2. I honestly don't think DeSantis has as much a chance as people make him out to be.

TFG is viewed as more moderate because he would posit himself on the left on some issues and then right on some. And a lot of times, he played both sides. Because he had no real record, people believed his BS about his "moderate" views.

That's not how it works for DeSantis. He has many many horrible right wings bills from Florida we can point to and it will drives the moderates away. At least, this is how I (I think I am moderate) view him and there is not a chance I would vote for DeSantis, whereas I have thought about voting for some "moderate republicans" before (not TFG because he is a fake). And frankly, not ever again with this crazy cult republican party.
