    denying Jeb Bush the party's nomination and possible election in
    2016. In their minds it was his turn and it was stolen from him by
    an outsider and political neophyte Donald Trump. How dare he upset
    their applecart.

    What the old GOP establishment has never figured out is the reason
    the rank and file Republicans abandoned them is because they found
    a guy in Donald Trump who would fight for the things they believed
    in. The old establishment claimed to believe in those same things,
    but when push came to shove, they would get rolled by the Democrat
    leadership because they didn't have the stomach for a fight. We saw
    it in Bush 41. We saw it in Senate majority leader Bob Dole. We saw
    it in Bush 43. We saw it in one Republican House Speaker after
    another. When the MSM started to criticize them, they would wilt
    like flowers.

    When I first learned Trump was going to attempt a comeback, I was
    lukewarm to the idea. No more. I am all in for Donald Trump. Not
    only will he get my vote, he will get my time and my money. I will
    do my part to make sure the next president isn't named Joe, Kamala,
    Gavin, or Michelle. The country needs four more years of Donald
    Trump.

    She is also a war monger, best friend to China and a card carrying
    globalist. The citizens of SC despise her.

    When a state holds a primary and Trump isn't even on the ballot
    and you come in a distant second to "none of these candidates",
    you should ask yourself where do you see a path to victory.

    Ayep.

    I wonder why she is staying in the race?
    She sure does have an interesting collection of donors.

    Something is going on here.

    She's the Republican insurance policy in case Trump somehow gets
    disqualified.

    Desantis didn't actually withdraw, he suspended his campaign.
    If Trump was disqualified, Desantis would be back in the race.
