I used to like Ron DeSantis, but his run for the 2024 nomination against Trump is making him look weak and small.
Why do we need this guy anyway? Is he somehow better than Trump? A better leader or more charisma? I don’t think so.
So I ask myself - Is he running for the good of the country or for the good of Ron DeSantis?
I hope (and expect) that Trump is going to chew him up this year and destroy his brand for 2024 and for 2028.
Uh, because Trump is ~80 years old, quadruple vaxed and boosted, couldn’t beat a walking corpse in Biden in the last election, and has done nothing to improve his image or election security in swing states since them. His recent surge in the primary polls is clearly tied to sympathy he’s receiving for being indicted in New York, with more indictments likely on the way.
That may be the race horse you want to bet on, but not me.
