I don’t hate DeSantis. I just don’t like him, I think he has an unfortunate side to his nature and don’t think he’d do well as president.

I didn’t want Cruz as president, either; but I do think he would be good on the Court.

DeSantis ran a bad campaign. Doesn’t mean he’d be a bad POTUS. W lost his debates to Gore an won anyway.

Clarence Thomas was appointed in ‘91 and it led to the Year of The Woman in ‘92. There is no ‘good’ time to appoint someone hoping the voters will forget. Women certainly don’t.

**Vance’s evident skills are political. Cruz’ are legal.**
You don’t need to be a scholar. Don’t even need to be a lawyer I do believe.

DeSantis is my governor. He has been great for Florida, but that does not mean he’d be a great POTUS. IMO, he doesn’t have the chops to take the blows that would come his way AND, Florida is not the country. People forget DeSantis barely squeaked by in his first gov campaign beating a relatively unknown Mayor of Tallahassee (it took Trump to get him over the finish line). Yes, he dominated in his second campaign, but largely benefitted from an electoral tsunami of changing voter demographics in FL, COVID fatigue, Trumpism and a weak (very) weak Democrat candidate (former Republican governor Charlie “the hug” Crist. It was a gimme. SOCTUS? Yes. POTUS? I don’t think so.
