UK captains of industry lambast ‘low-wattage’ US presidential hopeful.
One U.K. business figure said DeSantis “looked bored” and “stared at his feet” as he met with titans of British industry in an event co-hosted by Lloyd’s of London — the world’s largest insurance marketplace.
“He had been to five different countries in five days and he definitely looked spent, but his message wasn’t presidential,” they told POLITICO. “He was horrendous.”

He needs to take Rove off his speed dial.
ok, i get it, it’s polutico, but assuming any of this is actually true, i wonder if ron’s putative downcast demeanor is at least partly due to the fact that he probably already knows his nascent primary run is still-born, and he might even be wondering how to gracefully extricate himself from his self-made mess ...
i also don’t doubt he’s worn out by his whirlwind tour of five countries in five days ... anybody would be ... except of course, Donald Trump, who seems to be nearly indefatigable as well as being able to conserve and marshal his energy by living on a gigantic transatlantic jet plane during his travels and having capable and experience advance teams to plan his itinerary in minute and luxurious detail ...
Jeff Sessions was a tiger in the Senate and then turned into a mouse, same with Bill Barr.
There is no assuming. Politico has no truth in it, but Always Trumpers lap it up.
He was still the best President since Reagan.
Does that include groomer Disney?
“His turn”??
Well if that isn’t establishment speak….I don’t know what is! Good grief!
Democrats
I am not a Marxist and I hate Politico because they put the worst light on things or on a person to help the left.
I am also not impressed with DeSantis and do not support his attempt to run for POTUS at this time.
He reminds me of the lifeless robotic Pence. He should finish his newly started second term as Governor and do a great job of it to build his creds for 2028.
If he wanted to be POTUS, he should never have run for a second term.
Regardless, surrender is never an option.
What do I expect from conservatives? The ability to reason. The ability to ignore all the disinformation, all the fury and emotion, and be able to think objectively.
That includes not participating in the daily circular firing-squad with suicidal glee.
And we might still get screwed again. With Trump.With DeSantis, With [insert_politicians_name_here]. All we can do is our best. And right now, based on the continual, stupid infighting, our best is lacking.
Ha. So True.
He is NOT a “one term governor”. 😡
Debating politics kinda needs to start with actual facts.
Karl Rove, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and other RINO’s will resurface soon doing Fundraisers for Meatball.
They know only Trump is guaranteed to lose to the drooling half-wit in the White House
Sad.

If you put any US governor and presidential hopeful in a room with foreign bigwigs over a year before the election, some of those bigwigs are going to feel that way about him and think he doesn't amount to much. But the press doesn't always pick up the story or quote the scornful tycoons. If the media does, it's because it suits their agenda.
Yes, Ron's not a worldly guy, and at this stage he isn't likely to dazzle foreign oligarchs, but is that a plus or a minus?
