I worry that Trump is too damaged to win the next election. If he is the nominee I will vote for him, but I'd rather be voting for DeSantis. I like how he has governed in Florida. Of course, to liberals he's every bit as toxic as Trump. But I'm thinking that DeSantis can capture the so-called independent voters better than Trump. Then of course there is Vivek Ramaswamy, who says everything that appeals to me but who is a virtual unknown.
On the Dimocrat side, Biden is obviously addled, but my liberal in-laws somehow think he's not and that he's doing a wonderful job. The DNC is not going to allow a primary debate, which would for now include RFK Jr and Marianne Williamson. Not spoken of as a candidate (yet) but thought to be waiting in the wings should Biden fail, physically or mentally, is Gavin Newsom who would seek to destroy the nation in the same manner as California.
I would like to see DeSantis running against RFK Jr. Well, let's say I would like to have to choose between the two, and I would surely go for DeSantis. BUT, the worry is that RFK Jr could possibly garner enough independents to defeat DeSantis, unless the media damage of labeling him as an "anti-vaccine conspiracy promoter" sticks and enough independents count him out.
