Why would the Deep State allow DeSantis to win? If nothing else, he’d appoint more conservative judges than otherwise.
You make a good point about the Bushes (what a trash family they are). But today’s power brokers are really radical. They won’t accept DeSantis if they could have Buttigieg or Warren.
DeSantis drained the Broward Country swamp and facilitated a clear, clean win for Trump in 2020. First general election in FL in 20 years without Broward Country weirdness.
Unfortunately, Trump returned the support by trashing him.
“Why would the Deep State allow DeSantis to win? If nothing else, he’d appoint more conservative judges than otherwise.”
The thing is the Deep State isn’t one thing. It’s:
* the Generals
* the CEOs
* the TLAs
* the MSM
* the Academics
* the Foreign Agents
They don’t always agree. The first three groups were pro-Bush the others pro-Gore/Kerry. That kept either side from cheating radically.
100% of them were against Trump and they had no constraints in defeating him.
DeSantis will easily get the support of the Generals, the CEOs, and the TLAs. Sure the Academics will hate him, but they alone can’t do much.
