Let's forget about DeSantis for a moment and just describe a generic political figure in the U.S. who has this kind of background:
1. Ivy League (Yale) undergraduate degree
2. Harvard law school
3. Military officer
4. Decorated combat veteran -- as a JAG lawyer
5. Assistant U.S. Attorney in Dept. of Justice -- while still a Naval Reserve officer
6. Never worked outside of government ... graduated right from the Naval Reserves to a career in politics
Like I said ... let's forget about who this is for a moment. If you had given me the background I've posted above and asked me what I thought of this generic/anonymous person, I'd swear I was looking at a textbook example of a "Deep State" operative who had been groomed for a political career. In fact, the Beltway is filled with buckets full of @ssholes who bring the same background to the table. (Another Freeper astutely pointed out that Pete Butt-Fudge has a remarkably similar career path.)
If DeSantis runs and he is nominated, I'll vote for him. But I will never trust the guy.
