DeSantis out?

[George K]

He's cancelled all his Sunday AM talk show appearances.

[Jolly]

If not, it's close.

[Mik]

He should take it as a learning experience for the national stage. Still has a future with a little refinement.

Yup.

But, he needs to work on charisma. I don't see any excitement.

[George K]

His campaign claims "scheduling conflicts."

Riiiiight.

[Mik]

Avoiding bullshit excuses like that would be a good first step.

I kind of feel that that's something that either comes naturally or not at all.

[Horace]

Mine is both natural and not at all.

Yeah. You're right.

Either you got it, or you don't.

He ain't got it. Never will.

[Mik]

He’s been elected in Florida twice I believe. Suspect he just needs to edit a bit.

[Renauda]

My impression is that he didn’t have “the fire in his belly” to want it that much from the beginning. Just look at his prevarications leading up to his announcement to campaign. The desire just was not there and people sensed it. That could change down the road - he has the smarts and ability.

[George K]

Campaign “suspended.”

Shame.

[Axtremus]

DeSantis drops out and endorses Trump.

Well my respect for the guy took a hit.

I think you’re right, but he was convinced by those around him he had to strike while the iron was hot

You mean run for the presidency?

He's a viable candidate for 2028.

[Mik]

Agreed. Just needed to have Trump out of the way.

What was he supposed to do?

[Axtremus]

Who's "the guy" and for what did you respect him?

It's politics.

Nikki ain't beating Trump in the primaries. The party will start to coalesce around the nominee.
