And just as important is his lack of charisma.
Trump can be funny and even charming at times.
DeSantis has none of that. You pair that with unpopular positions on almost every issue and what you've got is a ship that starts sinking almost as soon as it leaves Florida.
DeSantis failed to realize the one thing that matters - personality and a sense of relatability.
Clinton - south southern boy
Bush- aww shucks ranch guy
Obama - hard working minority who represented the American dream
Biden- the uncle who is smart but sometimes sticks his foot in his mouth but you know is cool
Trump - the dyckhead who failed upwards who has no filter
DeSantis is just a straight up a$$hole. Trump is too, but like you all pointed out, it has an entertainment appeal to his fans (not me of course). Ron is just humorless, cold, aloof and plain unpleasant. There's a reason he can't get many folks on capital hill to support him - he made a conscious effort to tell folks to fukk off when he was there.
