In 2016, Virginia’s Ken Cuccinelli was one of the lead voices behind the never-Trump pro-Cruz effort. Cuccinelli was the main floor voice trying to lead a revolt against Donald Trump at the 2016 GOP nomination convention.
After President Trump won the nomination, Cuccinelli became a fake MAGA supporter in order to retain influence in Republican politics; however, he was always of a never-Trump disposition despite President Trump letting bygones be bygones for the Cruz folks.
Now we enter 2024 and Ken Cuccinelli, a political grifter of the most extreme variant, goes back into never-Trump mode in support of Ron DeSantis and launches a Political Action Committee to support the Florida Governor. [LINK]
…[…] The Trump campaign isn’t alone in preparing for a delegate fight. Other prominent Republicans, including Ken Cuccinelli, a former Virginia attorney general and a top delegate expert, have been discussing amendments to the delegate rules, according to a person familiar with the matter. Mr. Cuccinelli declined to comment, saying only that he was not publicly committed to a candidate. (March 4, 2023)
Scumbag. Then again the VA GOP is all corrupt.
That is the truth.
The governor & attorney general are letting the mayor of Richmond get away with anything & everything. The mayor is an absolute criminal. That burns me more than the riots & destruction on the mayor’s watch.
As a longtime Richmonder who now lives over the city line, and who watched Stoney march with BLM in 2020 and then allowed antifa and BLM burn down businesses, loot and assault police officers in the city, I was so hopeful when Youngkin was elected. After all, we are the capital city.
Stoney’s own city attorney told him he was breaking the law by tearing down the statues on historic Monument Ave, not to mention desecrating the AP Hill statue and his grave, and then dumping the Monument statues in the wastewater treatment
plant.
I thought for sure Repub AG Miyares would charge Stoney and his bff contractor Team Henry for corruption and breaking the law. Well. Not a peep.
If Youngkin and Miyares would stop worrying about running for higher office in the future and do their job Richmond might have a chance.
Stoney is McAuliffe’s and Clinton’s boy so crime, carjackings, shootings and assaults are way up and the downtown area is a disgusting third world craphole. Stoney answers to his masters and yet uses Richmond’s history of the slave trade to justify his lawbreaking. How ironic for a black mayor, who doesn’t make a move without his white masters telling him what to do. Now the rumor is he’s running for governor after Youngkin.
Umm…no. Ken is a good guy. He was cheated out of the governorship by establishment forces in Virginia (Bill Bolling).
While I disagree with him here, he was critical as AG in fighting the Obama administration. Learn some facts first.
Hopefully, if DeSantis is wise and doesn’t run, he will wise up and join the winning team.
I gave him a second chance after his stunt at the RNC convention in 2016 and Trump brought him on board. Ken was doing great until the political winds shifted and Pres. Trump appeared diminished. Ken tossed his old boss aside in a heartbeat and went back to his first love: bought and paid for puppet politicians like DeSanctis and Lying Ted.
DeSinkhole fails the taste test.
Dear Ken Cuccinelli – remember that Trump curse is still a thing; remembering the former Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn? She did this whole Trump derangement thing, ended up embarrassing herself at her last Olympic try-outs, last we heard she was stuck doing television commercials for sleeping medicine.
Don’t be a Lindsey Vonn. President Trump gave you a hand up in his Administration after you had embarrassed yourself by losing in court, when you represented the State of Virginia to that climate warming hockey stick promoter and your career had then come to a screeching halt.

Mitch McConnell falling in a Hotel previously owned by Trump.
The lack of gratitude for what President Trump accomplished — and more importantly, endured from the ongoing 24x7x365x7 years assault on him, his family, his associates, and his supporters — is inexplicable.
Even Democrats, let alone squishy GOPee (eunuch establishment), must by now realize what Trump had succeeded in doing against all odds & scum — and how good everybody had it by 2019 — before the culmination of the 5-year coup in 2020 with the Leftist Domestic Terrorism, intentional unleashing by the traitorous Deep State and ChiComms (but I repeat myself), and ultimate color revolution of stealing the election from him.
Just compare to Biden’s proposed budget today, which will literally collapse the economy, society, & nation.

Didn’t she loose her case and had to Trumps’s lawyers?
Pay
I’d like to know if there is any money from anybody connected to the Clintons, the DNC or the FBI lying in her accounts. Either now or previously. It has all the hallmarks of another Killary job as they found a photo of her at a golf event taken with Trump years ago (along with about a million other people he’s been snapped with over the years)
Not the stupid Stormey Daniels story again. It’s like a broken record.
Well, they always have one in the barn 🤣
And don’t forget, there still another one, a crazy lady that accused him of sexual attack or something … She’s still around, waiting for her cue.
I pray for President Trump!
It’s time to put the old cow out to pasture…literally!
It’s called blackmail and TRUMP was the victim.
Look up David Letterman.
Another nothingburger.
PACs are a big business. Don’t these guys get hefty management fees and lavish budgets? It’s a no lose situation. Anti Trump has a lot of currency with donors
Whole “recruit DeSantis” movement makes me think of the “recruit Richard” scene in Richard III.
Not sure why. . .
It makes me think of the HoR “recruiting” er… begging for Paul D Ryan for speaker.
Did anyone watch the War Room with Steve Bannon interviewing John Solomon. Mr. Solomon had nothing nice to say about Cuccinelli. Pretty much called him a back stabbed that couldn’t be trusted. He had prior dealings with Cuccinelli and got burned by him. You would think that in today’s political field, that burning bridges is not a good thing and people do not forget.
I saw John Fredericks call Cuccinelli a cockroach, Never Trump, backstabbing grifter of the worst kind . Fredericks has prior dealing with that scumbag in Virginia years ago. https://warroom.org/2023/03/09/john-fredericks-blasts-ken-cuccinelli-the-guys-a-backstabbing-ungrateful-grifter/
Fredericks allowed so many Never Trump voices on his radio show for so long. He aired Joe Walsh’s show up until 2018 or so, he let that RINO Chris Saxman have a show until a couple years ago, and had leftists literally promoting communism on during the daytime, albeit only for a few months. Dude either has poor judgment or just sees the dollars.
Cuccinelli choked in his 2013 bid for governor against McAliffe. His loss was the first time since 1973 that a candidate lost whose party held the WH. He’s not to be viewed as a winner.
Damn I was just commenting on one of the threads today or yesterday about my biggest 2024 fear. I fear that the Republicans will play similar games as the DNC did in 2008 to be able to put DeSantis or whomever they want on the 2024 General Election Ticket.
I shared this link on the other page, positive things President Trump did are delegate rules in 2020 than will also benefit him in 2024:
https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2023/02/15/if-nikki-haley-is-the-first-of-many-to-run-trump-will-win/
in 2008 the DNC literally changed their primary rules as they went along. in order to give Obama the win.
Then to top it off at the convention those delegates refusing to switch to Obama were threaten.
Obama stuffed the caucuses state to state with out-of-state people on busses, going from caucus to caucus, to cheat Hillary.
Giving Gaston made an excellent video of it.
https://canadafreepress.com/article/serious-questions-raised-about-obama-tactics-in-2008-election
They can put whomever they wish on the ticket but I know if it is not Trump, my family will stay home and everyone on the ticket can do without their vote. Pretty sure we are not alone.
I know that the DNC was telling Democrats that their votes didn’t matter and they could do what ever they wanted with the General Election Ticket.
However can the Republicans do it??
They are already moving in various states to keep Trump off the state nominations, as in MO.
The GOP majority gov and legislature changed the law this year from a “Presidential Preference PRIMARY” to a “Presidential Preference CAUCUS”.
75% of MO Pubbie voters will vote for Trump, but the state GOPe will choose the state nominee, and are free to utterly ignore the states “preference” for Trump, and nominate ANYBODY THEY WANT.
The primary allows everybody to vote. The CAUCUS, however, only allows caucus members to vote, the idea being to stuff the caucus with Party faithful, and align the caucus and Party vote to eliminate Trump as nominee, WITHOUT THE VOTERS REALIZING THEY’VE BEEN UTTERLY DISENFRANCHISED.
Expect to see more of this kind of vile subterfuge.
I expect big things from the 20 MAGA reps
in order for this to not happen
Kenneth Cuccinelli is a Lawyer………..Ron DeSantis is a Lawyer…..Mitch McConnell is a Lawyer….Chuck Schumer is a Lawyer…..Joe Biden is a Lawyer…..Kamala Harris is a Lawyer….Does anyone see the obvious Problem….???
And Trump is the Shakespearean “gravedigger”
Metaphorically speaking, of course.
Barak Obama
is a Lawyer.
Michelle Obama is a Lawyer.
Hillary Clinton
is a Lawyer….
My boss had a good idea a few decades ago. For every Japanese car we import, we should export a lawyer.
Good start.
The only thing I expect from attorners is for
them to be in their coffins by sun-up
Cuccinelli was abandoned by the GOP when he ran for GOV of VA … he has tried so hard to part of the ‘club’. Being in PDJT’s administration didn’t help his standing. Maybe this will do it for him … or just maybe they will burn him again when he has served his purpose. Such a slimy bunch.
They treated him very badly in VA. He’s a real bulldog and tenacious as hell.
They hate him because he’s pro-life.
Referring to Trump, I assume. Cuccinelli can pound sand.
Trump Was Right.
So, old west coast Floridians descendants of former state senator (below) will not be voting for Trump. The tweets were over the top. They were emphatic in their non support of a second Trump term. Notwithstanding, crickets re Repub governors Bush, Crist, Scott all of whom were NOT to be trusted imo, although all, like DeSantis who went to school west coast of Fl, Dunedin High School, performed competently in response to hurricanes that hit Florida.

And, Desantis made a big deal about Henry Saylor receiving the vaccine:

5 months later Senator Sayler died: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Sayler_(Florida_politician)
Ken Cuccinelli, I met you in Abingdon, and at the time thought you were a standup guy. Strong Catholic upbringing, strong homeschooling advocate. I and many of my fellow believing friends thought Virginia had a great candidate for Governor. Apparently we were very wrong and I am glad you never became Governor of our Commonwealth.
Mr. Ken, I must say you have some brass balls to be shilling for Ron. What has he offered you? You’re a loser. The best thing you had going was when President Trump gave you an opportunity in his administration. Now look at you. Grifter is exactly the right word. Go away Mr. Empty Suit, we’ve got your number now.
“Betrayal is the only truth that sticks.” Arthur Miller(I think)
Cuccinelli betraying Trump, bottom line.
These DC career beltway players are the enemy of the American worker. Why would I want to vote for a candidate that they have packaged and tied neatly in a little bow? DeSantis lacks grassroots support. He is not even looking appealing as President at this point. Sure, he engages in culture wars with the left, but he hasn’t done anything to make my wallet better off now than it was four years ago. I voted for him for Governor too.
This is for all the marbles…the powers of the Big Club will stop at nothing…and RDS is in on it!
DeSantis is already just an also ran. It’s Trump or Bye, Bye the USA and hello the USSA.
Very disappointing! Elites make me nauseous.
I work for National Write Your Congressman, not a lobbyist organization, pac or paid off group. but a non partisan , grass roots , voice of the people organization.
we are for profit and have a HUGE voice on Capitol Hill.
We stop stupid legislation dead in its tracks in the congressional record.
That being said, every day we are cold calling small businesses. My territory is south central Pennsylvania.
We are “ angry red “
We are very aware our vote for Trump 2020 , Oz 2022 and Mastriano 2022 was stolen.
but I can assure you, no one is team De Santis. They see right through him.
The collective voice in this area is still Trump 2024 and God Help Our Country.
I am an elected Republican Committee Member in Allegheny County and the reason why Democrat are winning Statewide is because they are very good at getting their base to vote by mail. Republicans in the legislature are responsible for ACT77 mail-in-ballot law. Shapiro had over a 800,000 vote lead when the polls opened on Election Day and at my polling place Mastriano was the only Republican to LOSE the in person voting. A. friend who ran for Congress in the 17th district won Beaver County and Mastriano lost in Beaver County. 2023 Judge elections will be a test to see if republicans can GOTV to win a seat on the PA Supreme Court. FYI Governor DeSantis is speaking at the PA Leadership Conference on Aprile 1st
One more reason to never vote for Uniparty Ron.
Funny, I received an email from their marketing firm. Unsubsidized. It is Trump all the way for me.

I really thought Ken Cuccinelli was better than that. Oh well another one bites the dust.
Is this even legal.
A social worker from an Oregon field office came by my 81 year old clients house today to assess his abilities.
The 3rd. question she asked him was, “Are you registered to vote?”
Pretty weird don’t you think.
Pre-harvesting the harvest?
Is that legal?
Weird.
Assess one’s ability to conduct their own affairs, then seek information that could aid an effort to vote in their stead.
That entire bit about taking away people’s rights, or exploiting them to abuse their rights, is something this sorta broken veteran increasingly hates.
Ugh. Another one that simply will not go away. It is about time for Santorum to show his mug in a sweater vest.
End the PACs, they are no different or better than the non-profit scams greasing the palms and laundering.
But but but DS has not announced that he is running.
Ken ran a shit campaign for governor in an embarrassing loss to McCulliff. He did a shit job in DHS for Trump in summer of 2020 and BACKED DOWN to ANTIFA. Ken just needs to STFU and go away for good. He can’t because the grift is so good.
Cuccinelli needs to wake up and smell the coffee. I do not think DeSantis could win the general election, just like I thought Ted Cruz could not do it. Both of them are stuffed shirts pretending to be more conservative than they are.
Jeb! ‘16 is Ron! ‘24 – ask who wants to prevent a second Trump presidency?
Ron- you are doing the job you were born to do and you are doing it really well. You supported President Trump just two years ago, what has changed?
Integrity is vital in our leaders. We know what you stand for when we see who you stand with. Please confirm your continued support for President Trump.
Take the money and don’t run.
Never Back Down sent me a fundraising text today.
My reply:
We need DeSantis in the White House as VICE President. Don’t be stupid.
no to DeSantis for anything federal
the Florida people are on their own
Apparently Cuccinelli is an expert at stealing delegates. He took advantage of Trump’s inexperience in 2016 and stole numerous delegates for Cruz . It was all laid out in Bannon’s show 3/9.
You have to ask yourself why so many men are threatened by Trump.
He shows them to be weak and feckless so they want to destroy him.
What a bunch of losers.
At least Trump will know who’s on his side if he gets re-elected this time around, and keep the RINO’s at arms distance!
I honestly do not understand the end game of the Cruzbots – they have practically accomplished nothing other than foment dissent. They do grift. They are definitely wild-eyed ideologues not that different in character from the ‘Squad’. Perhaps one day CTH could provide the background on the Cruzbots – the media ones hang out at FN or BlazeTV for the most part.
I hang my head in shame.
Try winning in 2024 Without MAGA Nation?
“You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink” is a phrase that comes to mind when the voters are presented with Ron DeSantis.
They may cheat him into the nomination, but apart from diehard Uniparty fans (are there any?) I don’t see people flocking to cote for him, the Republican level of votes will drop back down. Will Trump run as an independent to mess with the GOPe?
*vote
Ken, you are such a disappointment.
Trump should be the president now, and he’ll get my vote in 2024, whether or not he’s on the ballot.
write in vote for Trump
Here we go again, Koch is connected to Ken Cuccinelli, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley. But, is that the end, I wish. Koch is also connected to the Carlyle Group, which is connected to the CCP. Well, need some proof, just look below. I feel as though I am assembling a puzzle picture or a set of tinker toys.
Billionaire and right-wing Tea Party funder David Koch has next to nothing in common with the Virginia working families Ken Cuccinelli wants to represent as Governor. But tonight, Cuccinelli will be collecting big checks from Koch and his right-wing buddies, not working for Virginia families.
Virginians know how this works — corporate sponsors who fund multi-million dollar political campaigns call the shots once their candidates are in office. Given Ken Cuccinelli’s history of memory lapses when it comes to fully reporting gifts from well-heeled friends like Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams, Virginians certainly have cause to worry.
Cuccinelli has already received $50,000 from Koch Industries for his gubernatorial campaign and tonight’s invitation plainly states, “Please note that ‘Ken Cuccinelli for Governor’ is able to accept unlimited corporate, personal, and PAC contributions.”
https://bluevirginia.us/2013/05/cuccinellis-koch-party
Desantis is a MAGA governor and he is one of the best governors that we have ever seen. Rinos and libs are destroying this country. There is no need to attack Desantis. Focus on what matters. Also there is no rule that there can be only one leader in this movement. We need leaders everywhere. It is not Desantis or Trump. It is Desantis AND Trump.
I expect them to cheat
Nevertheless we’re gonna vote for Trump regardless just like we been doing.
Many people I know are growing disheartened tempted not to bother with voting
I understand that, but we gonna encourage everyone in our small sphere of influence to go vote anyway.
