I disagree with almost everything you post, but on this we agree. DeSantis has delivered bigly for Florida, but won't bring in nearly as many votes in a 2024 general election as Trump did in 2020. I don't even think Trump will bring in as many votes in 2024 as 2020, but it will be more than DeSantis.
The problem is that the Fraud Machine is still in place and the GDOPes have no interest in being anything but the Washington Generals.
Desantis would join the Dole,Romney, McCain loser club.
