The Impact of Trump's Absence and the Targeting of DeSantis

In this chapter, they discuss the upcoming debate and the potential impact of Trump's absence. They mention that some individuals, like Chris Christie, will still target Trump even if he is not physically present. However, they believe that the other candidates are cautious about attacking Trump too harshly, as they understand that many Republican supporters still stand by him. Instead, they suggest that Ron DeSantis would be the primary target if Trump does not show up.
