While appearing with Neil Cavuto to discuss the 2024 election and other matters, Jeb Bush stated Florida Governor Ron DeSantis “will be a formidable candidate in 2024.” {Direct Rumble Link}
Jeb!, the failed 2016 GOPe club insider, is famous for representing the more acceptable side of the Republican party apparatus, and like former House Speaker Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush has high praise for the Florida governor describing himself as a “Ron DeSantis fan.”
Bush told Cavuto in the interview Thursday that if DeSantis runs, “he will be a competitive contender for a number of reasons.” Adding, “the main reason I support Ron DeSantis is because of how well he has run my own state. He has done a great job as governor.” WATCH:
.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis continues to assemble a considerable amount of support from the institutional political class within the GOP. Combined with a $200+ million war chest from major professional donors including several Wall Street multinationals, billionaires and hedge fund managers, the enticement to run must be very alluring.
As previously noted, the network, branding consultants and conscripted media support -including Fox News- are all in place. Will the DeSantis decision be a redo of Ted Cruz’s self-destructive 2016 RNC convention speech decision? Or is DeSantis smart enough to push the professional beltway advisors back and retain an independent ability to control his own political future?
We shall see…
We could easily see Jeb 2.666! gather $300 million pre-state #1.
RDS would be huge improvement over Jeb! and his $120 million, and RDS would last several states longer.
But he’s still peeing into Ian’s wind without PDJT’s endorsement and 2nd term first…
IF DeSantis were to run against Trump in 2024, then I am voting for Kari Lake for President in 2028. Should DeSantis wait in line in 2024, he probably still would not get my vote in 2028.
I can see Trump selecting Lake as his running mate in ’24. She would then have the inside track to the presidency in the next cycle. And a GREAT VP she would be!
MAGA!
I’ve already decided that I will not vote for DeSantis in any GOP primary, regardless of Trump’s actions. If he ends up being the GOP nominee I’ll vote for him because a Dem President would be really bad. Even Jeb Bush as President would be better than any Dem President.
Jeb is a Democrat
They already have. We just were gaslighted into believing they were for us. No mas!
absolutely. wonder if jeb thinks this helps desantis.
it doesn’t.
It’s very funny, though!
Absolutely, this country needs one more globalist hack named Bush in the Oval Office.
Another loser.
Feckless Jeb says what?
Jeb: “what?”
I just want to say how very much I appreciate the quality of comments I find here at the CTH. I’m not a great or deep thinker and your comments educate me well beyond my depth of analysis.
You nailed it !!!!!
A MAGA voter following the advice/r endorsement of Jeb Bush?
Nope.
Without the MAGA base DeSantis goes no where.
Hey Ron, was the 2020 election stolen from us?
As Florida Governor, Jeb Bush murdered Terry Schiavo in 2005.
A woman suffering from traumatic brain injury, after being assaulted by her husband.
Jeb Bush claimed that since a Florida court decided to remove her feeding tube, he “couldn’t do anything”.
Complete BS.
He could have defied the court’s decision, send in a Florida National Guard Medical Team, and proclaimed her a ward of the state……
https://www.liveaction.org/news/terri-schiavo-died-food-water/
Yes. Thank you for that reminder of that dark time. Terry Schiavo’s story lives on. Jeb Bush is pathetic and disgusting and will certainly be held accountable when he exits this life.
what happened to the husband?
False Flag? Bushes are Democrats in Disguise. They are trying to split Trump and DeSantis. Don’t fall for it guys. Ignore tge Bushes’ endorsements just as we would ignore Schumer saying DeSantis would be a formidible candidate. They don’t want Trump but even more they donc want a united MAGA. This is right before the midterms when many MAGA candidates might win making Trump even more formidable whether he decides to run ir not. I implore everyon IGNORE this bozo
A data point that can be easily confirmed: This year Jeb Bush held a fund raiser for Ron in Coral Gables. Ron already had a huuuuge war chest so Ron definitely didn’t need more $$$ to win his bid to be Florida’s governor again.
Relevance? Rons an ambitious young career politician who’s been tempted by the MAGA despising Swamp demons. His political savvy is being tested.
Btw did Team Bush and CONservative Inc help Ron eke out a win 4 years ago or was that President Trump?
As a remineer, two weeks before the 2018 election Gilliam was ahead of Ron 54% to 42%.
I don’t even want to think about Gilliam being Governor when Ian hit.
It’s impudent and incorrect to even list DeSantis as on the same level as Trump. He’s not. He’s nipping at Trump’s ankles, at best.
I say he goes full Ted Cruz if he sees even the slightest weakness for Trump. And I think they will start rigging polls to show Trump losing popularity, and DeSantis will believe them after they’ve puffed up his ego.
Fortunately there is no need for anyone else to run in 2024 no matter what the Swamp does.
MAGA options:
Trump or Trump.
Father or son; Eric or Don.
Four more years or eight.
Exactly !!! If they succeed in stroking his ego into the stratosphere then the bloom will come off that rose. it all depends on how well he controls his ego. His best bet would be to wait until 2028 and win Trump’s full support along with a house & senate which will have a whole new look to it after 2 election cycles most likely GOP dominated.
JEB hanging onto RDS coattails……..
This is my reaction, Kat. RINOs like Jeb! want to ride a successful man’s coattails. ‘If Ron DS is popular, then maybe I can get in on some of the gravy pouring onto him.’
The RINO failures have nothing to offer from themselves, so they become leeches onto others.
Leeches and parasites on the MAGA/PATRIOT canidates. Remember that the UniParty is about the allure of riches and power.
Only by a strong faith in GOD are they the MAGA/PATRIOTS able to overcome those temptations.
I bet you called that one !
Poor DeSantis, it just gets worse and worse.
“More energy tonight, I like that.” — a great moment in 2016.
It amazes me how someone like Jeb Bush could hide away for such a long time and then come out of his cocoon in order to sing the high praises of DeSantis. All this praise done obviously so that “their people” can get first dibs in a new administration. And before you know it, the Bush clan has infiltrated another administration.
Well maybe the BUSH chapter of the UniParty.
Texas Bush People.
Send the Bush’s to Germany … where they belong
null cavity has as much intellectual capacity as beta o’dork. just another Fauxnews programmatron
“is DeSantis smart enough to push the professional beltway advisors back and retain an independent ability to control his own political future?”
The minute he got in bed with the swamp and took their money tells you all you need to know about Ron DeSantis and what comes next…… #StupidIsAsStupidDoes
Ron DeSantis took a totally disastrous catastrophe and made it, with the help of all of the wonderful men and women who work so hard to help him and you and us, into And amazing rescue and salvation. If he decides to run for president, he has my vote!
He certainly does take care of the residents of his state.
And now he is proclaiming that he and Florida will not succumb to dangerous vaccine mandates for children.
Brave and bold, he is. And I listen not only to his words, but look at his actions.
I know everyone reading here will not share my opinion, but thank God I can still type my thoughts here, and not be sworn at or called disgusting names for doing so.
“Brave and bold” == doing what all of the other Republican governors are doing.
Thank goodness Ron is one of them.
It is your RIGHT to have & speak your opinion !!!!
Your vote won’t matter in the slightest. If he tries to skip in line, MAGA nation will bury and destroy him, forever.
You are correct. MAGA voters can more readily see the forest through
the trees than rinos. We do not want a politician who can be purchased
as president.
I’m not sure what his intentions are for 2024, but whatever he does I hope he does it in full cooperation with President Trump.
I see Maga voters as developing a VERY accurate BS meter for Rinos. I think and look at what they voted for as well as bills they got behind. . A couple more cycles and I think Maga will will have it down for spotting the phony Maga candidates and especially the incumbents
Get real all the work was done by the people not any damned politician !
I did give credit to the hard-working citizens who actually did the work. But you don’t seem to give much credit to those that lead, plan, design, and motivate. It takes everyone’s full effort.
This just exemplifies what Trump has been saying all along, that RINO’s do serve a useful purpose. And as long as you know exactly what they are and don’t delude yourselves into thinking they are something they’re not, then use them, by all means.
once again, DeSantis had little to do with it. Florida has been dealing with
hurricanes for decades. The plan is always in place, just waiting to be activated.
You’re a tough customer, Amjean.
But I live in Utah so what do I care. He has to prove to me that he isn’t going to be beholden to the Deep State establishment. If you racking up endorsements by Ryan and Bush, who you know want Pence so is just being used to split the vote, while building a huge war chest for yourself to use later, I doubt your sincerity.
The Establishment knows to get Pence they need to Trump and DeSantis to take each other out.
A swamp endorsement since 2012…
https://www.newsmax.com/Politics/desantis-bush-florida-congress/2012/09/27/id/457860/
DeSantis deployed as an “advisor” to a Navy seal commander.
Hmmm……
In addition, he attended the selected universities to be a future participant in the global “good old boys club.”
So it is sort of comparable to Tulsi Gabbard’s rise in the military and political office. Her tickets were punched minus the actual education, credentials, etc.
It also is reminiscent of Obama —where college records are missing or unavailable. (I put a lot of time into researching Obama’s background when he first ran for president.)
These people are scripted and created. Those who finance them and support them matter.
We have been repeatedly duped with sincere , political “actors” who can follow any path, any script, to appear palatable to the public.
Once they are elected, their ineffective bullshit (Trey Gowdy) or deliberate backstabbing (McCain, Eyepatch, etc.) becomes crystal clear.
I see some people here not stepping back and viewing a more nuanced perspective on some of these political actors.
Past affiliations matter. Financial backers matter.
Sketchy work histories matter.
Examine all the ingredients before you scarf down the next political enchilada.
Just like the COVID vaccine— after you take it — it’s too late —because now you’re screwed. You can’t “untake” it!
Oh boy! DeSantis is Jen endorsed? Speaks volumes, none good.
Not sure if that’s a good thing.
Desantis has to decide if he is deep state or NOT. If he is populist and MAGA then he will tell Jeb to shove it if not we will tell Ron to shove it. He has to decide
his actions indicate he has already decided
Bush’s “coveted endorsement”? By who of any consequence at this very late point would that be? Exclusive of the fact to begin with that Bush is a Fraud. A classic neocon blue blood of New England lineage whose day has come and gone for his dwindling ilk. And aside from this my instincts about DeDantis have been registering warnings since the NJ investor who also donates to the spectacular incompetent NY governor Hochul. More, DeSantis accomplishments would not have happened without the support of a friendly FL. State House and Senate – something Trump NEVER had, but accomplished nmore for the betterment of this Country than any in my lifetime including Reagan. Yes, it’s a vastly different game up north on the Acela corridor. It takes a true warrior to fight in that arena – one which Trump more than proved to be worthy of. I don’t like the way this is beginning to shape up.
A young man only in his forties, DeSantis’ political future hinges uniquely upon his ability to recognize the difference between a 4 and an 8.
KISS OF DEATH
Gee— I sure would love MaMa’s boy, Jebbie Bush to endorse me!
That will really seal the deal for DeSantis!
Please, crawl back under a rock with your family and friends — the Obamas and the Clintons. The public does not want to either see or hear you!
Based on this endorsement alone, I would NEVER consider DeSantis an option for the presidency. He is history as far as I am concerned.
Jen Bush the kiss of death. Even if Trump decides not to win I don’t like the direction DeSantis is going.
“Florida Governor Ron DeSantis continues to assemble a considerable amount of support from the institutional political class within the GOP. Combined with a $200+ million war chest from major professional donors including several Wall Street multinationals, billionaires and hedge fund managers, the enticement to run must be very alluring.”
Bottom line is there is NO WAY I’d support RDS for President in 2024 due to his accepting $$$ from the global cabal that only care about themselves and NOT Americans. Personally I don’t trust him beyond being the Governor of Florida.
If Trump runs, DeSantis will not participate in destroying the Republican Party by opposing him. Trumps 75 million voters won’t be supporting him if he does and he knows it.
what is interesting to me is that he could have easily won the coveted position
as VP under President Trump. However, he took the money. I guess we MAGA
voters should consider that we dodged a bullet. Best to find out now rather
than later as with Mike Pence.
Maybe that is Plan B for the Davos crowd…RDS as VP… remember in 1980 Bush was not on the radar of the GOP delegates and alternates even on day 1 of the convention…and yet he became VP…a delegate who was there told me most everyone left sick to their stomach
Remember, Ron DeSantis’s mission isn’t for him to actually win the presidency…..only to divide MAGA and keep Trump from winning.
The Deep State/Fourth Branch has probably offered him a shot in 2028 if he can run interference in 2024
Yes, wheel out the last remains of the family of Bush insurrectionists to tell us how live, vote and who to go to war with. Keep out of the Bushes. Smedly Butler would have a few things to say if the walls could talk.
The Trump debate takedown of Jeb was one of the greatest acts of mankind.
Everything is a Rich Man’s trick : JFK to 9/11 part 1 – YouTube
Some people need to just stay in the kitchen, stfu and make Guac.
I dunno, coveted, meh.
If President Trump can continue to sidestep what the Democrats keep throwing at him…. I have full confidence he will become President in ’24. The rest are amateurs… no one could accomplish what he has, he needs to finish what he’s started.
Neil poses an accusatory question attempting to impune Trump.
JEB! says, ‘yah, right, he did store the stuff in a bowling alley’.
So, Trump was right again, Neil?
The kiss of death!
We may think JEB! is washed up politically, the reality is Jeb is now the guy in the stands trying to get the crowd to do the wave… he’s telling the money that this is how we beat Trump… remember… trillions are at stake…
The Low Energy Jeb endorsement could be the kiss of death for DeSantis if he doesn’t get away from these RINOs. As a MAGA guy I would not vote for DeSantis if he becomes the tool of the RINOs.
DeSants must recognize a death knell when he hears one. Jeb isn’t worthy to carry his own ‘er, briefcase.
I don’t know or care who endorses RDS. My radar went full on GOPe on RDS and it is still blaring loud. FL has RDS and can keep him.
A nod from Jeb! is the MAGA kiss of death.
RINO’s who hate Trump all lining up behind DeSantis.
If Trump loses, these same RINO’s will stab DeSantis in the back immediately.
just a reminder…jeb bush was the original client for the russia collusion hoax story, but his campaign ended before it was completed. they passed it on to clinton who paid the final installments on the work.
Oh, TPTB are desperately pushing DeS as an alternative to 2024 PDJT. F’em all. That includes DeS if he decides to run.
I am waiting to hear his response to denying people their 2nd amend rights at his fundraiser.
I just have two words for this.
Shut up, Jeb.
DeSantis is part of the crown contingent, just like the bushes.
Well…anyone that the liberal democrat/ republican bunch selects will be a BIG NO for me. Trump/Lake 2024
