DeSantis '24

A homeless-looking black guy knocked on my apartment door this past weekend. After looking through the key-hole, I almost didn't open up---not because he was black, but because he looked pretty decrepit in general (black or white, male or female, this person looked rough). But I could see that he was wearing a "DeSantis '24" T-shirt, so I was politically curious.

Sure enough, he really was a DeSantis employee, there to garner my very-early opinion re the 2024 election. I told him I was 100% voting for Trump, but that I liked DeSantis and he was my 2nd choice. The pollster very pleasantly commented, while entering data into his device, that it might end up a Trump-DeSantis ticket... (Neither of us mentioned sarcastically that Trump might be in jail!)

While I am, indeed, 100% for Trump in 2024, I was also impressed by DeSantis's "get-out-the-vote" effort in Texas---a whopping 10 months before the Texas Republican primary in May of 2024! I've recently read that DeSantis is not doing THAT well financially, so it was kind of odd to have a campaign person come to my door this early in the game...
