keep in mind DeSantis is being framed as the man to take out Trump by the FakeNewsMSM outside the US, even moreso than he is by the FakeNewsMSM inside the US.

Interesting. I didn't know that about Brendan O’Neill, and it's good to know. So thank you.
About the media and DeSantis, yes, that's been quite apparent from the get-go. That's their only use for the man.
Same for all these politicians and pundits jumping in to "support" DeSantis -- Rove, Jeb Bush, ad nauseum -- when in reality they could not care less if he died tomorrow. They are only using him as a foil against Trump. It's as transparent as glass to anyone who isn't already whipped into a rabid frenzy by their worship of Trump and sees NEOCON CONSPIRACY, and then feels free to treat anyone who isn't 100% on the bandwagon as THE ENEMY. Never mind if you've voted Trump twice. Kookaburras. FR has too many of them at the moment.
These same eGOP people have been giving DeSantis lip service, giving him money, and so far he's given them absolutely nothing in return, although there's a conspiracy-theory or two as well.
