Agreed DeSantis is at least as bad as Trump if not worse. The direct attacks he's positioned with Disney (IMO to get his name out there in the media rather than this being an actual political position) purely because they had the audacity to speak out about the abortion laws he was changing (Florida now bans abortions after 6 weeks when a lot of women probably don't even know they are pregnant), just shows how juvenile and how he follows the same mantra of Trump,when you are questioned, you attack, attack, attack.
Of all of the nominations I think Tim Scott comes across as the best option personally. Well funded so should be able to use campaign finances to get his name out there across the entire country. He certainly doesn't appeal to the loud MAGA brigade but would bring the Repbulicans back in from as far right as they have become under Trump. He would appeal to the black republicans to come out and vote also, which may be attractive to the republicans, though I think he will more likely become a running buddy for someone else with the idea that he would become vice president.
