re: MSDNC: DeSantis is worse than Trump

It’s one of the fundamental flaws of the “Trump shouldn’t run again” argument.

That's nonsense though.

Trump gave ammunition to those 'that guy is really like Hitler' accusations.

Mitt Romney didn't. Mitt Romney won college-educated white voters by over 14 points while Trump lost them by over 17 points in 2016 and 15 points in 2020.

That's a swing of nearly 30 points in 4 years, which means he did something that turned off white college-educated voters so much that they voted for a party that they don't usually vote for.

White college-educated voters have always voted for the Republican candidate but it took Trump for them to start voting for Democrats.

So clearly, previous accusations against Mitt Romney and other Republican candidates didn't work. They didn't give ammunition to the accusations. Most people saw Mitt Romney as a sane guy even if they might not have voted for him.
