DeSantis v. Newsome is more favorable for Republicans than Trump v. Newsome. DeSantis v. Biden it a TKO in second round. No Republican is going to peal off many Democrat voters and vice versa. It’s the independents who are in play. They find Trump off-putting and Biden repulsive, but no firm split. DeSantis and Newsome would be competing for the independents. Newsome might beat Trump, but it’s less likely that he would beat DeSantis.
Presidential win has more to do with likability & personality than debate skills. DeSantis lacks both.
desanctomonious can’t break 20%, even after what 3 reboots. He’s dishonest and will say anything you want to hear. He will never be POTUS. Hell he wouldn’t even be governor if it wasn’t for Trump carrying him across the finish line.
