I have a screen capture and to me it looks like his whole face is orangish/red EXCEPT for the tip of his nose. I can see how that could happen. ---

[Donald Trump signs woman’s top in Iowa restaurant (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5_BAlZXLL0) Sure she (and everyone else there) wanted him to touch her breasts. But can you imagine anyone else getting away with that? It’s insane. ---

Ron DeSantisn’t is canceling his media appearances tomorrow. Josh @ Talking Points Memo notes that apparently Ron didn’t file to appear on the NY State primary ballot. (Technically not Trump related, but surely there’s room in this thread for Rondefreude?) ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > So basically, Loser Donald’s rallies at this point are the equivalent of the most pathetic Grateful Dead concert ever. Pretty much, yeah. I’ve said that before, not necessarily here on the SDMB, but certainly to real-life friends. If it’s a slow news day, CNN sends somebody out to the upcoming Trump rally, and asks them how many Trump rallies they’ve attended. The answer is usually at least a dozen, and in some cases, plenty more. Deadheads—er, Trumpheads?—indeed. ---

And DeSantis ends his [presidential campaign](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/ron-desantis-planning-drop-presidential-bid-sunday-rcna134953) and limps back to Florida.

Just curious, has any presidential candidate ever “suspended” their campaign but then later got back in the race? “Suspend” seems to imply “we’re just taking a little break here” but let’s face it, Dead Bounce Ron is toast. ---

> [@Shoeless](#): > > “Suspend” seems to imply “we’re just taking a little break here” My understanding is that candidates always suspend their campaigns instead of shutting them down for technical reasons. Those reasons have to do with money, but I can’t remember the specifics. So you’re right, “suspend” in campaign-talk means it’s over. ---

Those reasons have to do with money, but I can’t remember the specifics. So you’re right, “suspend” in campaign-talk means it’s over. For the most part, all of those Republican nominees who dropped out will still appear on primary ballots. “Suspending” their campaign leaves open the possibility that they could jump right back in it Trump chokes on a Big Mac.
