Yeah, that argument makes sense.
Only thing, what if Trump wins. Then 4 years later it will be so much tougher to beat the democrat.

Ron DeSantis is a catholic, and even less politically acceptable, an Italian-American catholic and even though it is totally insane, Trump is seen as being very much in line and accepted as part of the ultra-popular white-bread prosperity branch of evangelical christianity. Republicans will back DeSantis over a democrat, but against an evangelically-backed republican? Ida know...could be a tough road to hoe.
Were these evangelicals Trump backers from the start, or just after he won the nomination...? Or ah, whatever. Evangelicals are too weird for me to understand really. The man is a serial adulterer, divorced, betrayed his pregnant wife with a pornstar, wonders why he should ask God for forgiveness if he never did anything wrong, is apparently not religious in any aspect of his being, can't recitate Bible verses, holds Bibles upside down, makes a mockery out of religion really. Why would evangelicals back him over any other republican... I don't get it.
