re: Have the Ron DeSantis supporters assimilated into the new normal?

And a candidate who appeals to those people will lose a portion of the MAGA crowd who never voted Republican or never even voted before 2016.

It worked out well for Ron DeSantis, Brian Kemp, and Glenn Youngkin. They all won their most recent General Elections by keeping the MAGA base and bringing in tons of suburban Independents who would rather drink bleach than vote for Trump.

The metro Atlanta and Northern Virginia suburban soccer moms may claim to love Mitt and Haley, but their white guilt would have them voting for Ilhan Omar or AOC if given a choice.

That's not true.

The Atlanta suburban soccer moms voted for every single state-wide Republican in 2022 other than Herschel Walker because he had the Trump stink on him. These same people voted for down-ballot Republicans in 2020 and 2016 and are the reason why Trump underperformed multiple Republicans in the Atlanta suburban counties.

NOVA soccer moms voted for every Republican on the ballot in 2021. These same people voted for Congressional Republicans in both 2016 and 2020. Trump underperformed Congressional Republicans in the NOVA counties both years he was on the ballot.
