A solid forecast of controversies that DeSantis will face in the near future.

"Try picturing the amount of baggage that would come with accusations of DeSantis drinking and partying with his own female students, alleged first-hand accounts about his role in inhumane forms of torture that violate international law, his former press secretary and current rapid response director registering as a foreign agent, and recently having warmonger John Bolton promote him. Again, allegations are all that is needed to create baggage, not facts. The baggage potential for DeSantis makes Trump’s look like peanuts.

So, if DeSantis does run, those pulling for him solely for baggage purposes will be severely disappointed. When DeSantis is faced with his own, two things are possible. He could cave and apologize under the pressure, which is the opposite of what Conservatives want. Or the more likely scenario would be him refuting, defending, or denying the attacks, which is exactly what President Trump has always done. But whichever response occurs, there is no scenario where DeSantis would be baggage-free. So, the “DeSantis is Trump without baggage” group must shift the question they ask themselves to this: Which of the two is better equipped to withstand the attacks? There is no doubt the answer to that question is Donald Trump."

People that rabidly shill for DeSantis are generally not ours. Or aren’t really critical thinkers.

I’m not saying I don’t think he’s doing some good stuff in Florida... But the enemy is telling me I should support DeSantis... because they care...

I want down the list posted here, the only probable case they might use as a success in demonizing him would be about torture, true or not, but his first push back should be, it was a accepted in the wider circle at the time, he should not be singled out.
