re: DeSantis has most of Trump’s strengths without his many weaknesses

Trump is not going to win if he runs in 2024. He will, for the third straight election, underperform the majority of down-ballot Republicans in the suburbs of most states, including those that he wins. His weakness is he does a shite job of appealing to these suburban voters, many of whom are women, who are Republican-leaning voters who have split tickets for the last 2 elections. They voted for most if not all down-ballot Republicans the last 2 Presidential elections but didn’t vote for Trump.

If you want to lose in 2024, by all means get behind Trump. I’m done with losing. DeSantis is a slam-dunk. DeSantis does better with women, suburban, minority, and younger voters than Trump does, and thus won’t badly underperformed most down-ballot Republicans. He’s also far more articulate and a much better debater, and he won’t surround himself with conspiracy nuts (Wood and Powell) who will encourage voters to boycott runoffs and hand over seats to Democrats. He’s also much younger, which is a plus. He’ll be 46 in 2024 whereas Trump will be close to 80. Not to mention, DeSantis is clean as a whistle in his personal life and we’d be able to play the “moral high ground” card with him.
