Free never sounded so good.

The Mark Simone Show. On 710 W.O.R. Well, Ed Rollins, the dean himself, the best political analyst. Now, listen, nobody has run more campaigns, presidential campaigns. In fact, he ran, I think, the most successful campaign ever in history. He's run a lot of them. So perfect guy to talk to. Ed Rollins, how you doing? Good morning, Mark. How are you? Good. Now, you must have had a campaign

Thank you. He's run a lot of them, so perfect guy to talk to. Ed Rollins, how you doing? Good.

Good.

Now, you must have had a campaign that didn't work somewhere.

How did, like Ron DeSantis, how does a campaign end?

Is there like one final meeting?

Who tells who?

My sense is he bought his people together, at least the stores that have been reported.

They're getting shredded by media doing an analysis of the campaign and what have you, and I think they had to be very frustrated. They knew they weren't going to do well in New Hampshire. The polls indicated that they were in bad shape. They were pretty much out of money, I think, and the reality was there was no place for him to go. So he did the right thing. He got out and endorsed Trump.

That makes the game pretty much over.

You know, people forget, because of all the hype that the media does on these primaries,

is this is about gathering delegates.

It's not about how many votes do you get in New Hampshire, Iowa, what have you.

You get delegates.

Iowa is a perfect example.

Iowa has 40 delegates.

20 of them are picked on Election Day.

Another 20 will be picked in the state convention.

I promise you by the time it's finished, Trump will have all 40 delegates.

Hampshire is 20 delegates.

And at the end of the day here, even Haley, who's strength, South Carolina should be her strength.
