The sad truth is that no President can fix this country. The rot runs too deep.
Even if by some miracle someone who you described overcomes the cheating and wins, and they surround themselves with a good team, the deep state will be able to limit the scope of what he can fix. And they'll just assassinate him if he gets too close to enacting serious changes.
Is DeSantis GOP establishment? I think he was a Tea Party and publicly was pro-Trump since even before he descended the escalator.
They don't need to be a firebreather, but they need to be ruthless. This was the problem with Trump, he's basically good natured. You hear him on the secret tapes and it's not somebody who would pulling fingernails off with pliers. I bet if you heard DeSantis's inner monologue he'd be going off on how they can really fuck Disney and dick over liberals.
You need a Tom Cotton, in my opinion. Someone who sees brownshirts seizing territory and burning cities as a military problem that justifies a military solution.
I don't have much faith in electoral politics at the national level either. I've been telling people who want to have such faith that they need a different attitude.
Conservatives keep looking for a hero. Instead, they need to have a more adversarial attitude. Instead of getting high on copium and hopium all the time, they need to be ready to bully "their own" politicians, to turn on them when let down and especially outright betrayed. Treat them like you will have to drag them, kicking and screaming, into doing the right thing because that's the only chance you have that they will.

I don't expect Desantis of being able to fix the nation.
No one will be allowed to fix the nation.
Getting DeSantis in as POTUS is harm reduction. We cannot take another term of Biden.
With Trump we risk another term of Biden.
They'll just turn DeSantis into Trump 2.0. Suddenly there will be rumors of an "n-word tape" and ties to white supremacist groups.
But I get what you're saying. I'd like to believe that DeSantis could get in there and Democrats wouldn't overreact but I just don't see it.

Tom Cotton is a self-professed neocon.
He would get the U.S. involved in multiple new wars.
Cotton is ok on domestic policy but he is godawful on foreign policy.
The only one I'm sure about is H. Ross Perot.
What could have been... RIP good sir!
