brains and Trump together just doesn't mix. DeSantis has the brains but nothing else it seems.

I'm not even sure he has the brains.  He's made a lot of stupid moves that have backfired on him.  But he has absolutely no charisma or presence, which while is very similar to Pence, Pence at least knows he has no charisma and realizes he needs to contrast with Trump, not try to compete.
