Is it really any secret the bourgeoisie were unhappy with Trump? He was erratic and unpredictable, plus he riled up the population far more than the ruling class is comfortable with. The summer of 2020 had nationwide riots. The January 6 thing seems silly to us, but it genuinely freaked out establishment politicians and their donation networks. I think what freaked them out the most though were waves of unionization efforts, like that time TSA employees threatened to strike during the government shutdowns.
The parties are ultimately servants of capital and part of that involves maintaining a blanket of illusions and docility on the population. Trump ultimately failed to do that, so they'd rather have someone more competent.
It's a possibility and I'm sure the rich would prefer DeSantis over Trump, but they also would've preferred Kasich or Jeb Bush in 2016
It would be tough to convince the nation's uncles to vote for someone who doesn't make the libs as mad as Trump does, even though Trump fucked up things (covid was an unprecedented failure until Biden came in and did the exact same thing), the job is 80% culture war bullshit, the white house is a daycare center nowadays
The capital establishment didn’t want him to begin with for basically all the same reasons. DeSantis will only succeed with Trump’s cooperation, the only thing he’s truly good at is humiliating his opponents in the media because he is unfettered by the decorum of a professional politician. As living conditions continue to Brandonize, a lot of those suburban swing voters are going to soften on their distaste for Trump as they remember actually being better off during his presidency.
