Samuel, I have a different take on this.

Of the three likely to get the Republican nomination, Trump, DeSantis, and Ramaswamy, who would make the least awful president?

Donald Trump would be vengeance on top of incompetence multiplied. America would be worse than leaderless.

Ron DeSantis is clever. But unworldly and the antithesis of generosity. He believes the Trump grievance and retribution, and his presidency would be isolationism, selfish, and dangerous.

Ramaswamy is clever and currently spouts rubbish, which may enable him to displace Trump where others can't.

To win the general election, Ramaswamy would have to change spots and have wider or new appeal.

Many thanks. Best.
