DeSantis will not win Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin. Neither will Trump.
DeSantis may win Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin.
And I'll have to add Nevada to the list.
Well, DeSantis has relatives in western Pennsylvania where his grandfather worked in a steel mill. Plus, he’s of Italian descent and is a Catholic. That could win him some votes in Pittsburgh and the surrounding communities which are heavily Southern European ethnic and Catholic. Think of the movie, “Deer Hunter.” That movie portrayed the kind of voters DeSantis could win. He needs to emphasize his blue-collar roots and the fact that he worked his way through college. He didn’t have a daddy giving him $1 million to get him started.
I suggest that, voter fraud aside, DeSantis has a good chance in Pennsylvania. Biden, if he is the nominee, is despised here. I see guys driving pickup trucks with “F—K” Joe Biden flags displayed in the bed. Ditto for bumper stickers and signs posted in yards. Anecdotal maybe, but that’s the mood I’m detecting.
