As dumb as this might sound, DeSantis' height also could play a factor too. The shortest president in the past 100 years was Jimmy Carter, and DeSantis is about 2 1/2 - 3" shorter than him.

This level of political analysis is even too shallow for TLR.


Political analysts and sociologists have been discussing the dramatic impact of presidential height for decades. It has a huge impact, not just in politics but with business executives and other power positions.

Remember ' Adjustment Bureau ' and all of the ties and socks and shyt had to match before he spoke? That wasn't made up.

And why no presidential candidate grows a beard. It gives off aggressiveness. There's a reason why DeSantis wears platform boots. It's image consultants. It's stupid but true

Some interesting numbers w/ all of the normal caveats about polling nowadays

Trump is the first choice of 53% Republican and Republican-leaning voters in the primary, roughly doubling DeSantis’ 26%. But the survey also finds that wide swaths of Republican-aligned voters are willing to consider either of the two, as well as several other candidates. More than 8 in 10 either support or say they’re open to considering Trump (84%) and DeSantis (85%), and smaller majorities say they support or would consider former UN ambassador Nikki Haley (61%), Scott (60%) and former Vice President Mike Pence (54%).


Trump’s supporters aren’t necessarily locked into backing him: Among those who call Trump their first choice in the primary, 87% also say they’d consider supporting DeSantis, 55% that they’d consider Scott, 51% that they’d consider Haley and 50% that they’d consider radio host Larry Elder. And likewise, among those who don’t call Trump their first choice, two-thirds (66%) still say they’d consider supporting him. Just 16% of all GOP-aligned voters say they wouldn’t back the former president under any circumstances.

OP-aligned voters who describe themselves as moderates or liberals are 15 percentage points less likely than conservatives to say they’re satisfied with the GOP field. They’re also relatively likely to have ruled out the two current leading contenders, with 31% of this group saying they wouldn’t consider supporting DeSantis and 26% that they wouldn’t support Trump. By contrast, just 7% of conservatives say they wouldn’t back DeSantis, and just 11% that they wouldn’t support Trump.

In a separate question, GOP-aligned voters were asked to pick up to three candidates they weren’t supporting but would like to hear more about. Scott (29%), DeSantis (28%), Haley (24%) and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy (24%) topped that list.
