DeSantis, more than anyone, is probably hoping more than anyone that Trump goes to jail. The only way he wins the nomination is if Trump isn’t running against him. And if he can run in the general on, “I will pardon Trump day one,” he’ll probably win.

DeSantis loses if he goes head to head with Trump, and it won’t be close.
