There seem to be a lot of toxic, rabid DeSantis fans out there, and they're not making themselves look good with their gangster antics at places like X (formerly Twitter). And now, those fans are angry again because Governor Kristi Noem (R—South Dakota) has publicly endorsed Donald Trump. Some think she's gunning for the VP slot, but a lot of MAGA Republicans see her as a RINO, a female Mike Pence-in-waiting. I don't know much about her, but her official website is here. Left-leaning Wikipedia says this.
Styx talks about how his main problem with DeSantis is a bizarre inability to think strategically on the national stage. DeSantis has been an excellent governor for Florida, so how is he so unable to transfer that skill set to running a proper presidential campaign? Firing staffers, waffling, not immediately rising to Trump's defense, allowing himself to be pigeonholed as the new Dukakis (who was pilloried for lack of charisma and seeming lack of sincerity; I'm old enough to remember the public reaction to Dukakis's blandly intellectual response to a hypothetical question about his wife being raped)—this is not a good look for the man who would be president. I think he should sit this out and wait for 2024.
