Pence and Haley both said they would support Trump if he got the nomination.  Almost everything else they said made sense.  But that one hand raise contradicts everything.  I know why they said so, because they think not saying so will turn off too many voters, but it highlights the impossible task they have.

That whole question was just a set up, and DeSantis should've pulled the same "we aren't doing hand raises" response again. It's not beyond the pale to answer that "although I do not approve of some of the former President's personal behaviors I will support whomever wins our Party's nomination, including any of my friends here on stage or Donald Trump should he be the nominee. It's more important that a united Republican Party contest and oppose the radical agenda of the left than to splinter around questions of personality."

But nah, the Fox ratings demand a brewhaha.
