DeSantis facing growing calls to drop out of presidential race: ‘No clear path to nomination'

Wall Street Journal urges DeSantis drop out of presidential race: ‘No clear path to nomination'
Editorial board said DeSantis' 'Iowa result is disappointing after he invested so much time and money in the state'
By Gabriel Hays Fox News
Published January 16, 2024 5:00pm EST

The Wall Street Journal editorial board called for Republican presidential candidate Gov. Ron DeSantis, Fla., to drop out of the primary following his near 30-point loss to former President Trump in the Iowa caucuses Monday night.

The board argued that DeSantis can’t beat Trump to snag the GOP nomination and should exit the race to give former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley a shot at beating Trump.

"Mr. DeSantis faces no clear path to the nomination. He’s well behind Ms. Haley in New Hampshire and South Carolina. If he believes, as he says, that Mr. Trump can’t win in November, he should leave the race and give Ms. Haley a chance to take on Mr. Trump one on one," the Journal declared.
Before making the case for Haley, the board gave a rundown on why DeSantis would not be able to overcome the former president even though he seemed a promising candidate when the primary race started.

It stated, "Mr. DeSantis seemed the likeliest candidate to do so after his 2022 victory and stellar governing record in fast-growing Florida. But his Iowa result is disappointing after he invested so much time and money in the state."

The editorial claimed that DeSantis’ strategy of running to "Mr. Trump’s right" on social issues like abortion didn’t yield enough of a result, noting "there isn’t much room in that lane." It added, "The Florida Governor earned some evangelical support in Iowa for Florida’s ban on abortion after six weeks, but Mr. Trump ran as the President whose Supreme Court appointees voted to overturn Roe v. Wade."

Would that be Donald Trump and Koch Brothers collect calling DeSantis?

Trump and Haley both declined to participate in the New Hampshire debate on ABC

Ron DeSantis went out and publicly stated he would attend anyway and debate 2 empty chairs

ABC just announced they will be cancelling the debate

There goes two people who are afraid to debate Ron DeSantis.  At least Gavin Newsom suited up.

If he leaves, I strongly recommend he leave the Republican Party. After all, to channel the late Reagan, it appears the Republican Party has left him.

And Gavin Newsom has a tough record to defend but he showed up anyways

It's becoming clearer that support for Trump is based more on an emotional need vs real issues. Every issue that others, including myself, have made regarding Trump, are true. When confronted, his base either ignores them or lash out at who ever is making the points

If Trump had a record worth defending, he'd take every opportunity to defend that record. But he doesn't, because he knows he's vulnerable when not just his record, but his proposals, face scrutiny

Trump is what you end up with when the GOP nominates McCain and Romney.

I’m a simple woman with simple tastes. I’d like a president who’s closer to age 50 than to age 100.
Guess that’s not happening in 2024.

I just want a Republican nominee who doesn't hand out campaign cash to Chuck Schumer and Kamala Harris.

DeSantis refuses to play the country club game.  I think he will leave politics once his governorship is over.  I can't blame him.
