“And so if you put those two things together, the risk is that DeSantis decays. Things emerge, people attack him because he's the clear front runner, and the opportunity, just like it was for Trump in 16, or for Clinton, or for George Bush, Not Herbert Walker, but you know, W is to emerge from the back. And so if I think about a moderate person who can emerge from the back, who can consolidate the ranks, they should probably be from the South. They will have a lot of these purple compromises that Sachs mentioned in their policy program. And they will have a history of winning and a history of normalcy. And so I think that of all of the places where you could ever elect a woman as president of the United States, I think it will come from the Republicans before it comes from the Democrats.”
