But there\u2019s just some things that money can\u2019t buy.&nbsp;&nbsp;South Carolina\u2019s fealty to the twice-impeached, four times indicted former President is almost as strong as their addiction to the low country boil called \u201cFrogmore Stew\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paragraph Six<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This is the beginning of paragraph six \u2013 a fitting place for the end of Ron DeSantis.&nbsp;&nbsp;He was the \u201canointed one\u201d, the boy-Governor picked to stand in for Donald Trump.&nbsp;&nbsp;He had all of the \u201cissues chops\u201d; things like his stand against Covid protections, his attack on \u201cWoke America\u201d, and his abuse of LGBTQ children in Florida.&nbsp;&nbsp;And he had none of the liabilities:&nbsp;&nbsp;no one was charging him with ninety-one felony counts.&nbsp;&nbsp;He wasn\u2019t (isn\u2019t) likely to see the inside of a Federal prison soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">So he ran as Trump\u2019s \u201cmini-me\u201d, with millions of dollars in funding to back him up.&nbsp;&nbsp;And as he got out in public, we found that, like Democrat Howard Dean back in 2004, the more people saw him, the less they like him.&nbsp;DeSantis was just awkward and weird, when it came to \u201cretail politics\u201d,&nbsp;&nbsp;shaking hands and kissing babies.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And he was running to be the \u201creplacement\u201d when the \u201creal thing\u201d was still there, Trump.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It was the momentum of all that money that propped DeSantis up for over a year.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, like Howard Dean, it was in the first taste of actual voting that \u201cthe Party\u201d got their chance to weigh in.&nbsp;&nbsp;And they did so, in small numbers in a snow storm \u2013 they wanted Trump.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">DeSantis didn\u2019t face the public in the end \u2013 he left us a message on \u201cX\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sure he said the right things, \u201c\u2026when there is no course forward, no path to the nomination, it\u2019s time to suspend\u2026\u201d, but DeSantis also had the opportunity to lay a future path for his Party.&nbsp;&nbsp;But he didn\u2019t:&nbsp;&nbsp;instead he \u201ckissed the ring\u201d of Donald Trump, one more time.&nbsp;&nbsp;He still wants to be in the MAGA Party, even if he lost to the MAGA King.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It was as awkward as the big white boots the DeSantis got caught wearing, or the \u201ccontroversy\u201d over whether he was \u201cDee-Santis\u201d or \u201cDuh-Santis\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;Even he wasn\u2019t sure.&nbsp;&nbsp;But the MAGA Party was sure about him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fore-Shadow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This as opposed to the end of the Chris Christie campaign, just a couple of weeks ago.&nbsp;&nbsp;Christie didn\u2019t hide behind \u201cX\u201d, he stood out in a town-meeting and talked to people, something DeSantis couldn\u2019t do.&nbsp;&nbsp;And while Christie has a kind-of New Jersey gangster \u201caura\u201d, he made the purpose of his failed campaign clear.&nbsp;&nbsp;He, like Haley, wanted to be the nexus of the \u201ctraditional Republicans\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;He still seems to believe that there are some out there.&nbsp;&nbsp;And Christie made the important point, even in his toughest moment.&nbsp;&nbsp;Democrat, Republican, or even MAGA:&nbsp;&nbsp;Trump is dangerous for America, and stopping him should be the national priority.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">If you didn\u2019t hear the speech (eleven minutes), you should check it out (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8PnTu6oNJoQ\">Christie<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Christie, DeSantis, Haley:\u00a0\u00a0the side-shows are almost over.\u00a0\u00a0By the end of February we will be onto the general election; <strong>Trump versus Biden \u2013 the Re-Match<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s the crucible America needs to go through one more time.\u00a0\u00a0And, if Biden wins, perhaps we can get back to the Republican Party of past generations.\u00a0\u00a0Because if Trump wins, we will all be in MAGA world, perhaps for  longer than just four more years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Are They?
