Agree...but he's less Trumpy than Trump. Kindler, gentler.

A DeSantis voter is someone who likes the Trump agenda but wants it presented in a better looking/less threatening package. He's Trump Lite. Vivek is Trump Extra Strength.
If I had to guess, I'd agree

That DeSantis (though a bit unpalatable for my tastes) wouldn't actively seek some of the crazy shit Trump and Vivek want.

He'd probably rile up people with social mud flinging issues and immigration, but I suppose he's stopped short of calling for rounding up his poltiical enemies. Which is a sadly low bar, but if I had to pick a less bad outcome, that'd be it.

We'll call it, in order:

1. Biden pulls an LBJ and some mystery moderate Dem everyone loves steps in.
2. Biden
3. Haley
4. A light kick to the groin
5. DeSantis
6. a gas explosion in my house
7. Trump
