That’s not why you’re going to lose, Ron. You’re going to lose because we can all see what a weak and uncharismatic loser you are. This man is the governor of a state, and he’s too weak to answer a 15 year old kid’s questions. What a coward.
He's used to vetted and sanitized interactions. At every event, every speech, photo, journalist, and question is heavily curated.
Of course he's afraid of anything outside the carefully manufactured safe space.
That was a pretty simple question, too. The reason he won't answer, though, is because if he says yes, he pushes away the Maga morons (though they aren't voting for anyone but trump) and if he says no, he pushes away the establishment assholes.
Which shows he's a terrible politician, since a good one can response to a question without giving a yes or no. Isn't that a first year class, Ambiguity 101?
To be fair though, we've all pretty much picked up on that technique by this point, it's obvious when they do it, and usually they get dismissed out of hand for doing it.
Yeah, the headline made me expect some super loaded question or something. But it's a very reasonable question that is obviously of great importance. DeSantis is just that big of a coward.
Trump isn't exactly the strongest, most charismatic person, either. His speeches are rambling messes, and he has notoriously thin skin.
I'm honestly not sure how that compares to DeSantis, but still.
Trump was a much better speaker in 2016 than he is now. Maybe his speeches didn't make much sense, but to get people excited you don't have to.
DeSantis was never a good speaker.
And that voice is annoying as f**k, too.
Hold on, they're rambling incoherent messes.
