Doug Burgum of North Dakota, known for his rough and tumble ways, proudly joined the ranks of the loyalists. And let us not forget the valiant Sen. Tim Scott, hailing from the wilds of South Carolina, who saw fit to stand alongside his brethren.

Thus, the stage was set, and the players had shown their hands. The winds of political fortune blew, revealing the depths of loyalty and ambition. As the race for the presidency continued, only time would tell if these choices would sink or sail their ships to victory.
