It's for the same reason, too: He doesn't come with baggage. We'll see what happens during primaries, I guess. The media will support him over Trump, then they will create baggage for DeSantis.

You already know what they're going to hit DeSantis with.  All the stuff he did to become the darling of Fox News.  Especially the Disney thing, if he doesn't quietly wrap that up in some sort of agreeable fashion.

This is a time of proving for DeSantis.  Unfortunately  you have to be ruthless to rise from the crowd and become a contender for the top spot, at least when you're a Republican.  But each step up from there, from winning primaries to winning the nomination to running in the general election to being in the White House, each step calls for less and less ruthless and more and more conciliatory or inoffensive behavior.  Trump could never turn it off.  I believe DeSantis can.
