Well, I agree about the general Republican psychopathy, but charm does have a role to play.
Charm and charisma have much to do with wooing voters--especially the emotional MAGA crowd. Trump has ensnared his cultists by identifying with them, voicing his grievances which have become their own and placing himself on their side, at least, in…

Trump has ensnared his cultists by identifying with them, voicing his grievances which have become their own and placing himself on their side, at least, in their mind. Trump's singular talent is a charismatic connection with his worshippers and DeSantis definitely doesn't have enough charm or charisma to fill a thimble. I think he will strike out with with the voters outside of Floridastan.
Yes, you are absolutely correct. And that is because so many of his gang are so much in need of either a father figure, or a mother who was perhaps also not really there... exactly what he had growing up. So they do indeed agree with and gravitate toward him for that reason.
Thank you for your well put comment.
And yes, DeSantis is devoid of any warmth or charm. So I wonder if that could also be a draw for certain dysfunctional thinking and behavior.
I am connecting the emotional state of so many of our citizens from so much manipulation and lack of emotional maturity.
It has been a long time building and may just be coming to a pinnacle of dysfunction. What a time we live in.
I am not so sure but I certainly hope you would be right.
DeSatan does not have the charisma (if you can call it that) and we do not know who will be running yet. It may even be more than 2 parties. And that would not surprise me.

The hard-core MAGAs will accept no substitute. DeSantis may get the nomination, but won't capture the MAGA votes. Party split. Dems get 4 more years.
