All DeSantis can do is crush it in IA and “let the chips fall where they may”. But if MAGA & the Establishment form this unholy alliance with the bulk of the party acquiescing with this, I’m not sure what the strategy is to out-delegate them to the convention.
*****************
Any hope for any Republican pretender candidate will be dashed on Super Tuesday, on that day Trump will rack up an insurmountable lead in delegates in mainly winner take all primaries.
As far as Haley being VP, I’m not a fan of the ticket and would prefer for Trump to pick a stronger candidate. I’ll begrudgingly vote for it, but not without reservations & will oppose Haley in the future if she runs in 2028.
Trump won’t chose Nikki. It’s unfathomable that he would.
To even consider it shows a lack of judgement and that he did not learn from his previous choices while potus.
