    I mean, they were all destined to fail. They know they don’t have a chance against the MAGA cult. Maybe DeSantis thought he had a shot a year ago, but he failed to evolve and got caught in this eternal cycle of kissing trumps ass and occasionally offering mild critiques. Haley is just there to build her national profile. Vivek is most likely a paid troll of some kind, but who is paying him is anyone’s guess. But yeah, his purpose was to make everyone else look dumb and weak while also kissing trumps ass. He was a proxy trump.

      Ron might have had a real shot before he took on the Mouse in a legal battle, any loss is seen as weakness and that can’t be abided by the GOP. Disney may be evil themselves but they did everyone a solid by crushing him out like a cigarette even if it was in self interest

        I don’t know if he did. The more people saw of him, the more people realized he’s really weird and kind of repulsive… the pudding fingers, the bobblehead, the shoe lifts, “thigh” food…
