OPINION
Dear Friends,
Seeing no path for a win in New Hampshire, with Trump way ahead in the polls, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, graciously withdrew from the race for the GOP nod for the Republican candidacy. DeSantis, remarkably endorsed Trump as he departed from the contentious contest.
All things considered, in my view, DeSantis’ departure and endorsement of Trump showed outstanding class, recognition of reality, and love for his country. His realization that Biden must be defeated to save our nation and the importance of the eventual unification of the party in order to win shows me his character.
Furthermore, there is no doubt that the 7% support for DeSantis will now go to Trump, which should create a significant victory over Nikki Haley in the upcoming New Hampshire primary. It appears that Trump is way ahead of Haley in her home state of South Carolina which afterwards should force her to withdraw, as well.
All this being said, Ron DeSantis is an excellent Governor of Florida. Unfortunately for him right now, Trump has a solid 40% Republican base, which regardless of the corrupt and fallacious Democrat prosecutions, seems to only get stronger. I do believe that DeSantis is Presidential material and will definitely have another shot in the future. In the meantime, I look forward to DeSantis keeping Florida free, safe, and prosperous.
Trump should get the sole GOP nod after he wins the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries and hopefully Nikki Haley will see the light and endorse Trump as did DeSantis and the Republicans can move forward united into the battle for the soul, freedom, and life blood of our nation.
