DeSantis is like Trump except smarter, disciplined, wins re-elections, and is an actual conservative.

And, oh yeah, without the baggage.

I’m going into my shelter with my metal helmet on now after saying this:

I really wish DeSantis were better looking.
Newsom would defeat him.

My loyalty remains with Donald Trump.

Remember when Trump chose to say (regarding McCain, and I'm not a fan) "I like people who weren't captured"? I know two Iraq war Vets (Republicans, both relatives) that refused to vote for him in both elections.

The lists of both his many accomplishments and also the many choices to talk, act, and tweet before thinking things through are quite lengthy. A significant number of voters will recall the latter. They will be reminded by Dem ads, btw.

It's more than "baggage". It's a weariness of cringing when Trump calls people names or vocalizes stream of consciousness observations, as might a third grader.

It's more than "baggage". It's lack of wisdom and presidential behavior.

DeSantis' biggest problem right now? How to deal with the Dem ads comparing him to Trump.

I sincerely doubt that Trump will win the nom. If he does, I'll support him to anyone who will listen and vote (early) for him. It's that critical to defeat the Dem candidate.

And without the rudeness, vulgarity, and disrespect for women.
