Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis, and the future of conservatism in America

To the progress/liberal/Northen set, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is closely related to the Devil. President Biden called him "Trump incarnate." In this episode, I try to consider DeSantis from the Republican perspective, and find a politician who has bet on his own ideas repeatedly and come out ahead. Now he faces former Governor Charlie Crist in the governor's race, the first test of his seeming plans for the Whitehouse in 2024. 
Can DeSantis' contrarian take on coronavirus and the culture wars make him the leader of the modern conservative movement?
