For political junkies, today is a big day. One is tempted to shout, like boxing-ring announcer Michael Buffer: “Let’s get ready to rumble!” Donald Trump’s most credible challenger on the Republican side is entering the race.
It’s a moment when the narrative is going to shift, but expect some resistance. For months, Trump supporters, professional Never Trumpers who depend on Trump’s persistence for their paychecks, and mainstream-media outlets who view Trump as ratings gold and an electoral curse on Republicans have faked up a narrative that Ron DeSantis is stumbling, that he’s the next Scott Walker, an overhyped governor who doesn’t have the stuff to translate onto the national stage.
