Yes, Ron DeSantis is good at winning elections and advancing conservatism but when it comes to the art of glad-handed politicking, Trump has him beat.
He needs to step up his game.
It’s more than that. Trump for years was an international businessman...negotiating large deals and living by his wits. He changed the NY skyline - that is no small thing. He is his own man and I always thought it absurd to call him anyone’s puppet - he of all people is his own man.
Meanwhile DeSanatis is being propped up by the same old RINOS - Paul Ryan, the Bushes, the billionaires who want to buy a politician. I had hopes for him for 2028 but they faded. I don’t think he’s his own man. Might as well elect Paul Ryan.
I don’t see anyone but Trump who is able to confront the evil that we see all around us. Although that Vivek guy sounds good - but he’ll never get elected POTUS - at least in 2024.
