It's mostly because the DeSantis fits the mold of a traditional politician who has actual politician skills and actual agenda that he can do.
He's cold calculating and absolute bully in a traditional sense of a regular politician whereas Trump is simply a wild card joker that does whatever he wants.
Ron's definition of freedom is the choices that I give you that you're allowed to do.
He knows the inner workings of the system so he absolutely must be stopped.
If he was less egotistical and more charming (like Bush Jr) he'd be formidable.
Watch Bush Jr on Jimmy Kimmel and see how he could actually laugh at himself. And no I am not advocating for him. I'm showing why folks can vote for him inspite of his flaws.
Ditto with Obama and Clinton.
Ron is literally Steven Seagal. Bush is Van Damme.
Both are B actors. But one of them knew it was ok to poke fun of themselves and be in on the joke and take a good ribbing. The other is a annoying self-centered prick incapable of acting human. Hence why Van Damme is still loved and Seagal is a pariah.
But he can't help himself and in the 2024 campaign will fall. HARD. Watch.
George Will summed it up
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is defining himself before his rivals can define him, but not to his advantage. He seems intelligent but unpleasant, forthright but prickly, accomplished but incapable of political grace notes. He also seems tightly scripted — perhaps for good reasons.
His unforced errors include describing Russia’s war of annihilation against Ukraine as a “territorial dispute.” And backing a ban on abortion after six weeks, which is before women often know they are pregnant. (Is he trying to forfeit the female vote in suburbia, where the 2024 election might be decided?) And vowing, unintelligibly (see the Constitution’s Article IV, Section 2), that he will “not assist” any extradition of Trump from Florida.
In politics as in baseball, at which the young DeSantis excelled, “AAAA players” are those who excel in AAA ball, the highest minor league, but fail above that. A presidential campaign is a rigorous apprenticeship that DeSantis, although still not an announced candidate, is, less than a mile into the marathon, flunking.
