Oh, but the lawyer who is now a governor is good-looing and has nice manners, unlike that rough and battle-worn Trump. As shallow as that sounds, I had that argued a few months ago by a friend of nearly half a century who is a staunch conservative and saw DeSantis as the best chance to beat Biden and the Left. I have not talked to him since DeSantis’s collapse, which I predicted, to his utter derision at the time.
That's pretty sad, that someone who claims to be a Conservative would stoop that low to explain why someone should vote for a candidate. This isn't 1960, when plenty of people voted for John F. Kennedy because he was supposed to be good looking, despite his being a Catholic. I remember that his religion was one of the issues when he ran. People wondered if he'd allow his religion to interfere with his making decisions. I also think people voted for him because Jackie was part of the package. I never thought JFK was handsome. I was only 13 when he was elected.
