Ron DeSantis' positions were always out of step with the general populace of the U.S.

Like Taking on the Disney Company that brings likely more tourists and money into Florida than any other single Company in Florida. What it turns out to be more than anything else is an Anti-Business Stance.

Like Taking books (including the Dictionaries) out of Schools which is as extreme as the Nazi Book Burning of the 1930s and 1940s.

Part of what makes America work and always has is the freedom to read or think almost anything. Without this freedom we just become another dictatorship without freedom of expression and freedom of Thought.

So, in all these ways and more DeSantis who might be elected in Florida wasn't going to make it on the National Stage because the rest of the Country is NOT the South.

Also, at least 1/2 of the states are less into organized religion than the South is generally speaking and DeSantis like Trump has a lot of support from the Evangelicals who believe the Bible is the Word of God and not just the word of men writing their ideas a couple of thousand years ago.

People can believe whatever they want to. This is what is great about America that you can believe pretty much whatever you want to as long as you aren't hurting anyone with your beliefs. 

DeSantis' biggest problem always is that he was never a Mainstream politician which is what you have to be to get elected President. Otherwise it is just being unrealistic to think the way he does. He proved just how unrealistic he actually is the way he ran his campaign so far.

His positions might marginally work in Florida but won't fly in the rest of the other 49 states.
