Right, and that’s kind of why I think it’s too late for him to do the right thing now. People might forgive him, sure, but he would still have already proven to everyone that he isn’t a leader. He sticks his finger in the wind before he makes a decision, and that’s not what a leader does. And whether it’s his wife, or his campaign consultants, or his donors who he is listening to instead of following his instincts, it just isn’t very presidential.
I was commenting to someone last night, that, despite their obvious failings, both Bill Clinton and Barack Obama showed more leadership qualities than Ron DeSantis currently does. They made very bad presidents, but that wasn’t because they were people pleasers or puppets.
Honestly, I haven’t seen a candidate this bad who was touted to be the second coming in a long time.
It is all in the eyes, with Ron, it is what isn’t in the eyes. No connection, no sly wit or natural humor, or true fervor that he actually believes what he says. He is Pence who is a cold automaton. Except DeSantis has been coached to try and animate a little, hence the bobblehead and facial movements.
In that one picture of him walking to get the powder on his face behind Haley, he looked like a little kid seeking out and presenting to mommy. That was so unreal and certainly not something you would want others to see.
“And whether it’s his wife, or his campaign consultants, or his donors who he is listening to instead of following his instincts”
doing what others tell him IS his instinct.
All I have read of desantis is follower, not leader. take orders and do them, sign papers give to you, say what you are told. I don’t believe he wears the pants in his family. I haven’t seen any info of him having actual ideas of HIS OWN, or doing actual good things for others that HE did all on his own.
Trumps done many things to help others (individuals) over decades.
I don’t think Ron is even true to himself.
