Ramaswamy isn’t going to win, a large percentage of the right won’t turn out for him because of his skin color.
And what scenario can someone like DeSantis win the primary? If the GOP disqualifies Trump, the MAGA voters don’t turn out for any Republican. And if the GOP doesn’t dsiqualify Trump, the only way Desantis can win the primary is if a significant chunk of the MAGA base realizes they were lied to. And Republicans that went along with Trump (like Desantis) will earn a lot of scorn from these people that realized they were being lied to. Only way Destanit wins the primary is if the MAGAs are so disgusted with the political process entirely they drop out and stop voting. But if they stop voting, how will any GOP candidate win a general?
Sure anything can happen, but right now I can’t see a path for any GOP candidate to win the general election except for the ones like Chris Christie that have come out hard against Trump. And that’s such an extreme longshot it’s not worth worrying about much.
