But, with the exception of Nikki Haley, all of them have dropped out, and yesterday, a big name announced his exit: Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor who once seemed like the best bet to unseat Trump from the helm of the Republican party.
His downfall was a mediocre second-place showing in Iowa last Monday, despite pouring everything his campaign had into winning the first state to vote in the GOP nomination process.

He seemed like he was mentally unstable for a politician lol.
You could move to New York or California if you like authoritarianism.
Ron is better than Trump though. Not looking forward to two bad choices again for president but seeing we are a banana republic I know voting doesn't really make much difference regardless of who gets in.

OK.
Time out.
And remember: I have NEVER, since 1980, voted for a WINNING Presidential Candidate....
FOUR MILLION YEARS of Human Evolution, and two Hundred And Fifty Years (or so) of the American Experiment...
