Nicholas Goldberg: Who's more dangerous — Trump or DeSantis?

Who is more dangerous — Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis?

I ask because for more than seven years now, Democrats, myself included, have argued that Trump was especially and uniquely unsuited to serve as president. It wasn't just that we opposed his positions on the issues, but that he was temperamentally unfit for the job. He was reckless, belligerent and dishonest. Unserious, unpredictable, norm-breaking — and willing to undermine American democracy and its institutions, if necessary, to remain in power.

I looked forward to the day when we could get back to fighting about the issues with a Republican with whom we merely disagreed. Sure, we'd have policy differences, but that's part of the normal democratic process.
