    DeSantis is a framing device. He’s the $299/month super-hyper unlimited data cellular plan, or the full leather and burlwood interior on a Mitsubishi Mirage.

    Nobody is expected to actually select him. His purpose is to make Mike Pence look balanced and in a constrcutive relationship with his sexuality by comparison.

    And, TBH, I can see Pence as the last man standing if the Trump campaign disintegrates (i.e. via conviction) I’m sure pre-2016 Republican Machine people desperatrly want someone far less of a loose cannon, he has name recognition, and they might be able to rehab his image as “he did try to salvage the Republic” if they start seeking a post-Trump message.
