He’s got Donald Trump’s policies, fire, and fight in a form that can actually win many of the battles Trump lost because of a lack of discipline and an inability to understand that you can’t just pointlessly alienate everyone but your base. I know me saying that will rub some the wrong way, but I think it’s true. Trump ushered in a new era, but he’s not the embodiment of perfection when it comes to that era. DeSantis may not be either, but he’s an obvious evolution on the groundwork laid by Trump. The way he’s handled his state during the pandemic, making his critics look like fools, has been a welcome sight, and it stands in stark contrast to most other Republicans. DeSantis has a unique ability to not only attack the media, but to consistently win against them.
