I'm not going to argue there.
I'm unapologetically pro-DeSantis and will continue to be so until he's either out of the race or does something so egregiously stupid that I can no longer in good conscience support him, at which point I will sit on the sidelines and commit my vote to whichever candidate wins the GOP nomination.
This being said, even if DeSantis wins the nomination, which is unlikely, I'd give him at best a 25% chance of winning the presidency (which is 25% more than I'd give Trump, the likely GOP nominee).
The problem is demographics. Republicans have lost the demographic war. The Democrats have a lock on all minority voters, college-educated whites, single women, and Gen-Z.
They wake up on the morning of Election Day with 257 Electoral Votes already in the bag. This is a tough obstacle to overcome.

He’s not IN the race.
Unhappily, I agree with your analysis. The number of deeply STUPID, disconnected-from-reality and not learning voters is terrifying. Public education and cell phone indoctrination has done its job. The Gen-Z, including my very intelligent daughter, have no connection to the real world. And they get to vote.
