Ron DeSantis is toast. We are seeing the GOP establishment - the very force that was supposed to neuter Trump and move to a "Trump without the baggage" candidate - abandon DeSantis.
There have been media voices on the Right and Left fluffing this guy's profile because they seem to want to believe that the GOP is not actually a wholly owned subsidiary of Trump Steaks. It is. Again, the invaluable Josh Marshall: "The GOP is a failed state and Trump is its warlord."
When someone like Glenn Youngkin looks at what happened to DeSantis, is he going to see this as an opportunity or a warning? I think the later.
Trump will be the nominee. The election - if Democrats know what they are doing - will be a referendum on Dobbs and January 6th. If it is, Biden wins.
If you're Youngkin, you have to figure that Trump will be dead or in prison by 2028. Why self-immolate?
