Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush seemed like “Inevitable Candidates” for their party. As a Harvard graduate, a Navy Reserve officer with a telegenic, accomplished wife and three adorable children, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is an “Inevitable,” writes Dan Zak.
“While our country flounders due to failed leadership in Washington,” DeSantis said in his victory speech, “Florida is on the right track.”“If the Florida governor ever intends to wrest control of the GOP from Trump, now is his moment,” read the headline on an Atlantic article by David Frum last week.Jeb Bush was also an Inevitable. Hillary Clinton was an Inevitable . Neither’s inevitability yielded the presidency. That’s the tricky thing about being an Inevitable.
“There it is,” Christie said on the debate stage in February 2016, and you could feel the last wisps of inevitability disperse into the New Hampshire night. “There it is. The memorized 25-second speech.” “He was absolutely supposed to be president,” Zeitz says. “He ran multiple times and came painfully close in 1844. He got beaten out by contingency, by forces beyond his control, by candidates who were better than him, like Andrew Jackson. He was remembered as someone who kept trying. There was a whole generation who expected him to become president.”Zeitz also mentions Gary Hart, the Democratic senator from Colorado who ran for president in 1984 and 1988.
