“ He's the governor of a top 3 most populous state in the Union”

Trump is a great and compelling personality. Few could ever beat him in a personality contest, but that shouldn't be what electing a president is about.

I look at it this way - let's say fixing the border is the most important issue for the American Right. Who has the better chance of fixing the border - DeSantis, who even though is not fun/exciting has a record of achievement as a governor, or Trump, who failed to fix the border the first go in the oval office?

I like my chances with DeSantis and am willing to sacrifice fun/entertainment to get some shite done.

Another false narrative. Ron was already set to win primary before Trumps endorsement. With only Trumps endorsement, he barely won. Ron campaigned his reelection based on what he did his first term instead of Trumps endorsement and won by a significantly higher margin.

False. DeSantis was getting clobbered in the primary polls several months after Trump endorsed him. The polls changed within a week after the first DeSantis-Putnam debate.

Trump's approval rating in Florida in the fall of 2018 was minus 4 and 2018 was a Democrat +7 wave year and DeSantis still won. He won over enough suburban moms and Independents who disliked Trump. Rick Scott did the same thing.
