When are you going to learn it doesn’t matter who runs? Trump is the most recent ultimate evil… you think DeSantis won’t be even worse with fake rape claims etc? They’ve always accelerated, thinking you can appease them is insane.
We shouldn't pretend that they won't make "half the country" hate whoever, even one of their own like Romney, but Trump is a uniquely hateable figure. Or maybe an acquired taste.
Somebody would have to be unbelievably charismatic and quick-witted to make it through the media onslaught unscathed. They obliterated Ron Paul. Trump is good at quips and soundbites but he's also an old man who phrases things poorly sometimes, which made it easier for them to attack him with out of context quotes. I haven't seen enough of DeSantis to know how he would hold up.
I've seen many election cycles at this point in my life and it is true that the Dems and the media will character assassinate any GOP candidate. However, Trump is different and the hysteria surrounding him surpasses the baseline level of hate that every Republican receives. I think that it's due to his polarizing personality and the way he speaks. It goes beyond the banal political rhetoric like X Republican is racist for supporting voter ID and securing the border. People love and loathe Trump for the stuff that he says and the way that he says it. It doesn't help Trump that he's a soundbite factory for the media. That's why stuff like the infamous "very fine people" comment lingers years after he says it.
I get what you are saying because despite how Bush, Romney, and McCain are media darlings now they were once evil racists according to MSM. Trump does provoke a white hot rage in leftists that I didn’t even see with Bush
Trump was the first republican candidate after the woke shift and the first outsider in general. Democrats were riding high on smug and their world collapsed when he was elected. I don’t seem them de-escalating if Trump doesn’t win the primary.
Running Trump 2024 is asking for the left to supercharge their turnout while DeSantis 2024 gives us a much better shot of winning.
It is impossible to make DeSantis more hated than Trump because he doesn't fall for the media traps and his personal life is not fucked up like Trump's.

DeSantis is unfortunately pretty boring.

No one is trying to appease them.

Neither was Kavanaughs…
