    Ehhh, I’m not so sure. The Clown had a knack for dragging those people who never voted or were nonpolitical, prior to 2016, into voting booths. Without him do they care to vote?

      Good point. Still, I worry that most dangerous thing to happen to the country next year is for someone to win with Trump’s policies, but with a higher degree of competence and professionalism.

      It’s hard to say if his base will see and get engaged enough to vote for that. Culture Warrior DeSantis seems to get them pretty excited.

        I’m not too worried about DeSantis, honestly. He’s a horrible orator with no charisma — with any luck, he won’t energize people in nearly the same way.

      They’ll still show up and vote for him and claim the system is rigged.

        If he doesn’t get the GOP nomination then I definitely encourage them to write him in during the general election.
