    DeSantis as a normal type candidate? Have you kept up with the news on him? He's more overtly fascist than Trump was. Maybe not more so than Trump is these days, but more than he was in the past.

      Desantis lacks the big boisterous spray tanned clown face. The politics of trump (increased, you say, and I agree) would be brought back to the table without the big cartoon quality of trump.

      The net effect of which would be a normalization of those specific politics. Desantis' public persona is far more normal than trumps is. No oompa loompa, no toddler tantrums, that sorta thing… You see? That's not a good thing, therefore it's better if trump stays on the ballot and the weak polls get addressed by something a little less senile on the Dem side.

      Or continue to claim Biden is perfectly fine, and watch the swing states' differing opinion return the presidency to chaos, I guess.
