You don't want him to be the nominee. I like DeSantis too. But I would slow down on the guarantees. I think they will be on the same ticket. What DeSantis did in Florida isn't guaranteed through out the rest of the country either.

You are 0 for 5 on your picks:
Democrat celebrity candidates Stacey Abrams and "Beto" O’Rourke are a combined 0-5 running for major offices.
No amount of Hollywood money or Hollywoodization, loving TV attention and book deals can fix that. But the left certainly tried. Nearly $200 million was spent on these two losers just in 2022. The total for all five losses is more than $300 million. Beto, known in the real world as Robert Francis, lost a run for Senate, president, and now governor. Texas might actually have to create another important office just so he could lose a fourth time.
To her credit, Abrams only lost twice, both for governor.
Abrams, who repeatedly complained about her loss in 2018, was pre-whining the 2022 result, "Suppression is about barriers to access.". Of course, there she was in 2019 in the New York Times with a frowny face next to the headline. "Why Stacey Abrams is still saying she won." She became Democrats' top example of election denial. ..
"Pandemonium ensues as she walks to the far left of the stage, like a runway supermodel, stops on a dime, poses, tilts her head slightly and smiles," Washington Post writer Kevin Powell laughably described.
She certainly was a consensus media choice. You can tell that by all the attention she got – what the industry calls earned media. They were the magazine covers: Time, Marie Claire, Essence, Newsweek ("Can Stacey Abrams Save the Democrats – Again?" ) Even Variety, with actress Viola Davis.
She was on "The Daily Show" five times, according to her extensive Internet Movie Database profile. Also, twice for "Desus & Mero," once for the TV show "Black-ish," twice on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and you get the point.
The most ridiculous of all was "Star Trek: Discovery," which cast her as "President of United Earth," wearing a goofy cape. Oddly, she wore a superhero-esque cape in one of her Washington Post photos.
There was even the "Stacy Abrams Action Figure." (Originally $20, But after her second loss perhaps they will remarket it as an inaction figure.)
lol I'd be surprised if I've ever typed either name before much less picked either to win anything. I bring the truth daily, not just during elections.
