Our next question comes from user DJ Bricks who asks, given that Trump didn't really debate and just insulted the other nominees, do you think that DeSantis could achieve the same result if he follows that playbook? No, Ron DeSantis is a horrible debater. I mean, if Ron DeSantis had to win elections based on debate performance, which he hasn't had to here in the state of Florida, but he never would've become governor in the first place Back in 2018, Andrew Gillum wiped the floor with Ron DeSantis in 2018 and then Charlie Krist, who lost by 1.5 million votes absolutely destroyed DeSantis in their one debate this past year. DeSantis is really, really bad. He has no policies to speak of other than his culture war nonsense. He doesn't know how to address problems. He gets flustered and red faced when you pull him off script, kind of like Marco Rubio and Chris Christie dismantled him back in 2016 in the debates.
So DeSantis is not a good debater. And when we're looking at a potentially very crowded Republican field for 2024, all of those other Republicans up on stage are gonna feel that weakness. And all it takes is for one Chris Christie like figure a big bully. Uh, we already know there's one of those in this race to totally throw DeSantis off his game again. Chris Christie did it to Marco Rubio in 20. Actually, the debates were in 2015 and Rubio really hasn't been the same since. And I think, uh, anybody could do that to Ron DeSantis, you know, he's got a very weak record. Um, even the culture war stuff is not nationally popular, so he doesn't play, I believe, you know, very well beyond the state of Florida. He plays exceptionally well here, but he's not good. He's not good at policy, he's not good at debating. He's not good at talking, he's not good at answering questions. He's a loser who basically failed his way to the top because the Democratic party here in the state of Florida is really bad. If we had a stronger Democratic party and, uh, let's face it, better democratic voters stop putting up weak candidates. We wouldn't even be talking about DeSantis these days cuz he'd be a nobody sitting in the back of the house of representatives than nobody even cared about.
