Inslee’s roads are full of potholes and he can’t plow mountain passes or make ferries run on time. In short, he’s an idiot who sucks at the job of running a state.

DeSantis on the other hand excels at it. Actual job performance matters.

DeSantis doesn't do any of that stuff - at least, not here in Florida. Nearly all of those governmental services are run by county and municipal governments.

And while Florida is a fairly well run state at the state level, very little of that has anything to do with De Santis (good or bad) - it's been a well-administered state since the late 1970's, as we had a string of very competent governors that put together a very solid state administration (Reubin Askew, Bob Graham, Bob Martinez, Lawton Chiles, and Jeb Bush). All of whom (Republican and Democratic) were very impressive administrators and very focused on having the state operate efficiently. Bush especially, who was an excellent administrative governor.

DeSantis isn't that guy. All credit for keeping the object in motion continuing in motion, but he's not been the type of governor who sees his mission as making sure the trains run on time "metaphorically." He's been far more focused on the legislature and adopting big policies, rather than the more prosaic governmental functions you laud above.

So no - even though you're quite confident that no one would be willing to trade for Inslee, put me down as absolutely 100% willing to make that swap.
