shouldn't that be FcP?

Or the Ffp. 

And no intelligent adult would ever think you were either conservative or republican.

You might be right,
But what do you think?

We in America have learned bitter lessons from two World Wars: It is better to be here ready to protect the peace, than to take blind shelter across the sea, rushing to respond only after freedom is lost. We’ve learned that isolationism never was and never will be an acceptable response to tyrannical governments with an expansionist intent.
Ronald Reagan, (6 JUNE 1984)

[Edit to add: I am not a Republican, but the above quote indicates that Lucifer isn't one either.]

He would be good but he does not have what Trump has. 

1. The drive, whether it's narcissistic self-aggrandizement or something else, to risk everything (prison, wealth, life even) for his cause.  I don't see DeSantis withstanding that level of persecution; I feel like he'd cave to the establishment.  He has a more normal sense of self-preservation.

2. The ability to get the message to the people that his cause is the people. Trump's cause is not ideology, it's us. The feeling from DeSantis is that his cause is conservatism. Nothing wrong with that, it's better than leftism, but it is still a remote abstract rather than down in the trenches with us.

3. The foreign business experience in different cultures which is part of why Trump kept us out of war. The other part is the very thing he's criticized for: He's so crazy he'll pop off WW3, which is the very thing that prevents it. Putin was unsure if Trump would bomb Moscow like he threatened if he invaded Ukraine, so he didn't do it.  DeSantis might do fine in foreign affairs but right now it is a total unknown, and he lacks the "crazy" aspect that is part of Trump's arsenal.

4. Billions of dollars. DeSantis is not wealthy enough to be immune from monetary bribery or threats.

DeSantis would be fine in a normal world as would many others, but right now we don't have a normal world, we have an immediate threat of an irreversible oligarchical hardening that puts the elite first and the regular citizen last. We need more than a good leader, we need a unique warrior for this. Trump is RARE.  We're not gonna get another one in our lifetime.

It won’t explode. Nothing will happen until people are starving. The most they’ll do is vote for Trump in a massive red wave but that will be overcome with Dem cheating.  We’ll get Biden, then we’ll get Harris when Joe has a stroke, unless they hide it and let Jill pretend to run things behind the scenes.  In the meantime they’ll ramp up the mass surveillance and head off any possibility of revolt just like China does and we will be permanently a totalitarian state with our “Liberty and Justice for All” just a sick joke but kept as slogan for the tyrants to rub in our faces.

Yep
