straight to desantis s weaknesses. this is what mr. s to panel which told me. desantis is dour and doesn t provides particularly well. people who are properly simply sycophantic the trump swear he possesses a certain charming charisma. even those who are eager to vouch for suicide is don t say this about him. he would launch any charm offensive unarmed. how do you suppose he is so successful there and why that wouldn t translate nationally? well it s expectations. every four years a political process the media buildup people like this. scott walker, rick perry, beto o rourke. every four years there are these little bubbles and they just burst as soon as these people are called upon open their mouth, deal with each other in a debate. that clip that we just showed of charlie crist trying to pin down desantis and others in a service four-year term. it s not a very hard question. it s yes or no. i could see why would ve ducked
