While DeSantis’s synthetic version of Trumpism has won over plenty of converts, it has not managed to fully replace the touch and feel of the genuine article
like most of the Murdoch media empire, has been operating almost indistinguishably from DeSantis’s proto-campaign for president. This article fawned over DeSantis’s family, showing the devoted couple and their adorable children in a series of photos. And yet the weak point in this pitch turned out to be the candidate himself, whose attempted paeans to marital bliss were alarmingly devoid of anything resembling emotion.
The DeSantis campaign has been an exercise in trying to wean the base off its Trump addiction and onto what the Republican elite regards as a healthier substitute. DeSantis has worked tirelessly to identify and replicate the components of Trump’s appeal, from his mannerisms to his policies. And while DeSantis’s synthetic version of Trumpism has won over plenty of converts, it has not managed to fully replace the touch and feel of the genuine article.
So each candidate has one favorable issue to use against the other. But both of them seem to sense the race is not likely to be determined on the basis of issues. The biggest matter that currently divides them is Trump’s enormous legal jeopardy. By this way of thinking, Trump’s criminal exposure only makes him even more of a loser. DeSantis will almost surely speak of Trump’s legal predicament in sympathetic terms. Liberal prosecutors and the “Biden regime” are abusing their power and persecuting law-abiding citizens like poor Donald.
