“Voted for Trump twice… and would vote for him again … IF I thought he could win.”
I also think DeSantis can win. He can reach out towards the center like Reagan did, as Reagan had the base locked down.
The problem, though, is how does DeSantis lock-down the base? If it’s a contentious Primary against Trump, then some 15 million (or more) Trump voters will be pissed at Desantis and sit out the November, 2024 election...so impossible to see how DeSantis wins in that scenario.
So DeSantis needs to figure out a way to win the Primary WITHOUT pissing off the Trump voters - something I haven’t yet seen...but who knows, maybe I’m missing something.
I also think DeSantis can win. He can reach out towards the center like Reagan did, as Reagan had the base locked down.
How can he now reach out towards the center when he has done so many right and far right things as governor. I don’t disagree at all with what he has done for Florida but I can’t see that getting by many center/left leaning voters.
“how does DeSantis lock-down the base?”
His goose was cooked when he wouldn’t say the election was stolen. What a doofus.
