I agree with your characterization of him.
He comes across as whiny, edgy and desperate to be liked IMO. He’s got a very long way to go in the political maturation process but not sure his ego will allow him to make the necessary personality adjustments to be successful.
DeSantis suffers from too much time in the legal and political world and not enough exposure the private sector. JMHO
screw the “political maturation process”, hiding who you really are and figuring out how to say what you THINK people want to hear, whether you really believe those things yourself ... we’re sick and tired of politicians who feel it’s necessary to play games because they would be undetectable if people REALLY knew what their true selves and true believes really are ...
