an interesting position. If she continues the 1-on-1 with Trump, it’s basically doubling-down on Trump losing or having a bad term to bolster her credibility down the line.
Man what a perfect example of how not to run a campaign. $150 million spent and a 30 point margin loss to the lead. What do expect from the team who had the idiotic idea to do an audio only announcement on Twitter. Man what was going on in that meeting. “Heya meatball Ron, you know Twitter, the social media site that ranks 4, the company that shaved off half its market cap in the past year, where a majority of workers were fired or quit, where the owner had his brother took out server back ups with a rented van, the place that could face lawsuits from regulatory bodies, and, whose owner use a fat roll build in Elden ring cuz he equips 2 shields in his left hand slots, and whose company currently has a non-existent legal department? Yeah we want to partner with them.”
