On the other hand, if the GOP went with desantis or someone else, a number of the die hards might not vote Republican at all. It's hard to say how it'll all shake out.

EDIT: Oh, I see you mentioned him running third party. Yeah, that might be the best case scenario for Democrats.

I actually think DeSantis would be almost as good for the Dems as Trump would be - but I get the feeling that even R has figured out he's a bad play. I could be wrong of course...
