I think if DeSantis kissed the ring and didn't enter the primary, he'd be VP right now and in a far better position than Vance.

Say what you will about Trump but he has charisma. Seriously watch Musk speak at some of these rallies. It's really difficult to watch.

Musk speaking is painful and cringe to watch. It's like an incel that just discovered the internet was given a platform.

And Trump definitely has charisma. DeSantis has zero and his mistake was not attacking Trump hard enough. You're not going to convince anyone to vote for you by telling everyone how great of a job your opponent did. The only thing DeSantis used to try to separate himself from Trump was covid, which Trump supporters don't care about.

No chance for DeSantis to be chosen as VP either. Trump wasn't going to choose anyone that likes the spotlight and would take attention away from him. I think DeSantis is done as a politician outside of Florida. He was exposed.
