Desantis has no path if Trump remains in the race. IMHO, all of the Republican candidates understand this clearly, yet they are running, nevertheless, for two reasons: (1) they get money from campaign donations, and (2) if Trump withdraws from the race, the field is wide-open and they wish to position themselves for that eventuality. Why would Trump withdraw? There are many reasons, and who can predict the future: ill health, an assassination attempt, either successful or unsuccessful (God forbid!), some legal complication, or some unexpected change of heart.
