“ Close. Stinky emissions.”

That’s politics.
They all smell and all want power .

Anybody in his right mind with any good reputation at all would steer clear of seeking public office. It is to the point that wanting it at all is disqualifying. What a conundrum.

Alberta’s Child makes four very valid points, especially the last one and first one.

The RAW ambition of a professional politician without any discernible people skills is hard to watch.

Lots of us wear that style shirt. Columbia. Royal Robbins. Cabelas.

It's very dorky, but it hides my Sig P239 OWB quite effectively. And when I'm feeling especially vulnerable, my Sig P226.

“We should vote for a politician based on policy and track record, not their “movie star” quality.”

Maybe for a Congressman but a President needs to be a leader of men.

They show DeSantis laughing with his mouth open, they show him sweating, they comment on his shirt, they call him stiff.......and Reagan was stupid, remember? So transparent. Oh - what about his policies?

Yeah, he is only ahead by 7 pts. You are being brainwashed.

‘He just needs to chill out a bit and be less stiff,’ one source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said. ‘He always looks awkward and needs to get out and meet more people.’

Give him an equal dose of downers and speed, then see what happens.   In desperation you can try speedballs but that's a little drastic.

If this is the best the hit squad has he must be pretty good.

And he’s not term limited

His attempt to speak in what he was told is the local vernacular is reminiscent of Hillary.   As my Grandma from Oklahoma would have said, too green to burn.

I have 4, I think Castro Brown was a poor color choice.

the USA we all grew up with since the ‘50’s and 6’60’s is long gone.

the politics we grew up with at that time...is likewise long gone

we presently live in a UniParty dictatorship of the North American Oligarchy

DeSantis is a useful candidate to provide a thin veneer of electoral politics as of old. So is almost any other heritage candidate on stage. About 17 of them as I recall from the GOP primaries of 2016..

Another Trump Administration is about the only way into a future representative government. Any other will be “politics as it is” ...if the rest of the world doesn’t all decide to nuke us

Are we now limiting ourselves to billionaire outsiders exclusively?

At least they don't have to steal for a living, doesn't mean they won't just that they don't have to.

I doubt there are more than a couple in congress that don't steal otherwise why would Mitch and Kevin still be in a leadership position?

100%. People who think we need a George Washington to save us don’t realize GW couldn’t get elected today, and wouldn’t even want to try.

I have one in that color. I don’t think it’s “Castro” brown. It’s just..brown.

Give the guy some slack.  He wears cowboy boots all the time -- even when he visited Trump at the White House.

DeSantis is 5 foot 9 inches tall -- short when you consider other politicians.  But he gains maybe a couple inches of height from those cowboy boots.  Smart thinking, Ronny.

What's that famous Texas proverb?  With cowboy boots and hat, who needs cattle to look the part.

Something like that.
