The biggest thing that happened last night was the ending of the era of Trump and the beginning of the era of DeSantis.
I’d like it to be this way - but not sure that’s the case. Donald Trump has an enormous very loyal support base. If someone wins over him in the primaries, it’s likely to be a Pyrrhic victory - with Rep voters deeply divided, that person will be at a serious disadvantage. Unless Trump decides not to run - running against him is likely to be a losing proposition.

I think yesterday’s big lesson was something people knew, like, forever - it’s too risky to run on being NOT the Other Guy. You need ideas - and a vision. That’s what was missing.

De Santis has it. Actually, would be curious if other candidates would try using his coat tales - like, “I want to be a real American Governor, like Ron DeSantis” - and expand on similar ideas. Might have worked.
