I am so fucking mind boggled that no one fucking gets this. I feel like like I'm 2 years into "covid" and I'm still the only person in HOME DEPOT without a mask. WTF I thought you guys knew what you were fucking doing.
Iowa was 51%/49% Trump again (wow that fucking 51% again eh). They NEED NEED NEED all of that 49% to colisend in to one candidate and they need it IMMEDIATELY.
So obviously they needed either Haley or Desantis to drop out IMMEDIATELY as they were both 23% equal. And right on queue it happens! Just what they needed against all other logical sense it happened!
Ie ask yourself. Why TF would Desantis drop out when he had equal footing with Haley right now if he was really running to win? Why wouldn't he wait to see who the VOTERS choose over AT LEAST the next few primaries to see if either he or haley topple. It's because the DS needs ALL the votes to go either Haley or Desantis RIGHT TF NOW.
And if you're "thinking" Desantis is just "clearing the way for Trump". Then why tf didn't he just stay in, absorb Haley votes until she had no pathway to winning THEN drop out?
Campainging is all about spending resources where votes matter most, no side will bother to outspend the other to win by a larger margin than necessary
Most likely because they buy votes by the vote so why spend more than you have to and also why change the outcome to something off more than you have to.
Also I think they get off setting the 51/49% signature.
All the polls had DeSantis in the single digits in NH. Haley is polling much better there largely because they allow independents to vote in primaries. These people would never vote Republican but they enjoy showing up and spoiling the whole thing. If enough unaffiliated leftoids show up they could give Haley the win just to see Trump lose.

You're only enforcing the argument. Why are super clear losers staying in but Desantis someone with equal chance as Haley dropping out?
