Well Elon Musk is supporting DeSantis if that means anything.

President ;-)...intelligence is definitely a quality to be valued, but meaningless without "Wisdom".

DeSantis has shown a complete lack of wisdom in dealing with his first major challenge as Governor of Florida...i.e. COVID-19...he did all the WRONG things when it came to following well established medical advice...then exacerbated the situation by damaging one of Florida's major industries...Cruise Lines...by impeding their ability to attract customers (e.g. Vaccine and Mask Mandates)...then he picks a nut case of a doctor to be Florida's Surgeon General...all to curry MAGA votes...politically expedient, but tragically harmful...not "Wise". btw, that kind of response to COVID is largely what did in Trump in 2020...by 7 million votes...why would a wise politician follow the same path?

Then there's his "Unforced Error" in attacking the LGBTQ community...and all the backlash he got from that...didn't add a single voter, and again damaged one of Florida's major income producers (Disney)...his list of "Un-Wise" decisions keeps growing...should be interesting to hear how he spins them to a national audience that is comfortable with Same-Sex Marriages.

DeSantis has the necessary intelligence...but can he use it?...hasn't done so, thus far.

and lashes out when confronted.
