“If DeSantis wins the primary, he will easily lose to the cheating Democrats in the general election..”
Unless the Democrats (or I should say the Deep State) let him win - which would be a distinct possibility. Unlike Trump, they have nothing to fear from DeSantis.
The thing that first set off my radar was when seemingly coordinated messaging began to appear about how much of a rising star DeSantis was - almost immediately after Trump had left office. The usual suspects couldn’t move past Trump quickly enough.
In early 2021 DeSantis was enthusiastically being touted as the next Trump - with no acknowledgement or concern for the fact that we had just had an election stolen. That was the tell, that we were seeing a coordinated effort among Establishment Republicans to take back the party from Trump and the deplorables, and had decided on their fake MAGA candidate of choice.
