Iowa is not deep MAGA. She is Swamp. Has to care about party money to fund campaigns.

In the overall scheme of things we’re gonna need her when Chuck Grassley quits. It’s not like she’s backstabbing us. DeSantis-the real deal.

Trump’s needlessly insulting of her has lead her to waste political capital and put the ‘first in the nation’ GOP status in jeopardy. Iowa Dems have already lost their ‘first’ status. It would be a good thing for another state to go first.

Should be one National Primary Day. They way we draw out elections in this country is ridiculous.

Yes, the idea of state-by-state was to allow a lesser-known candidate with minimal money to impress those who might not know him and build support and money more slowly. Seems like now everything is MSM and social media, so candidates eliminate themselves without state-by-state opinions.

I was an early DeSantis supporter and love him as my Governor, but it’s time to step aside now and get behind DJT. He’s not even polling double digits anywhere..

The endorsement may be “coveted”, but it won’t win him Iowa.

Trump 47.7 %
DeSantis 17.9 %

I don’t think her endorsement will boost DeSantis into first place or even a close second-place showing.

“ Still hard to believe this is the best the GOP can come up with..”

I wonder why you or anybody would be giving them so much credit as to have someone to go up against Trump. Or why one would even want them to oust Trump

Let me see.

Nothing times nothing. Carry the zero. Is nothing!

DeSantis should go back to Florida and do things that antagonize Democrats. That was always his best campaign strategy that played to his strengths. I thought he was a great prospect for President in 2028. Now I believe he is done.

He totally screwed up by taking the support of the Bush Republican faction and various GOPe "leaders".

Not an original insight, but I liked it: "Trump has all the right enemies. DeSantis has all the wrong friends".

Easily a Top 3 governor in the US. And while you yawn, in political world, someone with that amount of political capital in the 1st in the nation caucus state, it is a huge endorsement. She is beloved by the R base in Iowa. So her endorsement doesn't mean squat to someone from Maryland or Colorado. But it does in Iowa.

We're gonna find out. If DeSantis doesn't get at least a strong 2nd in Iowa, he is done. He should quit before New Hampshire. But we're gonna find out in 80 days or so.
