I agree, Trump is ineffective in promoting the platform he ran on in 2015-2016. Because of his inability to compose an administration of effective serious people to execute those policies. Instead, he brought in people who sabotaged him, betrayed him, or were not even on board to begin with. Namely, neo-conservatives, and neo-liberals, as well as charlatans, and flatterers. On top of that, he capitulated and/or didn't do enough to keep his campaign promises. I do think his SCOTUS picks were great for the conservative movement, but if it wasn't for the Roe v Wade ruling, I think there would have been a Red Tsunami, rather than what happened last night. I personally don't care much for the ruling, but it really galvanized many people in the middle, who would have otherwise voted Republican, due to inflation and crime. Had the Supreme Court overturned Affirmative Action instead, it would be different, because most Americans don't want Affirmative Action.

DeSantis on the other hand has experience as a politician who won two terms, he is well liked, he champions much of the platform that Trump ran on in 2015-2016. On top of that, he came from ordinary means, but went on to become a Yale, and Harvard graduate. He also served in the armed forces as a Naval Officer. He seems like the ideal GOP candidate for 2024 who could defeat Biden, Harris, or Newsome.
