the only thing that gives me pause is the fact that desantis is term-limited. if he waits until 2028, he’ll be “old news” to some extent (out of office for more than a year) and the republican field will be *packed*

You get the electoral hand you're dealt, alas. Also don't think those current gov credentials matter nearly as much, he'd arguably be stronger if he spent 4 years as a Fox contributor without a record to defend

He has made both friends & enemies as FL GOV that he could not make from FOX, at least not without lobbing a lot more Tuckerish bombs. And building a base within FL is important.

I mean versus the option of running against Trump in 2024, not like "he should resign and go to Fox today"

The advantage he has for now is that time is not Trump's friend. Trump will have to work extra hard to stay in the news, and he'll be 78 years old in 2024. And I'm not sure he's really capable anymore of focusing on anything but himself, which gets dull with repetition.

This is normally where you'd run on "We love Trump, but he couldn't win, I can." But that argument has been permanently annihilated by the party's surrender to Stop the Steal, which is why it's going to be so hard for anyone who wants to run against him as Trumpism w/o Trump.

Which is precisely why it was so important for Trump to push that.

Yes, and why anyone who didn't want him to stay in charge of the party had to stop it! But McConnell, McCarthy let it sit for three months, RNC went all-in on it, and then leaders went back to ignoring/placating it almost immediately. This is the predictable end to the choice.
