On it and its tomorrow. 115 it expires because on one 16 at 4 in iowa, hes done. Today he has as much power as he will ever have and i realize i will not win and i urge my followers to support donald trump. And then hes a big hero and he goes and runs for governor in ohio and a very successful story. On the 16th hes just going to be better and he wasted all the time. That requires selfawareness. I wonder if thats not what Ron Desantis ultimately does a couple of days from now. If things dont go as hoped in iowa, hes very young and could easily run for the republican nomination in 2028 if he plays his cards right. If this is not the or for him but if he exits The Race gracefully and make smart choices then that would be a. First of all i think will over perform by 8
Underdog. Thats how i have done every race that i have ever been in. So we are waiting for the governor on the stage right now. She has been out with some of the other candidates and you can see it is a pretty packed room here. One of the reason theyre optimistic is they believe that their supporters are enthusiastic. Even with this weather, that they can count on them to turn out. When there is this unpredictable factor of extremely cold weather, that it could make a battle for them if you trust that holes, likely for second place. So what is the Desantis Plan . Its a combination of that and i am told by Super Pac that they have knocked on 940,000 doors here in iowa alone over the last several months. Never back down
I think he has been there and flooded the market and flooded the zone. The only problem with Vivek Ramaswamy as he has galvanized young voters but i dont think young voters will show up Tomorrow Night and that weather and some good football and a lot of variables. We will see what happens but it i got fact checked on tv the other night. But you cannot have a President And Vice president from the same state. So there is no way for Ron Desantis to have a future as donald trumps Vice President so he needs to figure out quickly. For Ron Desantis The Race is probably over for him if he underperforms. More to come on Iowa Tonight with the i important block of voters andnd Evangelicicals Sid with the f former President T R desantis a and Nikki H haley. Joining g us next. T
Even voters that feel incredibly motivated to go and vote for him would reasonably look at the 30 Point Lead and say, do i have to stand in the gym with 30 Degree Weather when he will clearly run away with this . We will see. In the end its most likely to hurt Haley And Desantis but you could certainly see that argument the other way. Nikki haley has the lowest numbers and perhaps the worst ground game. But she has momentum and if anyone in The Race has one thing that is somewhat of an intangible , Nikki Haley has that. Which is momentum riding into iowa. Shes we want to be outside of any other candidate outside of Donald Trump of the 30 Point Lead over whatever. At the end of the day, iowa has done the job. They have called The Field and you no longer have Chris Christie or mike pence. And if there is any hope there cannot not be three tickets out of iowa but really only two
