They (Trump and DeSantis) are both Horse’s asses, neither is electable due to their MAGA-Appealing positions which stoke the Republican Primaries but alienate the majority of the Electorate, Independents and Women Voters in particular.

DeSantis's Achilles Heel is himself --- an arrogant douche, who is utterly charmless and can't do any aspect of retail politics.

The following is an outtake from an AlterNet article:

Before being elected governor DeSantis was a U.S. Congressman from 2013-2018.

“If you’re going to go into politics, kind of a fundamental skill that you should have is likability,” Dave Trott, a Republican former U.S. Representative from Michigan who served during the time DeSantis was in Congress told Politico.

“I don’t think [he] has that,” Trott said, referring to DeSantis’ “likability,” or lack thereof.

“He never developed any relationships with other members that I know of. You’d never see him talking on the floor with other people or palling around. He’s just a very arrogant guy, very focused on Ron DeSantis.”

I'll go along with Charlie Sykes: at least Elon Muck's starship got off the launch pad before it was "speedily deconstructed."

Republicans shouldn’t be allowed to be in charge of anything until they address their authoritarian tendencies. They need years and years of therapy. They can’t even be allowed the Senate because they’ll quash SC nominees for made up rationalizations. And loony toons in the House indict themselves. 🙄

Wow so you finally admitted that Trump is beating Biden yet you don't do it in a video

So please tell me how Trump isn't the favorite for 2024 when he's

1. Leading in the polls

2. Biden doesn't have incumbent advantage against a former president if anything he has incumbent disadvantage because people will directly compare how the country is now versus how it was 4 years ago and according to the polls way more americans believe it was better under Trump

3. Biden's margin of victory is the smallest since the 2000 election a mere 42k votes he can't afford to lose half the margin that Trump did

4. Trump's favorability has never been higher since his inaguration ( outside the one or two skewed outlier polls ) Biden's meanwhile has never been lower

Why did Trump beat Hillary? I have an opinion. Her statement. “I don’t know who created Pokémon Go,” she said. “But I’m trying to figure out, how we get them to have, Pokémon Go to the polls.” My addition, "Why do they call it a Water Park and not a Water Park the car?" Please hold your applause. Really? Most cringe worthy statement of all times ( in politics anyways) Her E-mail scandal was nothing after that statement. Bill cheating on her, was then meaningless. All we were left with was the lamest joke ever from a woman who is reported to have a great sense of humor failing spectacularly. My memories of silly Trump looming in the background during the debates and his other fails pales in comparison. I bet DeSantis can beat her on that front though. He can do it!!! I have faith in him. The white Go-Go boots are just a teaser. The smile that is made up of pulling your cheeks back into a grimace showing your teeth is his hallmark. Dude, cheeks back and also a bit up!!! He looks like he is visiting the dentist and not schmoozing with high end donors. With his charisma, my only question is, why he is not still a virgin. He is clueless. I think the FBI should maybe send in a hostage rescue team for his wife. I am still looking for her eyes to blink a Morse code message, "Save me!". She has blinked SOS many times, but that is usually after a new poll comes out.

Agree that abortion and guns will be a huge issue in the general, therefore, DeSantis will not be as electable as he was said to have been. I do not find him to be very personable or likable at all. He is a suck up for his own agenda and the MAGA crowd of deplorables. Where I think people make the mistake with DeSantis, his appearance is much more polished, professional, statesmanlike. However, be careful of what you wish for, he is as bad as Trump.

DeSantis is definitely more electable than Donald Trump in a General Election. Remember Donald Trump lost the General Election in 2020 . Also, on the Abortion issue, Remember it was Donald Trump who promised to appoint Supreme Court Judges who will overturn Roe v wade. And he did just that. The suburban women would be reminded that by Joe Biden and the Democrats.
