Trump Watches As Former Rivals Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis Kiss His Ring At The RNC

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING MILWAUKEE — She once called Donald Trump unstable and unfit to serve a second term in the Oval Office. DeSantis’ speech, by comparison, was far more aggressive and focused on attacking Democrats and “woke” policies, a favorite theme of his GOP primary campaign. DeSantis said of Trump in January: “You can be the most worthless Republican in America, but if you kiss the ring, he’ll say you’re wonderful.” Most attendees at the convention downplayed Haley’s past criticism of Trump and welcomed her back into the fold. “I have never seen an election where one person got up on a debate stage and said, ‘I can’t stand this person, I can’t stand that person,’ and after the primary, they’re best friends.” Some of Trump’s former 2016 presidential rivals, now strong backers of the nominee, also delivered prime-time remarks at the convention Tuesday. Sen. Ted Cruz, who ended his convention speech in 2016 by telling delegates to “vote your conscience” following a bitter rivalry with Trump, issued a glowing endorsement of the former president in an immigrant-bashing speech, embracing his slogan to “Make America Great Again.” And Sen. Marco Rubio, a foreign policy hawk who once called Trump a “con artist” that couldn’t be trusted with the presidential nuclear codes, also heaped praise on the former president and his MAGA agenda.
