What's this?

Just spit balling about the future, so not betting any money, but I can buy

Haley as a major favorite if she wins the nomination. Not DeSantis honestly. I actually think his far right turn as evidenced by his midnight 6 week abortion ban, his slavery as a jobs program educational initiatives, and his attempts to attack Trump from Trump’s right would be a major albatross under the glare of a general election. Not to mention his various social wars with major private employers.

The man went from being a fairly sane policy guy to rwnj wingnut, and I think it will backfire on him. Already has in the primaries.
