Stephen Colbert spots the one key factor that could end Gov. Ron DeSantis' presidential aspirations

“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert isn’t even bothering with the clown nose routine — his show is just an extension of the DNC, and not a funny one. Back in December, Colbert noted that likely 2024 presidential candidate Gov. Ron DeSantis was outpolling Donald Trump. “That’s like a poll between gonorrhea and a slightly more racist gonorrhea. Apologies to gonorrhea.” So Colbert is rooting for another four years of Joe Biden or is he hoping someone a little less senile steps up?

“Racist gonorrhea” — they actually have a writers’ room to come up with this comedy gold.

Now HuffPost is eagerly reporting that Colbert has spotted the one key factor that could sink DeSantis’ presidential aspirations.

Please, tell us:

First, Colbert pointed to a report in Politico in which GOP insiders say that DeSantis “lacks charm.”

“Oh come on,” Colbert said in mock disbelief. “He’s got the smooth style of a nonplayable character in a PlayStation 2 game.”

But DeSantis has an even bigger flaw: His schmoozing game is weak.

“Ron is at his best on paper,” a Florida political leader told New York magazine last year. “Then you meet him and you say, ‘Oh, my gosh.’”

Colbert agreed — for a different reason.

“It’s true, DeSantis is best on paper,” he said. “Specifically, that roll by the toilet.”

Which GOP insiders? The Lincoln Project? And a Florida political leader interviewed by New York magazine.

They’re scared to death of DeSantis and it’s pathetically obvious.
