DeSantis has been pretty good on two issues: lockdowns, and satanic indoctrination in schools. And by "pretty good," I mean that he's pushing back slightly on the school stuff, and he stopped doing statewide lockdowns pretty early.

On all other issues, though... Best friend of Israel, totally silent on monetary and fiscal suicide, fine with expanding state power in the short term and then handing it back to his enemies. He is not the guy. He should stay in Florida, where he's a real improvement over the alternatives.

Trump was pretty incompetent, and made lots of terrible hiring decisions, trusting the deep state to work with him in order to dismantle itself. He let Jared Kushner direct a lot of foreign policy. Most of what was wrong with his administration, from a MAGA standpoint, can be traced back to these two issues. It appears that he has learned his lesson on both.

In the absence of Dave Smith winning on the LP ticket, it needs to be OMB.
