This week’s Dispatch Live is all rank punditry. The gang starts with what is going on with Chris Christie and discusses whether he can take down Donald Trump in the GOP primary? Then talk turns to why New York is actually a House battleground state. Finally, is Ron DeSantis awkward or does he just not care?

    Re: Senate party leaders from small states—it's true, it's rare enough, but when Thune won his seat in 2004, it was by defeating then-Democratic leader Tom Daschle. South Dakota has been punching above its weight in Senate leadership for a couple of decades now.

    So what you are saying is that DeSantis is KDW.

      Yeah, haha, I wouldn’t say I can “turn on” charisma. But I definitely thought of myself when they said that DeSantis actually can talk to people just fine, he just loses patience and thinks all this gladhanding is a waste of time. I would be a terrible politician because the first selfie would be the one where I would say, “this is a total waste of time. Why am I doing this?”
