DeSantis is like Trump except smarter, disciplined, wins re-elections, and is an actual conservative. And, oh yeah, without the baggage.

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.

You exemplify many conservative voters who mystify me by publicly trash-mouthing President Trump while at the same time expressing a firm intent to vote for the man. Doing so is, in my view, quite incomprehensible.

Wrong. It’s that critical to defeat the uniparty. The swamp is bipartisan. DeSantis is just another career politician. People need to wake up and stop thinking dems vs repubs. It’s us vs them.

The uniparty establishment and media are pushing the idea of DeSantis. That’s A BIG CLUE. The fact that Trump is still the one they’re most against, is another BIG CLUE. Wake up people. We don’t have time for this divided crap.
