Also came out of Rogan with a better opinion of him as a person, but a lesser chance he'll be the 2028 nominee.
He just doesn't grab you by the ear like Trump does. He's a perfect choice for VP though and that makes me think Trump has learned some valuable lessens from all the hurdles they've thrown down before him.
Trump is a once in a generation political talent. No one is like Trump, and if you compare anyone to Trump you will be disappointed.
As the old joke goes, "I don't have to outrun the bear: I just have to outrun you". As things are today he has good odds against the other people he'd be running against in 2028.
We talking about the guy who directly pointed out that society is being run by childless cat ladies?
He's toned himself down not to outshine Trump, and appear more amicable to normies.
He still comes off a bit as a dork who's trying to be personable. Most prominently on display with his (somewhat forced) laugh.
But if they win he'll have 4 years of being in the spotlight to hone that more.
Maybe, but there's some tough competition. Remember Cruz wasn't far behind Trump and that was before his beard.
There's going to be a primary and nice sensible guy may not win over ruthless masterdebator.
A lot will depend on who the dems are going to pick.
I don't think it was Cruz's charisma that made him almost equal Trump, but the mistrust that people had over Trump - the former Democrat - and the doubts about his election chances.
I'm torn. I like DeSantis for his ruthless competence, but I like Vance's anti-neoconism. Neither of them grab you by the ear as you say though.
That said, while we like Trump-like characters, I think a lot of people like the boring kind of politician.
