Thank you. Desantis will not run if President Trump runs. The rest are toast if President Trump runs.
I agree with you 100%. If Trump runs it doesn’t matter who else is in, the nomination is his.
Honestly I don’t think DeSantis runs even if Trump bows out. I expect he’ll have taken a 2024 Presidential bid off the table between now and November as part of his reelection campaign for Governor of Florida.
What seems a best-case scenario to me at this point is for Trump to announce fairly early after November, most conservatives stay out, Trump strolls to the nomination, and then names DeSantis to the ticket in the summer of 2024. DeSantis can then say he is grateful and honored to serve Florida but the nation calls.
The rest are toast whether Trump runs or not.
I wouldn’t vote for any of them.
Maybe DeSantis will be Trumps VP. Why wouldn’t that work?

yep ...
