It is so weird to me that in order for trump to win the primary neither trump nor his supporters realize he’s absolutely nuking his chances in the general. The truly weird part is if trump wins the primary and loses the general, most of his sycophant supporters around here will be happy.
Actually, I think it's the other way around. As governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis has been waging high-profile battles that will endear him to GOP groups like evangelical Christians, but will turn him off to almost every other voting cohort in America today.
I've said for months that the Rust Belt states Trump won unexpectedly in 2016 -- mostly on the strength of support from independents and even many Democrats -- will never vote for an establishment Republican tool like Ron DeSantis.
