Authenticity is key. Once you can fake that you’ve got it made.

I have to admit, for a second I thought it was the Babylon Bee!

Not the Bee...:)

A Castro shirt in Oklahoma?

Jeb 2.0

[dforest]

Man, that was bad and embarrassing. That music and those people looked like WTF? Probably never heard of him. LOL

[rod5591]

so what if DeSantis is “stiff” and unlovable in public events? We should vote for a politician based on policy and track record, not their “movie star” quality. Voting for politician based on “likability” is immature and foolish. But then again, so is the American voter.

[servo1969]

I’ll admit, he seems really awful at this.

[LastDayz]

I’m more curious as to what “authenticity training” actually entails. Is it a class or classes and whom would be the instructor, Jeb?

[McCarthysGhost]

Does DeSantis have Asperger’s or something? He seems very socially stunted.

[Alberta's Child]

And what’s with the freaking trumpets? It sounds like the start of a horse race. LOL.

Another Scott Walker in the making?

[euram]

If you have to be trained to be authentic, you are not authentic, you’re just pretending.

[heylady]

What’s up with the,” wit ya”? Does he feel he had to talk down to people in Oklahoma or because only hicks go to Rodeos?

[Biblebelter]

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

[Pirate Ragnar]

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?

[higgmeister]

‘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.

[NWFree]

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

And he’s not term limited

[higgmeister]

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.

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
