I don’t know if DeSantis would run as an independent, but I do know that my parents would vote for him if he did, especially since they live in CA where they’re convinced their views in presidential elections don’t make a bit of difference. I absolutely guarantee that Trump would run as an independent if he doesn’t get the nomination, since admitting defeat gracefully is not something he is able to do.

Plus, we just need more people thinking DeSantis has a chance before the primaries and the situation for the RNC gets even more muddled

Edit: plus, Republicans getting upset or ambivalent about the nominee is a sure way to depress voter turnout, so the more infighting, the better for Democrats, even if DeSantis doesn’t run as an independent
