Which is honestly part of the reason I favor DeSantis, who has seemed much better at building out his war team with people who will actually go to bat for him (on top of him for all intents and purposes being "Trump with a Filter").
DeSantis would have the same problem as Trump if he ever became President, which is that his picks would need to be confirmed by the Senate. Trump was maybe in a worse position due to the fact that he didn’t know the political scene well, but I don’t see how DeSantis gets out of the trap.
No, Trump's problem was he came from industry where he could hire anybody, give them a chance, and if they turned out to be idiots then fire them on the spot.
In politics you have to vet people years before they even get to your desk because they can't be fired. You need a network of trusted people to do that, and you need to know their embarrassing or compromising information so that nobody else can use them against you.
Trump could have been successful if he had a trusted VP, but Pence was either a snake or Trump didn't trust him.
