    Many of Trump's endorsed candidates did not do well on Nov. 8th.
    *
    Gov. Ron DeSantis DID do well.
    He won convincingly.
    Yet in this OP's opinion, Donald Trump is an egomaniac who is seemingly incapable of putting "Party over Self"
    Trump has ZERO chance of being elected our next president.
    In my opinion, if Trump would just shut up and go away (fat chance of that)...but "if" Trump did that, Gov. Ron DeSantis would have a CHANCE to be a formidable candidate for President in 2024.
    Here is an interesting article on this topic...

    not to Haley, that's interesting

    Bolding mine - you can't say that when a week ago you thought that Scott was "the leader we needed for this exact moment"
    ========================================================================

    COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Ron DeSantis has picked up 10 endorsements in South Carolina from former backers of Sen. Tim Scott’s presidential campaign, support the Florida governor is hoping can shore up his strength in the first-in-the-South primary state as the 2024 GOP field continues to consolidate.

    In a list shared Friday with The Associated Press before its public release, South Carolina state Reps. Bill Taylor and Tom Hartnett Jr. — as well as more than a half-dozen municipal-level elected officials who had backed Scott before he shuttered his bid — are now announcing their support for DeSantis.

    “Ron DeSantis is the leader we need for this exact moment,” Hartnett said. “He not only is the only candidate who I know can win, but he will be a president who will follow through on his promises to reverse the decline of our country.”

    Both DeSantis and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley are trying to pick up supporters and donors from Scott’s campaign following his surprise departure. DeSantis’ campaign argues it is better positioned than Haley to take on former President Donald Trump in early-primary states including South Carolina, which Haley once led as governor...........

    Haley wants to be viewed as a moderate MAGAt. Now, that is cognitive dissonance.
     
    The chief executive of Never Back Down, the primary super PAC supporting Ron DeSantis’s presidential bid, resigned on Wednesday amid increasingly public tensions over strategy that spilled out anew after close DeSantis allies created a new outside group to run ads.

    “Never Back Down’s main goal and sole focus has been to elect Governor Ron DeSantis as President,” the CEO, Chris Jankowski, said in a statement. “Given the current environment it has become untenable for me to deliver on the shared goal and that goes well beyond a difference of strategic opinion.”


    Never Back Down, which as a super PAC can raise unlimited donations, has played an unusually large role in the Florida governor’s White House bid, taking over activities traditionally handled by campaigns, such as field organizing.

    Initially funded with more than $80 million left over from DeSantis’s gubernatorial reelection, it built a massive door-knocking program, hosted many of DeSantis’s events and even took on some of the cost of his private plane travel……
