I do not see DeSantis winning the general at all. Why? He is further right than Trump. He will not get the women vote, nor the college kids. In campaigning he loves to tell everyone how it’s done in Florida. It’s as bad as the northerners coming to Florida and telling us how it’s done up north.
Maybe you're right. But his slate is sort of clean. Trump has a bad rap so nothing can be done about that. But DeSantis might have a chance with the independents and soccer moms. Right there, he'll win Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia and Nevada.
