Ron DeSantis: Overrated or underrated?

[Suburbia]

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is viewed as a potential Republican presidential contender in 2024, 2028, 2032 or 2036 one day.

Is he overrated or underrated?

[Grassroots]

Neither. I think we need to be closer to 2024 to analyze this further.

Neither. He's governed like somebody that knows he just barely won, & has been running a remarkably tight ship here in Florida, & has definitely done a good job in fixing some of our governmental dysfunction. I actually like some of what I've seen since January re: the environment, marijauna, etc., though I vehemently oppose his reimplementation of a poll tax for the people whose rights we voted to restore last November. And those 2018 campaign ads... they won't age well.

[ElectionsGuy]

Right now, massively overrated and over talked about given he's been in office less than a year.

[Spark]

Neither.

[President Johnson]

Neither.

[beaver2.0]

A bit overrated at this point but I think he still has a decent enough chance of being President some day.

[Pandaguineapig]

Hard to tell right now, though he is likely an odds-on favorite for re-election at this point

[Ilhan Apologist]

Overrated. He has negative charisma.

Overrated. He has negative charisma.

What Republican potential candidates have charisma in your eyes?

Dan Crenshaw is definitely one. But I haven't heard many of them speak besides those two.

lmao if we're talking about overrated, Crenshaw is equal to Nikki Haley.

Nikki Haley isn’t overrated.

Probably a little overrated, but not nearly as overrated as Nikki Haley.

How, exactly, is she overrated?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Probably a little overrated, but not nearly as overrated as Nikki Haley.

How, exactly, is she overrated?

How is she not? She’s a generic pre-Trump era Republican with nothing particularly compelling besides her ethnic background. She’s the next Rubio.

[Skill and Chance]

Underrated.  Natural successor of the Trump movement without the personality problems. 

[R.P. McM]

Probably a little overrated, but not nearly as overrated as Nikki Haley.

Exactly. She would be better off as a staunch defender of Trump, because no one is going to give her credit for waffling. She couldn't even condemn blatantly racist statements, so she's firmly wedded to the Trump-GOP, whether she likes it or not.

But she condemned Trump making fun of Elijah Cummings amirite

(But yeah Nikki Haley is a paper tiger)

Crenshaw's overrated, yes, but he definitely has charisma.

Neither.

It really depends on what's happening in 2024, right?

Is it like 2000/2016?
It will then probably be a close race between someone between the new and old establishment like Cruz or Pence. There's a 90% chance it will be Pence and DeSantis would be up there with other "Trumps without Twitter" contenders for VP.

2008?
It will probably be someone who is as not-Trump as possible while still being sufficiently right of center. Marco Rubio or Nikki Haley. I think Rubio gets it. Maybe he would still be a "gamechanger" like Palin was but he isn't as "provocative" as Palin.


 1996? 1980?
He probably has a shot here whether if he is inevitable or a sacrificial lamb.

He would definitely be in a strong place if Pence doesn't run and the GOP is as powerful or as popular as ever. When did that ever happen, though?

[Mister Mets]

He seems to be talked about less than Pence, Haley, Hawley and Trump's kids, so he might be a bit underrated.
