Doug Burgum thinking about running for president isn't a sign Ron DeSantis is bleeding in the water. It's a sign Doug Burgum is experiencing a midlife crisis or suffers from a previously undiagnosed psychological ailment.

One paragraph: Sununu, Burgum, and Christie are thinking about running for president. Two paragraphs later: No one runs for president without "a detailed and plausible path to victory." That is a self-refuting argument. No such path exists for those three, and everyone knows it. 
Actual legit contenders like Haley and Scott are polling under 5 percent. DeSantis is still the only guy besides Trump in double digits in state and national polls. The idea Doug Burgum or Chris Christie will "fill the role DeSantis was once assumed to hold" is pure fantasy.
"But there is a sense of urgency: any new entrants must get in before DeSantis has the opportunity to use his considerable resources to make it a two-person primary with Trump."
EXCEPT IT ALREADY IS!!! That's the point. Once DeSantis is in, it's too late for these also-runs.

The idea that Doug Burgum will jump into the race a week or two after DeSantis does and announces a ridiculous $25 million or so initial fundraising haul and still make some noise is absurd. It may describe some world, but it does not describe our world.
