I'm not sure why people think the same college+ whites in the suburbs who were turned off by Trump wouldn't be completely turned off by DeSantis as well?
Because DeSantis is smarter, saner and has a much cleaner personal life?
How many people did Trump actually turn off that way?
Exactly. DeSantis is toxic to the suburbs/college+ whites in the same way Trump was - how they act. DeSantis is a buffoon, and also just a jerk. Trump's messy personal life was just one more thing on top of everything else, but it wasn't really the catalyst for why he was so toxic in the suburbs and to college+ whites.
He's a jerk because he called out the media for a blatant character assassination attempt?
Frankly, I believe the media are the most destructive force in our country today. Anyone who stands up to them gets points from me.
