We’ll take another swing at it, and it sounds pretty much that you are on the DeSantis bandwagon, and exchanging from that perspective
If we learned anything it is that polls and such as message boards don’t often reflect reality, and DeSantis has traded barbs with Trump, but not the full barrage Trump is capable of, especially if his back is against the wall. DeSantis is a smart guy, smart politician, says the right things, employs the right scapegoats, but if it comes down to Trump or Trump II, I don’t see the hard core base who show up in primaries abandoning Trump
Lastly, I am a Democrat, and I’d prefer Trump run, especially if Biden runs, but I have no real concern over whoever the GOP nominates
