Without getting into an argument over the merits or lack thereof of Trump, I don’t think Gaetz would be a candidate for Gov. He’s sort of the hair opposite of “Snakehead,” Rick Scott, our current Senator, who was not exactly a warm and fuzzy people person but was an excellent administrator.
BTW, DeSantis was my Rep. when he started out, and he was good from the start.
Gaetz is a brilliant person, if you ever watch a long interview with him. He’s also a true leader, part of which is being an amazing communicator. He just hasn’t gotten a chance to spread his wings because of all the old timers camping on committee chairmanships in Congress.
I don’t think Gaetz could have won Florida before DeSantis transformed it into such a conservative powerhouse, because he can be polarizing even more than DeSantis. We will need someone like him, if not him, to keep the state brightly red going forward.
