Actually has a track record. Actually can string multiple sentences together and create a logical paragraph. Actually has a track record of being Conservative. Actually has character. Actually can speak. He is actually a Republican. The closest thing to Ronald Reagan would be Ron DeSantis. Nickey Hailey is so far removed from conservative principles that she is more like Joe Biden than Harris.

I don't disagree with your assessment of DeSantis, but he has run with a quickly failing strategy of triangulating around Trump instead of as his own man.
Vivek also did the same to a greater degree and has left.
Maybe they were doomed from the start to running in 28 given Trump's base: voters prefer Trump to Trump Lite.
Haley has run a more subtle race leaving room to appeal to independents that should lead to at least a VP slot if she doesn't catch on past NH.
