But he is NOT presidential. He is like a local, regional “manager.” That’s where he is great. He would be an excellent Secretary of Transportation. But he is not presidential.

Disagree.

You left out his excellent handling of two hurricane recoveries.

Natural disasters are unexpected emergencies that require nimble response and decisive decision making and action. Look at how Kathleen Blanco handled Katrina in Louisiana; how Gavin Newsom handled wildfires and earthquakes in California, how Hawaii is handling the wildfires there, even how Puerto Rico handled Maria.

Sudden natural disasters are a good test of the executive leadership abilities of people. DeSantis passed this test with flying colors relative to his peers. It's as good a test of Presidential crisis management as anything else out there before taking the job as we can get.

I wouldn't dismiss it so casually.

Florida rebuilds after hurricanes every year. It is expected and nothing new to them. It doesn’t mean you can be president. It like being an all star on the 8th grade basketball team and thinking you can play in the NBA.

There are no unexpected natural disaster emergencies in Florida. The last one was the sixth hurricane and 21st tropical storm just on RDS'S watch. Knowing what to do is a minimum expectation of the governor of Florida.

Everything about RDS has been a rewrite or an exaggeration.

Remember the horrible handling of all of the hurricanes in Florida was governed By Rick Scott. Only surpassed by the way !Jeb handled them for 8 years prior....what were the names of the natural disasters again? Oh...that’s wrong, they did fine? Shocking, what aren’t they both in the white house?
