At least most left DeSantis alone so we wouldn't have to pay attention to that fake smile. He is simply incapable of making himself likable.

I concur with most of your assessments. Ramaswamy is alarming. He is oily and he lacks empathy. His denial of climate change when he was a Biology major in college is mind boggling. But most frightening of all is his stance on international relations. Like Trump, he is an autocrat lover. Does he really not know what the results of his policies would be? Unbelievable..
