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…
Jeb! did nothing to stop the Pill Mills in South Florida from turning a quarter of the Country onto “chasing the dragon” with prescription painkillers. Zero. Zip. Nada.
Yes, watch The Pharmacist, which tells the tragic tale of a pharmacist who starts noticing that the government is leaving open all the pill mills, and neither the local or state government nor the FBI care that they stay open for years.
I lived it, ZB. Having chronic pain during the Oxycodone Tsunami was something to behold. Watching thousands of people with little to no pain gobbling and selling pills they had absolutely no business messing with filing in and out of the doctors office, shooting drugs in the parking lot with kids in the car. Pretty sick. None of the checks and balances of the fedgov were implemented to hinder the destruction in any way.
yes, and the unintended consequence is that people who really need
the pain meds are reluctant to take them along with doctors who are
hesitant or just plain won’t subscribe them.
I had Oxy the first week of my hip replacement surgery and am I glad
I did. It allowed me to be pain free so I could use my walker and do
most everything I normally do in my house.
Seriously? That FAT FRAUD Cavuto … NeverTrumper Cavuto had the irrelevant Jebidiah BushLeague on his program(s) ? Why? I thought Jeb was fly fishing in his $25k LL Bean outfit? On the family ranch in Jackson Hole?
Fox News gave Jeb the platform to spew this BS and to get them to pit against each other, apparently Desantis is somehow a bigger threat to Trump than the U.S. Government is. You don’t have to count on the Dems or the left to trash Desantis, it’s being done right here.
The Bush clan is not liked here so there will be the initial emotional reaction which will be followed by an honest review of DeSantis’ actions.
Being a “good” governor in a republican state =/= being a good President especially when we are at war with the humanity despising NWO and our survival is on the line.
A 43 year old Harvard educated lawyers skill set and talent stack =/= the skill set and talent stack needed to be our POTUS and Commander in Chief during our war to Save America so we can finish President Trumps visionary MAGA Project.
Once the war is won and President Trumps MAGA Project is completed then competent peace time maintain and manage Presidents will make sense but not now.
There’s the totality of DeSantis’ actions to consider.
I have not forgotten Ron’s silence on the raid of MAL. His silence on the matter of the egregious violation of PDJT’s rights negates his performance as guvnah for me. If DeSantis could not stand for PDJT’s rights he will not stand for mine.
Frankly, it’s a deal breaker. Just like my Reps failure to stand for the rights of J6 political prisoners is a deal breaker. Personally, I can’t cast a vote for either one of them to represent me or the country I love.
Jeb has been having fund raisers in Coral Gables for Ron despite Ron not needing money.
Jebs pro De Santis 2024 comments to Cavuto are not “off the cuff” nor were Paul Ryan’s comments to donors that Trump won’t be the 2024 candidate; it will be De Santis.
Fortunately, the Establishment Swamp schemers are wrong.
Hopefully Ron will be savvy enough to emulate Jimmy Stewarts iconic character, George, in Capras classic movie, “Its a Wonderful Life”. Hopefully young Ron will decide to stay in his home state of Florida rather than listening to the Establishment Old Man Potters trying to lure him into “make a difference” in the demons lair, DC.
Getting a ringing endorsement from a Bush is a 💋 of death to any candidate. Including DeSantis.
Which makes me think the RINOS are doing it on purpose.
Honestly I have never cast a vote based on endorsements. The record, the platform & my sincerely/honesty meter are far more important indicators.
Then all DeSantis has to do is reject Jeb’s endorsement, right? If DeSantis doesn’t ….that’s a big tell.
DeSantis should have displayed more political sense than to have permitted this to happen in the public media.
Ron is going for the money. There are now enough true MAGA candidates coming up in the ranks that Ron is going to be blocked out. Trump in 2024 and Ultra MAGAs behind. Ron is looking to cash in. He will wind up with winners like Paul Ryan concentrating on cashing in.
He’s been taking Rove advice and RINO/Globalist $$$$ for a long time. Remember how he was outraged at the Mar-a -Lago atrocity ???? ya, neither do I…………
I wonder if !Jeb! will let DeSantis have all his left over campaign guacamole bowls from 2016 to peddle.
I remember those!
I wondered if they were made in China.
He should reject the endorsement! If not, beware!
He won’t. FRDS
he’s one of them, a globalist…………voted for the TPP when in congress
!JEB! And Cavuto did RDS no favor.
Strike 3
The endorsement from a Bush is the political kiss of death. Surely DeSantis knows how much the millions of MAGA voters dislike the Bush faction of the Republican party.
You have to understand there are still all kinds of media and all kinds of registered gop who think “If Trump just weren’t so mouthy!”
Jeb is their polite little boy.
I was at dinner recently with some people who identify as republicans.
They are very wealthy and think their money equals great intellect.
Funny how that works. Not that they didn’t work hard, but most of it was inherited.
They made a huge point in saying they met a major donor to republicans
at a charity gala (gag) and he told them that he “did everything in his power to
try to convince President Trump to shut his mouth”. I suspect they are
Bushies.
They also credit Ron DeSantis with the reason their 7th floor condo in
Clearwater, Fl. did not flood during the hurricane.
In those situations, I always sit back and just listen, knowing that they
are not interested in any truths and a huge political argument would
ruin our friendship. I value my friendships as I get older because in
the past few years I have lost a few because of age and illness.
I suspect that the head rino group (whomever they are besides McConnell and the usual
suspects) have confirmed to DeSantis that President Trump will not be running in 2024.
They nefarious plans. An indictment I suspect.
The RINOs are sending out their losers to toot for DeSantis. 🤡 What a week. I’m embarrassed for DeSantis.
One has to ask, is DeSantis asking for these endorsements? If he is shame on him, if he is not, than why are they doing it?
Ryan and Bush to MAGA are nothing but Traitors and should be in prison for that very reason. Two of the most sleazy Rinocrats out there. For DeSantis, actions will speak louder than words. If he is found to be a closet Rinocrat, the governorship will be the highest office he will achieve.
People are waking up and are eyes wide open to the sleazy duplicity their double dealing deceit concerning whom they serve.
Because the J6 comity is a flop, so plan B
Whether the endorsements were solicited or not isn’t the question. It’s whether they’re accepted or not.
Silence is acceptance. No different than the silence on the raid of MAL is acceptance.
HARD PASS.
DeSantis is offering himself up as an alternative to President Trump.
Thus, he needs the endorsements of as many republican rinos as he
can get.
He & they will have to manufacture votes like the demo-nazi party did then.
I’m a hard pass.
I don’t think the rinos realize the size of MAGA yet.
Leave it to the Republican Party RINO’s, who are being handed the majority in the House, and Senate, to either get their way, or split the party so bad that the Democrats win!
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. A republican trademark.
And if DeSantis gets the nomination in 2024, Jeb! will turn on him as well.
“If De Santis gets the nomination in 2024, Jeb! will turn on him”.
Fortunately, Ron will NOT get the nomination either because he doesn’t run or because he becomes the Establishments 2024 version of Lyin’ Ted and gets destroyed.
However, its perplexing that you imagine the Establishment schemers would ” turn on” their candidate. Did they turn on Bush, McCain or Romney?
If I were Lawfare & the crazy Dems, I would engineer a way to split PDJT from DeSantis. Or to make it appear that there was a split and get the supporters of both men dazed and confused and starting to distrust each other..
Seems they’ve been pretty successful so far.
Fake news with the RINO endorsement. Open your eyes people.
Hmm….no, DeSantis hasn’t rejected the endorsement.
You need to open your eyes to the possibility that DeSantis actually is one of “them”.
And why on earth should he even respond to that “endorsement”? You believe he should rush to reject the endorsement of anyone who says he’s great? Or just those YOU don’t like because they are not MAGA?
Seems pretty silly. Especially since, as Megyn Kelly so clearly stated, there is not a chance in hell that he will win the nomination if he runs against PDJT. So Jeb Bush is a clueless idiot, but not clueless enough that he does not recognize Ron as a great Governor.
You maybe need to open your eyes to the possibility that DeSantis may be playing the Dems himself.
Ever heard of Br’er Rabbit? “Oh please Mr. Fox do anything but just don’t throw me in that briar patch”
Is he just gonna take their money and suddenly become woke and crooked?
I don’t see it
But I do see that if MAGA doesn’t make common cause with not-quite-so-MAGA, and persuadable-but-currently-non-MAGA then pure MAGA is ultimately doomed.
If you’re setting up MAGA vs The Rest of the World then it’s going to be a loss for MAGA.
We need to convince (and we are gradually having some success), not denounce everyone who doesn’t agree with MAGA. It ain’t easy, given years of propaganda from the usual suspects. But it’s the only way, unless we want to become exactly what they have become.
Sundance just did a big write up on “A Tribute to Git R Done”, inspired by the amazing work done in reconstructing the Sanibel Island roadway.
If not for DeSantis, I wonder whether that would have been written. Could that ‘get r done’ have happened in any other state? But I saw not a mention of DeSantis in that write up. All the worker bees in the world, as great as they may be, need a leader and facilitator.
So thanks DeSantis, for being a GREAT Governor.
gda said, “Could that ‘get r done’ have happened in any other state? ”
Well, yes it could. And that other state was California! Back in the 94 Northridge earthquake that took out a number of freeway overpasses effectively crippling L.A. then governor Pete Wilson (R) convinced the legislature to temporarily suspend almost all of the crazy laws that slow infrastructure work to a crawl. The end result was the work was completed in record time.
Well OK, but you do understand that I’m speaking contemporaneously, right?
So IOW, today’s world, not the good old days.
But it just goes to show – this sort of response was expected back in the day. When did competence become a lost art?
“Thanks DeSantis, for being a great governor”.
KEY word == ” GOVERNOR”.
Hopefully he’ll win re election and be Florida’s GOVERNOR for another 4 years.
After that, the Harvard trained lawyer may run to be Florida’s version of lawfare warrior rock star, AG Ken Paxton in Texas.
OH BS the work men did all the fixing the gov just paid with their tax dollars . If we do not get MAGA this country is doomed to uniparty forever !
If RDS will not stand & speak against the unconstitutional raid of a sovereign citizen of the state of FL then he will not stand against gubmint tyranny for any other sovereign citizen.
Hard pass on RDS for POTUS & your disingenuous comparison of the job of a guvnah & the job of a President.
Excuse me. When did I do any such comparison Ms Delusional?
Try reading and comprehending next time.
Sorry, there’s no excuse for you. Carry on.
Ooops
In the case of loser Jeb Bush, YES DeSantis should RUNNNNN to the nearest microphone and reject the endorsement, preferably while also making fun of Jeb. Jeb’s loser stink can easily rub off onto DeSantis otherwise.
Its fascinating to read the different ways people find to reject even considering that they’ve been Penced into believing a politician is not who they thought he was.
A career politician who has been a conservative media hyped good governor in a republican state =/= someone who will be a good President; especially while we are in a survival war with the global swamp.
Seems people just respond to whats in their head, not what I’ve written.
Sundance Right Again!!!
DeSantis/Pence 202x.
That’s about how I think about things right now.
Ugh. I need pepto now for this nausea
Try some raw ginger.
Just got a mailing from Pence pimping his new book… gag!
You mean Judas?
This is why MAGA needs either its own party or pre-election MAGA primaries. These people ALWAYS tell you who they are at their core. Now maybe ¡Jeb! doesn’t like DeSantis and is trying to give him the kiss of death. But the donors’ and DeSantis’ reaction to the unlawful FBI smash-and-grab robbery of Mar A Lago tells us a lot about his politics.
Up next: the coveted Liz Cheyney / Mitt Romney endorsements. (Nikki Haley is starting to sweat if ¡Jeb! is off the table…)
rinos are so arrogant that they don’t think of their endorsements as
“the kiss of death”.
Jeb Bush has become so irrelevant only Cavuto would have him on – and now Cavuto will join Bush in the graveyard of has-beens.
Could it be that Jeb! endorses DeSantis only to strike back at Trump? Imagine how much Jeb! and all the Bushies resent Trump for beating Jeb! badly in the 2016 primaries. I doubt that Jeb! and DeSantis have the same ideology. Take the border, for example. Jeb! is big on open borders as all Bushies are. But we know that DeSantis wants a controlled border.
These politicians too often make the mistake of comparing themselves to others.
DeSantis has already told us he will be 100 percent business as usual on the border.
May say more about the (lack of) star power for Cavuto.
Cavuto couldn’t do “better” than Jeb!
And of course Jeb! would be hungry for anything on air.
I thought the Bush Crime Syndicate were put into retirement by PDJT. Dunno if this is going to be much help for Gov. Ron I personally think if Bush backed Christ that one I could see. Christ isn’t popular here in the Florida Panhandle. Lot’s of Ron signs. MAGA Country around these parts.
Crist?
Well, that’s the kiss of death, I must say!
Door 1.
I guess there are people who like Jeb Bush enough to listen to him. I understand he was a pretty good governor for Fl so a lot of folks there might listen, plus, they like DeSantis.
However, he’s a Bush. Enough said for the base of the party.
NO Bushes should ever again open their mouths on the Presidency of the United States. Ever.
Further, it’s due to the failure of governors like Jeb that illegal immigration spread and spread and spread.
On that issue alone, Jeb will forever remain our enemy.
The person to lead the UK was not an inexperienced Truss, but the reason they gave the quick yank is that the bankers of the world do not want a Western democracy cutting taxes and acting like they actually think they are a democracy
That’s why Biden is so happy with the outcome there.
They are pulling the strings here and Trump is their enemy. DeSantis is expected to be their friend.
May I refer you to my comment at the top of the page.
“NO Bushes should ever again open their mouths on the Presidency of the United States. Ever.”
Dunno. Thought I heard JB mutter penis breath when Jeb! walked by.
No matter how good DeSantis looks for some people the fact that Paul Ryan and Jeb Bush support him makes him a no go .
Could these GOPe muckrakers be throwing their support behind DeSantis for exactly the reason that Trump supporters won’t support him if Trump doesn’t run? Your starting flat out you won’t support him because the muckrakers are backing him. I don’t know, but they don’t much really like DeSantis but they hate Trump .
But….I thought DeSantis isn’t running for President in 2024, he’s only running for Gov of Florida?
This should be the smoking gun evidence for the Treepers that are still doubtful that DeSantis is one of the bad guys. He is. Or Jeb wouldn’t endorse him, and DeSantis would reject it if he wasn’t one of “them”.
All true -Ron is TeB 2.0 . The new and improved version …hopefully a similar fail, despite all the planning , dirty tricks , brainstorming and funding by the GOPe , Fox/Ryan. Old Crow , Pence , Uniparty etc etc and PDJT just has to fight Them and Everyone else, otherwise a walk in the park … God bless PDJT.
This may not be as bad as it first sounds , this could come down to both Paul Ryan and Jeb Bush hating DeSantis but they hate Trump more and they think supporting DeSantis might hurt Trump . That could be what they think but die hard Trumper’s know better and don’t see it that way at all.
DeSantis will NEVER EVER be as popular as Trump , no politician is competitive in that regard, Trump dominates.
This could backfire big time on the anti-Trumpers. Of course if DeSantis succumbs to their pressure and promises, and jumps into the 2024 race, HE is the one who will ultimately pay the price. But on the other hand, if he doesn’t? If he allows them to throw all the praise and money at him, only to in the end say NOPE, that could be huge. If at some point DeSantis says NOPE, I wholeheartedly support Donald Trump as our next president, and plan to do everything I can to help…. once he says that, then all his current backers/groomers will be stuck. They can either do a 180 and start to badmouth not only Trump but also DeSantis, OR they can follow his lead. Yeah… they really are painting themselves into a corner here.
Let’s say RDS raised $1.2 billion pre-game, instead of Jeb!’s paltry $120m.
What’s the most interesting “IRA thing” you can do quasi-legally (escaping actual punishment) with a billion surplus these days, when you withdraw?
Jeb who?
Trump / Sundance 2024… That’s my vote, consider the possibilities!
I wonder if the GOPe is doing this to actually hurt DeSantis’ support. I’ve no idea, but DeSantis doesn’t seem like he is supporting the demonic agenda of the radical left and the GOPe doesn’t actually oppose the demonic lefts agenda, so are they endorsing him hoping to hurt his support among conservatives if Trump doesn’t run? Since those muckrakers at the top of the GOPe know Trump supporters won’t support DeSantis if all these GOPe guys are funding him and then they come up with a mitt Romney candidate for the GOP who isn’t for making American great.
I have had the same thoughts as well. Ryan and Jeb! want Pence.
A primary focus on cultural issues represents a return to pre MAGA republicanism.
MAGA focuses on economic, trade, anti globalist, anti military intervention and reducing the size and corruption in DC issues while encouraging free speech so people can deal with cultural issues.
Jeb is looking to return to Florida governor’s club and he could be elected…after Ron gives it up. Just the way it is!
No effin way.
Gag
Ryan, now Bush with support from FOX. Sorry Ron, you are a very fine Governor, perhaps a Senator someday. But President????? Not with baggage the likes of Ryan and Bush!!
Please clap
Let me be honest here. This is all a smear, all of it. What the tards are doing is painting him with a leftist label. It’s called a poison pill. Color him as a rino with the backing of other rinos and leftist and rob him of votes.
That is what is happening. It is an old fashioned smear campaign.
Why care about Ron unless he runs in 2024? Obviously the only MAGA choices in 2024 will be Trump or Trump. Father or son; Eric or Don.
Just more Bush malarky. But telling, nonetheless.
Jeb bush. Is he still alive?
clap…………………………………………………clap…………………………………………………….clap.
I’m not liking who Desantis is choosing as his friends.
It might be distasteful to share an opinion of someone with Jeb Bush but, you know what they say about blind squirrels. It is very interesting to see the establishment coming together behind someone as conservative as Ron DeSantis simply because he provides an alternative to the hated one. The way I look at it, either way we win bigtime. The question is can we even actually have a legitimate election at this point? The two greatest quarterbacks in the game right now means nothing if neither gets playing time or if the game is rigged and the outcome predetermined.
Trump certainly need not worry about his legacy or what might have been. He has already solidified his place among the greatest simply by taking on and exposing the corruption in Washington D. C. in my mind. Neither Trump or DeSantis can truly tame the beast or overcome it, only we the people can do that.
Blind squirrels in a forest of oaks. Are guaranteed to stubble across an acorn every now and then. 🤗🤔😁
I don’t think DeSantis asked for this endorsement.
The Bush/McCain/Cheney wing might be trying to gaslight us.
Think about it, Ron WAS the MAGA heir apparent, but now when Lake, Mastriano and Zeldin win and carryout MAGA initiatives in their states, he might lose some of his shine so Ron maybe trying to suck up all the money he can NOW before all those other contenders are in the mix.
Plus their’s Glenn Youngkin who is also a strong contender with the GOP wing and once his term in Virginia is over will be obligated to run for POTUS or losing his own window of opportunity.
The C0CK blocking in politics is appalling, I just joined the Miami Dade GOP and their level of uselessness and lameness is stunning even to me.
I am starting to wonder if RINOs like Ryan and Jeb! are intentionally sabotaging DeSantis so they can get their BFF Pence elected.
The R-wing of the UniParty, definitely isn’t happy that their deceptions are unraveling.
Remember McShame and OZero care.
One of the handful of endorsements worse than Paul Ryan. Hilarious.
Please clap.
Some endorsement! More like kiss of death to the DeSantis for President campaign!!
Ugh, biggest weirdo in FL politics gives his endorsement.
Did Santis reach out and REQUEST this endorsement?
Isn’t this like the kiss of death along with Paul Ryan’s, (little Eddie Munster) endorsement?
Donald Trumps greatest accomplishment is beating the Clintons, Bushes and Cheney’s. An amazing trifecta. He deserves his place in history just for that.
Anyone else think DeSantis bears a slight resemblance at times to Lou Ferrigno’s “Hulk”?
Yes, Ron DeSantis has done great things for FL but, his rubbing elbows with plus accepting endorsements and taking massive campaign contributions from anti MAGA donors, GOPe/RINOs and other wealth/power hungry globalist supporting ilk should raise major concerns of what his loyalties and ambitions actually are. Be suspicious as we could have a masquerading Ted Cruz clone. Time and disclosure will tell.
That endorsement is literally the equivalent of Jeb’s famous, “Please Clap” moment.
The Republican Party is NOW MORE MAGA than it was in 2016. The avalanche started long ago, our momentum can’t be stopped by the RINOS.
Will anyone ask Jeb:
“Jeb, WHAT was in that little envelope
that your brother George’s wife Laura
showed you
at your father’s funeral
~that caused you to look shocked and afraid?”
Low energy Jeb😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Pences wife got an envelope too as did Hillary and Michelle. Carter’s wife didnt.
What would motivate Paul Ryan and Jeb Bush to announce support for DeSantis for 2024 now? DeSantis didn’t ask for them, and probably doesn’t want their endorsements. Some games are going on.
Both Ryan and Bush hate Trump. They probably do not like DeSantis much either. They know MAGA supporters are not going to support a candidate endorsed by RINO’s. My guess is they are trying to split Trump and DeSantis, get rid of them both, so their best RINO buddy, Mike Pence can run in 2024. Pence is sending out mailers hawking his new book in preparation for his 2024 run. Gag. No one who supports Trump can stand Pence.
It means an indictment is coming.
