A week ago, Colorado senate republican candidate Joe O’Dea said on CNN, “I don’t think Donald Trump should run again.” He quickly added, ” I’m going to actively campaign against Donald Trump and make sure that we have got four or five really great Republicans right now; Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley and Tim Scott.”
President Trump blasted O’Dea the following day {link}.
Today, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis picked Joe O’Dea as his only 2022 endorsed senate candidate {link}, recording a robocall for O’Dea that says, “Hello this is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. America needs strong leadership and desperately. That’s why I’m endorsing Joe O’Dea for U.S. Senate. Colorado, please vote for Joe O’Dea.”
Keep in mind, Ron DeSantis is a governor who campaigns on his success as a governor and has been rallying exclusively for governor candidates. However, despite not endorsing the republican candidate in the Colorado state race (Heidi Ganahl), Governor DeSantis went out of his way to support the only explicitly anti-Trump Senate candidate in 2022, Joe O’Dea.
When Paul Ryan endorsed Ron DeSantis, you could argue that DeSantis never asked for it. When Jeb Bush endorsed DeSantis, again you could argue that DeSantis never asked for it. However, the transparency of DeSantis endorsing O’Dea who has stated his intent to actively campaign against any MAGA candidate… well, you can’t say that had nothing to do with DeSantis.
Face it.
This is what is clear.
The DeSantis 2024 organizers are a mixture of allied republican establishment figures, corporate party donors and former Ted Cruz base supporters (Never Trumpers) who have united in common cause to stop the MAGA working-class coalition from taking full control of the republican party. An endorsement for DeSantis from Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger is increasingly likely as soon as the midterm election is over.
Ron DeSantis is increasingly being exposed by his own actions/inactions and the actions of others.
Let us not pretend any longer.

I could smell the establishment GOP in the Florida winds over the spring and summer. When DeSantis went into the bunker on the day of the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid, remained silent for 5 days, and then exited bunker with a new establishment brand image crew and communications team, it was obvious what just happened.
We accept things as they are, not as we would wish them to be. 94% funded by Wall Street hedge fund managers, billionaires and multinational corporations,… to the tune of over $200,000,000….. with a national campaign launch, book launch and national television advertising strategy…. It became brutally obvious.
Ron DeSantis in 2024 is Jeb Bush + Ted Cruz in 2016.
- Five Days in Bunker following Mar-a-Lago Raid 8/9/22
- No expressed support for Donald Trump following Mar-a-Lago raid 8/9/22.
- New brand image consulting team 8/14/22
- New communications team 8/14/22
- National advertising campaign
- 94% billionaire and corporate funding
- Raised $200+ million for state governor race?
- Cancels Lee Zeldin fundraiser after meeting with New York real estate donor who supports Hochul
- Endorsed by Club For Growth (C4G)
- Voted to support TPP trade agreement and Obama Fast Track trade authorization
- Supports all Ukraine funding and U.S. government spending in Ukraine
- Endorsed Florida Red Flag Laws, most firearm confiscation of any state
- Silent over the 100 Florida citizen J6 detainees (largest number in nation)
- Asked legislature to criminalize boycotts of Israeli companies, including pharmaceutical companies
- No support for E-verify system or employment law against illegal alien hires
- Endorsed by Paul Ryan
- Endorsed by Jeb Bush
Sooner or later people have to admit the obvious.
Ron DeSantis is a generally good governor, but he is being dishonest in his national intents.
‘Endorsed by Jeb Bush’ – Sundance
So we’ll be urged to support Ron! in 2024?
Change one letter, it spells Run!
Wow … DeSantis ain’t MAGAlite he’s RINOrat.
Rise up Patriots … DEFEAT Joe O’Dea !!!
So a Democrat is preferable to you…sad little person, just pathetic. The biggest RINO in the Senate Susan Collins has multiples of any ACU rating or ANY Democrat. Shame on you, you lost the primary. Now is not the time to pull a hissy fit i.e. you’re useless, change your party, if it is not already, to Democrat because that is your voting result.
the Turtle vote WITH Slo Joe 53% of the time…..Murkowski, the Wicked Witch of the West, votes with him 64%….they are already a LOOOOONG way towards being a Dimm/commie
Is there not a ‘write in’ space on CO ballots? I don’t know.
Then let the vast collection of RINORAT never-trumpers work their magic … surly the bushCARTEL, JUDASpence, Pierre Delecto & Lizzy will be more than capable of getting out the never-Trump vote.
Bottom line … these traitors know WeThePeople will NEVER vote RINO again … the fun part … neither will RAT voters.
So the RINO traitors – and their trash candidates who will protect their swamp – use their condescending retort “… So a Democrat is preferable to you …”?
NO!!! … MAGA Patriots are my only preference.
No, you are stuck with this RINO. Next time VOTE in the primary, that is the time to vote the RINOs out, not in the general.
Meh, they all equal Republican.
You must elect a new Republican to replace the old Republican that replaced the other Republican… In order to change Republicans.
It’s a 20X failed philosophy at this point.
No negativity at this time. We vote-not RINO but MAGA.
Not MAGA, you’re not obligated to vote.
There is hope for people to convert.
I am not a “Run”-nice twist-fan. Never will be. Too smarmy in my view and claims a back bone that is missing at key historical times-see Mar a Lago raid.
We have 2 years for him to declare himself-many forces are moving and he may not run.
November 8 is near-let’s work and pray. Next-
TRUMP 2024!!
Negativity or truth? I don’t need to see the results to know them.
Wrong … a Republican is not a RINO until he/she proves he/she is … DeSantis and O’dea have proven their RINO loyalty.
It’s a matter of which poison is the most lethal, and this case it’s the democrat poison!
All poisons are lethal, some just take longer.
Democrats are fast-acting, Republicans are slow-acting, and they’re both lethal to the republic.
The 2016 RINO poison from Paul Ryan & McConnell gave Pelosi the House in 2018 and Schumer the Senate in 2020.
The RNC, GOP & JUDASpence poison gave us a stolen election and braindead RAT to destroy the United States of America.
The RATS haven’t had to use one drop of poison.
RATS are evil.
RINOS are their enablers.
DeSantis has A) been bought off OR— B) been blackmailed.
Trump was already rich so they could not buy him and Trump lived his life on the front page so they could not blackmail him. That is why the Ruling Elites of both parties Hate Trump. They can never control Trump and that ticks them off royally.
Lets continue to support Trump and he can pick a non RINO for his running mate this time.
Well said
Excellent!!! Thank you.
Blackmail is very likely … Hillary started collecting FBI files for blackmail while billyboy was being serviced by Monica.
The LBJ strategy (my paraphrase) “Loyality = appointing a man with a closet full of skeletons”.
Ron DeSantis, bought and paid for, just like the rest, except for President Donald J. Trump. That is why the establishment hates Trump so much; he doesn’t answer to them. He answers to the American people.
Yes, currently DeSantis is a good governor for Florida, but after he gets re elected, how much longer will that last. In my opinion his big donors thought Hurricane Ian was a great chance for DeSantis to show how great an organizer he is which would bolster his image that he can be a national leader.
President Trump is one of the few, if not the only one, who believes our government should answer to its citizens; not the citizens answering to government.
BINGO!
Trump is rich enough that they can not buy him and he has lived his life on the front page so they can not blackmail him.
DeSantis can be bought and\or blackmailed so he does not think he can stand on his own against the Ruling Elite.
DeSantis will never stand for the average forgotten man\woman or the middle class except by token promises. He now belongs to the SWAMP.
Too bad I thought we may have had a warrior in Ron but I was wrong.
President Trump would not have been bought if he was poor as a little church mouse.
He has that much integrity.
Sorry, this is where I disagree with Sundance’s underlying belief that it is somehow wrong for any GOP candidate to not want to be seen as a servant of the greatest President of our lifetime, PDJT.
Any GOP nominee in 2024 who isnt PDJT will have to have the entire GOP party behind him or her to win.
PDJT appeals to many because of his willingness to fight our fights for us without counting the costs to himself. At the same time, when it comes to GOP leaning voters who agree with his political views but who abhor his personal approach and Yankee brashness, he actually treats them with disrespect and with disdain.
PDJT is the only 2024 potential candidate who will motivate overwhelming amounts of us that love him to turn out to make the race close in 2024. Any other GOP nominee will have to have a united party.
The MAGA movement was small with committed leaders before PDJT. He was the one who made the winning of 2016 possible.
But PDJT is NOT the MAGA movement. He was our best general. And with anyone else, including DeSantis, we may not ever win the White House again.
But DeSantis does not have to avoid supporting a GOP nominee is a general election just because that candidate doesnt support PDJT. Such an argument or expectation is ridiculous to my mind.
It is like people who expect McConnell to spend all of his LEADERSHIP PAC money on GOP candidates that have already come out against him. That money isnt GOP MONEY it is his LEADERSHIP MONEY. Just like people who criticize PDJT for NOT SPENDING all of HIS money on those same candidates.
If those of us that love, admire and support PDJT are going to expect all of the GOP to role over and just give him the 2024 nomination OR to never criticize PDJT for anything, then the MAGA movement is going to lose in 2024 with or without PDJT.
And for the sake of God, LIFE, Family and Country, what we believe in has to be more important that ANY general.
“Any GOP nominee in 2024 who isnt PDJT will have to have the entire GOP party behind him or her to win.”
Seriously?????
You know who the GOP is, right????
I know that the GOP is the only national party that has even a chance of defending LIFE, religious freedom, our country, etc. They are not perfect. However, the other national parties are either purely evil or too small and ineffectual to defend MAGA values.
I have been working with MAGA candidates since the nid-80’s. I gave 10k – 15k per cycle to those candidates that I support who need my help. I dont need johnny-come-latelys posting from their mommy’s basements telling me about what the GOP is or how to elect candidates.
You do not match my love, support and ACTIVE work for PDJT in 2016 and 2020 in any way shape or form. PDJT recognized my ministry from a nationally televised Rose Garden presentation in January 2018.,
Dont preach to me, little boy Save it for someone who is impressed by you.
It will be McCain 2.0
Wow you gave so much! That certainly entitles you to speak so highly of yourself, little man!
I think you are confused between preaching, and “questioning.” It appears that Mathew W was asking you if you knew the difference between MAGA, GOP, RINO, Globalist, Estabishment, Uni-Party. You obviously think MAGA is a faction of Republican. Many of us think in terms of MAGA as a party onto itself. No candidate running as a Republican should ever get elected without MAGA votes. If we constantly fight for MAGA first candidates we will get rid of the McConnel’s Bush, garbage we currently have. I will let a Democrat beat McConnel before I vote for him. Pretty much the same nationwide with candidates. Because of “any principle I like goes” you really haven’t done the MAGA people a favor. I’m sure the club for growth and the Lincoln Project appreciate your support for the GOP.
Yes, A LOT of independents voted for Trump in 2016.
They won’t vote for the Bush-Cheney-Clintons Uniparty cabal presently masquerading as DeSantis.
I will never vote for a RINO again. If DeSantis runs against Trump, I will never vote for him. DeSantis would not have been governor without Trump’s Support.
Same here.
Very important to inform the independents that voted not Republican but Trumpism in 2016, what DeSantis really represents, the same decadent Bush, Cheney, and Clintons Uniparty. Witty cartoons with DeSanti as a sock puppet of the former etc…
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. The independents have to know who is behind DeSantis mask. Because if the globalist, WEF, capture USA again, we are all f#¥k for sure.
Exactly, if I don’t hear America First then I know!
So you’re good with RINORAT traitors ?
They are better than any DEM.
and, pray tell, what exactly have the rinos done for you lately?
I think this is where many diverge from your position.
Many now hold the idea that most GOP / Rinos are Dems in disguise because they are all globalists and working to a one world government.
Many hold the view that Trump can stand up against this attempt to eliminate our Constitution and turn us into a vassal state of unelected elites.
Many held the view that DeSantis might also have been a person who, in the future, would maintain the victory against these globalist fools.
Now we see that the gloablist fools have in fact purchased Gov DeSantis.
You may know many in the GOP who are not globalists. Excellent!
But if they have been in the party a long time, they could merely be hiding themselves until they deem it necessary to come out into the light. We’ve seen this previously.
We are indeed in the time of a civil war, and during such times it is prudent to actively assess a person’s history and actions.
Since when?
That’s exactly the kind of thinking that has given us Bush/Bush/Bush/McCain/Romney. GOPe’s are complicit with the D.C. Dems. UniParty. Not one Goddamn bit better.
They are THE SAME!
They ARE dems in RINORAT clothing.
RATS are evil.
RINOS are their enablers.
The RINORAT choice:
Do you want to die by stabbing or gunshot?
RINO, MAGA, whatever name or synonym is simply just a republican.
Trying to convince ones self of something else is paralleling the same logic as calling a dude in a skirt a chick.
See the Tea Party and Freedom Caucasus for reference.
McConnell used the TeaParty to get elected and then used Obama and the IRS to destroy individuals who were Tea Party Supporters.
There are ZERO similarities between RINO and MAGA – in fact – we despise each other.
RINOS are globalist swamp liars … MAGA is very clear – we are MAKE AMERICAN GREAT AGAIN PATRIOTS!!!
The RINOS despise MAGA because it’s not an organization … it is an opinion, a way of life, God, Family, Country, Life, Law & Order and Safe Schools.
That’s what primaries are for. To vote out the RINO’s. The problem is that most people don’t even bother to vote in the primaries so we end up with the only choice being RINO vs Dem. RINO’s win that fight.
I agree Workingman… we all hold our noses and vote for these turds in the General but we HAVE to start putting more pressure on state GOP and the Primaries long before they get here.
We allow ourselves to be served garbage.
I’m not saying it will be easy but in my mind, that’s where the battle is. It’s Kabuki Theater all day every day in DC… we’ve got to get different folks in there or we’ll keep getting more of the same.
Exactly like Cassidy in Louisiana … pretended to be MAGA until he won … then stabbed Trump in the back … WeThePeople can’t get rid of the liar until the next election – but we will.
“At the same time, when it comes to GOP leaning voters who agree with his [PTrumps’] political views but who abhor his personal approach and Yankee brashness, he actually treats them with disrespect and with disdain.”
Who are they? What group of ‘GOP leaning voters’ feels disrespected by President Trump’s “personal approach”?
To them I say, “Get over yourself.”
There is a certain style of concern troll that throws in things like that – some of them have been here since 2016, making such comments about Donald Trump while propping up people like Jeff Sessions.
Speaking of Sessions…There is video of Jeff slapping Pedo-Joe’s hand away, when they got too close to his grand-daughter. Sessions knew Joe was a pedo years ago!
I have found that people who “don’t love Trump’s brashness” strangely enough LOVED Chris Christie when he was popular. The difference…the media never told them Chris was “unpresidential” 🙄.
Blind sheep. They seem to love following what they’re told by the media. Never mind giving important choices a little time and research, nah, it’s easier to just follow blindly.
“Such an argument or expectation is ridiculous to my mind.”
Yep, your mind is ridiculous indeed. That is some of the most illogical thinking I have heard in some time Magnus.
Hope you recover soon.
And further Magnus, it appears you are suffering from some of the wokeness attitudes that seek to vilify masculinity.
Although I recognize you say others do not like his straight forward approach to dealing with his opponents, your repeating this emotional response is akin to saying to a soldier, gee, why did you kill the enemy?
If you do not understand we are in fact in a war for the very soul of this nation, and that it requires a combatant on the side of right and good, to be willing to fight, and yes, get dirty if necessary, you are lost indeed!!
You call me woke. I call you delusional.
I like his straight forward appeal. Dont put words into my mouth.
Are you capable of reading and actually understanding what you read? Doesnt appear to be the case.
I want to WIN. There are MANY people who agree with PDJT’s policies but dont like Yankee brashness. You, evidently, are not one of them.
But those people ARE MAGA aligned voters. His brashness doesnt offend me because as a Southerner, I am pretty blunt myself.
But when his brashness interferes with winning over MAGA-aligned voters, then he should at least be aware of how such an approach only diminishes his chances to win those voters.
If your take on such things is an indication of what many MAGA-aligned voters believe, we are screwed no matter who we nominate.
How folks can handle this nonsensical noise I do not know.
“Winning” with a bought-and-paid for CofC controlled RINO isn’t winning. It’s just losing a different way.
DeSantis is a big phony who voted for TPP. TPP is treason. He also is like John Kerry in that his entire life/resume was set up to run for president.
Add to that Mr. TPP has no appeal in the rust belt and no GOP candidate can win the White house without MI, WI, or PA.
I disagree with his economic policies and totally support PDJT. However, there are more important issues to ME which DeSantis is as good or better on those than PDJT.
But we are not discussing policy here, we are discussing campaign tactics. So your post simply isnt germane.
AlbertusMagnus makes some good points. Sundance is also correct that many things occurring with Ron DeSantis lately are very concerning. However, regarding this situation I believe that Donald Trump should have remained silent after O’Dea dissed him. O’Dea was already the Republican nominee in a purple state. Despite his stupid comments he is better than Bennet. It appears to me that what DeSantis is doing here is damage control. DJT’s comments torpedoed a republican candidate and assisted a Democrat. Not good! We are bigger than one person. If DJT is not the guy in 2024 than we can’t just sit on our hands and watch the country go down the drain.
Thanks.
O’Dea is on the record as having voted for Biden, but according to you, he is not the problem, Trump is. Great logic!
O’Dea may have voted for Biden but I suspect if elected to the Senate he would vote for the Republican position just a few more times than Bennet would, which would be about 0. Trump should have let this one go.
ODea even admits in his ads he won’t be party loyal, but will work with anyone. Isn’t that the very definition of RINO? BTW, COLO hasn’t been purple for a few years; it is blue: gov, state leg, all state offices, all large counties. Even El Paso county sliding away from red.
Saying you will work with anyone, isnt the definition of a RINO. It COULD be good politics.
A RINO is someone who doesnt support GOP policies. Saying you will work with anyone isnt the same as saying you will support THEIR policies.
If you run and win on the Republican platform – then “reach across the aisle to your good RAT friend” and vote with him/her … then you are a LIAR who betrayed the people who voted for you.
Ok, I’ll take you’re word that Colorado is blue as you probably know the state better than me. That being the case, isn’t it better to support someone who votes you’re way 50% of the time instead of just doing nothing and returning someone to the Senate who never votes you’re way at all?
Legalize MJ and the incoming transplants tear the state up and apart.
You just still don’t get it, do you? Republican is not MAGA!! He is Uni-party. So is Bennet. They are on and the same. No I don’t need another uni-party candidate infecting reliable God believing MAGA candidate. Bennet is already there. Big deal, no change. Arizona is a change. Ohio is a change. Why do you keep insisting that Republican acting candidates are MAGA. They are not,,,or they would say they are MAGA.
Nobody forget Bennet said “Democracy is not up to (the challenge of) climate change.” He is the last thing Colorado needs.
Any candidate that has the entire GOPe behind them aren’t MAGA, they’re uniparty, and they aren’t For the people.
Not necessarily but the RINO’s are more committed to stopping PDJT than anything else. If they get behind SeSantis, it has more to do with them seeing him as their vehicle to stop PDJT rather than strong support for DeSantis.
Agreed
You want a fighter? Ok, try this guy: Rep. Jim Jordan.
Find the right place for him, then sit back and watch how he works. Oh, there are others besides Mr. Jordan…let’s see a few names.
A spokesperson for Jordan told CNN the congressman “stands [by] his comments. He has never said that the election was stolen.”
Jordan is doing a good job fighting against his constituency for Big Tech currently….he has been turned as well….a milder form of Trey Gowdy
Scott took the blue pill too?
Crenshaw was just a psy-op?
AOC is having some trouble?
Her townhall was a fiasco.
She was dancing to the opposition chants of “AOC must go”.
It was hilarious, in a pitiful way?
Jordan needs to hear from his constituents about the Google issue. Working behind the scenes to squash that vote is unacceptable.
But he sure puts out a great tweet /s
TOTALLY DISAGREE!!!!
I’ll write in TRUMP before i vote for a rino.
None of the rest are for GOD, LIFE, Family and Country-sorry. Most sing the song but have not written it.
TRUMP wrote the song he sings.
No . Rinos.Ever.
critical thinking skill education is recommended
You have some good points in your comment.
The place to weed out the RINOs is VOTING in the primary. In the general we have to vote Republican.
However I realized the Gov. DeSantis was going over to the RINO side by his SILENCE that spoke volumes after the Mar a Largo Raid. When he runs for POTUS during the Republican Primary in 2024, I will not vote for him.
I agree. If PDJT runs, I am all in.
However, if PDJT doesnt run, then DeSantis is the best for MY values than any of the other expected GOP candidates so far.
No, we don’t have to vote Republican?
I’ll never vote for Lindsay again.
If having a Dem for 6 years is the price of getting him out of the Senate…So be it!
We all have to get involved in our LOCAL GOP in order to change things. Vote, of course, but we have to ensure the delegates we want are sent and being involved locally is the only way I see to that path.
I think that your argument would be more valid if RDS support of the non-maga senator was a stand alone action and not one of many actions since raid at Mar a Lago.
I might agree. What other actions are you referring to?
Can I assume you saw SD’s list in his above article and disagree?
Why would DeSantis openly endorse never-Trump candidates then, unless he is the anti-Trump Uniparty candidate for 2024?
Honest question.
Because DeSantis is the GOP nominee and current governor in Florida who hopes to be elected President one day.
He did not endorse a Never Trumper over a Trump supporter. He endorsed the GOP nominee for Senate in Colorado because ODea is the GOP nominee for the senate.
People do that all the time for their own reasons. Sort of like how PDJT endorsed Cruz and Romney when asked by them for their support even though they both were and arguably are still Never-Trumpers.
Same reason PDJT pardoned Bannon even those he fired him when in the WH and PUBLICLY REBUKED Bannon.
Politics makes strange bedfellows. And please people dont expect all other GOP candidates to embrace rules for their futures that you dont hold PDJT himself to as well.
It’s crystal clear by now that DeSantis is planning to run against PDT for the 2024 presidential elections.
Sundance knows this, and consecuently, most readers of TCTH know the Bush-Cheney-Clinton Uniparty cabal will be the real nominee, presently already masquerading as DeSantis.
I guess the political advisors to DeSantis have no idea the deep, abysmal, disgust so many voters have for that globalist cabal.
Yes. It is so ‘in your face’ for RDS to take that position, I’m wondering if anything more is at play.
RDS and PDJT are very quiet about their relationship these months.
I wish the two had a great and devious plan.
Oh well, other politicians have disappointed me before. RDS is no different if that’s the case.
When I see Trump and the candidates he endorses I think, this is important to my future. I see DeSantis and I think… who cares? When a flea bites a dog, does the dog die? No.
I’m paraphrasing from another commenter because I forgot to copy 😠
WeThePeople support President Donald Trump because he agrees with us … politicians want WeThe People to agree with them.
There are none so blind as those who will not see. My eyes are fully open.
I’ve been fooled before but it won’t happen again.
Same thing happened with the tea party and they’ll use DeSantis to do it.
McConnell used Obama and the IRS to destroy the Tea Party.
McConnell’s evil gave us our wonderful President Donald Trump and MAGA Nation.
The RINOS are stunned that they cannot undo the constant support and love we Patriots have for President Trump.
McConnell thinks he can use DeSantis to destroy WeThePeople and MAGA Nation … he can’t.
Patriots will never vote RINO again … and the best part … neither will RAT voters … the RINOS only have support from the bushCARTEL and the Lincoln deviants.
In the meantime – the RATS are using RINO hatred of President Trump to DESTROY the Rove directed RINOS … save yourselves RINOS – join the DNC – now.
I would say that Obama and the IRS had little to do with the destruction of the Tea Party.
What destroyed the Tea Party was it being another synonym for Republicans. 87 house members installed, double what MAGA even has in the ranks of running. Yet every one of them vote GOP agenda…
That’s what destroyed the Tea Party, failing to understand that electing Republicans as a synonym only nets you more Republicans.
The Tea Party mobilized
millions of Americans to descend on DC in 2009-2010 to protest Obama’s policies and Obamacare. Tea Party rallies also were held across the nation. Soon, Obama, Pelosi and Elijah Cummings and the NAACP began to call everyday Americans ‘racist.’The Tea Party was under attack as much as MAGA is now.
What Tea Party candidates did once they got into office is separate from the grassroots efforts.
But the reality is there were tens of millions of us already mobilized when a great leader came along in 2015. What is the saying? “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” Every movement needs a leader and we got one in 2015. The Tea Party movement got us ready.
And even if all the MAGA candidates now running win in November, there is no way to know or predict if they will compromise or turn into RINOs. But that does not have any bearing on the MAGA movement.
I’m predicting it, and I’m betting that based on a century of data that’s NEVER once been different
.. I’m correct.
love the “bushcartel and Lincoln deviants”
Causes me to revive the question:
Shouldn’t we have created a new political party in order to force people to choose? If we really have the numbers, despite the $$$$ the RINOS have, they would have gone down in smoke without any grass roots. It would be clear as day as to who was for our Constitution and who was not.
Now we have pretenders like Tulsi Gabbard who has “left the dem party” and gets her name connected to MAGA , but YET has NOT come out and denounced globalism and the WEF by which she was indoctrinated.
Yes, because we are wearing the Rep. Colors, they can still wreak havoc.
Have to “take over” the Republican party at the local level. Dan Schultz strategy. Then YOU can vet the primary candidates and send delegates to the state conventions. It’s the only way not to be double crossed. This MAGA movement needs to MOVE
This has been the accepted plan for this election. Too much work to “start new.”
Time will tell if it is a success.
Do we have enough time?
Sorry Governor, you done stepped in it son.
Exactly!
Ron DeSantis … endorsed by traitors: “only build a wall around my house” Paul Ryan … and “illegal alien invasions” are ‘acts of love’ Jeb Bush.
RINORAT Joe O’Dea endorses:
Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley and Tim Scott … why not JUDASpence & Liz Cheney.
We have open primaries here in SC, so our R politicians are center or center left and never responsive to their R constituents and a perfect fit for swamp life.
Gov McMaster is a parsel tounged swamp creature appointment by RINO money bags swamp creature Haley. Tim Scott was also appointed by Haley to a vacancy then enjoyed encumbancy. He’s milktoast with black specific special interest that always require growing government involvement. His rags to riches story is tired, politics is narrow, stagnant and boring.
And finally Nancy Mace (Haley endorsed and financed) is an open primary Democrat elected nominee.
These people are terrible and not politically representative of the R community in the lowcountry, they are representative of Haleys personal swamp political class and we cant shake any of them off our ballots unless we stop democrats from voting on our nominees.
(Grahams storied swamp creds started before Haleys and my time.)
None of the above responded to my emails regarding curbing covid social terrorism in national policy, or in the workplace, or employer voliations of our health privacy or requests to end mandated and covid emergencies.
All were emphatic in their every press release and form letter than we must get jabd. None, to my knowledge, have offered any real pushback to any covid policy. McMaster makes infuriating parcle tongued social media posts when appropriate that don’t actually mean anything.
I’m so dispirited there are no Non-swamp candidates on our upcoming ballot.
SC is the most liberal of the red states. RINO infested.
Tim Scott is a complete non-entity except for his race.
Nancy Mace seems to have limited intelligence–a perfect puppet.
Question–what is Ms. Lindsey doing with all his $$?
McMaster never mandated covid vaccines in SC. Haley, Graham, Scott, and Mace never supported candidate or President Trump. McMaster was only one to support Trump.
https://governor.sc.gov/sites/governor/files/Documents/Executive-Orders/2021-05-11%20FILED%20Executive%20Order%20No.%202021-23%20-%20Emergency%20Measures%20Regarding%20Face%20Coverings%20Vaccine%20Passports%20%20Other%20Matters.pdf
McMaster never mandanded on a state level, but he did push Mayors to do covid shutdowns and crackdown and was very hard on the food and catering industry during covid. He little action to curb covid hysteria and prolonged emergency orders as long as he could.
Sundance if President Trump does not run are you telling us you will not support Governor DeSantis and will go with Biden, Kamala or Newsum? Really
Sometimes we have to choose between bad and not so bad. I despise Rubio and was hoping to primary him but no way in hell do I want Val Demmings as my Senator. I will hold my nose and vote for Rubio, I am not ready to throw the towel in and not vote.
Exactly… I gotta vote for Brian Kemp lest we get Stacy. Lesser of two evils.
I’m so disgusted.
I am at the point to believe Rinos are traitors, not worth my vote.
Kemp and Rottenburg the GA Dominion darlings
You are leaving out the possibility of supporting another candidate, other than DeSantis, if Trump doesn’t run. Or writing Trump in. Your question is a false equivalency.
Not supporting DeSantis does not equal supporting the listed Democrats.
You might be right that there may be another candidate but I do not see anyone on the horizen who will not be indebted to the RNC. President Trump did not need them to get elected and unfortunately they sabotaged his presidency. If President Trump does not run I do not see anyone else besides DeSantis that I would support that is why this is very troublesome. President Trump is the best President in my lifetime and there will never be anyone else like him.
President Trump has given every indication he will run
JUST said in TX “Looks like I’ll HAVE to run again.”
Plus, Trump Force One was unveiled with a flyover and Stephen Miller tweeted he was onboard (to Texas) for its inaugural flight.
Inaugural flight…I love it
If DJT does not run now, after all these rallies, and all these breadcrumbs he has dropped all but announcing that he WILL be running, then he would have been the one to turn on us.
Which is why I absolutely think he will be running unless his enemies succeed in throwing him in jail.
Otherwise, he’s running. And if Trump runs, there’s no way in hell DeSantis would run before 2028.
I believe that conversation is exactly what the Never T’s and democrats want us to be having right now. I believe that is their sticking their toe in the water to see if we are ready to let fly debate between President Trump and Governor Ron DeSantis.
I believe this is a method to divide us … and see how weak we are toward President Trump.
Trump all the way!
If one looks at President Trump’s support, which appears to be increasing,
the only ones not benefitting are the ones who are traitors to the MAGA
agenda. Of course, DeSantis is better as governor than the crazy democrat.
However, he now will gender little support if he decides to run for president.
Why? Because it was President Trump who brought DeSantis over the finish
line to win as governor and we MAGA types do not like traitors.
AMEN
see how weak we are toward President Trump
I think they had to change their underwear recently when attendees to the rally in TX were given space within the speech to sing the National Anthem – “spontaneaously.” HIs actions at that moment were in stark contrast to Omar and Pelosi’s responses to their crowds. This tells us that he is in agreement with us, not trying to control us or tell us what to think or be.
I also expect our opposition will need clean underwear more regularly because I expect to see more of the same at future rallys.
I am also hoping that news of this will get out to many people because the singing of the Anthem itself is now the litmus test of where people stand. Just like flying the flag. And created by We the People.
bara,
“…underwear…” I think that was an eye opener! Yuge.
DeSantis is no different from Haley, etc. Are you willing to vote for those corrupt GOPe hacks that have helped destroy this country and actively hate the American people because they don’t have a D by their name? I’m not. I am done voting for lesser of two evils, and frankly none of them can win anyway as they don’t have enough states.
Who do you see in 2028 running that you all would support?
Candace Owens
taking it out of context much?
Maybe I don’t understand what the point is. We are weeks away from an election and maybe I am being sensitive. All I know is that anytime I am out and about I meet refugees coming from blue states that have moved here because of the good job DeSantis has done so excuse me if I do not like all the DeSantis bashing. All of you in the state of Florida go ahead and vote for Crist. I have said it before that if he runs I will be angry about it but right now I have to support him.
I believe Sundance’s intentions here are to point out some facts surrounding DeSantis actions so we can see more of the big picture.The GOP club is positioning against Trump in 2024.Sundance is just pointing out some of their current and future moves they’re making.The disappointing part is that Desantis appears to be a large part of their plan.Trump vs DeSantis appears to be coming and soon.Get your mind ready for this epic battle.The mid term is just the start of the race for the White House in 24.
Don’t think they’ll find a way to keep Trump from running?
DeSantis, if accepted as an alternative, will ease the way.
You have hit the nail on the head. DeSantis is definitely running and it looks like Trump is as well. I don’t believe for a minute that Trump will scare DeSantis away. People will be forced to choose. We live in interesting times.
THEY ARE THE SAME!!!
We’ll never vote for the Uniparty traitors again.
Now we know who DeSantis is…….
You in FL? You voting for Christ?
It’s Crist…
the point is he should be Governor – NOT PRESIDENT!
DeSantis, like virtually all that feel the power and influence potential, never was, is not, and will never be a Donald Trump. First Sasse and now this, the layers are being peeled back and what we are beginning to see is tragically a “me, me, me” mentality. MAGA will never be a torch carried by anyone but Trump, certainly not DeSantis.
I knew he was copying the hand motions but he has clearly been studying and copying all of Trump’s mannerisms down to the way he signs bills! 🤯
I have been pointing this out to my family members all along, 100% right
If this wasn’t so pathetic, it would be funny.
So let’s shut him down now then. Sure it will mean a Democrat governor, but it will teach the MAGA movement a hard but must-learn lesson: good deeds motivated by bad intentions cannot be rewarded.
Yeah, thats a great idea. Maybe we should put Andrew Gillum in office? Because that’s what a Democrat governor means.
I hear and see this type of thing said a lot and it really shows the mindset of most people today… Choice A or Choice B.
Never mind that choice A is the gutter and choice B is a 1/2″ above… We must vote for B!
I mean when that is the standard applied, what’s the point of even having the discussion? But also, why be Pavlov’s well trained dog?
I would argue the only variation besides spelling between either party is the crafted propaganda fed to religious like devoted masses. Otherwise their functions are pretty much identical. At best, you may be able to argue the speed at which either points the train towards the cliff… But neither offer a brake!
Why don’t INDIVIDUALS remove themselves from the parties? I did, and I did it after the Patriot Act. I’ve seen no reason from Republicans to change that and have seen 10000 reasons from them not to.
Once enough people finally find some semblance of personal responsibility in this and some principles, you’ll get change. But it starts with each INDIVIDUAL.
How about we work on CONVERTING our culture? How about Make America Godly Again?
Amen!
Calm down, we are considering, not his gubernatorial future, but his presidential aspirations-different animal
As a Florida voter, I am considering both.
NO.
Let him do his job as Governor because we can see he is still worthy of this position, based on his recent performance. When he wishes to get out of the lane, we firmly tell him NO.
Why throw away a good governor?
We don’t have to go with the Peter principle of overpromoting him.
This does mean that We the People should start looking for who will follow Trump so we can begin the weeding out process now – including non-politicians.
I am.
Because virtually EVERYTHING he’s done since November 2020 has been about the 2024 election first and foremost. And far too many people within MAGA fail to see that.
The best and perhaps only way for them to wake up and realize that this behavior is wrong is a DeSantis defeat in 2022. Him being re-elected and then being defeated in the 2024 primary wouldn’t teach them a thing beyond “don’t go against Trump.”
So, why does DeSantis keep doing this?
Is he afraid of the Fake News media like all the other spineless Republicans?
He should be attacking Democrats and stop endorsing questionable candidates.
So who you voting for governor of Florida?
I don’t live in Florida. Why is DeSantis running ads in my state?
Truth bomb.
Notice how they never respond?
Truth hurts when idols of falsehood are smashed.
Because he’s gearing up for a presidential run on a national level… But using his governor campaign as cover.
If I lived in FL, I’d vote for DeSantis. He is a good Governor. He’s reached his limit of competence. Peter Principle. He is not president material.
Because I am voting in FL I will be voting for Gov. DeSantis and not President DeSantis.
We have some laws on the books in FL that I learned about at the COVID 2022 conference on 10/22 that need to be repealed or revised concerning existing powers over an individual’s medical freedom that will test where the Governor stands.
Hopefully by the next full session of the legislature these laws will be challenged.
Specifically, I am referring to sections of Florida Statute 381 as well as hospital indemnification under FL Statute 768.381
also have some FEC laws on political contribution limits that it appears RDS intends to violate with a majority of his $200 million war chest for a decided FL governor’s race
I am referring to State Statutes. If you want to fail try attacking Federal Statutes. My concern is Florida.
It’s like I said long ago.. If you fled to Florida because of Ron the cringe Desantis you’re just another idol following GOPe cult groupie.
The red flags have been there the whole time.
They will love him and you will all lose.
I see this as a huge mistake. Why would he do this now? I started feeling suspicious when he stayed silent on Mar Largo but this is beyond reprehensible.
Trump made DeSantis. DeSantis would have lost to Putnam. DeSantis ran those cringe worthy commercials about following Trump’s lead. To me, Ron has done a great job, but you don’t stab the guy in the back that got you there. That really bothers me.
100% that kind of stuff makes my traitor antenna go up! Kinda like thumbs down McCain.
I look forward to voting against Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott and all other GOPe, chamber of commerce, globalist hacks.
And convincing as many Republicans as I can to do the same.
PAY ATTENTION FLORIDA!
The RINOS are so desperate to destroy President Trump … that they will use and destroy DeSantis to do it !!!
And he seems willing to be used this way.
His only chance at the presidency is 2024. He gets term limited in 2026 and too much time will elapse until the 2028 campaign gets underway, where he will be forgotten.
He should’a teamed up with Trump for a 2024 ticket. This way he would be assured of two terms in 2028. At only a cost of four years to wait.
DeSantis’ next step up the ladder would be a US Senator.
Until then he should just stick to his own state’s politics.
If he wants to emulate someone he should look to MTG.
I love MTG! And wouldn’t she be an awesome deterrent to any shenanigans if she were Trump’s VP in 2024?
President Trump would sail safely through his next 4 years! MTG, sharp and tough and bold.
(See two can play the game but to our advantage this time, I believe that’s why Ka-ma-la was chosen to be FJB’s VP….)
Awesome Idea! No Way would the ‘Rats want to Impeach and remove President Trump if they had to deal with her!
CS, its amazing the good things one can imagine when one watches the bad guys. 😉
Not true.
In a word, no. We should have learned something from Mike Pence.
It’s like fighting the Cruzers all over again. Sheesh.
(I did not call you who shifted to MAGA ‘Cruzbots,’ out of respect, admiration and gratitude.)
I remember 2015 too. Several of them quit posting here over it
I was at Breitbart dealing with liking DJT and wondering if he could win against Cruz. Commenting was brutal for several months. Took awhile but more and more were moving toward DJT.
Cruz self-destructed nationally when he said “vote your conscience” … I would love to know which RINO convinced him to say that.
Fortunately for Cruz his Texas opponent was the incredibly incompetent and horrible Beto.

Screw the Colorado GOP.
Frankly I’m sick of holding my nose to vote for the Republican when I know deep down they are no different than the schmuck running on the Democrat ticket.
Yep. Both my Senators, cassidy and kennedy, were Dems. Couldn’t win, so switched party to repug. Amd here we are. Hate both of them.
IF Trump runs in 2024, Ron will not be the nominee. There is no way Trump is not the nominee IF he decides to run.
This is the scare tactics of the establishment repukes, in my opinion. As much as MAGA/FL love DeSantis, he is not their first pick. Ron should stick to governor. In my opinion, all this is more about 2028….they are prepping him for a rino/establishment run in 2028…so the repukes can gain control of the party again.
In my opinion. FL beware.
I would not put it past PDJT to make a dark horse pick in a fighter like MTG for VP……as his apprentice for 4 years she would have a leg up on RDS and any other proven RINOs in 2028
SOOO many people are huge DeSantis fans. ALL of this must get out.
FarmerR’s scenario:
If O’Dea is still down in the polls and looses to the incumbent DEM, then RDS can say, he tried to help him.
The media can say that PTrump let a democrat win. (Possibly a dem that would have won anyway.)
So, here’s our Lion waiting, watching all this. I look forward to how he will respond, if/when.
With mail-in voting now taken hold in Colorado the state will get deep blue.
Challenger O’Dea doesn’t have a snowball’s’ chance in he!!.
I’m A Trump voter Trump gave us red flag laws and got rid of Bump stocks we are getting constitinal carry in our state in November. No.mandatory vaccines that Trump wanted.
President Trump did not mandate vaccines; he left it up to the various states.
Which is Constitutional – Governors are in charge of state’s health. That was the Covid 2020 fight – a lot of talking heads predicted Trump would federally mandate policy and he did not. He put the Constitution first. Biden makes a joke of it
Trump has always been against vaccine mandates.
Btw, Red Flag Laws exist in Florida. Ron has had 4 years as Governor and a Republican legislature. Has he made an effort to get rid of them? Nope.
In fact in 2019 Ron said “I hope this will help thwart future shootings”
Btw, most states that have Red Flag Laws are blue states. Florida is the exception.
Aside from what this endorsement says about DeSantis, doesn’t it shed more light on who O’Dea is? I mean, now no one can miss that O’Dea is a RINO – who would be happy to reach across the aisle – and probably eventually go home great wealth.
And isn’t that really what must first be remedied? Or is it too late?
The knee-jerk reactions of the world almost got us all killed during COVID-19 24/7 propaganda by that wing of the democrat party. Research and think before we vote – that would be a novel idea.
Awhile back, Sundance wrote about the establishment Repulsive Party grooming DeSantis. I was not sure that I agreed with him then. DeSantis is a terrific Governor. However, I don’t want him to run for President in 2024. The rogue’s gallery who have endorsed him is a red flag. Ron’s latest endorsement makes it very clear that he is anti-America (for being anti-Trump).
That’s fireworks, folks.
Bought and paid for.
Period
Paragraph
End of discussion.
I found it interesting( not surprising ) that Ronna ticked off all the states she has been in campaigning, including Nevada, but didn’t stop by Arizona, right next door. Nor did she visit Alaska.
The RNC is a club, and if you are MAGA, you aren’t invited.
Still bugs me why she hasn’t been called out for being the worthless person she is.
One thing I find troubling, with DeSantis having this huge warchest of money, and being supported by so many GOPe folks who who have spoken up for him……do they know something about a Trump 2024 run that we don’t.
In other words, who all the money when they know if Trump runs, it’s like burning it in the fireplace?
Well done Sundance. I think that covers it all. Great governor but lousy MAGA candidate.
Young Ronnie is simply not ready for prime time.
Ok governor with good press
Perhaps you put your finger on it. The press has hated all MAGA candidates. Why don’t they hate Ron? Maybe because he really isn’t MAGA at all.
Absolument!
That race is not a good one! It’s like choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea! Trump has a personal and understandable reason to despise this guy. I don’t think DeSantis is doing this to irk Trump, but rather to make that devil and the deep blue sea choice. One is a radical leftist and the other is a RINO. Much as I dislike RINOs I understand his choice. We need more in the Senate that we, at the very least, stand a chance of getting to vote with some rationality.
and you will only get it with MAGA candidates
That’s an awful lot of vitriol to pour out over a single Robo call support ad. Whether you like it or not, there is exactly one Republican running in that Senate race. Would you seriously rather a Democrat held that seat? Party purity purges communists and fascist do. DeSantis’ move is smart for the Party and the Nation.
Or would you rather have a few more own-goals like osoff and warnock? How’s that working out for you?
I supported PJT twice. I support him now. But the GOP pre-dated him, it will exist long after he is gone, and it is much more than him. Defeating whoever is pulling Joe Biden’s puppet strings must be stopped. Even if the imperfect instruments doing so offend Trump, you, or me.
Uh oh! When Ron DeSantis ran for governor, he was way behind until President Donald J. Trump endorsed him. DeSantis should NOT have endorsed O’dea! I used to think so much of DeSantis.
I did not know that – I’m not in Florida … makes this DeSantis for Prez nonsense even worse … Cassidy here in Louisiana did the same thing – as soon as he won he stabbed Trump in the back … we can’t get rid of him until 2026.
My team for 2024 remains Trump / Nunes.
The curtain has been pulled back on DeSantis – just another establishment shill. What a shame. It’s President Trump now or bust for MAGA.
It is really disheartening to come to the understanding that politicians on both sides of the isle are ALL so glaringly corrupt. They don’t do good things for the sake of their constituents. They only do the right thing to push their own national interests. They fear Trump and don’t want the swamp drained because they are ALL swamp creatures.
I am from Colorado and the choice for Senate is poor and I would not even vote for Senator on my ballot except that the alternative is worse than another weak minded RINO. It is a Democrat named Michael Bennett, who is now running for a least his 4th term, and this guy has never caste a vote against the wishes of the far left communists and globalists in his own Party.
We may need the RINO, O’Dea, just for all Party line votes in the Senate. That would be better for us than the Demcommie, Michael Bennett. Colorado is a totally blue State and even electing a RINO would be a big win for us. I have decided to vote for Joe O’Dea because I want to register my disgust with Bennett. Bennett is only popular with the Climate Change crowd and I despise all of them, but Colorado has been like California on Environmentalist issues. My vote won’t help any Republican win this Senate seat and neither will a Ron DeSantis endorsement.
Bennett is a carpetbagger from Connecticut and he moved to Colorado just so he could run for the Senate. He is a back bencher, who has never even rocked the boat on any issue, even though his campaign would have you believe he is a good old fashion moderate Democrat. He campaigns as a stealth bomber and nobody in Colorado even knows why he got elected in the first place.
I agree with Sundance that DeSantis is betting the RINO branch of the Repugs will still be in control of the Party in 2024. I don’t know if this means he is facing a reality he expects in the future, or if he really is a RINO. But I do know that he has endorsed a complete phony and a loser in the Colorado Senate race. So, for all intents and purposes for the MAGA people I do support, I say we should have done a lot better in the Repug Primary than we did here in Colorado. I am left with several options I don’t like, but I have never thought ‘choosing the lessor of the two weevils’ is a bad idea in the long game, and I have been in the game a long time. 2024 will be my 14th Presidential election as a voter.
We are kidding ourselves if we think will ever take over the Repug Party if we don’t find common ground with them to exploit. If we can’t, then we will have to try to win as a third Party and that has never been done on a nationwide basis. Abraham Lincoln’s Republican Party resulted in a Civil War, the likes of which the rest of the world has seldom been exposed to.
O’Dea will be another terrible, horrible McCain.
The corrupt Michael Bennett probably hand picked O’Dea to insure another RAT victory … just like Edwin Edwards in Louisiana – beyond corrupt and running for Guv -again … so … the RATS paid KKK David Duke to run as a Republican – of course Edwards won … and later went to jail.
3rd party won’t work, it has to be an inside job – take over your local GOP. There are so many openings and it’s there for the MAGA taking. We have to become activists even though it goes against our grain. We like the government to leave us alone. But if we don’t get actively involved we’re toast. We have a citizen’s government and when citizens don’t participate we get garbage. We cannot just vote
Several states have this problem, including Oklahoma, where I reside.
“Luke … come over to the dark side…”
Let us forget that Trump made some serious blunders in selecting staff and cabinet posts. More important is to crush the opposition. Replacing McConnell is more important. If not now than 2024.
THEY control the security clearence
THEY control the Senate consent votes
THEY control the Senate recess
There is only a small pool of those even allowed to accept a nomination to a cabinet post.
His only blunders were in letting the good ones go (eg. Manafort, Flynn) on advice of “law enforcement” who were quite busy trying to frame Trump as well.
Trump is guilty of being a Boomer who was raised up in a world that had at least self-correcting government which wasn’t openly political weaponry before the Patriot Act was fully implemented and weaponized during the Obama/Holder/Clinton years.
Pence is to blame for Flynn
Those were the only “choices” McConnell would approve.
Let us not forget Trump made huge blunders picking staff and cabinet members. What’s important is smashing the Dems and managing McConnell.
I’ll repeat my response, too … Those were the only “choices” McConnell would approve.
Well, this should be the nail in the coffin for everyone. I was convinced early on. Trump and only Trump is worthy of our votes.
More DeSantis bashing. Great. Let’s do everything possible to damage our most promising backup to DJT because he’s interfering with the unadulterated Trump worship here.
RINOs are incredibly frustrating. O’Dea committed a foolish unforced error, risking his base support to chase independents who may be unwinnable. He would undoubtedly be at least a Murkowski-level irritation in the GOP Senate caucus. But the equation is simple. Do you hold your nose and vote for a RINO who will abandon you on critical votes, but be with you most of the time, or stay home and fail to oppose a Democrat who will absolutely vote against conservative causes 99+% of the time. Take half a loaf now, then try to do better in the next primary.
better to collapse and burn than to have a globalist RINO ‘conserve’ what Democrat Communists have been building
“our most promising backup to DJT “
de Santis is a backup to Trump as Bush was a backup to Reagan.
At this rate, we’ll be eating crickets in no time. The person that should get the scorn is the idiotic O’Dea, who when running against an incumbent should ask for all the help he needs. Now if he didn’t bash Trump and then got DeSantis’ endorsement, that’s one thing. But to shoot yourself in the foot? Especially running against a long term incumbent? That’s insanity.
“Let’s do everything possible to damage our most promising backup to DJT because he’s interfering with the unadulterated Trump worship here.”
Setting aside that he has been an effective Governor, if you believe that someone who has the endorsements of Jeb Bush and Paul Ryan is a “promising backup,” then maybe you should reassess how many promises you are actually willing to believe.
It’s the fact that you think a barely One Term Guv is ready for the whitehouse and the international world … this whole Prez sham is being orchestrated by the RINORAT globalists … DeSantis will be nothing more than their puppet.
DeSantis has ZERO chance of winning the 2024 nomination if Trump runs.
Sadly my vote has gone to O’Dea. I didn’t know this about him. Still, he would have to be an improvement on Michael Bennet (the Accidental Senator). Colorado Republicans tried to shut Donald Trump supporters out of the caucuses in 2016. A squishy bunch. Anyway, this does it, DeSantis is dead to me.
O’Dea has almost no chance of winning.
Yup. Trump knows the seat is controlled so why not make an example of him for the other Uniparty(R) traitors.
Exactly – he was picked to lose … which makes this DeSantis endorsement a million times worse … did Rove suggest your endorsement DeSantis?
DeSantis kicking the MAGA supporters to the curb will be his downfall. He shouldn’t expect to win anything without their support if he keeps this up. He may even be hurting his chances now in Florida’s election. He will still win, but probably not by the margin people thought.
Yes. Eventually the strings are pulled tight, even for even the marionettes whose strings we can barely discern.
Trump… Scooby Doo’s got nothing on you!
DeSantis will suffer the same fate as Pence.
Perfect example … you know JUDASpence thought he be celebrated and swept into the whitehouse in 2024 … when he betrayed Trump and certified a stolen election for a braindead prop … instead he’s a pariah … despised by WeThePeople … he will never be elected to anything ever again.
Sorry … can’t correct.
I have to admit that regarding Ron D I was looking at him as I wished he were and not as what he appears to be becoming. Word salad I know but I stand corrected and in awe of Sir Sundance. It appears he is right. And as far as being endorsed by Paul Ryan…….even Ajax won’t wash that off.
And so we do not soon forget……………..
Tulsi Gabbard Says Donald Trump Is ‘Unfit to Serve’
https://www.newsweek.com/tulsi-gabbard-says-donald-trump-unfit-serve-after-president-commends-her-voting-present-impeachment-1478855
That was 3 years ago. A lot has changed in her views since then. I haven’t heard her saying that lately, even with the raid on Mar-a-Lago.
Her script was changed. That’s all.
Sundance was right about the Big RINO Club scam in 2016.
The Colorado GOP apparatus is and has always been rabid NeverTrump. My sister was very involved in the Colorado Republican party until the primaries in 2015/16. She was shocked at the way they treated DJT in her caucus in which she was heavily involved. The leaders of the party told local precinct leaders to not even mention DJT, basically they wanted him ghosted. She was a CRUZ supporter at the time but still wanted to be fair to all candidates during the process. My sister is now full board MAGA and a registered independent in Colorado. That O’Dea is a Trump hater is not a surprise. That he is pro abortion and condemned the Supreme Court Decision throwing the question back to the States AND that he would not vote to repeal Obamacare does surprise me. I could never ever vote for a pro abortion candidate or a Obamacare supporter. The Colorado GOP needs a MAGA takeover before anything changes in that state.
If I was ever secretly wavering in my support of Governor DeSantis I waver no more. He is obviously being groomed by RINOs and it tells me all I need to know about him that he is allowing this to happen. I’m sad about that because I thought DeSantis was his own man.
Love that you described him as being, ‘groomed’.
Yup. recruited and groomed. It’s the WEF and Deep State M.O.
I will not get my knickers in a knot about something that is two years down the road. Retaking the House and Senate are the priorities now.
Its not 2 years down the road. Campaign for 2024 will start in September 2023. And no one is asking you to get your “Knickers in a Knot”. And some of us can think about more than one thing at a time. Funny, how the D’s can always talk and take action on a dozen things at a time, but the R’s are always going on about “We can’t waste our time on this, we need to focus on X”. Guess that’s why they’re called “The stupid party”.
typical announcements for a 2024 POTUS run are Jan – Mar 2023….around the corner I would say
The campaign for the next presidential election begins the evening the polls close every four years.
Solid Truth!
The 2024 presidential campaign will begin the second week of November 2022.
Check your knickers !
When you say “retake the House and Senate”, I hope you mean more than simply electing Republicans. We need to elect the RIGHT Republicans who will put the best interest of this country and its citizens ahead of their own. In other words, we need MAGA Republicans in Congress.
It is too late at this date to worry about if the candidate is a RINO or a true America First candidate. VOTE Republican so the control of both Houses return to Republican.
Vote in the Primary to eliminate the RINOs and put America First candidates into the General.Repeat until America First RULES the Republican party for the rest of this and the next century. Teach your kids and have them teach their kids.
In Ohio, our primaries produced the same ol’ same ol’s. Ohio needs work.
The republiCON party here detests change as well as oversight.
JD Vance is not a RINO. The rest, well, that’s on the Ohio voters. I have my shithole in CT to shovel out. I have gloves, waders, and a nice shovel. Sadly, I think the shovel has a hole in it because no matter how hard I shovel, plenty of shit still falls back into the hole here in CT. I know there are plenty of shovelers here in CT. Now it’s a matter of how Dominon/DieBold gets us here.
We got JD Vance this time which good be a good change. Hopefully, anyway.
Now, the rest of the state seats, not so much. DeWine is a poser and the state government seats have RINOs running.
I’m disappointed in Jim Jordan since he said he’d support McCarthy for speaker.
DeWine needs to go away and let Husted run for governor. I think he’d do a great job.
At least Democrat election cheating hasn’t overtaken Ohio yet.
I still remember Jim Jordan working some issue up to the point of victory and when Trump asked him to head up some REAL ACTION – some Prosecution, if I remember right…. not just Congressional HOT AIR, Suddenly Jordan “FELT INSPIRED TO LEAVE” – took his little toy caboose and DEPARTED for some other Parts, where it was never heard that he accomplished a THING, so when the pressure was off the First issue, THEN here he came trotting back to Congress again.
I trust him like I do a den full of rattlesnakes.
And McCarthy – John Boehner’s Protegé SAME AS IS PAUL RYAN and ERIC CANTOR – the FOUR BLIND MICE in the same Camera shot for 20 yrs together – Papa and 3 Cubs.
DeWine – nothing good to say about that right there! Either!!!
Ah, when they KNEW that Hillary’s Campaign has WATERGATED TRUMP TOWERS in 2016, and TRUMP wanted investigations and prosecutions for it – After cozying up to Trump and using the Floor of Congress to showcase himself, suddenly went cold and without Just Cause, he and other Lefty RINOS claimed Trump was demanding EXECUTIONS, even before any solid Evidence of who or what took place. WHICH NEVER COULD DESCRIBE TRUMP.
But the INVESTIGATIONS and SERIOUS PROSECUTIONS were MORE than WARRANTED. MORE than WELL EARNED! AND STILL DESERVING OF RIGHTFUL PUNISHMENT.
Jim Jordan always reminds me of Trey Gowdy–good on TV by ultimately worthless.
To get rid of RINOs in primaries, rinse and repit is the right strategy.
Best if real MAGA candidates are speaker and senate majority leaders in the next congress. Unfortunately, money corrupts.
But Fortunately God always shows up with Daniel 5 Moment – and then God Disposes:
1., 2., 3., 4.

24. Then was the part of the hand sent from the presence of [the Most High God], and this writing was inscribed.
25. And this is the [a]inscription that was written, mene, mene, tekel, upharsin—numbered, numbered, weighed, divisions.
26., 27., 28.
The pick the better of two evils Gambit has never worked.
When it’s down to R vs D, at this juncture, you need the R in the seat. For example, I understand that Oz is what a centrist democrat was 25 years ago. Nonetheless I’ll take Oz over Frankenstein.
I agree. We must first STOP Democrat control of everything & get them out of powerful committees. Once Republicans are in control, then we can gradually replace Rino’s with Conservatives. We see more & more of Conservatives running now! After that: Term- Limits & Voter Integrity by same day voting with Photo ID. Same for Absentee ballots, Photo ID.
That is a Plan to Fail, and we have 70 yrs to show for that plan being firmly in place – to Prove its Total LACK of efficacy.
If you want the crooks out, then Prosecute them for their crimes.
Instead, we allowed them to harden their defenses against the Citizens who have the SOVEREIGNTY and RIGHT to prosecute Criminals in Office. WITHOUT their Partners in Crime having to agree with the Citizens to get it done!
Constitutionally.
A huge bundle of Voters most of whom REFUSE to vote in PRIMARIES, say that EVERY ELECTION CYCLE.
It has NEVER worked for the Constitutional Supporters YET! I am 71, and have voted every election since I was 18.
You better figure out it’s better to ROCK THE BOAT NOW – and start forcing PROSECUTIONS where WARRANTED than by promoting KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD. The Fuse inside your “Can” bomb is AT THE NUB, now! You ain’t got any road LEFT to kick a can down, if you blow this one on DIM SUPPORTERS and ENABLERS. Thanks to the Great Wall of China you guys have ENABLED for 70+ YEARS.
I never knew folks refuse to vote in Primaries. Why is that?
Exactly So. RINOS are worse than Dims. How MUCH the Dims have done NOW – BECAUSE of Mitch McConnell and his Cadre of RINOS that all vote LOCKSTEP with Dims on ANY THING AT ALL!
I am SOOOO shocked. I wonder if it would have been different if DJT had been courting DeSantis for his veep. Why did I think De Santis was a MAGA Republican? Did you think that?
Remember he COPIED PDT’s iconic hand movements from day 1.
You better figure it out before then or we will have more Bushes and McCains.
This country cannot afford any more RINOs.
