I understand where you are coming from, but disagree with your take as to the character of the man. He has been forthright, no question about that. But is that always a positive good? Proverbs would be the best measuring tool we could use outside our own fallible instincts.

2:6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
8 for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.
9 Then you will understand what is right and just
and fair—every good path.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11 Discretion will protect you,
and understanding will guard you.


And simply based on how they are conducting their campaigns, one hurling silly ad-hominems and another pledging not to do so is but one indication that one of these candidates possess discretion.

I believe there'd be much more in Proverbs which could be used to judge character.

I haven't even mentioned the past histories of the two and fidelity in family affairs. There are distinctions there which could be explored.

You have no idea what DeSantis’ private life is like.

And men can divorce, and still be men of good character.

Thanks for the conversation.
