Trump wasn’t the only thing missing last night; so was the war on wokeness! What does that mean for DeSantis and his chances?
Wokeness was absent because the moderators didn’t think it was a big concern for most GOP voters. They were probably right. But without wokeness, DeSantis is a man without a brand–an angry Demosthenes crying in the wilderness. He has no special foreign policy experience, and no great interest in reshaping the economy for the benefit of reactionary workers, so there is no obvious reason to prefer him to, say, Mike Pence. He is a lost soul.
Poor little guy.
