Disagree with DeSantis being a RINO. The left despises him, second only to Trump. I question a lot of DeSantis's choices in friends but he still has time to fall in line. But I think DeSantis's track record as gov of Florida more than speaks for itself.

They are giving DeSantis the "McCain" treatment. Propping him up as the "reasonable" Republican alternative vs the supposed fringe crazies. They like to prop up Republicans they think are the easiest to beat in a general election and then trash them once they get the nom. Remember how McCain was the "maverick" and "centrist" during the primaries but after he got the nom to run against Obama he became some senile old fart, racist, blah blah.
