What they really want is for both Trump and DeSantis to take each other out.
I am sure the demonkkraps would not want to face either of them.
The problem DeSantis has is that he has to convince millions of Trump voters to vote for him should Trump not be nominated. For those millions, just voting for the GOP nominee is not going to cut it anymore. They learned from the GOPe, who openly did not support or help Trump when he was the candidate or even the POTUS. [I don’t mean to imply the DeSantis is GOPe though I have seen comments here about who is $upporting him. DeSantis may have wrongly chosen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.]
