In order to beat Trump the nominee will have to take some Trump voters. Despite Haley gaining momentum and possibly eclipsing DeSantis for 2nd, I think DeSantis is the only one who has a fighting chance against Trump head to head. I just feel he's viewed more favorably/in-step with Trump voters than Haley is. Haley is too much from the old establishment. Haley+Christie voters form more of an old school anti-Trump coalition. DeSantis-Vivek represent more of where 2/3 of the party is.
And now Casey DeSantis is telling people from out-of-state to come to Iowa and participate in the caucus.
It's so bad that the Iowa GOP had to send out a tweet clarifying that only Iowa residents can vote in the caucus.
And they wonder why donors are abandoning DeSantis.
