Desantis is a non starter, he can’t win a national election, he can’t even win a Primary election among Republican voters...

I assume that right now 45% of the GOP will vote for Trump, no matter what. DeSantis is going have to convince the remaining 55% to vote for him. Trump has more charisma and he's better on the stump than DeSantis. But he's toxic. I just want to win. So I'm going with DeSantis, as simple as that.

You are welcome to vote for whoever you like. That’s how the system works.

However, you are deluding yourself if you believe Desantis has a prayer in a national election.

Desantis has the Hillary problem.. .the more he’s seen the lower he polls...

For crying out loud. How many “he’ll break out when”s are you willing to fall for.

“Oh once he announced, then hell break out.”

“Oh once Trump’s indicted, then he’ll break out.”

“Oh once he relaunches his campaign, then he’ll break out.”

Reality is we are already on what, the 3rd or 4 of these, and Desantis just keeps on falling.

Desantis does not have the presence, he’s a LOUSY retail politician... For crying out loud, If Trump hadn’t shown up to carry him over the finish line in 18, he would have lost to a corrupt drug addict! yet, he’s going to win a national campaign? Not possible. The more Desantis is seen, the lower he polls, and that’s not going to change.

His money is coming from the establishment money men, less than 15% of his campaign funds are coming from individual donors, there is just no support of note for him, and none is going to miraculously appear between now and January for him.

We will see how this all plays out, but I see absolutely no way Desantis can win a national general election, when odds are strong he won’t even get 10% of the primary vote when its all done.

Will be-fun to watch desantis keep tripping himself up while trying to stop the death spiral he put his campaign in to and, as you hope, he’ll convince 55% of primary voters to gamble on him.

“I want to win so I’m going with the loser.”
Good luck with that.
No more RINO, no more holding my nose & enabling the deep state.
DeSantis did nothing in Congress. He is tone deaf and puts ambition ahead of his constituents. A man who will break promises to serve his term as Governor will break the promises he makes running for POTUS.
