Conventional wisdom would say DeSantis has a better chance because he’s like Trump without the mean tweets. However, it was not the mean tweets that did Trump in. It was MAGA, and doing what he said he would do. If DeSantis runs as another MAGA candidate who promises to “build the wall” and “drill, baby, drill”, the ‘rats and RINOs will move heaven and earth again (i.e. another “big steal”) to prevent him from being elected. May as well stick with Trump.
Good point. Trump has already been “vetted” so to speak. Who knows how DeSantis would handle a 24/365 Trump-style onslaught from the media. I’ll stick with the more known commodity in Trump unless he decides not to run.
With some pretty f'd up logic on your part you did manage to reach the best conclusion!
