Hey now, have optimism. Maybe he’ll be the first to be actually murdered by Trump

You mean Pence isnt available?

saw that coming from a parsec away,

I feel like this perfectly describes the current sociopolitical and ecological trajectories of our country

He ran out of money prematurely, and the campaign came to a screeching halt. He could have tried to limp along to the primary but he would look very bad doing so and every reporter would mock him, or he drops out early.

I’m also surprised but his campaign was dead.

He invested heavily into a weak second place win in Iowa. Sure he got more delegates than Nikki, but only barely. Additionally he didn’t win a single county, all but one went to Trump, the last going to Haley.

His prospects in New Hampshire were near zero, leaving an uphill battle leading into Super Tuesday. He’d need to beat Nikki in South Carolina, which wasn’t going to happen.

A second place flail wasn’t going to work long term and only likely to cause damage. I’m aware he endorsed Trump, but that’s just to ensure the position is available in 2028. If Haley wins in a LOOOOOONGSHOT he is done. If Haley loses, he can jump back in. If Trump wins/loses he can jump back in. Technically Trump could lose and come back in 4 years but everyone is just waiting for him to die. Most probably expected it to happen by 2024, but no such luck.

(To clarify, this isn’t me wishing Trump dead, he’s just an unhealthy old shitbag that father time is likely to get sooner rather than later.)

I think his campaign was failing from the inside. He simply couldn’t muster any further.

I think he was probably offered the veep position by the Trump campaign if he dropped out now. Trump wants to wrap up the primaries as soon as possible, so he can start concentrating on attacking Biden, plus the longer the primaries last, the weaker Trump looks for the general election, especially with Haley and DeSantis attacking him for weeks before he wraps up the nomination. So, most likely Trump offered DeSantis the veep position if he dropped out right away, especially since Trump’s been hinting for the last few days who his veep choice would be.

Of course, DeSantis accepted, because he doesn’t have much choice. His campaign is floundering, his poll numbers in Florida have dropped sharply. and Disney will be investing heavily in an opponent against DeSantis in the next Florida governor election. The veep position would be the best option of the ones he has available.

But, if Trump does make him veep, Trump had better sleep with one eye open. DeSantis is power hungry enough, that Trump should be very careful or he might have a very convenient accident, sort of like a Russian falling out of a window.

Didn’t last as long as Jeb! but nothing that quite reaches the “please clap” moment sadly

Dude opened up so many “war on” fronts. He really waged a war against WOKENESS as a vague term that nobody could explain what it meant, then attacked major corporations like fucking Disney.

What a god damn moron.

Idk Trump is trying to run again so we’ll see how far he goes

Trump will make him walk out without his lifts just so he can look taller

Bruh, what’d I miss?

Now she’s going to lose.

She was going to lose before, but she still is.

Nothing? I think their campaigns are pretty separate.

Nothing really.

Classic Jeb.
