MODERATORS
Desantis is a little bitch. Imagine a governor refusing to meet the president.
Between Trump avoiding the debate and DeSantis avoiding even been seen with Biden after a disaster, the Republicans are really nailing the point home that they are absolute wusses. Political cowards.
He saw what happened to Christie when Obama showed up after Sandy.
Yeah, Republicans turned on Christie for acting like a normal human being instead of a political hack.
So DeSantis, in his pathetic and desperate quest for political power, would much rather run away from anything that has even the slightest possibility of making him look as inferior as he actually is. In other words, he's a cowardly political hack who spends every waking minute of his time calculating his next move in terms of optics, and not in terms of what is right, or true, or good for the people of his state, etc.
Republicans have always been snowflakes
Especially when he needs fed money to fix his armpit of a state.
He's not a people person. Never has been: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cub21ueWNvbnRlbnQuY29tL2QvcGxheWxpc3QvZTczYzk5OGUtNmU2MC00MzJmLTg2MTAtYWUyMTAxNDBjNWIxL2U1ZjkxMjA4LWNjN2UtNDcyNi1hMzEyLWFlMjgwMTQwYWQxMS9kNjRmNzU2ZC02ZDVlLTRmYWUtYjI0Zi1hZTI4MDE0MGFkMzYvcG9kY2FzdC5yc3M/episode/NjZiZDZhMzktZTg1MS00ODY2LThjZTMtYjA2NjAwMzQyY2M5?ep=14
