Listening to the DeSantis announcement/interview on Twitter. The whole thing -- both his prepared remarks and the subsequent interview -- is pretending that DeSantis is already in the general election running against Biden.

The question should be: “We know your message against Biden. What’s your message to Republican primary voters who today overwhelmingly support Trump?” That's the only question.

@gruber I'm seeing DiSantis not as a realistic bet against Trump in the primaries, rather a long-shot but not-crazy bet that Trump flames out due to health or legal problems, leaving the field more open - in that scenario, honing the anti-Biden message is rational.

@timbray @gruber I mean, the guy is completely unelectable, right?

...right?

@thomholwerda @timbray @gruber Has anyone from Florida ever won a primary?
