DeSantis is history

Ron DeSantis fails on pretty well every count. He is not instantly likeable, he has no charisma, he has some fairly nasty political views, he doesn't make good speeches and he is losing staff every day. Also, everyone prefers Trump. On Saturday DeSantis appeared at a rally in Iowa and all he could hear were cries of "We love Trump". He must have loved that. When he announced he was standing for the Republican nomination I truly believe he felt he had as good a chance as anyone of outrunning Trump and then defeating Biden for the White House. You could see it in his eyes and in his general swagger. He was the new man, the great new hope of the Republican party, the guy who would outshine and outsmart Trump. Trump dismissed him from the start and said he had no chance of matching his popularity. Oh my God, was Trump right! DeSantis has slipped into oblivion, even though he lies second in the Republican race for the White House. If you think DeSantis still has swagger, then have a look at Trump at his next rally. He oozes swagger. And generally speaking, swagger can get you into the White House through the front door. Of course DeSantis will continue to campaign and continue to hope. But basically, unless there is a miracle over the next few months, he has no chance of upstaging Trump, let alone beating him for the nomination.
