DeSantis runs, without a PDJT endorsement, he get wiped out in a National Election.

MAGA voters will abandon him in droves.

Barely won FL first time.

Covid drove many Conservative voters to FL.
He wins big.

Our PDJT The GOAT, won 75M+ votes.

Even with The Swamp fully against him

DeSantis is a bright future.
But not this time.

Smart politics is to run 45 (hybrid candidate) for one more term
with a setup for DeSantis four years later.

DeSantis simply doesn't run in FL again, his picked successor does and R's get an 8 year POTUS.

JMO, YMMV

DeSantis runs, without a PDJT endorsement, he get wiped out in a National Election. MAGA voters will abandon him in droves.

And Trump keeps the MAGA voters but loses everyone else.

So there we have it. Might as well write off '24.

DeSantis runs, without a PDJT endorsement, he get wiped out in a National Election.

If Trump wasn't running, would DeSantis be worthy of his endorsement? Because if the answer to that is yes, then the only reason Trump would not endorse DeSantis after a contested primary is if he valued his ego more than the future of the country.
