The Ron DeSantis Problem

Peggy Noonan: “Mr. DeSantis is reported to be announcing his presidential run later this spring. I got an interesting note about him the other day from the veteran political operative Alex Castellanos. He said the problem for Mr. DeSantis is not that he’s unlikable: ‘The problem for Ron is worse. It’s that he does not like us.’ When voters see a political figure likes them, they start to trust him, because they know ‘he will do a lot to preserve their affection.'”
