He may not be forced but he will have to. Fox News does not control all of media
Not when he tries to go national. Things that work in fucked up Florida won’t fly on the national stage. >

I’ll never forget when Rick Perry was running for president and the media blew their load he would be the nominee, then he went to his first debate and everyone was like this guys fucking stupid. >

I can definitely see that happening with DeSantis. He can do the things he does in Florida because: 1) the Florida constitution is fucking weak (like waayy weaker than the US Constitution) and 2) a lot of Floridians approve. All of that will crumble when there’s a debate between him and Trump, let alone adding other Republicans to the mix. The guy has the fortitude of wet tissue paper. >

Yes. He has captive right wing media to substitute for press. He never has to address the rest of the press. >

If or when he runs for POTUS, that will change. His safe little bubble has limits in a national election. >

Yep and he's as dry as a popcorn fart.  When he actually doesn't have right wing cheerleaders bootlicking for him he's going to get torn apart >

Totally agree. This guy has isn’t well spoken and has zero charisma. I’m looking forward to watching him get his ass handed to him. >

I honestly have no idea how so many devices and left leaning independents are acting like DeSantis of all people is this unbeatable force of right wing politics.
Like, he's got a record, a bad one, and he's got the personality of soggy noodles >

Yes he can avoid the press, that's his primary strategy.  Cause once he opens his mouth people can't help but notice the dimness. Not only is he not a bright bulb, his personality is akin to wet cardboard. >

Well even Trump could mess that up. Hannity asked Trump the softest of softball questions one can ask an incumbent candidate: what are your plans for your next term?
Trump bungled answ4ring that BASIC question so badly that Hannity got blamed for not leading Trump more to the answer he wanted.
DeSantis probably won't faceplant that badly but I think he'd have less latitude than Trump.  He's apparantly as charming as [checks that old Mr Grinch song] an eel. >


Well even Trump could mess that up. 

Trump had decades of learning how to read a room and be a great salesman.  He is a shitty human being and was a terrible president, but don't discount the fact that he could sell ice to Eskimos.  
DeSantis has none of Trump's skill
