I don't think DeSantis would kill anyone and I think he's smart enough to make sure his continued power is not even in doubt.

Trump is a clown who lost his race, lost the House, lost the Senate. DeSantis will cement power just like Hungary's Orban.

Trump is a showboat and little else, but he’s been in the WH and might have learned something.

DeSantis is a more conventional politico and he probably understands the minutiae of power levers better, but isn’t as exciting to watch as Trump.

Pick your poison! Anyone worried by these two needs to do some serious soul searching about how awful their politics is before someone comes along combining Trump’s and DeSantis’s ‘strengths’ into a single person.

Something about his crazy eyes and the way the GOP isn’t pretending to be normal anymore suggests he’d just do it himself.

DeSantis would be worse, but Trump did so much damage in his four years. I stick to my belief that the reason that Biden/Harris isn’t as visible as other previous president/VP duos is because they’re quietly repairing the damage Trump did. I’m not in a position to know specifically, but Trump set bombs, booby traps and generally sht the bed everywhere, as did his incompetent and/or malicious staff.

We have seen the past 18 months - Biden - hands down.

You people really are incapable of answering the question posed, aren't you?

You people are way too sensitive. I frankly don’t know why people get emotional about politics.

Yeah why would people get emotional about gun violence, reproductive health, rights to marry, attempted violent coups....

I’m a Democrat and I would absolutely pick DeSantis over Trump. No question. I think Trump is sui generis.

I don’t know. Both are so trashy. It is hard to believe one was our president and the other might be. Just pure trash.

The real damage comes from decades of crappy mainstream politics, any particular politician is just a small part of that.

Seriously people: this country is long overdue for a major upgrade. Ignoring that is just making someone you really don’t like, like Trump or DeSantis or possibly much worse, even more likely. Have none of you here learned anything from the last few years?

Idk but frankly I am getting scared.

However, I am persuadable. I can imagine Trump's people having learned from experience and becoming more vicious.

Jonathan Swan is convinced your last sentence is correct

Agree,Desantis is smarter and would cause more damage. With the exception of a hand full of focused, competent people Trump just put in self serving sycophants who didn't really do much.

No idea. Just don’t let either happen, people.
