Has anyone seen the gif of DeSantis making a statement and then trying to smile?

It's going to haunt my nightmares.

I've read he hired this guy to help him with his body language.

I gave it the good ol' college try for about 15 minutes. I already take a low-dose of BP meds, so I thought it best not to stress my system any more.

I was thoroughly disgusted with the WWE wrestling match-esque audience whooping and hollering. Vivek was spouting insane things. Hey Pence, we know you want a theocracy. Desantis, I wish you would just come right out and say that you hate everyone except a straight white Christian man. Christie, you attached your star to The Big T, regardless of the mad shit you talk about him now. Haley was the ONLY one who sounded even remotely intelligent...but we all know she's toast. WhoTF were any of those other people on the stage (i.e. I know who they are, but the phrase that keeps coming to mind is Mr. Irrelevant).

My takeaway question is.........why are they even having these debates? Why are any of these people wasting time and money and what little brain cells they have left running for president? Big T is going to be the damn nominee. Full stop. We're going to have 2020 all over again and it's about time everybody lets their foot off the gas of this R farce.

Like above, why do they even bother? They must be angling for cabinet picks.

And while Christie is good in the moment for his attacks I've not forgotten his about face to kiss ass when he thought it personally prudent. He's really come across as a pick me

Seems to like DeSantis more but also much more comments and positive things on Nikki Haley.
