I still don't buy it, but of course only my gut feel.
With Casey running the show, she would not want Ron to be associated with Trump, a certified loser. What can Trump do for DeSantis? Nothing. Getting featured on Twitter is a huge leg up for him unless Trump also takes his act there.
DeSantis already has the national stage and he can raise his profile further by standing up to Trump. But of course, the MAGAts will hate him for it and I still believe that DeSantis cannot beat Trump in the primaries. Trump branded Koolaid has a long shelf life.
The uncertainty is how will the three pending lawsuits (GA and the two by Smith) impact Trump's campaign. If I were DeSantis, I will be playing this up loud and clear and take my chances with the MAGAts. In reality, DeFascist is more MAGA than the MAGAman himself and as you have said, they will come around if he is the nominee and DeSantist can also pull in the never Trumpers in the GOP.
Should turn out to be a entertaining cage fight. and if he does opt to become Trump's running mate, hope we don't get cheated out of a mano a mano battle between Ron and Don.
