He is, or will be, part of the establishment and he is very vulnerable!

Beware!

You're the one making an accusation. Explain how he IS part of the establishment.

Can you point to the specific legislative positions that he has advanced that makes you believe he is part of the “Establishment?”

Populism is great for fighting known threats. It’s not great at identifying threats. It just ends up with Danton on the guillotine.

Establishment politicians tend to be moderates. What part of what DeSantis has done in Florida is moderate?

Look up who he ran against in the 2018 primary, and pay close attention to the endorsements.

CAN he be leveraged? Sure, it's possible. It's possible with Trump as well, because it's possible with anybody. All we can do is look at past performance and make what's hopefully a well-informed decision.

DeSantis is almost a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Just look at who pushed him and has been backing him for president. One person who was apart of the establishment the day he started - Paul Ryan….. enough said. Paul Ryan is part of the reason we have such crooked Republicans.

All you have to do is look who’s supporting him.
Tells you all you need to know.

Trump was endorsed by the head of the Nazi party in 2016. You sure your standard is the right one?
