Gary Hart, 16.5 % and second place, got a first class ticket out of Iowa to NH and almost beat Mondale (48.9%) … If DeSantis takes second with 20% (big if) why shouldn’t he go on? https://t.co/BsyIIzc5mF

NYT: “For a campaign-trail reporter, those Q. and A. sessions are where you really see who the candidates are, how they think on their feet and whether they can connect with voters.” Haley’s not up for that.
