2024 Contender or Pretender: DeSantis

Calling Card: Trump, but better.

Faction: Reactionary

Prospects: More competent and less corrupt than Trump, but almost as flamboyantly reactionary, and with the proven ability to own the libs, he appears to be just what the base wants, if Trump doesn’t run.

Prediction: Contender. Barring unexpected events in Florida between now and 2024, he’s the frontrunner for the nomination.
