I think I'd prefer Trump as the nomination for the GOP. Then at least we'd know the kind of nutter he is.
DeSantis might be an unknown quantity for many, and in that perspective more dangerous.

I quite liked the idea that Trump does not need to run again in 2024, because he's still the President.

Ms Lake - who was endorsed by Mr Trump - told the BBC during campaigning that the former president should not need to run again in the 2024 election because "he won the last election"

Republicans are still slightly favoured to secure the 218 seats they need to win back the majority.

That would also give him the maximum allowed two terms.

But Trump is definitely now a divisive figure in the GOP, whereas DeSantis could unify the party again, only under the same old tired rhetoric.

The rhetoric from some of the Republicans along the lines of 'ELECTION FRAUD HAS BEEN COMITTED!' when a vote doesn't go their way is verging on being completely and utterly ridiculous. Am I saying voting systems aren't susceptible to fraud? No, of course not. However to trot this mantra out whenever they lose is pathetic.

Good to see more and more republicans saying to the effect of 'Trump's now doing us more harm than good.'

They haven't got a lot of choice. The last three election cycles have proved that.

The right wing fruit loops in the US are raging at is Presidential run announcement. It's him admitting he's not actually the Pres any longer and that all those predicted 'back-to-the-throne' dates were all just made up. Poor Andy must be in bits.
