DeSantis is now barely scraping by in the double digits and struggling to reassure the wealthy donors who believed he was the key to taking the party back from Trump.
What matters is this: DeSantis' collapse has eliminated any serious chance that Trump will lose the Republican nomination, or rather, it has shown the whole notion of moving on from Trump to be a premature fantasy of the GOP, which has conspired time and time again to get Trump out of its hair, only to be thwarted by the base.
So deluded are the Never Trumpers that they insist Trump is only winning the primary through the machinations of the Democrats.
See, Democrats secretly view Trump as an asset, compared to the formidable DeSantis, who is being denied what is rightfully his by the conniving Deep State and its cynical campaign to make Republican voters feel sorry for Trump, a man who has sacrificed wealth, reputation, and now, possibly his liberty for the sake of putting America first.
The more DeSantis legitimizes the deep state and its crusade against Trump, the more he damages his own credibility with Republicans, who sympathize with Trump and share his feeling of being besieged by a lawless government.
What is DeSantis thinking when he attacks Trump for using campaign funds to pay his exorbitant legal fees? For countless Republican voters, Trump's war with the deep state is the campaign.
We will see Chris Christie waddle on stage at some point to call Trump an insurrectionist, and CNN and the Washington Post will say, "Is this the end of Trump?" for the millionth time.
