Channel his inner Pinochet. I agree, that would draw more votes, but that still wouldn't get me to vote for him, because a vote for him is a vote for the big money GOP donor Republican consultant class, as exactly that sort of worm are the ones behind DeSantis. I want those fucking people expunged from all polite society, much less the Republican party.
I mostly agree. He wouldn't be the worst president, and I could conceivably vote for him if I think he beat Trump fairly with no shenanigans. But I would do so extremely reluctantly. For all the good DeSantis has undeniably done, I've never trusted him, and I think he's a snake.
Most importantly, as you say, a vote for him shapes the GOP in ways I really don't like. A vote for DeSantis (again, despite the good qualities I do believe he has) is a vote against "MAGA."
Simple as that, at least in my eyes. The DeSantis camp wants to roll back a lot of the good Trump did for the political landscape.
