'"I am proud to have delivered on 100% of my promises and I will not stop now," DeSantis continued. "It’s clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance. They watched his presidency get stymied by relentless resistance and they see Democrats using lawfare to this day to attack him. While I have had disagreements with Donald Trump, such as on the coronavirus pandemic and his elevation of Anthony Fauci, Trump is superior to the current incumbent, Joe Biden. That is clear. I signed a pledge to support the Republican nominee and I will honor that pledge."'
Most of the people I know personally in the Republian / conservative community - I am not speaking of politicians, pundits, or outrage-peddling social-media influencers - are not ant-DeSantis (or any of the other R candidates) because they're pro-Trump, or vice versa. What I've actually found in real life is that ordinary people are perfectly capable of weighing the costs and benefits of a given decision - even in a highly charged political campaign - and making a choice one way or another.
Not long ago, I was discussing the primary campaign with a good friend, in particular Trump vs. DeSantis. We were both in agreement on all the substantive points of each candidate's respective strengths and weaknesses, and at the end of the day my friend came down narrowly on the side of DeSantis while I came down narrowly in favor of Trump.
