DeSantis has been called "Trump with a brain" by some of his supporters, but in a world of retail politics that begins with the Republican primary, some former GOP insiders believe the Florida governor will lack the people skills to succeed. “He was standoffish in general,” said former Virginia GOP Rep. Barbara Comstock when asked about DeSantis. “A strange no-eye-contact oddball,” said former GOP strategist Rick Wilson, writing for Resolute Square. “I’d rather have teeth pulled without anesthetic than be on a boat with Ron DeSantis,” says former GOP lobbyist Mac Stipanovich, who left the party over disgust over Trump.
