All three rising GOP stars once suggested Donald Trump was an existential threat to the nation. And all three competed to see who could kiss Trump’s ass the hardest on Tuesday.There’s very little to smile about these days, least of all at the Republican National Convention, which is little more than a racist sausage party dancing on the grave ofNikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, and Marco Rubio.
All three once-rising GOP stars previously vied for the nomination against Donald Trump, and all suggested, in their own words, that he posed a grave threat to the nation.

After all, Trump was unsparing in his mockery of the Florida governor from day one.
That brings us again to Tuesday night. DeSantis offered remarks all but canonizing his schoolyard bully as a biblical martyr: “Donald Trump has been demonized. He’s been sued, he’s been prosecuted, and he nearly lost his life,” DeSantis said. “We cannot let him down, and we cannot let America down.
