were so many running that debates, they had a kids table. this time trump announced first and then nikki haley and then vivak, larry elder, asa hutchinson, tim scott, and now ron desantis, who by the way is only 44 years old. by biden/trump standards, he s got three more decades to run for president. so why run now? why get into the steel cage with a wrestler who always carries a foreign object? mike pence said he ll soon make a decision. chris christie sure sounds like a candidate. sununu might get in. even glenn youngkin is taking a second look. so what s going on? maybe that they don t think they ll have to beat trump. that that work will be done by a combination of alvin bragg, fani willis, jack smith and merrick garland. this week trump appeared remotely in a manhattan courtroom in connection with the stormy daniels case. the judge told the parties not to make any plans around the scheduled start of trial, march 25, 2024. trump reportedly reacted by shaking his head. the
