BBC reporting that DeSantis has dropped out and (unsurprisingly) is backing TrTrump.

A wise move. His campaign was awful and the sooner its forgotten the better for him.

Should make New Hampshire more interesting.

I'm shocked...

Your're not though?

What's the point of Haley wasting money now?

Unless she shifts to become an Anti Shitgibbon candidate she's got as much chance as I have of becoming president

Primaries are all about momentum and while it is at this stage about 99% Trump’s to lose, Haley does stand a decent chance in New Hampshire on Tuesday. She’s currently polling somewhere between 35-40%.

Really there’s one final big unanswered question that will determine things… Were those planning to vote Christie, Desantis or Vivek looking for any Trump alternative? Or is Trump their second choice?

The only way Haley stands any chance is if the voting is split into two major camps of “Trump” and “Not Trump” and the latter coalesces behind her.

My guess is if she doesn’t finish ahead of Trump on Tuesday she will withdraw, leaving him as the defacto nominee after just two states. Not sure if that has ever happened for the party in opposition but that’s the cult in action.

It’s frankly going to take a miracle at this stage.

If trump becomes the nominee this far out just watch him try and put the brakes on all his court cases.

This joke has been around for awhile but it’s still funny. Fuck him.

He’s going to try that no matter what so I don’t think it changes much and also it won’t work so whatevs.

I figure if she can get to the 40s she hangs in but think you’re right at high 30s or less. But only a matter of time because he will go full bore on her next. Also not sure how her fundraising looks. Of course it was DeSantis who destroyed DeSantis given how milquetoasty he is/was and NH has some better differentiating points, sort of.

Very true. He can however devote all of the time he would have been campaigning to being an absolute dick in court.
