Gee sundunce, I live in Florida and haven’t noticed your cited problems: “the abandoned and collapsing state of Florida.”
No Florida is fine. DeSantis does a good job as governor.
However his campaigning so far has been very poor. Not even close to former runner-ups like Ted Cruz.
That’s likely the reason he’s polling poorly. The GOP base may think they can’t afford to nominate someone who doesn’t campaign well, even if he would be a good president.
Do you pay homeowners insurance? Cost of living is going up like crazy and Florida haven’t you noticed? Oh yeah, I may be here one of those rich guys.
