Consider how DeSantis came into prominence so suddenly, out of nowhere. He has essentially the same "profile" as Obama. Ivy league schools, law degree, "perfect" nuclear family, government/political "service," wins an election improbably, has some success, and then all of a sudden is in the national spotlight. He has attacked all the things the establishment doesn't care about (like the culture war issues) while not attacking the one thing they do care about (Ukraine/forever war). I wish I could unsee it.

That’s not true. Tucker Carlson asked a bunch of candidates for their position on Ukraine & DeSantis was heavily criticized by the establishment for his response.

And then he very publicly walked it back. And then went to Israel. He was either brought to heel or he signaled to the establishment that he's on their side.
