Yes you have two points.
1. Migration to Florida has been the trend for years
2. DeSantis uniquely slaughtered his opponent due to recent migration trends, not his governance
I tend to think those two things contradict each other but this is the part where you explain I'm simply not smart enough to understand
I said Desantis won by his margins for multiple reasons:
1 - Hes an awesome governor
2 - FL voting registration has been moving towards Reublican for a long time
3 - Pandemic had more localized migration from blue state republicans
4 - The Democrats are so bad normal people in the middle decided to switch
The sturg of a year ago would agree with me that without the cheating Trump wins in 2020 by a lanslide margin and there isn't this absurd narrative that Desantis can win elections and Trump can't.

The sturg of today also believes without cheating trump would have won in 2020
Trump also increased his vote count in FLorida from 16--> 20 by 23%.
So yes Sturg - Despite you not wanting to admit the obvious the RED STATE of Florida was well in the bag.

Increase vote count absolutely matters because of the type of voters that were turning towards MAGA and they followed suit in even bigger droves for Desantis (Because Desantis is awesome and the left got crazier and crazier).
The idea that there would be a 50/50 split with hispanics was a laughing matter just 5 years ago.

The math is the math
You can explain to me that that trend would have happened with or without DeSantis. And I will simply tell you that I disagree. He has turned voters previously on the sidelines or with the Dems to the R side much more effectively than trump has
Ron DeSanctimonius is among Trump’s weakest word smithing work. Disappointed.

Trying to emulate trump in his speech and mannerisms doesn’t make him trump either.

What really going to bug the desantis people is that lake long term has a better chance at the presidency than Desantis if he doesn’t win nomination this year.

Lol
Laugh now. Forget you ever had this position in a couple of years is your destiny.

It is so bizarre to me how the trump cult has just turned on DeSantis for no other reason than he is a threat to trump.
He's done nothing but outperform since trump endorsed him. Trumpers should see him as nothing but a success story. Instead, we get deranged delusions..
But let's take a look at your premise.
DeSantis INCREASED GOP vote share by 20% from the 2018 governor election to 2022
Lake DECREASED GOP vote share by 10% from the 2018 governor election to 2022. Turning a reliably red state to blue
Should I look at results on the field or something else in this case (yes I'm well aware you're gonna say she was cheated so the results don't count)
