I think it depends on visibility which is Trump's whole thing. The dude coasted on media propping him up, negative or positive. The more press he got in right wing circles the more he was the golden child. The more press he got in liberal circles he was "owning the libs."

Trump rankles more feathers and so is primed to get more coverage but he's also shown his own ass enough times that he won't get political backing until he proves it will be worth it to them. The last time Trump got to pretend he was some kind of outside perspective that would shake things up. In a Trump dominated GOP that means Desantis has a chance to be that same thing. I guess it hinges on which one is clever enough to find this out but they're both clinically dumbasses so I figure it'll just be a kind of attrition until the nomination and then the rank and file will fall in line.
