We don't know exactly where self-awareness comes from, so we're just going to assume it's the brain. Whatever part, or sub-part, of the body it is, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) clearly doesn't have it.
We write that because the Governor was on the Christian Broadcast Network, and was asked if he had any regrets about his campaign, which is clearly on life support. DeSantis had just one:
I mean, I would say if I could have one thing change, I wish Trump hadn't been indicted on any of this stuff. I mean, honestly, I, I think that, you know, from Alvin Bragg on, I've criticized the cases. I think, you know, someone like a Bragg would not have brought that case if it was anyone other than Donald Trump. And so, you know, someone like that's distorting justice, which is bad. But I also think it distorted the primary. And I think it's it's been, it's been those have kind of been the main issues that have happened.
First of all, how can a candidate for president be so clumsy with extemporaneous speaking? Second, the ONLY thing that went wrong with DeSantis' campaign is that one of the OTHER candidates got indicted (four times)? But for that, DeSantis would be sitting on top of the world right now? Seriously? Does even DeSantis believe the things he says?
The general presumption these days, as Donald Trump gets closer to effectively locking down the nomination, is that DeSantis (and Nikki Haley) are running for 2028. But if DeSantis can't self-reflect and course-correct, then he's not going to do any better in 4 years than he's doing now. In fact, he'll probably do worse, since now all his weaknesses are well known. And boy howdy, he does not seem like a person capable of ANY self-reflection. (Z)
