Given the reality that Trump may well find himself behind bars or otherwise disqualified from running in the next 6-8 months, I think it is still useful to have a field of alternatives standing by at the ready. Given the trajectory of DeSantis’s campaign vs the trajectory of Ramaswamy’s, if Trump goes down, we may well be faced with voting for him in the 2024 general election. It’s not an inconceivable path to the nomination. His 12% might get up over 50% in such a scenario. Hard to say. Are the Trump base so incorrigible that they would stay home and hand it to Biden rather than vote for anyone who opposed Trump in the primaries? That would mean their mortal enemy took out their man, so they handed said enemy the election as a reward. That’s insane, but is also not inconceivable! What a completely crazy-assed world we are living in. Stop the merry-go-round! I want to get off!

Trump is many things but a coward is not one of them. Vivek also went to Miami when Trump had to go to court saying he would pardon Trump if elected; that statement inferred guilt on Trump’s part targeting him. That’s two strikes against Vivek for me.
