Ron DeSantis’ Disney Vendetta Has Jumped the Shark | CPT PPP Coverage

We were reading about the latest entrant into the Republican presidential primary—talk-radio host Larry Elder, a dingbat who got smoked in the 2021 attempt to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom—and really started to wonder: This is about all we’re going to get, isn’t it? Elder, as the Associated Press wrote, “joins a Republican field that includes former President Donald Trump, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.” What a sad, meager list. This is not the 2016 primary, when every Republican politician jumped into the race. Sen. Tim Scott looks ready to enter, but most of the senators with presidential ambitions (Cruz, Hawley, Cotton, Rubio) passed. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo opted against a run earlier this week. Former Vice President Mike Pence could still decide to get in, but it’s telling that he hasn’t yet. DeSantis kind of has to enter the race, because he’d look like a wuss if he decided against it now. But that’s about it! The field is going to be three or four (or two) (maybe one?) real candidates, some vain space-fillers, and a few scammers trying to boost their right-wing media brands. It’s not that broad of a field.
