I hope everyone is having a great day.
There is much to talk about.
From President Trump’s talk with Tuker to the GOP (vice) presidential debates.
I want to show you guys the nail in the coffin where DeSantis’ campaign officially dies.
Watch the video right here:

The debate hosts asks the question:
“If former President Trump is convicted in a court of law,
Would you still support him as your party’s choice?
Please raise your hand if you would.”
First, we see Vivek Ramaswamy shoot his hand up, quickly followed by Nikki Haley.
Then we see Ron Desanctimonious shyly look around the room before timidly raising his hand.
C’mon, Ron, you’re going to have to do better than that if you want to reach more than 20% of the GOP nomination!
The folks at Fox News have more on the story:
Former President Trump, who holds a commanding lead over all of his Republican opponents for the GOP nomination, and who notably did not attend the first debate, has been indicted four times.
The Republican candidates all signed a pledge to support whoever wins the GOP nomination. The candidates were asked Wednesday night to raise their hand if they would support Trump should he become the nominee, even if convicted in any of the jurisdictions bringing charges against him.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, former Amb. Nikki Haley, former Vice President Mike Pence, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Sen. Tim Scott, and Christie raised their hands.
Christie then retracted, explaining that “someone’s got to stop normalizing this conduct.”
ADVERTISEMENT“Whether or not you believe that the criminal charges are right or wrong, the conduct is beneath the office of the president of the United States,” Christie said.
Meanwhile, Hutchinson reminded that a year ago, he said Trump was “morally disqualified from being president again as a result of what happened on Jan. 6.”
“More people are understanding the importance of that, including conservative legal scholars, who say he may be disqualified under the 14th Amendment from being president again as a result of the insurrection,” Hutchinson said. “This is something that could disqualify him under our rules and under the Constitution.”
These weak candidates should have taken President Trump’s advice and just backed out of the running.
Following President Trump’s talk with Tucker Carlson, it is more clear than ever that President Trump is going to be the GOP nomination.
I’m not sure anyone doubted it in the first place.
But I digress.
And, of course, Twitter is flaming DeSantis on his lackluster performance at the debates:

DeSantis was already severely lagging behind President Trump, but I imagine new polls are going to be even worse.
The Independent has more on the story:
Six out of eight Republican presidential candidates raised their hands to say they would support Donald Trump as the GOP nominee even if he was convicted in one of the multiple criminal trials he faces.
But Florida governor Ron DeSantis was caught on camera awkwardly looking at his rivals before indicating he would also support the former president.
DeSantis the Disappearing Man.
Ron needed to stand-out to give his campaign a bump.
He did the opposite.
He was out of his league, even with a bunch of D-List political characters. pic.twitter.com/UduEuBDtCB

What a coward, DeSantis waited to see what everyone else would do before answering the question: pic.twitter.com/swOuW8tw9G
