      “In the running”, definitionally, means that there’s a chance he could win. Do you not think there’s a chance he could win?

        No chance for that man. Aside from his Florida baggage, he can’t possibly win on the national stage.

          Back in 2024, he shook up the primary race quite a bit. If Trump hadn’t been a candidate, DeSantis would have clinched the GOP nomination.

        My comment is a bit tongue in cheek, but no, I don’t think DeSantis has much of any chance to win the presidency. IMO he doesn’t have anywhere near the charisma necessary to fill the power vacuum that Trump’s gonna leave.

          I don’t think anyone who currently stands out as a potential GOP candidate has the charisma to fill Trump’s vacuum, and in that sense, I do think that DeSantis does pose a bit of a threat. I’m not confident enough to definitively say that I think he WILL be the GOP nominee, but I think folks need to keep an eye on him.
