No idea on Barnette, hadn't heard of her at all before someone posted about her here in the last week or so.
As for DeSantis:
Trump will almost certainly run in 2024. And IMO, anyone sane should vote for him over Harris or whichever nutjob gets put up on the D ticket. That said, Trump should not run. He really shouldn't. He's just too divisive and there are too many NPCs out there. The salt mines would be amazing, especially if he won again, but I'm very skeptical if he could. The well is just too poisoned.
DeSantis, though, has a lot of policy successes to stand on (especially with regard to Covid), is pretty solid platform-wise, and has actually taken actions to push back against the Woke crew rather than talking about it. And while the media will undoubtedly try to portray him as Trump 2.0 he doesn't have as much of an immediate negative reaction from normies. Will see what happens in the next 2 years but for now I really think he should be the R nominee in 2024.
I do think Biden is so bad a lot of people would vote for Trump who wouldn't have before, but he'll never be allowed to win as we saw. He's better off as a king maker. Sure, he makes some bad plays with the people he chooses to endorse, but overall I think he's a net positive. Plus the republican establishment hates him, which is a positive in my book.
I don't like all of them. I think he picks people like Oz because it's a sure win compared to Barnette (whether that's really true or not). Unfortunately that means more rinos, but I guess I'd take that over the dems. Hopefully he gets so annoyed with the RNC he works to screw them over but I'm not going to hold my breath.

most of his endorsements are bad plays
