DeSantis’ Trump endorsement proves he didn’t have what it takes to beat the former prez
NY Post
Even in a political landscape largely defined by its participants’ cowardice, the recent spate of endorsements prominent elected Republicans have bestowed upon Donald Trump stands out as both a cause and symptom of what ails the GOP.
And among those endorsements, the one Ron DeSantis offered after he announced the suspension of his presidential campaign Sunday is especially notable for what it said about the state of the GOP.
“It’s clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance,” noted DeSantis in his farewell to supporters.
“He has my endorsement because we can’t go back to the old Republican guard of yesteryear — a repackaged form of warmed-over corporatism — that Nikki Haley represents,” he concluded.
It was by far the worst moment of his political career.
Much scorn has been heaped on DeSantis for not fulfilling his campaign’s promise.
