You’re probably right, but it still left the impression that he was his own man. Now, it looks like he’s more dependent on support without the ability to garner support on his own and it’s showing.
There is a saying that, when a person becomes President that he will either grow in office or shrink. DeSantis is shrinking as he approaches the thrown. I can see that he’s not ready for it. He really should have sought support of becoming VP by backing somebody else, because he’s not ready himself.
I agree. I think someone or some people filled his head with a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, and he bought it hook, line and sinker. He should have just accepted the 2nd term the voters gave him, then ran in 2028. He would have been far more respected for it. By running now, he jumped the gun, and I think he's blown his chances for any future Presidential run.
