Perhaps this is the deal: no, DeSantis is not normal. Nearer normal. He would be despicable over policies, not petty grievances and sidling into autocracy. He doesn’t have the charismatic devotion, or I don’t think even the desire, to accomplish that. Gentle the Republicans away from the crazy. Baby steps.

No, they didn't say that at all. They said he has the traits and policies of trump, just not the baggage (again with the pivot to "we want to win elections", not a repudiation of trumpism and the GOP's embrace of it, itself). It isn't just the voters, it's many of the never-trumpers, even at the Bulwark, who are so thrilled that the party might dump trump, they will eventually become supporters of the non-trump GOP candidate....
I am going to hate to see that day. If it ever comes I will be rethinking my sub, but will probably keep it because I need JVL's writing injected directly into my veins.
