He is not. He is great in the roles of chief executive and policy leader, but his skills at retail politics, interviews and PR leave a ton to be desired. He is socially awkward and devoid of charisma. I still believe he has a chance to pull it off, and he would be by far my preferred president over Trump, Biden, Harris or all the other shmucks from the GOP primary field. But anyone who thinks DeSantis would be an electoral juggernaut, or a sure thing in the general against Biden, are delusional. DeSantis has the potential to be a consistent 52% guy while Trump is a consistent 47% guy, and it makes all the difference in the world, but that's just about the ceiling DeSantis would have as a national candidate. He will never become the next Reagan or win a general election by 8+ percent or anything like that.

His balls are in his wife pants, right ?

What a trainwreck this was

lacks the charisma of trump, regardless of what you think of his politics or him personally

charisma is very valuable

He's also been insanely corrupt in getting his agenda pushed in Florida.

On the national stage where he can't bully elected officials out of their seats he would be completely impotent.

So I guess that's another way he's similar to Trump

yeah because thats the US Republican party....you cant even strawman properly lmao

Where did I claim that exactly?

Why do people value charisma so much? To make anything run correctly the ability to do the job and leadership trumps everything. Joe Biden’s entire plea to the American people was the media will shut up about things. Oh, sorry, a “return to normalcy”. Well he got that and things are going down the crap hole. Here we have a man who will provide results without being a media superstar.

charisma and leadership arent the same, but they're overlapping venn diagrams with a LOT of commonality.
