They are both doing the same thing, but you have a different standard for one over the other. DeSantis may be overconscious of his height and Trump is overconscious about his hairline and they both take steps to hide their inadequacies from the public.

It would be a point of leadership for both to state that they have an inadequacy, but they aren’t going to take steps to hid it.

It’s an issue only for those that want it to be an issue. Personal vanity stuff is not an issue for me. Trump can strategically over comb his hair and DeSantis can wear heels.

As long as there are no other problems.

"However, his vanity is not an issue."

But his arrogance is.

INSECURITY on the world stage affects POLICY.

Trying to project insecurity on a politician based on speculation about shoe lifts is not for me. If DeSantis gets the nomination, he gets my vote in the general, based on his FL record - I don't care about what's in his shoes. If Trump gets the nomination, he gets my vote in the general, based on his record as POTUS - I don't care what's in his shoes, either.

"DeSantis’s defenders offer many explanations for that change. And some of them seem reasonable."

None of them have satisfactorily explained why he changed the "Resign-to-Run" law like Charlie Crist did because he thought he was going to be McLame's VP choice. Rick Scott changed the law back to the way it was, then DeSantis comes along, and reverses it again. People seem to be okay with a Governor using their majority in the State Legislature to benefit themselves politically and monetarily. It reeks of abuse of power.

I don’t like the fact that went into running as POS so unprepared and unknowledgeable. He bought hook, line and sinker, the idea that he could be President just because he was a good Governor.

He really should have done a better job of evaluating his chances on this point, imo. Yes, arrogance and a lack of introspection.

> It reeks of abuse of power. <

That’s the bottom line. And that’s where DeSantis lost me.

I am also not impressed by his continued campaigning. This is not a close GOP primary race. Like it or not, Trump has the nomination. Period. It’s over.

So why are DeSantis, Christie, etc. still in the race? They are all hoping for something really bad to happen to Trump. That’s ghoulish behavior. I can think of no better way to describe it.

"They are both doing the same thing, but you have a different standard for one over the other."

B.S. Trump does nothing to pretend his hair isn't thinning. Even with his combover, it's still very apparent that his hair has thinned out, and he knows it. He could use a hat, wig or toupee to cover it up, and try to convince people that he's got a full head of hair, but he doesn't. Deliberately putting lifts in your shoes to make yourself appear to be taller than you actually are is the act of a vain person. DeSantis hides his travel and meeting records from the public. Hides his actual height by wearing lifts that detract from his appearance. What else is he hiding?

You're right on the money with that comment.

Should we consider Pres. Trump’s veneers a reason to not vote for him? After all, he did lie about locking Hillary up (they’re “good people” after all) and his pro-life veneer is a little thin.

LOL...

the desperate desantis supporters are all saying so what to desantis wearing lifts...

The point isn’t desantimonious wearing lifts.

The point is desantis lies about it.

And almost all ignore that if desantis deliberately lies about wearing lifts, he will lie about other things.

And the few that responds so what, he lied, they seem to think they can figure out when he is lying...

So the obvious question then is, how would you ever know he’s lying again?

Fortunately, we have a president in office now who never lies. I know this to be true because he said so and he never lies.

The point is, what else will he lie about?

Haven't we had about enough of fakes and pretenders?

And spare us the "BUT TRUMP!"
