I’m sure DeSantis will do fine. He is a technocrat, a legislator, he is focused on solutions, not talk. We might not like the compromises, but if he can get deals, like building the wall, that would be fine.
Being a technocrat and a legislator is a different skillset than what’s required. Does DeSantis focus on solutions rather than talk? Don’t know. For all I know, he might. But in Washington, 90% of the battle is negotiation. I see no evidence that he’s particularly gifted in that area.
Drafting legislation that would balance the budget is relatively easy. Building consensus in Congress to pass such legislation is the hard part.
