I love Trump and I love DeSantis and they both were/are/would be excellent presidents. However DeSantis unfortunately is too short. Short men do not win the presidency, historically.
DeSantis is 5’9”. His height won’t be a problem. He’ll likely be running against either a female or Joe Biden, and if it’s Biden (6’0”) I doubt they’ll share a debate stage together. Both Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton defeated taller opponents.
I love Trump but DeSantis might be able to recapture independent voters that Biden won in 2020. Trump is radioactive at this point. FWIW, I think that the Democrats will run with somebody else in 2024. Maybe Gavin Newsom. Biden’s too vulnerable at this point.
