DeSantis is not phony.
DeSantis doesn’t have the people skills Trump has, but Trump has better people skills than any Republican politician I can think of. I also think Trump’s people skills exceed those of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Living most of one’s life in a densely populated city like New York helps develop people skills.
The polls suggest we now have four choices, Trump, DeSantis, Ramaswamy and Haley:

If the Democrats take Trump out, then the choice will be among DeSantis, Ramaswamy and Haley.
LOL, the only thing that poll suggest is that Trump has already won.
