There wouldn't be nearly as much animosity towards DeSantis from MAGA, but he would still be the least charismatic candidate in the field and still facing the realization that his gimmicks and stunts don't play as well outside of Florida.

His biggest problem though imo is that the field would likely have several other credible candidates who sat this one out of fear of angering Dear Leader.

I don't care as none of them are getting my vote.

Desantis is a certified loser getting publicly humiliated by *gasp* Woke Disney. I don't think the cult that can never admit losing anything could handle the of level cognitive dissonance in having *that* as their front runner.

He might have a slight early polling edge due to name recognition, but I'm convinced that once the debates started and media focus really began, his numbers would plummet.

He's basically Gitmo Ted Cruz.

Christie, Haley or Scott would probably be doing better. I have a feeling the whole field would be different if Trump weren't running though.

What legitimate candidate wants to join that shitshow?

Voted "something else". Christie, Haley or Scott would probably be doing better, but I have a feeling the whole field would be different if Trump weren't running.

What legitimate candidate wants to join the shitshow that follows Trump?

Basically my thoughts as well.

Yes. And Christy probably would have made him look like an idiot in the debates.

desantis seems like a jeb kinda guy. he was anointed by the media but has the personality and charisma of a wet noodle so he was never going to be 'the guy', especially among modern right wingers who value bombastic arrogance and ignorance above all else

I can't believe that he's still allowed to run. He should be in prison.

yeah, and to me, that's scarier than hell.

if it were up to me I would not only have him in prison, if he and trump were on a prison waitlist I would've thrown him in prison first.
