It’s very simple.

You can love Trump.

You can be livid that he was targeted.

You can be infuriated at prosecutors’ treatment of him.

But, if you want to win the general election and not keep this nation in the hands of radical leftists, you cannot vote for him.

I just don't see it. The only election he ever won was a fluke. He won by some 80,000 votes over 6 states as I recall to win the electoral college vote. He lost the popular vote. On the other hand, Ron DeSantis has won the popular vote in 5 straight elections.

And DeSantis is a Republican governor of a Republican state. Not a great example.

The general narrative seems to be slowly pushing back against Biden. He was basically shown as perfect until the past few months or so. I think this means that Trump has a real chance.

Does DeSantis have a better chance? I doubt it. Brand recognition is a major player, and I don't see how DeSantis could get his brand out there better than Trump.

But Trump is generally known and his brand is negative with many voters. Many are sick of the continual personal drama with Trump. DeSantis has room for growth as more voters become familiar with him.
