Never given to optimism, I did see a ray of strategic hope in last night's results. And I don't mean possibly holding the Senate and even the House (still barely in play). I mean the results in FL and AZ. DeSantis put enough thumbs on the Florida scales to DOUBLE his predicted victory margin. His 20% win effectively rocket-launches his 2024 campaign. Meanwhile, a weakened Trump is about to launch his own. IF Lake goes down in Arizona, that will leave Trump and DeSantis -- two massive egos who know no way of fighting but the knee to the groin and the knife to the jugular -- to play RockemSockem Robots with each other for the next two years. It is hard to imagine the political survivor of that lovefest emerging without severe damage. Neither Hitler nor Mussolini had to go mano-a-mano with their own reflection. So perhaps Ron and Don will do our work for us and politically self-destruct. Perhaps.

DeSantis is not psychologically disabled enough to compete with the pathological narcissist Donald Trump.
