To watch because he s going he s gone far right when he knows that most presidents come to the center. this is the strategy here. he s going other to the right to see what he can pull off from maga universe this abortion ban, this fight with disney. he doesn t think it s going to hurt him because he knows we have short attention span. so he s acting strong. he s trump-like. i didn t like trump but i like this. that s interesting. it is kind of the polar opposite of the sunny, positive future. that s pretty dark. i do want to point out, nikki haley today basically kind of put out this memo saying desantis is trump but without the charisma, without the personality skills. i mean, how does that play? look, if you re nikki haley and a lot of people who are in this now burgeoning field who see ron desantis in front of them and then donald trump much further out, they have to find a way to try to gain ground. she can t get to trump until she can get to desantis. and i think that you
Desantis is trump, but without the charisma, without the personality skills. how does that play? if you are nikki haley, and a lot of people in the snow burgeoning field to see ron desantis in front of them, and donald trump much further out, they have to find a way to try to gain ground. she can t get to trump until she can get to desantis. i think you are going to see a lot of that from people who are polling at a lower number. what i am struck by, the visuals in that video, more than really the message, which i m not surprised by, i don t understand why we re seeing his back going to a stage. that is the only thing i was confused by. it s incredibly dark, and you re right, he doesn t have the charisma like trump, she s right, that he doesn t have the charisma of donald trump. i do believe that presidential campaigns are about creating a social and political movement, which i don t think ron desantis can do. what he has done is try to say that, when you get chaos from donald trum
Standing up to the mob and the intimidation tactics deserves to be praised and noted every time we talk about it. no doubt. regarding the political ramifications of him running in 2024, a few things can be true. number one, he s earned the right to make the case he s making. i also watched the speech. he checked every single box on policy that any republican or conservative would want you to check today. number two, he did get asked a question about trump, and whether there is a division. he said he didn t think they had a division on policy, but they had a division on focus. he used the word focus and talked repeatedly about the need for republicans to look to the future. i think several republican candidates are going to make that case. so the question is, which of them is going to have the personality skills, the candidate skills to make that case stick against donald trump. i think sara has an interesting point about whether republican voters think mike pence is going to be tha
With us when how it was gorbachev and reagan one of the things that reagan did was not wear an overcoat at the first meeting where gorbachev was buttoned up and trying to stay warm. a very subtle signal of trying to assert some power. that s what i mean about the personality profile, the use of personality skills. one thing about president trump when he is one-on-one with individuals they have a different take away than when they see the figure of donald trump who has been on television for many years and been in political life for two years since he became a candidate. so, will their assessments of each other be somehow different? we also know there is a backdrop of the protests. i m here along the river. a green peace protest unfolding behind us with many, many boats and police boats and military vessels, as well. we, of course, have seen all the protests in the streets that are very separate from where the leaders are interacting. but it is part of the g-20 and
