In the case of the nationally un-tested but rightful flavor of the month from Florida that secretly the Establishment will prefer over Trump -- what is fueling his power rise?

It appears to be (from what I can tell) a combination of saying what (some) people want to hear, and putting on a tough-guy persona (or maybe he really is a tough bully?). That appeals to roughly half the population. Plus he's governor of a state that allows him to enact some of his lunacy, so "he gets stuff done".

Just a guess. Don't live in FL, but the fact that I've heard of him (since I couldn't name 5 state governors if you held a gun to my head...I can name mine reliably), he's definitely on the rise.

Yes, Trump was a symptom of a bigger problem.
