DeSantis is like Trump with more political savvy and dare I say bigger balls. Also, his decisions seem to look better in hindsight. Hopefully he knows how to not surround himself with swamp monsters.

Let's hope he fires everyone in fireable in the Federal Government on Day 1.

Bigger balls? You must be joking.

He's just younger and a little more feisty I'd say. Trump just had a more calm reaction about things, being in your 70's will do that.

De Santis is also working on a smaller scale, where more people are willing/have to work with him.
I wouldn't say bigger balls, but I would say more tactful.

How did this man almost lose to Andrew Gillum?

In addition to what everyone else said about cheating, Ron DeSantis has greatly improved his public speaking skills (and hopefully his campaigning skills) since 2018.

He also made a couple of unforced errors during the 2018 gubernatorial campaign that were gleefully pounced on by the media. One in particular was his use of the phrase "monkey this up" - actually a common phrase in parts of the South which does NOT have any racial connotations. But the media ran with it and used it as "proof" that he is racist. Read more here if interested: https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/09/ron-desantis-monkey-remark-democrats-play-race-card/

I remember thinking when that happened that he might have lost. Thank God he won!

It's still ridiculous that the election was that close, especially since Gillum was already under investigation for corruption at the time!

Not quite. I can't imagine a man with balls big enough to drag em across both aisles of the political swamp except Trump. DeSantis was still a lifelong politician. He stepped back instead of challenge Marco Rubio for example in 2016.

Trump came in bitch slapped Jeb and humilated every GOP establishment candidate. He had to learn the ropes. Both sides conspired to limit the influence he had but he still managed to do a heck of a lot inside a rigged system. Here's to him going ham in 2024.... if the people don't rise before that.
