[Robert DeLong]

Reagan was likable, DeSantis not. Besides that the country has become a lot more divided than it was 40 years ago. Reagan even won California twice. George H. W. Bush was the last Republican to win California.

In 1984 Reagan even won Hawaii. No Republican since has won Hawaii.

DeSantis will not become the new Reagan, or even close, because I predict he won't win the primary to become the Republican candidate, at least not legitimately.

Reagan was absolutely lovable.

DeSantis can be likeable.

Trump is unfortunately hateable.
