DeSantis is on a par with others Conservative in rhetoric but not ready to deliver any kind of combative in the face of the enemy words or actions that Trump delivered.
Trump fell short but DeSantis isn’t going to do any better and I would expect be worse.
Politics as usual means 99 percent of them elected Republicans are phoney baloney plastic bananas who hide behind the “Conservative” word games they play in their speaking.
I like DeSantis but let’s be realistic: He’s a conventional politician in a lot ways and has mainline career credentials. He’s not going to engage the swamp on a visceral level and go to mortal combat with them.
