Will Ron DeSantis be the Republican Candidate for President in 2024?

DeSantis seems to be Rupert Murdoch's choice.

If he is, he has plenty of time to hang himself with his maga crap.

Ron DeSantis should be considered extreme right like Bernie is extreme left and will be the darling of the MAGAts but not so to the moderates and independents. Tim Scott is the one I think has a great chance. Any one of the GOP candidates need to withstand a full bore Trump assault, not sure who can and how the cult will react.

Yes, I consider Bernie to be a real Soshialist and/or a bleeding heart liberal.

By American standards, yes. By European standards, no.
