…”Norman Rockwell (optics), Ward Cleaver (tones), soft hues and gentlemanly pastels. Club branding is subtle on the image front, but very clear on the substantive messaging side. Social issues selected to maximize camp coalition, and influence base.” 8-12-22 {LINK}
Glenn Beck and Ben Shapiro enter messaging, with club financing… and we’re off. Ted Cruz in 2014, is Ron DeSantis in 2022.
The UniParty issue does not start in Washington DC, it surfaces in Washington DC.
The UniParty agenda, the origin of the crap that we see surface in a toxically corrupt federal government, starts IN YOUR STATE.
The UniParty is an outcome of the private organizations that run the political parties known as the RNC and DNC. This is where almost all voters and political followers get lost.
The Republican and Democrat parties are not affiliated with any construct of the United States government. They are private entities, private clubs, corporations that can establish any set of rules and regulations for the people within the club/party. That’s where the origin of the feces begins.
The club can accept or deny membership for any person who wants to run for political office. The RNC and DNC clubs essentially select the politicians. There is nothing within this process that is even remotely democratic, representative or even visible in the framework of the U.S. constitution.
Private corporations known as the RNC and DNC run the professional political apparatus, and from that origination all of the corruption in the body politic -as outlined in the visible UniParty agenda- surfaces.
Two clubs, both funded by Wall Street power brokers, globalists and ultra-rich mega-donors, select the members who will represent their interests in Washington DC. That’s the root of the issue.
The Republican National Committee (RNC), and the Democrat National Committee (DNC), are private clubs.
The RNC and DNC are corporations, private businesses; and just like all private businesses, they have the ability to make rules, bylaws, terms and conditions of membership and association that are completely arbitrary according to their charter.
The RNC and DNC are not entities of government. The RNC and DNC are not affiliates of government. The RNC and DNC have absolutely no connection to government, other than their arbitrary business model for helping politicians enter and remain within government.
In fact, the RNC and DNC are simply private corporations who engage in the business of politics. Whenever we start to forget the DNC and RNC are private corporations, we can slip into the mistaken belief that they operate on any form of baseline altruism.
These corporations exist for the fulfillment of their mission; and their mission is to use the business of politics as a method of financial reward to sustain the business model.
Some call these private entities, these corporations, “clubs,” because using that term helps to remind us that these groups do not operate without a private agenda.
The rules within the RNC club are determined by the people who control the club charter, primarily large donors who fund the corporate business. If they have a particular intent or direction, they wish the club to support or take, they control how the club engages in the process of achieving their outcome. That effort is taken regardless of the opinion from the subordinate members in the club.
Through the process of controlling the corporations, the private clubs, both the RNC and DNC control how political events take place. Nothing within this process is contingent upon the support of the voting electorate.
Each state and local precinct has their own chapter of the club, and often the corporate direction, specifically the club activity in/around Washington DC, is different from what the local groups want to see take place. However, just because the local chapter of the group disagrees with the parent company or board of directors, does not mean the larger corporate entity will change anything.
When we are evaluating political events inside the United States, it is critical to keep reminding ourselves that what is taking place, or what is not taking place, are outcomes determined within the executive suites of a private club. This is an unfortunate system dynamic, but it is a critical point that once fully understood explains many of the issues people have with the registered politicians within the club.
The RNC and DNC are businesses. Their decisions are business decisions. The club actions, or lack thereof, are all part of the business of politics.
The tenured participants in the club do not operate arbitrarily in a vacuum. They talk to each other, communicate with each other, organize with each other, plan with each other, and collaborate for the larger objectives of the private corporation.
Nothing within the business system of DC and club politics has anything to do with the constitutional framework of U.S. government.
Again, for emphasis. The governing process and constitutional aspects of the framework within the U.S. government, have absolutely nothing to do with the two private corporations known as the RNC and DNC.
A potato farmer has no influence on McDonalds, despite the fact the fast food corporation sells french fries.
Please keep this reference point in mind.
[ The Illusion of Choice ]
“Governor Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) re-election campaign announced “The DeSantis Playbook” on Thursday, a guide to the governor’s “Freedom Agenda” focused on law and order, parental rights, economic policy, and the environment.
The playbook, first obtained by The Daily Wire, details a lengthy list of the governor’s accomplishments for Floridians, lawmakers, governors, and Americans who might wish to follow in DeSantis’s footsteps.” (read more)
You may remember when never-trumper Glenn Beck was on the verge of bankruptcy, that’s when the weakness was identified by the bankers. The same bankers who have long exerted influence in our national conversation. The same bankers behind Ben Shapiro, not coincidentally another tenured ‘never-trumper.’ As much as things change, almost everything stays the same.
Shapiro and Beck…. It’s the multinational finance group within the worst part of the political manipulation sphere. Cruz in 2014 (prepping for 2016) is DeSantis in 2022 (prepping for 2024). EXACT SAME management group. EXACT SAME media. {link}
As we noted in the Managing of Ron DeSantis, the technique is Norman Rockwell (optics) and Ward Cleaver (tones), soft hues and gentlemanly pastels.
Club branding is subtle on the image front, but very clear on the substantive messaging side. Social issues selected to maximize camp coalition, and influence base.
Consistently present political messaging where the republican voter base can say “yes.” Keep the “yes” messaging at the forefront (social emphasis). Focus on values. Schools, kids, safety, woke pushback, media bias etc, keep the audiences nodding yes. Ultimately, it’s a sales technique. Identify with the target to influence their decisions.
Issues around multinational & corporate economics, hard lines, foreign policy, all these things must be avoided – except in general terms. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is not to be challenged, not really. Keep the message social and build the emotional connection. It is harder to break an emotional bond than a logical or cognitive bond.
These are the political techniques of Lee Atwater that still make up the bulk of the GOPe club playbook. The greatest skill of the professionally republican is to present the illusion of choice in such a way as the voters do not see it.
Keep in mind, back in Washington DC both clubs are collaborating on the Trump removal program because both clubs’ benefit.
If we watch closely, we will see a MAGA-lite, professionally controlled republican go from five-days as a pupa, to chrysalis, to national club butterfly.
And tomorrow is Saturday.
“the GOP is our victim.” 100% Right!
I prefer to use the word ‘target’.
What about Tucker? Why is he allowed to say what he is saying? Just for ratings?
Because he’s controlled opposition. Notice something. He never mentions the word ‘bankers’ or any term that has historically been considered semi-synonymous to it.
Tucker never criticizes the neocon “free trade” dogma…..ever.
and remember what he said about Sydney Powell and
the stolen election
Why do you Lie…
On the 5/6/19 edition of Fox’s Tucker Carlson Tonight, TAC executive director Johnny Burtka discusses his recent article on why conservatives should be skeptical of free trade and multinational corporations.
Ratings and if fox loses him it is over. Wd think the Boys at the top are waiting for dad to blow so they can finally get rid of Tucker, although Tucker is deep in and you wonder how deep. Hannidy Ingram are just hanging on but viewers (me) are over them. Same old same old tired monologue and cutesy back and forth, gets old

Tucker never uses the word ‘bankers’ or any near-synonyms. If you can’t discern between one specific bank choosing one illicit policy and the concept of ‘bankers’ and their, uh, ilk, then it’s because you don’t *want* to, ultimately.
And I think you’re working for Tucker and/or Fox.

Maybe not everyone thinks that bankers run the world.

In a monologue that aired on Tucker Carlson’s nightly Fox News show on Jan 2, 2019…
“For generations,” he said, “Republicans have considered it their duty to make the world safe for banking, while simultaneously prosecuting ever more foreign wars.” He added that mainstream Democrats too “generally support those goals enthusiastically.”
“mercenaries who feel no long-term obligation to the people they rule” and “don’t even bother to understand our problems.” Despite the parties’ differing emphases, he said, both Republicans and Democrats maintain a deep and abiding trust in the market’s power to solve social problems—even as this bipartisan consensus has unleashed unfettered market forces that have been devastating American industry and working-class families’ prospects for a generation.
For our Ruling Class Investment Baking is always the answer…
It’s ironic that you post this to somehow discredit my assertion. Because it is one of Tucker’s absolute best controlled opposition pieces. Watching it you’d think most bankers look like Mitt Romney, and that ‘our leaders’ are the problem. Sundance seems to suggest that ‘our [presumably political] leaders’ aren’t, in fact, leading the way and that it’s the bankers who are. That, at least, is my contention. And I’m quite certain most bankers don’t look like Mitt Romney.
LOL… Take the ‘L’ and move on…
Somehow I really doubt you’re laughing very hard. Sweating is more like it.
For any wondering, I suspect there’s not much shade between hasbara and Fox News fixers.
He’s bi-political! Tulsi appears often and has even guest hosted the show.
Don’t be fooled by Tulsi. She endorsed Bernie and voted for Obamacare.
Also believe her initial campaign was funded by Podesta. WEF young leader.
That’s right, she was WEF young leader.
He has a crush on her.
Remember when he expressed admiration for Pocahontas’ “economic” ideas??
Yes. FOX lost a lot of viewers the day after the election so they gulped and realized they needed a conservative likable to bring people back.
Except you can’t unsee what you have seen already.
There is a “BIG SOMETHING” that’s so big that it can’t NOT be talked about … The election.
And then it becomes glaringly obvious, by its absence.
Because Fox News would die without Tucker.
It’s the confidence trick of the con man (or con media network).
You do something good to get people to BELIEVE you are on their side.
You now “trust Fox.”
And then when Fox says, “Biden wins Arizona!” — you believe them.
you state it so clearly
You’re correct. Basically, he is the main reason most conservatives still pay any attention to Fox News after their anti-Trump/pro-Establishment reporting on the 2020 election. If they fired him, their ratings would plummet.
Tucker does more than all you scribblers and carpers.
If you don’t like him because he is not perfect get off your lazy asses and start your own damn Cable Show.
You remind me of all those “Asians” who say Harvard discriminates against them. OK – you Asians if you are so damn smart and successful then start your own damn university. By the way, my family and business partners started three colleges. Two are still existence and one merged. We don’t sit and write. We do.
Thank you CTH for opening my eyes.
Sundance nonchalantly ends his fifth paragraph with this sentence:
‘That’s where the origin of the feces begins.’
LOL…Just great!
Darwin & WORDMAN love it! 🙂
Another good use for feces is to put these rinos on our fecal roster.
Apparently King RINO Rat McConnell has told the RNC to shut down election spending on R candidates in a few states, Arizona and Pennsylvania being just two.
It’s clear he’d rather lose the Senate than have “not our sort of people” sully the place. And besides, he’s got a rather nice malt whiskey waiting for him somewhere..first things first.
Disgraceful and traitorous…the whole lot of them.
I totally loathe McConnell. He’s the reason FJB is in the White House.
CFR Newt Gingrich was the arch-traitor of the 90’s imo
Politicians are all about playing the rubes. Not getting played is hard. Don’t know what we’d do without Sundance.
Without Trump and Sundance, we would be up some creek without a paddle.
For the same reason no male children born the U.S. since the 1770’s have the name Benedict, no male children should ever be named Mitch. A traitor is more loathed than an enemy.
Poor Mitch Miller.
c’monnn everybody, “Sing Along…” 😀
I can’t wait for fka Serena to jump in on this thread and tell us that Mitch McConnell is still better than a Democrat.
Because the Turtle does not want any GOP candidate that he did not support.
or that he can’t control.
They support to control.
🎯
Exactly, Sherry!
Bingo
Or that he can’t control.
Yes, Betsy, you nailed it. For a while now, McConnell has essentially been saying, “not sure how well we’ll really do in picking up seats in the Senate… we may not even take it over.” McConnell would rather lose the Senate then let any rabble-rousing America First candidate be given the opportunity to truly represent us regular folks.
We’ll just have to turn out en masse voting day. As the Fed is a private bank, he obviously sees the Senate as his private club. Let’s just see if we can wreck his delusions for him. That’s our mission, and we must make it happen.
Remember the 2+2=4 movement in Poland in the 1980s? We don’t need to spend a lot of money to get our message out…just a strong and easy to understand message.
Yes I do…and no you do not.
His wife will “Chinese” us. Think of the money behind this repulsive man and colleagues tht stand behind him scared. Suffering bunch of horrific creatures
That’s partly why Buchanan was destroyed and they hated/illegally hamstrung/couped PDJT, because they would/were putting the screws to China, which the CFR delegated to take/steal/transfer our technologies and economic prosperity to. CFR Bush’s New World Order” was the Globalists/CFR destruction of America and rise of China. ChinaGate exposed it all and CFR Newt & Co made sure it was swept under the rug.
The Republicans had majorities in the Seante & House during most of CFR Clinton’s years and they helped him to destroy America. Trump was putting the screws to China and Buchanan was never given the chance to that he would have
This. Force them and watch them squirm. They further expose themselves by doing so.
We can do MORE. We can give money to MAGA candidates IN OTHER STATES/RACES!
I’m not giving money to my RINO Congress Critter, or Rubio, or Scott, BUT I CAN give to Mastriano, Joe Kent, etc. Every elected MAGA can benefit us.
More important than controlling candidates, the club and specially the Turtle, will do everything possible just under the surface to keep PDT from office. He’s a bigger threat to them than any single candidate
Senator candidates spend 10 million on a campaign to earn 200k a year…
That $200 000 salary is just the price of the entry ticket to the big money. We are the chumps.
The decepticons need to be turtle shamed.
Independents will rule, GOP will go defunct.
As someone wrote–it may have been Sundance–McConnell is most powerful when there is a slim majority or minority split in the Senate. The MORE Republican Senators there are, the less power and influence he has–and its even worse for McConnell when those Republican Senators are not allied with McConnell.
Thus, McConnell is NOT inclined to want MORE Republican Senators, especially MAGA Senators.
The man is diabolical.
It was Sundance. Its easier for the turtle to leverage votes (sell) and gain power when in the minority.
If he has a majority he has to get them all to vote his way. In the minority he only needs a few extra votes to get whatever payout he wants from the legislation.
I remember that…his quiet power. He really never forgave Trump for 1) winning and 2) putting him in a position which diminished that power.
A man of the people he is not. I wish Kentuckians would realize McConnell does not represent them. He represents himself and his interests only.
Think Sundance may have discussed this in the past…
When you look at McConnell’s numbers from his last Senate election…looks like a Dominion win.
I’m unsure of Dominion was in use in Kentucky.
There was quite a bit of quiet talk about the irregularities in his last election (2020), that he didn’t win… That his polls were about 15% positive, 85% negative.
But remember the Bevin/Beshear hassle… Bevin was ousted by vote fraud, and very little was investigated.
Thank you for that, Missy. I was only cursorily familiar with the political soap opera in Kentucky. Such a beautiful state. My surgeon father did his internship in Lexington and his residency in Louisville. I hope things get straightened out there and some true MAGA candidates can prevail. Time to put McConnell out to one of those oh so beautiful pastures.
when the republicans are not in power they don’t need
an excuse to not get anything worthwhile accomplished
That and the RNC prob raises more money while NOT in power.
Precisely why never contribute to the party. ONLY to the candidate….
Hi Betsy,
Is their a more detestable character than the turtle?
Cheers!
Hey Dekester. Thinking…so many contenders. I’ll get back to you on that😉
remember Chris McDaniel in MS? Sharron Angle in NV?
Oh yes I do. Maggots gonna maggot. What a tragic loss for both states.
I loathe McConnell. He came out either today or yesterday and said he does not think the Repubs will win the Senate this midterm.
Why does he say such a thing? Because he hopes it is true, as he KNOWS he will NOT be re-elected “Top Dawg” if MAGA candidates take over the Senate this November.
Which makes it our goal to prove him wrong.
As he said, “The quality of the candidates” … What a POS.
A typical reaction to a MAGA winning a primary, he did it in 2018 as well.
The lame justification is “the candidate can not win, and we have to spend our resources where they will yield results.”
Absurd, of coarse on multiple counts;
Firstly, the RNC and Congressional funds are awash in cash.
Secondly and given that, of COARSE you spend $, even on “losing” campaigns, in order to force your opposition to spend $ where they otherwise would not.
Its far more than just “not our people”; EVERY RINO Candidate, just in running, but even more in winning office and their words and actions once in office, utterly destroys the Uniparty, by exposing the RINOS.
THAT, as much as anything is what PDJT has done, and what true AmericaFirst candidates do.
One MAGA Candidate in office, is “worth” 50 RINOS, in terms of impact.
A knife or bullet, aimed right at McConnells shriveled black heart. (metaphorically speaking, of coarse.)
But here’s a problem as well, Dutchman . So many frauds run as Rs saying all the right things and then show themselves for what they are after. Two examples…the reprehensible liar Sasse and the WEF poster boy Crenshaw. Don’t know how we fight that. Vetting goes only so far.
Mr Trump inexplicably endorsed Oz who is running a very poor campaign against Fetterman, a physically unwell and odious man. In general, having MAGA candidates seems to be a way to separate the wheat from the chaff. I’m hoping that the ones who have advanced are truly what they claim they are.
My fantasy is enough of them win so that McConnell will no longer hold his position in the Senate. Same in the House with McCarthy…both have falsely sworn on the Bible and need to pay a price for that.
You have to look at who is funding the candidate.
Follow the money — because they are BUYING their candidate.
The candidate can lie as much as he wants to get the vote. The candidate will even do a good conservative thing to PROVE to you that he is what he says.
But the money behind the candidate ALWAYS controls the big decisions.
DeSantis is funded by the globalist Koch brothers.
Koch brother…single….David Koch died in 2019.
There are always ways to hide funding…and no one even seems to look, certainly not John Q Voter.
One brothers. The other one died a couple of years ago. The other is older than dirt.
They put all the stops out after Buchanan won the paper ballot NH primary after the enemedia polls said he would come in 5th or 6th. Your “the candidate can not win” was one they used.
A very articulate & astute Buchanan would have destroyed CFR traitor Clinton in debates on the economic treason of Free Trade. Pat taking out the Uniparty in 96
Pat Buchanan Owns Dole on NAFTA and Immigration at 96′ Debate
Pat was way ahead of his time re populism, America first. He is a first-class writer going back to his old days in newspapers. If you can find his essay on the West Memphis child murders, it is worth the read.
Hi friend, ty for your post & info. I’ve been a Buchananite until becoming MAGA.
On his political essays I place amongst my big 4 of Buchanan, Sobran, Francis, and Reese. I left the republican party after what they did to him in the 1996 primaries. PDJT took much of his MAGA platform from Buchanan’s MAFA. Most people here were not awake & aware in the 90’s when he tried to warn us. I was. the gaslight & Alinsky tactics that did not work on Trump & MAGA, sadly worked on Pat & MAFA.
I highly recommend his “Death of The West” and of course his site. regards

I knew immediately the Republicans were going to lose when I heard Dole was their candidate.
On Thursday evening, August 18, 2022 Tucker talked about what you said in your comment, Betsy: Mitch McConnell is basically throwing in the towel on Republicans taking the Senate, and not backing some Republican candidates ‘because they don’t measure up’.
Here is what Tucker had to say:
I honestly do not understand why Tucker is so often lambasted in conservative comment sections. Repeatedly he is called “controlled opposition”, and skewered and re-skewered for not being a loud bulldozer about the 2020 Nov theft.
He DID have Catherine Engelbrecht on his show.
He was then harpooned for not discussing the mule movie (I am purposely typing ‘in code’).
Folks have to see that millions watch his show. Some of those viewers do not read articles at the Treehouse, they do not watch videos at theduran.com, they do not listen to The WarRoom.
Tucker lays out the truth of what the regime is doing to this country…who else on national TV is able to boldly do the same?
If he goes, how do all those who don’t know the scoop like we do find out about it and understand it?
Why does Sundance frequently write analytical posts in support of Tucker’s show segments? Sundance is not bashing or discrediting Tucker, oh no. He realizes that Tucker is a truth-teller, an exposer of the rats running too much of this country.
I encourage folks to not shoot the messenger because his feet don’t perfectly fit the shoes you have for him.
Because Tucker works for Fox media.
And Fox media is getting you to trust it by letting you listen to Tucker.
It’s the ancient con game that con men have used for millenia.
It’s called a “con” because it involves getting your CONFIDENCE that you can trust someone.
So, you say the right things, you even do the right things . . . but the candidate or the media network will ALWAYS do what the money backers desire for the big decisions.
Then people say, “He betrayed us!”
No, you were conned. He was always working for the globalist Fox media corporation.
Lol. It’s funny how you think that someone with that high of a following has no power. Has it ever occurred to you that maybe Fox News is dying and their only draw is Tucker Carlson? And as a result he has more leverage then you think he does. Did you feel the same way about Rush Limbaugh?
Money talks and Tucker makes them a lot of money. It’s about picking and choosing battles. Despite all Tucker does he isn’t a threat and never will be. His job is to inform it’s your job to act upon the information he gives you. As long as Republicans refuse to act he will stay right where he is. It’s not on Tucker it’s on you…always has been.
you people are nuts
Tucker is not going to name the J**
duh
So what? As long as what he’s saying is true and is helpful to taking back our Republic, he could work for cnn or msnbc and I wouldn’t care. I’m not forced to watch anything else on that network.
OK … What do you think he should do?
If we know the con, then we don’t fall for it. That doesn’t mean we can’t play along for our own benefit.
I will suggest people to watch Tucker but forget the rest of them.
Thank you, aDoozy. We cut the cord so I didn’t see that.
I think Fox doesn’t want to cut their own throat by silencing him, though I doubt seriously anyone could. I do listen to him when he is posted. So far I see nothing that to me seems like controlled opposition, and I do listen very closely.
But the truth for me is, I trust no one. I stand on the sidelines and listen and watch….and wait. Too many disappointments by people who were entirely plausible. Who claimed they were what they ended up not being, with no hint that they were playing us false. I hope Tucker is what he plays on television. He has spoken some obvious truths. Dare I say time will tell?
I like Tucker. I don’t have to agree with everything he says, or not watch him because of what he DOESN’T talk about. If not talking about something is the criteria for not watching / reading someone then I would have to be a hermit. And just because I watch him and he is on FOX, doesn’t mean I watch any of the other programs on FOX.
We need all the help we can get to spread the word. Until he is silenced, I will encourage people to watch him. Especially people who don’t read or have access to other outlets to hear the truth. For instance, older people who don’t do internet. (Lots of JFK democrats for instance, like my mother!) At least Tucker is more easily accessible to the masses.
I don’t care,at this point, if Fox makes money off of him. As pointed out by others, that also puts Tucker in a position of power within Fox. I say use it until it can’t be used anymore.
He always throws elections. He’s a commie-Dem, China shill.
The Mocking Bird is the only thing missing from that picture.
Trying to explain this to people is exhausting. I appreciate the clear articulation. Now, what do we do about it?
Thx!
My experience (stated below) is the same.
What do we do about it?
Copy this article. Create a PDF. Print it, share it, and send it out by email. Add the message . . . See, I’ve been telling you this very same thing and this article I have attached supports what I have been telling you.
It’s the Pelosi smear (tactic) used against them.
BTW — Not all states have this committeemen system. Virginia does not.
I’m sure there’s something similar. Why don’t you find out and let us know??
“The club can accept or deny membership for any person who wants to run for political office. The RNC and DNC clubs essentially select the politicians. There is nothing within this process that is even remotely democratic, representative or even visible in the framework of the U.S. Constitution.”
I have told anyone who will listen, very similar and I just get blank stares.
That is why I tell anyone will will listen that any change of the Republican Party must start at the local and state level. But that is NOT as easy as it sounds because the RNC controls State Republican Chapters to prevent insurgent patriots such as Tea Party and MAGA reformers from gaining leadership positions.
I still think a truly SECOND party (apart and distinct from the Republican Party) is the way to go.
IMO, medium term, it is the only way to go. That said, unless President Trump himself funds and starts it and leaves most of his wealth to it when he moves “ upstairs”, it will never happen.
There isn’t a single other billionaire even remotely interested in America first.
Even if by some miracle we took over the Republican apparatus, it would fail medium term because all the financial backers would just stop backing it, and it would be no different than any other start up, ineffective party. It would just be a legacy name, but not the GOP.
That’s not true! We CAN raise enough to function well, but we Deplorables can do it, IF WE GIVE. If it’s OUR PARTY, WE MUST OWN IT…Tend it, nurture it, maintain it, pay for it, and guard it.
There’s no sense in believing that such an endeavor will not be costly, and the lure to power is like a sickness to some. Irresistible, intoxicating. Needs constant monitoring.
If you really want to try this, it would be better to see if an existing party, like the Constitution Party, would be willing to let us buy it, given that we don’t sully the purpose of its charter. The important thing is that it have structure in every state.
But it’s going to take work, vigilance. And MONEY. And don’t you think it’s a bit greedy of you to expect P. Trump to found it, run it, and pay for it??
Why do you expect SOMEONE ELSE TO GIVE HIS MONEY? Hasn’t he already done enough?? You expect him to give his lifetime fortune to this work? Why isn’t there a pledge FROM YOU, to invest YOUR MONEY?
It will never be a success with an attitude like that. People like you want everyone else to do all the work. Doomed to failure. It’s why we’re losing now. And in my years in politics, people like you come and go. You’re never the ones that bear the burden.

My $64,000.00 question is: How do we get rid of Ronna Romney McDaniel as the head of the RNC?
Club or no, it would be a start and send a message.
Several male dancers, chocolates and wine.
Have you joined your local GOP chapter yet?
I agree. I’ve seen how the PA GOP works, and it’s incredibly hard for an outsider to be part of it. My brother was a Trump delegate twice. But at this point, he seems to have become a RINO to survive in the party.
Also, not all America First voters are Republicans. I’m not. I’m Independent, and only joined the Republican party temporarily to vote for Trump. With what I know of the party in PA, there is no way I’d want to be involved.
I quit being a “Republican” a few years back. I am a conservative, in point of fact, a Paleo-conservative; or if you prefer, a MAGA conservative.
It was a sickening revelation when de santis was meetimg with ultra rich in California a couple of months ago in secret. His wife here at a luncheon and out he comes. It is right there , and recently a major ROP event, big time deep state going for de santis. It is fixed
Me, too! For years.
I was in the 1992 class of the ones who ran, won, and was stymied at every turn. If I had felt that my conservative colleagues would stand with me, I would have gone on, because the strategy and goals those 30 years ago were the same as the Precinct Strategy now.
We need “spies”, those who can fake being a squish instead of MAGA, IN EVERY COUNTY. Think of it as “Washington’s Spies”.
It is, after all, WAR.
You speak so much truth- Most politicians don’t care about the country.
Makes me sick! Ambition above country, he can go f… himself!
Hence the strongest argument for a new club with different operating rules. I don’t think one can be started until the current corruption can be neutralized, otherwise they will eliminate any new guys on the block.
We need a new country. It’s that simple. The one we’re in cannot be salvaged.
While very unpopular, I agree with you. We need a “do over” and not with the current “leaders”.
Draino & bleach! I’m sure the labels say ‘Don’t mix’ but this is an emergency!
Should DJT decide to run in 2024 (highly likely IMO), DeSantis would be a fool to run against him. I do not think he is that fool.
Don’t be so sure that Desantis isn’t the insurance policy….
We shall see, won’t we? I like DeSantis, but you never know the true character of a man until the thing you were hoping they would or wouldn’t do happens.
We can pray for Ron DeSantis.
Do!
There isn’t anything they won’t do to keep Trump out of office. Including removing him from the planet.
As @Sundance would say – There are Trillions at Risk!
(not to mention keeping 98% of DC out of prison!)
Kinda like Liz Chaney isnt a fool,,, maybe Lincoln spirit will prevail
Unless the idea is that the RNC club forces President Trump to pick DeSantis as his Vice President.
Sort of like how Trump was forced to choose Pence for his first term and Reagan was forced to choose Bush Sr. as well.
I agree, David. I am positive DeSantis wold not run against him.
DeSantis will do what his globalist Koch brother backers tell him to do.
I’m not so sure. DeSantis will win his reelection this fall, and then he is term limited as governor.
He doesn’t need the Koch money if he decides to not run against Trump, as he can’t run again for governor in any case.
If DeSantis throws his hat in the ring for President just 2 months after getting re-elected governor then we know exactly who and what he is.
I’m neither a DeSantis hater nor lover, I’m neutral. But I’m convinced, based on what I’ve read about his recent movements, he’s thinking of running. He’s definitely testing the waters.
Well said. Bears watching.
One common feature of committed politicians is that they are fooled by their own insatiable lust for office. It overshadows everything else.
It will, be a test of character.
“The UniParty agenda, the origin of the crap that we see surface in a toxically corrupt federal government, starts IN YOUR STATE.”
The cognitive dissonance of voters on this issue is no clearer than in the fact that Congress has maintained below 50% approval ratings and above 85% re-election rates for decades.
Voters complain about Congress and then re-elect the same people to Congress over and over and over. The problem is perceived as being in another district, another state, another region of the country when in fact it starts at the school board meeting down the street and the town hall five minutes away.
NY State’s UNiparty has stopped pretending altogether. Almost every local candidate on the 2020 ballot ran under every single party designation. Nobody stood apart except for a couple of Green Party candidates.
Same with the lawn signs. None of the candidates displayed their party affiliations. And on the early voting days, there were (previously unheard of) lines around the block.
No way in hell did Let’s Go Brandon win that election!
In the last several years here in Texas i noticed signs without party affiliation s. The democrap lawyers also fought against putting it on voting ballots.
BarrASSo is the next uniparty decepticon on our WY chopping block. Your turn is coming soon lummis.
Yes. Please!
And those 2 clubs not only conspire together in many cases, they conspire to delegate third parties to lever C or lower. Most people only have the attention span to pull lever A or B thus a third party is doomed right from the start. Where I used to live the County Clerk who was a criminal Democrat party member of one of the most gangster Democrat county organizations in America with over 600 million dollars in debt (we are talking County here) made sure Democrats & Republicans got A or B. This takes place in the vast majority of states/counties in America.
I just found the treehouse this year, so maybe this is covered in past discussions, but given that all of the above is true, how did Trump ever win? And how do MAGA candidates ever win?
It is believed that the amount of votes he got actually swamped the cheat system that has been in place for a long time. They got caught in 2020 because their cheat had to be so big to surpass the votes PDJT actually got.
I watched the 1996 primaries and knew the system was rigged
Because they thought he couldn’t possibly win so the cheat wasn’t fixed but boy were they ready in 2020. Trump only God can prevent him from being destroyed.
Yup. They believed their own propaganda polls and didn’t adjust the percentage of votes by enough.
When voters don’t show up, their vote becomes ‘available’ to stuff the box. That’s how they ‘win’. So we MUST use our votes.
And maybe some divine assistance.
Trump won because they didn’t cheat enough for Hilary. They cheated too much for Biden, and made it VERY obvious.
Remember how they paused the vote counting in PA for HOURS looking for Hillary votes but couldn’t find any?
I agree with Colkitto.
He won because he’s the first person since maybe JFK or Regan that appeared to be FOR the people.
Trump got more votes than anyone in history in this country. People woke up and got off the couch!
Their cheat system was overwhelmed, which caused them to make massive mistakes, and they were caught red-handed.
Trump should be in the White House right now and we all know it and we’re pissed off beyond belief.
Now that we know how their cheating works, people are volunteering to be poll watchers and drop box watchers, etc etc etc
Slainte to you, Kathleen, Bet and everyone else here who discerns the truth through the gaslights of the enemedia (credit to Judith)
Always make sure to have watchers in cars, to surreptitiously follow the ballot pickup trucks to take the ballots to the counting place…To make sure they don’t make an interim stop and “enhance” their ballot load.
Not enough cheating in 2016. Hillary believed the fake polls, the dems miscalculated the difference, and there was no plan to stop the counting and dump- in tons of fake ballots. They were better prepared in 2020, but grossly obvious. And they were ready to block all mechanisms of re-dress.
Sheila, welcome! Bring some friends over!
I wish someone would ask DeSantis who’s advising him not to mention Trump by name.
McConnell
From the Federalists Papers #10 ” By a faction, I understand a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or a minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adversed to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community.
There are two methods of curing the mischiefs of faction: the one, by removing its causes; the other, by controlling its effects.”
https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/fed10.asp
One of my favorite Federalist Papers. If only our reps would read them, and comprise a solution from their wise words.
Good grief just seeing these pics and reading the copy make me feel like a fool. Talk about being blind and now I see. No wonder we are where we are at these days. The powers have been good at deception. Their arrogance is breath taking and rhey are evil to plot all the time. So sick of the plots.
Btw, getting people in my orbit to see the new and “bought off” Desantis is gonna be another up hill climb. I am sure that aspect was thought out also.
Little truth bombs help with no accusations or long arguments.
It’s been painful for me to recognize all the decepticons. I am no longer naive.
Some people are always a day late and a trillion dollars short. They just can’t think their way out of that ENEmedia box.
Only when the failures hit them right between the eyes do they ever seem to notice. And, if the ENEmedia has any say in it, sometimes not even then.
I’m tired of always playing on our heels in defense. We need a solid line of offense, and we need it NOW.
Well put. I reached that conclusion after the 1996 primaries steal
Agreed! Without the tether of the Constitution to anchor their lawmaking, they can justify ANYTHING.
And they do.
Don’t rush to judgment on DeSantis. He is doing great serving the citizens in FL.
He has not come out to say he will run for POTUS in 2024. And I am positive he will NOT, unless, and only unless Trump does not run.
He is very busy working for his State of FL and he is NOT disappointing them.
try to see the forest through the trees
You can’t find a better one to explain than Sundance.
we always trusted the media and thought the republican
party was doing our bidding LOL!
Ted Cruz….Harvard Law….. Ron DeSantis…Harvard Law…..Ben Shapiro…..Harvard Law…….Lawyers have destroyed our Republic……Obviously I’m not speaking about all Lawyers(Private sector)…However, Politician Lawyers, Lawfare Lawyers and unelected Bureaucrat Lawyers have 100% destroyed our Republic…..
The recent Mar-Largo ‘Illegal’ raid was committed and allowed by…You guessed it ….corrupt Lawyers and a corrupt, complicit Judiciary that allows the vast corruption to continue unabated…..
The Licensing Class – MD’s and JD’s – are the vanguardist gatekeepers for the owning class. Back in the day the lawyers and doctors were sort of upper middle class types in that they were partially middle class although more in line with the upper class. By the 1990’s they simply became part of the upper caste and class. There is no appealing to any power higher than them. They answer only to themselves, not to any lowly peons who might question or challenge their diktats.
Rather then focus on the commonality of law degree, consider where they got them.
If I’m not mistaken a historical majority of all the Congressmen, Federal Judges and bureaucrats all were Harvard or Yale. And many of the rest were still Ivy League graduates.
Elitists.
The Lawyers Assoc. is a left wing entity and would venture to say most lawyers are also leftist. All the ones I worked for with the exception of TWO were. If you have a democrat governor, rest assured they only appoint democrat lawyers to the bench.
This is exactly why I will NEVER donate to the RNC again! I will donate directly to Trump and whoever he endorses. Starve the treasonous RNC uni party beast!
Yes, I wish there was some sort of MAGA national committee that we could donate to and that would get the money to MAGA candidates- I refuse to give to the RNC because they were in on the steal and they are trying to sabotage the election. Snakes!!!
The sweet family pic…they all wear blue?
I was and remain skeptical of Mr. DeSantis. He needs to really put himself out there and take a few risks…and take “one for the team, the Maga Team”, IMHO.
I pay taxes to FL so I get it. Time will tell, for me. But I am just me, just one. I understand how a lot of all y’all feel and respect that, too.
We had the sane type of situation brewing here in Georgia awhile back.
The “too good to be true” candidate that was saying what everyone was wanting to hear.
DeSantis is getting the things done *(currently) that people are wanting to happen.
Judging from past history, and evidenced by what pool he’s swimming in, DeSantis will
immediately CEASE doing anything useful as soon as he advances up the latter. Paul Ryan
would be the one he would most likely emulate.
As to the “too good to be true” candidate from our state?
That would be Vernon Jones. The posters on CTH who were pushing him never had to
live with him in charge of things. Our county did. The dude was toxic. Lately, he’s gotten
good at saying what people want to hear. I doubt that he would act upon any of it. The
dude was pretty much a sociopath when in office here, for anyone that wanted to do some
digging.
‘As to the “too good to be true” candidate from our state?’ – Your Tour Guide
Oh man, you had me going.
Thought you meant James Earl Carter … 🙂
Jim H:
To quote Teddy Roosevelt’s daughter:
“If you have nothing good to say about somebody, come sit by me”
Carter: Back in the day, after he was governor had an entire TOWN demolished
so that they could build an airport runway. Which never happened. Carter and the
mayor of said town had a pissing match, and Carter won.
I know this one because I used to work with a former cop from the town that no
longer exists.
Carter, when he had family to dos, would checks how all the relatives voted beforehand.
He would put all the Republicans out in the hinterlands.
Carter was always going on. And on. And on. About Habitat homes. What I’ve heard is
that he would take one swing with the hammer ( for the cameras), then go do whatever.
But, mostly, I loathe Carter because the guy has one M.O. He always bitches about things,
( always with a political motive behind it, once you read the tea leaves), but he NEVER has
any alternative plan in any way, shape, or form. The man exists to rag on the opposition.
And that’s it.
It is getting tiresome (for me) to keep hearing “take downs” of Gov DeSantis. He is an awesome Governor, and every other State’s citizens wishes he were their Governor.
only Illinois
I wish I had a Governor even close to how DeSantis runs his State. He is “out there” doing what he can to be re-elected this November. Jeez… Give the guy a break.
DeSantis looks really good because he has a legislature that passes him good legislation.
Without that, what would he do? We don’t know.
THIS.
It is a sweet photo of the family. Perhaps blue is a favorite color. I wouldn’t read anything into it.
We will all have a keen eye on the actions of the GOPe and Gov. DeSantis over the next years.
At the same time, be thankful for the good he does for Florida.
I wish we had him here in Wisconsin, instead of Tony Evers.
‘The sweet family pic…they all wear blue?’ – Aggiegirl
Well, almost all. Mom wears a pale yellow shirt.
The Desantises stand with Ukraine! 🙂
I understand the concern that Desantis might turn into an RNC club type. However, I currently have him at #2 among my choices for 2024 Republican nominee, after President Trump. I feel it’s a little early to start stomping all over Desantis based on a possible future betrayal. He is one of a very few Republicans at the federal or state level who has taken consistent steps against vaccine crazies, trans groomers, out of control school boards and other officials who ignore the law. He has been better than Noem, Abbott, and numerous other Republican governors.
If President Trump for some reason can’t run, be it for health or other reasons, we are going to need a candidate other than Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, and other club republicans. I don’t want to be in the position of needing to backpedal after badmouthing Desantis, if we later need him as a viable candidate. As for whether Desantis will be a turncoat, time will tell.
You read what Sundance just wrote and you still write what you just wrote, please wake up.
I am wide awake. I have been reading this blog for years now and I appreciate what Sundance brings to the table, absolutely. But if President Trump can’t or won’t run in 2024, who is your guy? I follow the potential candidates closely to see if they are taking uniparty positions, and I just have not seen that with Desantis yet.
And good lord if you want to criticize someone don’t do it on the way they dress or present their families. I don’t think I have ever seen a politician post a photo of the politician beating his wife and kids; everyone likes to show off the best of their families. Pictures with the family are hardly evidence of being a club republican, nor is “wearing pastels”. What would make Desantis look more authentic? Drinking beer and wearing a sweaty wife beater? Or just no photos allows for Ron?
I am wide awake, too, Paladin.
I have been reading at the Treehouse for years, as you have. I trust what Sundance posts.
I looked at the DeSantis photo and saw a happy and now-healthy growing family. I don’t care what color clothes they are wearing, but I do notice they are all clean and tidy.
Why do I want to get myself all riled up and angry over looking for messaging in a cute toddler?
obtuse
its posters like this who make me want to throw my laptop through the window
Ask him what he would do about BBB
If Desantis were president now instead of Biden, there would be no BBB. No “Green New Deal” rip-off legislation. No 87,000 new IRS agents. No forced vaccination programs. A more secure border. No executive orders forcing trans ideology on schools. I could go on, but in short we would not have
these bad policies. Of course all of this could uave been avoided if Biden had not been installed and President Trump was still in office. I will vote for President Trump again if he runs, but if he does not run, who do you turn to?
There has to be a Plan B. Your opinion may vary as to “who” is Plan B, but stomping on a viable Plan B due to a possible future betrayal just seems like an own-goal.
I notice that NO ONE ever answers, if not PDJT, then who. Must be nice just throwing tomatoes from the cheap seats.
DeSantis is most effective right where he is at the state level. For this reason he will be yanked away from Florida to create a wedge between MAGA voters at the national level.
We do not -and should not- accept any Republican candidates besides our indefatigable MAGA warrior, President Donald John Trump.
Exactly. I like DeSantis right where he is. And I am sure AG & other Florida treepers want him to stay there for now.
Thank you, Paladin!!! A thousand kudos to you. This nonsense spewing DeSantis as a fake is premature nonsense. We all know every MAGA citizen in every State wishes he/she had DeSantis as their Governor.
Paladin, I agree with you.
I am going to watch Gov. DeSantis closely with my now-educated eye.
I am going to pray for him.
There are a lot of big stinkers in the Dem and Rep party that would take this country down for a purse or pocket full of cash and fistfuls of power.
Flags are up, but the verdict is not in and final on this man.
Texan here. Abbott isn’t the best, but he isn’t the worst either. But his AG Paxton is a bulldog and fights like hell with lawsuits. I think that is part of Abbott’s doing. So much of the war is between lawyers so I think it’s an important aspect.
I reserve my feelings about DeSantis because the legislature is all on his side. That can make anyone’s job easier. And, it’s good for Florida right now. Get it while the getting is good!
If you click on the link, you will see a picture of a woman who called herself “Republican”. Now this very wealthy woman who had zero Environmental science knowledge was made head of the EPA by Bush and when the 9/11 treason occurred she stated as EPA head that Respirators not be mandatory for 9/11 responders which ended up killing tens of thousands of our fellow Americans. You would think she would have a conscious, but no, the Globalists who hate PDJT & America, trot her out from time to time to disparage PDJT, where any decent person would at least hang their head in shame and work to help the family’s she destroyed. These people are not saviors they are monsters
Group of Republicans and Democrats form new political party to appeal to moderates
https://www.cbs58.com/news/group-of-republicans-and-democrats-form-new-political-party-to-appeal-to-moderates
Can you name the woman????
Christine Todd Whitman, who despises Trump, yet has tens of thousands of dead and sick & suffering Americans and their families blood on her hands. She is one of the most reprehensible people alive on this planet.
Much has been said about the benefits and drawbacks of starting a third party. Maybe it would be called the America First Party.
The national committee for this third party might be the ‘AFNC’ which would of course be an incorporated organization with its headquarters in Washington DC.
Is there any reason not to believe that over some relatively short period of time, the people who run the AFNC would not become just as corrupt and swampified as those people who now run the RNC and the DNC?
Third Parties are stuck with lever C or lower plus Enemedia Alinsky attacks. No chance nationwide.
Locally, possibly a state like Jesse Ventura did,maybe. But the county clerk in most instances is going to give lever pull slot/ballot placement A & B to the Hegelian Dialectic team A or team B. The large majority of people will not have the attention span to go below A or B.
Use the local R or D yourself. Form a group yourself, join or start a local Tea Party. I know of a guy who ran as a Democrat himself and took the Democrat Congressional candidate seat. It caused all kinds of mayhem for the system.
still have to say at least DeSantis is a US Citizen and an eligible candidate even if he is misguided in his priorities……Cruz needs a serious deep enema by TPTB and deportation no matter his politics…….we simply cannot have pretenders serving in official capacities in our government
For anyone that can get a copy of it,
locate the book
“The Last Hurrah” by Edwin O’Connor.
Two of the last articles posted by Sundance have (probably)
unintentional tie ins to characters in the book. Also, it’s a
terrific read. Funny as hell.
Yesterday’s piece about Stetler reminded me of the idiot son
that the corrupt son used to blackmail an enemy
“He possessed an air of faint boobery”
The other part about the guy’s character? A bad lisp.
“Sailing prinsibally, in a simply superb sloop”
Skeffington, the principal person used this guy against his
enemy by offering him the job of city fire marshall. Tricking
him by thinking he’d be the one that rode on the engine and rang
the bell when fires occurred. Knowing that this would make his
enemy look like an idiot.
The campaign was run at the end, like the Norman Rockwell painting
Sundance mentioned. Only with a rented dog that scampered onto camera,
and a baby that they picked up to frame the diaper on camera.
I live in Texas and would take Cruz any day of the week over Butthole O’Dork. Where I might not support Cruz in the primary, not voting for him the general election is not an option as his D-Rat opponent is far worse.
If you ever played draw poker you learn to play the hand you are dealt if you have a chance to win, never try to fill an inside straight.
These pictures make me want to throw up. Especially the top one given what we know about both Cruz parents. That being said, I’m not sure this appeals to a whole lot of voters these days – not enough to beat Trump in a primary.
Remember what he did to the very nice genuine human being named Dr Carson? Remember what he did to PDJT at the RNC? His wife has some shady connections. Yes he has done some good things, but he is a weasel
it would be nice if you attach links for those who don’t remember
DeSantis’ family IS Norman Rockwell and has been since he ran here in Florida for Congress 9 yrs ago.
There is NO written or oral statement from him or his campaign even hinting at a ’24 run so all this consternation, er attack, on him and his being is premature and lacking evidence. Could it happen? Sure, If Trump keeled over from a heart attack, then what other choice would Conservatives have?
Mike Davis (Neil Gorsuch’ former Law Clerk) on Dem attack on Trump45
1. President Trump had the constitutional power to declassify any record he wanted, per Supreme Court’s 1988 decision in Navy v. Egan.
2. And he had the sole statutory authority to determine what was presidential v. personal record, per 2012 DC District Court ruling.
Game over.
Let me know when the Dems put up their man for Fl.
Eating our own I see once again. Yea, we get it – we all support Trump – no doubt and “if” he chooses to run – hope to God he does then why even discuss driving wedges between those who’s support we want/need to win? I understand the divide and conquer method in the primary to defeat those who may run in the opposite direction when push comes to shove but “if” Trump decides to run – he has no relevant threat to the nomination and wining a 3rd election from anyone on both sides – as long as we work our tails off like we did in 2020. The only way to stop Trump is to put him in jail but even that may not work….lol….
I guarantee if he was in jail WV would still vote him in.
wv gal here … Trump Girl….Deal with It flag STILL flies in my landscaping
You always copper your bet,
“but “if” Trump decides to run”
Explains precisely why President Trump needs to be taken out of the running for 2024 via a false felony conviction!!! It must be done to allow club members DeSantis, Noem, Haley to run openly without interference from President Trump! Club members will maintain the status quo and not take on the corrupt deep state swamp but President Trump will he’s not a politician! President Trump isn’t a member, has no standing in the club and is basically despised by the club. But President Trump is loved by us We The People who want America First! The club wants America last that’s when they have the most influence, power and money aka corruption!!! Godspeed President Trump!
DeSantis is loved by Most Of Florida. And yes not many alternatives if Trump doesn’t run which he will unless something changes.. God Forbid. We would calm down if DeSantis would praise Trump, say his name and see the two of them being “buddies” but it isn’t happening.
we are smart enough to see it and after pence, there is little patience for another Judas. Maybe see Mike Pampeo running as VP? He seems to be in the pic a lot but don’t think he is a back stabber. Or an opportunist. DeSantis is on a slippery slope and with all his planned rallies coming up ……
Can’t remember where I heard it, but the buz was Pompeo might run for president.
“I sold my soul to the company store”.
“Not I”, said me. ✝️
DeSantis has done some great things here in FL. I have applauded every time he went after the left on a host of social and fiscal issues.
However, he has no foreign policy experience, and he has a conservative legislature rubber stamping his programs.
Most importantly, he needs money and backing by “the boys” to go any further. THAT is where the RNC comes in. Ultimately anyone needing their financial backing is compromised by definition.
except for some corrections around the edges he has left the 2020 election system IN place…..he may not be in danger of losing as a fair-haired boy of the establishment but those not toeing the line do
You’re aware PDJT actually won Florida, aren’t you? It was one of the first states to be called for PDJT. What is wrecked in Florida that needs fixing?
‘However, [DeSantis] has no foreign policy experience.’ – Sue
Yet DeSantis held his first state cabinet meeting in … Jerusalem.
Obviously he’d received a large dose of foreign policy indoctrination before he even decided to go there.
“However, he has no foreign policy experience”
So … you’re limiting plan B to the fruitcake Grenell, establishment Pompeo, or Nimrata Randhawa?
Who else is there that is serious and has foreign policy experience?
How much foreign policy experience did PDJT have before he took office?
Also, didn’t PDJT go to AIPAC during the campaign and give a wonderful speech? And now people are crapping on DeSantis for going to Jerusalem?
Those pix remind me of Dr.Oz in the grocery store.
Really embarrassed for them all.
We basically have a one party system with two self serving factions.
Once you see the truth….can’t unsee it
I first became exposed to this as a young teenager during the Goldwater campaign. My parents left the Eastern, Rockefeller wing of the party to support the Western, more libertarian wing of the party and I still support those values to this day even if I detest the actual GOP establishment and everything about them that Sundance so eloquently articulated. Superb article!
I will vote for Ron DeSantis if/when Trump decides on his own not to run and endorses him. Otherwise I’m voting for Trump if I have to write his name myself on the 2024 ballot. If the GOP desires to be a viable political party who still wants to win elections, they will not pit them against each other. It’s a monumentally stupid idea and it will backfire on them.
me too…I will write in Donald J Trump
“Freedom is understanding the forces that control us.”
–BF Skinner
“…origin of the feces…”
I’m going to steal that.
Both are private clubs that answer to someone who bought them both out
then you add in the fact both clubs do not own the real power in this country
the 4th estate has much more control
and we all know who it is.
if it was in the clubs best interest to serve the people
it would choose that path instead but it serves the 4th estate
and their puppet masters instead.
what a cluster
How the Council on Foreign Relations Controls Conservative Republicans
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2012/09/gary-north/how-the-council-on-foreign-relations-controls-conservative-republicans/
We are approiximately 100 Million Plus in America today, perhaps even more as we are growing day by day. One Man isn’t going to fix all of these problems. However if all of us, We The People, We The Patriots, were to do just ONE THING everyday to Help Make America Great Again, Then We Have a Fighting Chance. It’s OUR GUBMINT, NOT THEIRS… THEY WORK FOR US!! VIOLENCE Cival War is What they Want so they can plead Victim Status and request the United Nations to Intervene. Thhat’s Their Plan. We can beat them Souundly just by showing up to VOTE. We have GOT THIS AMERICA!!
So many facts within you post that I know from my years as a Democrat and now republican.
—Remember so well how the DNC told us Democrats in 2008 that they choose the candidates for the ticket, not the registered Democrats in the primary.
Same holds true for the GOP, just that it took longer for it to come out, or rather made clearer due to Trump. If not for Trump, many would still think the GOP was on the up and up.
DeSantis just threw hats in the crowd starting the Turning Point rally for Mastriano in Pittsburgh …
As DeSantis is on stage stumping for Mastriano in Pittsburgh, Trump announces a PA rally for Mastriano/Oz on Sept. 3 in Scranton
” Focus on values. Schools, kids, safety, woke pushback, media bias etc,…” Sundance noted, about Desantis.
Well, duh, that is called good Governing, the envy of the other 49 States.
DeSantis is doing an excellent job for his State, as Governor.
He has not said he is running against POTUS Trump, and I am positive he won’t.
Let’s not get our collective panties in a twist pre-emptively.
Beware of Beck and let’s put Prager right there along with multitudes of other talk show host’s. Their aim is to push the feel good issues, tranny, monkey pox, and assorted curves while never getting into the weeds. Hannity, Ingram , Shaperio, Kilmead are basically talking the same thing. Listen in. You will pick up on it right away. I’ve been listening to all of them since Rushes first show. So greatful for the Treehouse.
“Hannity, Ingraham , Shapiro, Kilmead …”
I listen to none of the above. None of them can feign any credibility anymore.
Kilmeade is a GENUINE FAKE. Watch him on Fox & Friends in the early mornings. All he does is stare into the cameras with a fake grin on his slappable face, and make many dumb comments. For instance, for over a week, he was “admonishing his TV viewers to “get dressed”, time to get dressed, then “okay, get dressed casually” … he is a creepy dude who thinks he is important. He adds nothing to the conversation.
Tara Servantis. The female now version of Pat Buchanan
D-Rats and the R-Cons insist they get to select the candidates as they always have and will fight like hell to prevent the Citizens from having a say in the matter. Kinda like the old tv rassling matches all scripted and choreographed to put on show for the people so they can cheer for their champion. It was pretty much all fake, but people bought into it.
They get really angry if you don’t buy into their orchestrated bullshit.
At the end of the day they let you participate in a referendum on their choices.
I haven’t stopped laughing since Beck called Lyin’ Ted the next George Washington.
I never liked Beck. Imo. he never seemed authentic. Thought of him as just another one seeking fame and fortune based on which way the wind was blowing.
Ted Cruz has been dead to me since 2016. I will NEVER vote for him for any political office.
not legitimate anyway…..CANADIAN citizen
well they were both non-American citizens….the parallels stop there however
Face in a bowl of Cheetos…all you need to know.
Beck’s two radio sidekicks are just slugs. I haven’t heard him on radio in years but I have a good memory.
President Trump O Nada!!!
George Washington was right.
https://www.georgewashington.org/farewell-address.jsp
I feel bad picking on De Santi’s just before his reelection. Look at all the good stuff he has done. He’s a professional and served in the House before. He knows the rules like you point out but he goes ahead and accomplishes tons of things. Not the typical RINO
Yeah, I felt that way. So keep him in the governor’s mansion and out of the White House.
At least until after Trump’s next term in the WH. I still like DeSantis too but I will not stand for him being replaced by the GOP leadership and so called conservative media.
Voted for TPP while in the house.
Yep.
You ay remember, in 2016, when Jared Beck sued the DNC, regarding the possibility that Bernie Sanders should have actually been the DNC candidate. At that trial, the DNC advised, just as Sundance is doing here, that they are a private corporation and essentially can put forward any candidate that they wish, regardless of public preference.
Same thing happened in 2008 — Hillary won the primary–
DNC literally told the registered Democrats voting in 2008 that their primary votes didn’t matter. DNC said they could put whomever they wanted on the November ticket.
Any that remembers 2016, you know that GOP was doing all it could to keep Trump off the November ticket.
Great point. Rumor was Seth Rich was a Sanders backer and knew the Primaries were stolen from him as Donna Brazile said. So he was the one who gave Assange the exposure of the criminal/traitorous/luciferian DNC. And he was made an example of as pedo Podesta alluded to
A crime the “authorities” will never solve
