Well, it looks like it’s time to comment on what is going on.
The Democrats appear to be stuck on Biden. Apparently, his age and lack of appeal to those under 40 have not yet attracted a viable alternative into the race.
The Republicans, meanwhile, are finding it hard to get past Trump. I know that, for many, Ron DeSantis is the “new new thing,” but he is beginning to crater before he formally enters the race.
It turns out, DeSantis’ willingness to walk away from Ukraine was a major strategic error. Many Republicans are ready to back off, but those appear to the Trump voters. It seemed that DeSantis was an electable alternative to Trump who could also excite the base. Sadly, for him, what he did with his Ukraine comment is open a lane for another Republican to give full-throated support to Ukraine and get those who were moving away from Trump (the donor and corporate class) a place to land. DeSantis has forsaken Reaganism and what is left of the Party that is not enamored of culture wars and Trump will have to look elsewhere. This should encourage people like Pence, Pompeo and Christie which will make it easier for Trump to prevail.
Taking a look back at the 2020 Democratic race, there was also a major strategic blunder in that Michael Bloomberg participated in a debate that he didn’t need to as he wasn’t on the ballot in Nevada or South Carolina. We now know how that impacted his candidacy for President. I suspect when the autopsy on DeSantis’s campaign is done, his unforced error on Ukraine will stand out.
From This Corner 
There is no doubt in my mind the DeSantis is extremely dangerous and if elected president would damage the United States in such a way we would no longer be considered a super power. He mean as well as dangerous. I am quite concerned about the legislation he has gotten passed in the Florida Legislature. Our rights as citizens of Florida are going down the tube very quickly. It is embarrassing to live in Florida. Regrettably many other states seem to be following Florida’s example.

As someone that talks with Ukrainian engineering team on a weekly bases I can tell you that they common people in Ukraine are divided into pro Russia and anti Russia groups.
Non of them understand what Biden and his handlers are doing. They see USA financial support as a way to pump money into defence complex and offload old equipment without any serious training and support. Ukraine became our military equipment dump yard.
After all Florida governor is right it is a territorial dispute that we are not helping to solve but making it worse for Ukrainian people and along the way pushing China and Russia into closer alignment.
