I still think there is a clear path to victory in the GOP nomination for DeSantis, all he has to do is not be afraid to go after Trump in a way that hurts Trump.

If he just calls him "old" and focuses on Trump ahead of everyone else, that is enough.

If he keeps on with this woke crap though it will go badly wrong very quickly.

I’m not sure he can stop with the woke crap. He’s addicte, lives for it now.

He does chase cameras like the former House member he is. Senators and governors are usually better about that sort of thing. They know the cameras will find them sooner or later, so fewer feel the need to wag their tails and do stupid pet tricks for attention. Some of them even crawl out windows with their dry cleaning like Indiana Jones to avoid them.

De Santis has a lot of ground to make up and a poor launch isn’t going to convince voters that he can credibly take on Trump.

He's with everybody else in the "pray for a prosecutor to bag Trump" camp. IMO he has the worst position of anyone, because in that world he still has to beat the field. There's still plenty of time for someone more electable to emerge.

When was the last time it wasn't awful? 1952, maybe? Eisenhower, Taft, Warren and MacArthur is a credible slate on the Republican side, and Stevenson, Barkley, Humphrey, Kefauver and a damaged-goods Truman is also a legit pack of politicians seeking the nomination.

2008 - a young articulate black man with a law background, grass roots organizer and junior senator vs someone who had been in politics most of her life and ate, lived and breathed policy. Regardless of what anyone thinks of her, she at least was a serious person with serious ideas.

vs

a moderate, common sense (relatively) veteran with years of experience in the Senate that had a history of getting bipartisan legislation done.

At least this could have been a reasonable choice until he didn't stick to his guns to cross party lines for his VP choice and instead went with the worst of the right wing lunatics.

Really, this pick for VP was the last straw before the GOP's submission to Trumpism
