again, I dont think he is talking characteristics. He is talking terms.
DeSantis would be a great President but you have a point about pugilism. That’s the basic problem Trump had during his term in office...he expected people to do their job.
Instead we had military commanders openly bragging about how they misinformed Trump on troop levels in Syria and Birx now admitting she and Fauci simply made up the science on closures, masking and social distancing.
Nobody working for the government should get automatic tenure, we don’t in the private sector.
If it is DeSantis in 2024 or 2028 he needs to spend time with Trump to learn about the problems with the civil service (and some in the military) undermining elected officials.
I would argue that Trump is more Reagan than Nixon.
In terms of how much sheer hatred the Dims have for Trump, Trump is more Nixon than Reagan. The Dims hated Nixon ever since Nixon brought down Alger Hiss for perjury (too bad the statute of limitations had expired for treason) and that hatred exploded when Nixon ran for office and won. The Dims didn't hate the Republican presidents after Nixon (Ford, Reagan, or the Bushes) with the passion they hated Nixon ... until Trump.
“Which means DeSantis needs more experience and toughening up!”
You had best re-read DeSantis biography again. He is more qualified to be president than Trump was when he came into office.
That being said, I don’t think DeSantis will run this time and I will support Trump.
Yup. For obvious reasons, DeSantis should be Trump’s Apprentice for four years, then watch out.
