DeSantis. Housewives will vote for him because he doesn't have a hair hat that stands up in the wind, isn't totally fat at this point, married to one woman who bore all his children and who wasn't imported on a pornship, has actual bona fide Ivy League credentials and, most of all, has those swarthy soft brown Mediterranean good looks that make women swoon, as contrasted with pasty white bulldog jowls and a fat ass. No brainer. Did I mention that the future first lady is also a cancer survivor?
No question though, as evidenced by this thread, Trump's following is skrong af.
In a Desantis v. Biden race the issue of being a lying piece of shit is back in play. Trump could never play that card because he was a lying piece of shit. Same goes for the corruption issue. The Biden family has gotten fabulously wealthy trading off of Joe's position in government. Trump couldn't exploit that due to his own corrupt and shady business dealings.
Also, remember when the topic of CRT being taught in our schools and pushed in government came up during the debate? Trump being the inarticulate boob he is couldn't explain it nor exploit it and allowed Biden to get away with identifying it as racial sensitivity training. That doesn't happen with DeSantis
Very true. We all know Trump has the attention span of a gerbil (his own people have consistently made that point describing the frustration they had in counseling him), and the confidence to "wing it" on pretty much anything. There's no doubt in my mind that during the election someone said, "hey let's have an answer for CRT" and he blew it off while thinking about Melania's ass, and figured he'd glance at a wiki page on it at some point and be able to pull it off.
DeSantis would be able to debate that issue with a Harvard professor and win on the merits. If I were in Biden's camp, I would not agree to a single debate with that guy and just suffer the damage from being accused of ducking him. Trump? Biden has a small chance insofar as Trump will do his own damage to himself without the living corpse have to do anything but stare.
The other thing nobody's brought up (that I've read anyway) is that DeSantis will pull in moderates and Rinos, people with whom Trump has little chance, though I do know people who went with Trump while pinching their noses as the proverbial lesser of two evils. DeSantis seems like he would appeal to more people in the middle to middle right.
