DeSantis needs to run in 2024 and prove his mettle. It’s a real bad sign if he ducks a match up against President Trump. That’s not how you beat violent Marxists.
No he’s not stupid and hope knows math. 4/years plus 8 years is better than just 8 years. He doesn’t have to “prove” anything by running against Trump when he believes in all the things Trump stands for.
If he wants a political future, DeSantis should not run against Trump in 2024. Besides hurting himself politically, he would cause divisions within the party. Anyone think Cruz would challenge Trump in 2024?
Pence and Pompeo will probably challenge Trump and fail miserably.
