this sentence no verb


Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:

Ron DeSantis and Rick Perry are the most bizarrely successful politicians who can win elections in huge states, raise millions of dollars, and convince other people that they should vote for them/not run against them, but apparently completely melt down as soon as they leave their state.

It's because there's no local media anywhere anymore, so the bar is subterranean for state level politicians. They never actually face a grilling, or quite often voters. Even in Texas or Florida. It's the exact same situation that led to Sarah Palin - as soon as there's scrutiny they're revealed to not be able to stand up to it, but they've never actually been scrutinized before.
