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.
Ron DeS.: 2 observations from afar -1) He is a prototype ambitious Politician ( Remember , looking like will now have 4 runs for different higher offices in less than 11 years -House(2012)Rubio seat (2015-2016) abortive try dropped it , when Rubio dropped Presidential run and Rubio instead ran for re-election , Governor 2018 and now President ?(2022/2023 ?). and 2) He is also Consultant driven , follows their directives -to his demise I think – This endorsement , ML silence , top Gov commercial , etc , distancing from PDJT – REMEMBER what Kari Lake said at Ariz. rally “ Consultants telling Me to Distance myself from PDJT” – she said she told them to go smoke some more on Hunters pipe … But they are telling Ron S. Same and HE is listening to them and all in with it .IMHO
The fact that he allowed the FBI to raid Mar-a-lago says it all.
Agree 100%. He had the opportunity to walk through the fire with Donald Trump. He chose to help set the trap
First up I no longer trust DeSantis. There’s now too much surfacing about this unit that started even before his association with the mega donor committed to DeSantis that also donated a substantial amount to NY Hochul. Neocon Inc. slips even more every week (Levin etc) ready to jump to DeSantis. How many need to be reminded that what DeSantis has accomplished in Florida he did with an allied FL state House AND Senate – something Trump NEVER knew where in fact he lived the opposite, and hard. A Trump second term? He never had his FIRST. Either way he’ll likely be falsely indicted the remanants of which is unknown, to me or anyone else. My loyalty to Trump on so many counts is well founded and near impossible to break.
What do you mean NEAR impossible? REAL loyalty is or is not. “Near” is bogus!
Baris spoke of this.
If De Santis makes this play he will be on the losing end.
Trump is MAGA.
I pray you’re right. There’s a lot of normie Dopes on “our side”. And though they are unworthy of it – claim the Right to vote, even when they stay home.
This is true, they’re still watching Fox and parroting everything.
He is also the GOP in 2022 and 2024, regardless of what establishment types and never Trumpers wish.
It is not now, nor has it ever been about Trump. It is a grass roots movement of the middle class to regain control of the government. Just like the tea party. I believe that MAGA has surpassed Tea Party because it managed to not get co-opted by establishment types.
If he goes this route, he will not survive it, no matter how great he is at being a governor.
One thing about the Trump hating NeverTrumpers, is that smart is not their forte. DeSantis aligns himself with them to his own detriment. They will make him crash and burn then they will move to the next shiny NeverTrump object.
I hope you are prescient!
DeSantis fooled me after Trump endorsement, when he started to imitate Trump’s iconic hand gestures while speaking in public. And now… planning to run against him?
Too bad. I thought De Santis might be the real deal, but it seems he’s just another GOPe. We’ve seen this before. The GOP establishment called Reagan and his follower “Rightwing extremists” but after Reagan’s 8 year presidency the GOP RINO wing changed their Rhetoric. Suddenly, the GOPe candidates like McCain, Dole, the Bushes, would start use conservative rhetoric during their campaigns. It was all a fake. They didn’t change their policies, just their rhetoric.
De Santis is the GOPe attempt to mimic MAGA rhetoric while maintaining the same ol’ GOPe policies.
The questions that need to be asked by DeSantis is “why did you make this move, why did you wait 5 days to comment on the raid of Trump’s Florida residence and why have you gone mainstream republican consultants?”
Correction: “The questions that need to be asked OF DeSantis ARE…”
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/guidelines-for-comments/
7.) SPELLING AND PUNCTUATION – This is not school and we do not demerit for poor spelling, nor do we allow anyone to call others out for the same.
Softball questions and prepared answers. Fake
I wouldn’t ask him a single thing. Ignore him entirely and let him stew in his own juice. Or go all out and crucify him by filling social media with hate for him. I can hardly wait to see how PDJT handles this news.
Excellent articulation of what is going on.
The Deep State will do whatever it needs to do in order to maintain its power. It will subvert anyone to its purposes because it has unlimited money and the manpower. Moloch never sleeps. Whatever good will I had for DeSantis is fast evaporating. If he stays in Florida through 2024 he may regain some credibility among the base.
Good comment! Can you imagine the courage it takes today for an honest, pro-Constitution patriot to run for political office in the USA, much less win? Thank God for President Trump, who showed us it can be done. (Helps to be a billionaire, no doubt).
Donald Trump, Kari Lake, Jim Jordan and PAs Scott Perry are about the only politicians who have earned my respect and, so far, loyalty.
So obviously you don’t live in FLORIDA! Take a deep breath and review what DeSantis has done for the GREAT STATE of FLORIDA! Y’all keep stirring the 💩! Why? If DeSantis thinks O’Dea needs his support to beat the Democraps, then so be it!
Reread above article, then comment. DeSantis NEVER.
“If DeSantis thinks O’Dea needs his support to beat the Democraps”.
O’Dea has NO shot at beating the Democrap” senate candidate.
Consequently, if that Rons real reason for deciding to suddenly endorse and campaign for O’Dea AFTER O’Dea, unprovoked, attacked President Trump/said he’d work to defeat him during a CNN interview and AFTER President Trump said MAGA voters were too smart to vote for O’Dea, then Florida Ron is too Realpolitik stupid to be Americas President.
Btw is Super Guv Ron also campaigning to elect the Republican candidate running to defeat the current “democrap” governor of Colorado? Nope. Ron’s just supporting the Anti Trump Senate candidate Trump just uncharacteristically said NOT to support.
Let those with eyes SEE.
He never dealt with the stolen election, although there was plenty of proof sent to him, and he has never supported eVerify for FL.
Jordan has become wallpaper.
If, as others here apparently opine, the 2024 campaign in reality begins directly after the mid-terms, then DeSantis, in addition to being a lame duck if he wins in November, will IMO de-facto abdicate his focus and responsibility as chief executive to focus on 2024 if his intention is to run for POTUS as soon as he is re-elected. However, that’s in the future, not now.
IMO, the 2024 election will be far more pivotal to the health of the nation than 1980 was, among post-war elections. Our very survival may depend on it, presuming the country doesn’t implode before then. Having engaged chief executives in all states is key to that survival. RDS proved it during Ian.
I won’t presume anything about RDS, rather will take observations of his actions, and insight from knowledgeable Treepers, and form an independent opinion and choice if he becomes a national candidate. All in due time.
Btw who is running for his Lt Gov ? You may want to check – that is how NY ended up with -“nobody knew her name” – Hochel , But nobody was more surprised than she was . So Ron is Presidential timber bc of Ian …. That was easy …but don’t presume etc etc
Implode ?!?
The f’g senile CCP paid coot in the WH could explode the world next week.
I will withhold judgement until the Gov. sits down for a no holds barred interview and is made to explain himself on this and a myriad of issues. If he declines, sidesteps, wavers, equivocates and attempts to b.s. then he’s dead to me – sadly.
you may be waiting for a long time ….
Read Sundance’s list in the article. One or 2 maybe ok, but when the list is long as it is there is nothing he can say to “fool” me.
By the way, we must declare that List by Sundance BRILLIANT! His research is always pluperfect!
Good point, but do you believe DeSantis would sit for anything but beach balls pitched at 2 mph? It would be another boot lick exercise exactly like Glen Beck’s recent “interview” of Bill Barr which was SHAM. How about hosted by Cuck Hannity and his per appearance pal Lindsay Graham. DeSantis announcing his support of O’Dea is quite more than enough to telegragh his position and intent. Past this, it seems DeSantis is having delusions of grandeur off accomplishments in FL. of which he’d have NONE without the cooperation of the Florida State Assembly AND Senate. Trump had Ryan, McCarthy, McConnell, yet still accomplished more than any president in this century and the last. I have the receipts.
I’m still waiting for Joe to admit how much money he and Hunter have collected and promised from China…
Oh, puh—leeze!!!
Well, if that ever happens, we’ll learn a lot by the questions the media ask him…
https://gfycat.com/idolizedoffbeatclingfish
A former cheer leader for DeSantis, now a wiser person having campaigned for GWB and Romney. “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice shame on me.” I will not be shamed again. These bought and paid for politicians obsessed with a craven desire for power must be purged from politics.
Some things take time to reveal. Sad really.
Im always a bit suspicious of anyone that seems to be forced on us by the media. This is not a new thing. ( I notice FNC is now having Kari L on after ignoring her for months.)
They will push anti-MAGA without calling them anti-MAGA until they either get defeated or exposed. Many of my friends that are past Trump supporters are falling into the I love DeSantis mode. ” I hope he runs.” Or the “I’d love to see a Trump/DeSantis ticket”. Im sending on this article to some of them now, so they can see the true nature of the GOPe.
Notice too that Fox Neuze is also attempting to resurrect MeAgain Kelly. I was wrong about this Fraud thinking by now she’d be hawking “Jimmy Choo” knockoffs on some home shopping channel. MeAgain has to $upport her stay at home husband who writes novels that go over about as well as lead balloons.
Methinks RDS has crossed the Chappaquiddick.
Do they truly “love DeSantis” and our Constitutional Republic?
Or do they actually love political blood sport entertainment and want to watch a new gladiator fight and die in the arena while they watch the drama unfold on TV?
If they truly loved Ron, his young family and their fellow Americans, they wouldn’t be so neo antoinette selfish. They would want Ron to be Florida First focused and concentrate on being a good public servant governor for the citizens of his state and an inspiration to other governors.
All you should need to know to disqualify DeSantis is that he supported the TPP and voted FOR fast track authorization of it. China had already been invited to join TPP, and all member countries would be required to conform their internal laws to Trans Pacific Commission regulations. American soverignty would have come to an end. DeSantis voted FOR this. And this should be the end of the discussion of DeSantis.
^ There it is folks. All I needed to know.
Thanks, Trapper
Fwiw, Ron did this while Trump was loudly campaigning AGAINST TPP and Fast Track approval.
Well that sucks.
had always been of the opinion that Pres Trump didn’t want to start a new party so much, as to join/merge with the GOP and insert MAGA into the GOP, and things seem well on the way. the Fla guv would have been just the guy who, with Pres Trump’s blessing, would have been just the guy to do it.
people change. the fla guv could have moved from GOPe to GOPMAGA, and prob pulled it off. but no. the fla guv has no courage. too bad.
so the fla guv is dead in our discussions from now on. who’s next for vetting?
As President Trump has said over and over again, “you never really know who someone is, including yourself, until you’ve been tested”.
Personally I appreciate his realistic common sense when it comes to people and life.
Fortunately, President Trump has a special talent for getting the best out of people. Thank God.
In real life, sneks can often be faaar more useful than loyal allies, especially for an experienced snek handler like President Trump.
Ron Johnson.
I’m going to guess that the NeverTrump statement by O’Dea will end any chance he had. There will be many MAGA supporters who will simply not vote in the race. I know I couldn’t vote for that SBMF. I was going to joyously vote for DeSantis but now I’m voting for the lessor of two evils. I had my doubts about DeSantis going back to his failure to call for constitutional carry last year. All my worst fears are confirmed. Just another Harvard lawyer politician. DeSantis should put a for sale sign on his jacket lapel.
I held my nose and voted for O’Dea, but pushing Nikki Haley for anything will eliminate any further support. Not sure how far I can trust Tim Scott, too.
You can’t trust Tim Scott at all. He was at the Sea Island, GA Never Trump confab.
Looks like Faux is starting to roll Tim Scott out as MAGA (VP?):
“Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., said on Wednesday that he doesn’t believe the raid conducted on Former President Trump’s Mara-A-Lago estate was only about recovering presidential records.
“I cannot imagine that they are literally looking for something on the Presidential Records Act. There’s no way in the world that it’s only about that,” Scott told “The Brian Kilmeade show.”
“That would be shocking, stunning, and unprecedented. The truth is, they continue to look for ways to literally put him in a corner and put the targets on him, it feels like to me,” Scott said.”
https://www.foxnews.com/media/tim-scott-kilmeade-show-no-way-world-trump-raid-presidential-records
“On Sunday, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) appeared on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, during which he praised President Trump as “the most powerful voice in politics without any question.” He also didn’t rule out joining Trump on the 2024 GOP ticket if Trump runs.”
https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/matt-margolis/2022/02/21/is-senator-tim-scott-the-right-running-mate-for-trump-n1560768
“Fox News’ Steve Doocy called out Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) for making a disingenuous attack on Attorney General Merrick Garland over the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago.
The accusation of lying came Tuesday on Fox & Friends after Ainsley Earhardt defended Donald Trump for taking classified materials to his Florida estate after leaving the White House.
Earhardt defended the former president by suggesting his predecessors may have also taken sensitive materials out of the White House, even though the National Archives already shot down Trump’s attempt to compare his situation to that of Barack Obama.”

Are you seriously going to vote Crist, tha’ts so MAGA of you.
Again, did you read his post? He clearly said he is voting DeSantis for Governor but to paraphrase… he will hold his nose and do it, but before he would have been happy to vote for him.
I believe he’s saying he was going to vote joyously to voting for the lesser of 2 evils. His attitude changed is all and I know how he feels. My choice will be McCarthy (or not) and it’s depressing
Being definitely against Ron for president =/= being against Ron beating Crist and being Florida’s governor for another 4 years.
Conflating two totally different things, why?
Duper or still duped?
Either way, you are in my heartfelt prayers as is President Trump and everyone in our American family.
Yalie undergrad where they have Skull and Bones membership and influence
A “Yalie undergrad” who joined the same frat Bush Sr and Jr belonged to.
The first thing on the agenda of a Republican controlled Congress is for the Republicans to banish their key leadership back to their original seats in Congress or they will continue to blow this opportunity again!!
Well dang… “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.”
Looks like we know who won’t be Trump’s running mate in 2024.
My current fav pick to be Trumps 2024 running mate is the Chalk Talk guy, uber MAGA, media savvy Steve Cortes.
Two women seem to be in the running for Trump’s VP; Stefanik and the fighter who has a long name thatyhas skipped off from my mind. I think Green is in her name. I’ve c0ntributed to her campaign but never wrote her name down.
Stefanik is uniparty
In 2016 Sundance had this Hollywood square setup for the Election called the big club vs President Trump. Thank you, Sundance you open my eyes to the GOPe con game, and its player and I love the timeline to back up a person’s point.
Any questions?
This article sounds in tone exactly like Karl Rove making ads to support Democrat Shapiro over Repub Mastriano in PA Guvs race
Karl Rove supports DeSantis.
If you want to see the faces of the new Nazis, here is a link:
https://www.gfanzero.com/about/
We are talking about Mike Bloomberg, Mark Carney, Mary Shapiro, et al…
I suspect DeSantis is aligned with this power group.
https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/carney-addresses-tension-after-bankers-balked-at-co2-proposal-1.1836593
I’m not saying we should erect an altar or a statue honoring Sundance … yet,
but once again he was right about something many doubted and has proven his Sage status.
DeSantis is a tool.
he has been purchased.. and for how much.. with inflation.. that 200 is worth what.. 160 now.. and getting lower each day.. soon it won’t be worth anything..
yes.. he is doing good things for the state.. but he is allowed to do this.. for now.. because the party needs your vote..
if he gets into the pilot’s seat.. all of that goes away.. and he becomes just another Uniparty deep state politician..
at least you can see the democrats coming at you.. the republicans will stab you in the back..
I was a democrat.. then a republican.. then independent.. and Tulsi Gabbard is looking pretty darn good right now..
she never attended a weedy league type college.. she had the chance to sell her soul for trinkets and sheckels.. but didn’t.. so neither side of the uniparty likes her now.. and that is a very big plus..
there will always be something that you don’t agree with about picking a political leader.. but with her at least you know where she really stands.. she stands on her own rock.. and I can respect that..
How does Tulsi being a WEF young leader and also saying she could not vote to acquit Trump on the bogus impeachment charge because he was guilty of wrongdoing factor in?
She was WEF, and quit and lost the WEF support. It looks like this so far but who knows…
Doubtful…
This is a fight we don’t need. I wish Trump would declare already and pick de Santis as his running mate.
No more Pences or Bushes as backstabbing VPs.
“I wish Trump would”…..”Pick De Santis as his running mate” and VP.
Offering a pattern recognition test:
JFK/LBJ
Reagan/Bush
Trump/Pence
Perhaps revisit cheering for
Trump/DeSantis and/or revealing to CTH readers that you didn’t read or comprehend what Sundance wrote before “commenting”.
Hoping for a glorious Saul to Paul road trip to happen soon. Bon voyage. :-).
Ron DeSantis is not a street-fighter, so he had best tread lightly here. The 2026 nomination and election were probably his had he exercised just a modicum of patience and endorsed President Trump for 2024. When push comes to shove, Donald Trump will turn around twice and there won’t be anyone standing but him. And, yes, he won in 2020. Carry on, America.
They think he can take Trump out. It’s a set up.
They hope the fight, even if unsuccessful, will damage Trump, divide MAGA and increase the number of Never Trumpers; A group that began thanks to the viciously effective, CIA guided, anti Trump psyops from Team Cruz.
Why?
So Trump, if he’s the presidential nominee, loses the general election.
Based on their calculations, that loss will make Trump weak enough to finally take out. Once Trump is eliminated, destroying/coopting the MAGA Movement will be easier than what they did to the Tea Party.
My DeSantis bubble burst the day after THE RAID.
No matter how much he emulates 45’s speaking gestures, he’s not the real deal and bonafide MAGA people won’t fall for this RINO sh!t any more.
There are too many up-and-coming fantastic MAGA candidates this cycle who will bury him nationally — starting with K Lake and others.
He’s lost before he even started.
You’re RIGHT! BRAVO! I vote for Kari Lake, now running for Govenor of Arizona. She is BRILLIANT, fun to watch make mincemeat of the Press.
So, keep him in Florida.
Better than a Democrat Governor.
I like DeSantis as a Governor and would certainly vote for him over Crist, but when Paul Ryan and Jeb Bush are so vocally supportive, that says no thanks on Presidential material.
Plus I would be somewhat annoyed that essentially a year into his second term he would be ditching the job I just elected him for to run for President.
Like Sundance has mentioned, most of donations to DeSantis come from big corporations and billionaires. Much of funding for Trump is small donations from his supporters.
Combine that with the Establishment figures singing his praises, and red flags are everywhere. You have to be blind not to notice them.
Ok, so you are gonna elect Crist over DeSantis just so YOU aren’t annoyed IF DeSantis chooses to go presidential? You want to vote for a despicable, worthless Democrap to lead the state of Florida? Crist and his Demo Deamons would undo EVERYTHING DeSantis has done ! You know that BUT still slam DeSantis? There is a position called Lieutenant Governor , remember? Da folks are insane!
Did you even read what OL wrote?
“I like DeSantis as a Governor and would certainly vote for him over Crist”….
Notice the straw man argument offered. When presented with info that threatens comfy beliefs its common for people to become protective/defensive rather than courageously curious.
Psychologists call this state cognitive dissonance that, unfortunately is seen as shameful rather than natural.
Anyway notice the straw man that was created then attacked as if it were real. Notice everything claimed to have been said is actually a hallucination ie made up.
A tell that someone may be experiencing cognitive dissonance is the word “so”. If in a state of cognitive dissonance and in defense mode, what comes after the word “so” will be disconnected from what they claim to be reacting to. They will make up what was said then attack that instead of dealing with what was really said.
Personally, I try to pray for rather than attack people who are in that state.
As far as Trans Pacific “Partnership” support id concerned I don’t remember it being brought to a VOTE. But I know PDT rightfully killed it first. I saw this list posted on https://patriots.win/p/15K6cFxDwT/ron-desantis-in-2024-is-jeb-bush/c/
Wars are no longer declared by Congress. Treaties which surrender our sovereignty would never be brought to Senate per the Constitution (Bush signed us onto Agenda 21 without Senate ratification)
The skids were greased for TPP. Think of it as the Pacific version of the EU. It would have surrendered our national sovereignty to an international commission. It was to be signed by the 45th President – either Jeb or Hillary would have done so. Then came Trump and his deplorables.
bye bye DeSantis another bought and paid for “groovy governor”….not! So many liars, cheaters, this man is not honest regarding his intentions period!
After the next Trump presidency, I want Kari Lake. DeSantis has done an excellent job here in Florida, and he should stay here.
It appears to me that DeSantis dissing PDJT is a clear indication he wants to split the Republican vote to insure a Uniparty win.
He’s dead to me.
Kinda crazy how so many of us believe in the same things yet we are bickering amongst each other.
yep
Yes, he could have, and SHOULD HAVE made other choices. Sad.
The mistake DeSantis is making is that he is assuming that Trump is going to be indicted and will be unable to run in 2024. A lot of people have made the mistake of claiming the walls were closing in on Trump for the past 6 years. How has that turned out for them?
People won’t take kindly to a vulture in wait for the nomination.
de Santis did not make such a calculated decision to run. He was not positioning himself as either a backup or a failsafe. He was specifically selected, groomed, and assigned by the Uniiparty to challenge and remove Trump.
My antidote to Establishment anti Trump/MAGA schemers is…
In 2024 there are only two choices:
Trump or Trump.
Father or son; Eric or Don.
Four more years or eight.
Hopefully this will, if it becomes a widespread response, not only protect President Trump but also young Ron and his family.
Sundance, dang if you didn’t call it with your article several months ago that DeSantis is yet another swamp creature. Well done sir
Governor DeSantis, if you want to be credible you must publicly proclaim that Trump and his policies created a Great Economy, Secured OUR border, Energy Independence, Respect, Law & Order, or you are not a true MAGA, just another Establishment Politician!
His invisibility on the day, and for days after, of the Mar A Lago raid was a big disappointment to me. Honestly, the day the raid was happening I expected DeSantis to show up at MAL with a cavalry.
Despite my dismay in his inaction and silence, I have since been actually leaning in his favor. But this announcement of support for another state’s Senate candidate who vocalizes support for power-hungry conniving RINO snake Nikki Haley tears it for me.
Sundance’s list is long and convicting for Ron DeSantis. Wonder what they did to flip DeSantis onto their kleptocrat team.
Is it true that every man has a price?
My limited experience in recruiting and supporting patriot, limited government and constitutional candidates at local and state levels is that the GOPe will oppose them in the Primary and give limited or no support if they win the Primary. It was an uphill battle – the GOPe’s candidates who win the Primary had been screened, recruited and groomed years before we showed up with a patriot.
With the Tea Party movement, the GOPe went even further, flat out attacking or embracing Tea Party candidates to death.
It is a sophisticated bit of psyops.
I gave him grace on the Mar-A-Largo raid. I had a faint hope that the junta did not inform him. I would never have chosen him over President Trump of course but now as far as I am concerned, he can stay in Florida. His true colors are bare for all to see.
I was skeptical for awhile. But CTH laid out the receipts. Got it.
Me too. I’ve been campaigning for DeSantis to be PDJT’s Veep, but thanks, Sundance, your list did it for me! DeSantis won’t ever leave Florida. He insured that for himself and I doubt he will figure it out. “More’s the pity!”
Damn shame he sold himself out. He had this wrapped up, serve Florida, wait, then run for president after Trump. Ron would not have had to sell his soul or even raise a dime.
Hm, seems he is not so smart afterall. Oops, outed himself.
After DeSantis completes his second term as Governor, he can go quietly into the night. I WILL not be voting for him if he stands for POTUS. Why the hell would anyone want the Bushs’s back in the WH?
Perhaps, if chastened, he will put his Harvard lawyer training to good use by running to be Florida’s AG after completing his term as governor.
State AGs like Ken Paxton are showing American how lawfare warriors can protect citizens from vicious DC Fedzillas.
Maybe DeSantis isn’t as smart as we had thought. They are using him.
They want to use him to take out Trump..They think he can get the
MAGA vote back for the Republican establishment.. So they are
now all Rah! Rah! Ron…Even the Dems are not really trying hard
to take him down cuz they don;t want to taint him before he
serves his purpose to fool us MAGA folks.. That DeSantis is kinder
gentler MAGA..
But even if DeSantis did somehow win. Once he does the Dems
will “Trump” him.. and they will have gotten thier second goal
DeSantis out of FL making it ripe for thier pickings..
I daresay there ain’t no true MAGA folk that he can fool. Trying to “take out Trump” is NOT the way to get the MAGA vote.
Nikki Haley? Tim Scott? Who else, John Kasich and Tulsi Gabbard? Is DeSantis paying attention?
Based on my lurks on never trump social media where hyping Ron to get rid of Don was hatched ages ago, Youngkin is their backup in case Ron doesn’t pan out.
Ron DeSwampis…
Once again, Republican billionaire Philip Anshutz, Never Trumper, owns the Washington Examiner.
I think Desantis has been doing his best to mimick Trump and MAGA and it’s helped Florida a lot. However if he thinks he can challenge Trump for the presidency 2023 he’s kidding himself. If the GOPe wants to completely implode then these moves will certainly do it. Let the elites sit in their self inflicted stew ,I am hearing about more democrats that are waking up to the Trump train, let’s make room for them.
Disheartening. More than likely, he is making friends with all the well-connected ones. The Mar a Lago raid might have been the catalyst that convinced him to run. I doubt it. The raid is simply the continuation of the vendetta and it will never stop. Considering the level of hatred on the left and the almost equal level of hatred by the establishment right and any sane politician would distance themselves from Trump. Kari Lake is not politically sane; God bless and protect her and may she win in a landslide. Kind of like Donald himself. DeSantis appears to be trying to make nice with the beast and hope to get it somewhat on his side as so many republicans do. Not a good idea.
Trump likely won’t run anyway. Get over it. If he does, I’ll vote for him. But I think he’ll realize his time is past and use his powers to ultimately support an electable republican. Let’s be glad we seem to have one in the works…. even if he is establishment supported. My strongest friends are all MAGA to the extreme, but the will support him if that’s how it works out.
Please read alot more of what Sundance has written then spend time pondering what you’ve read.
Its now or never time. Win or perish time. This isn’t a time of entertaining political election competions. We are in a very real Lord of the Rings war with very real saurons and orcs. If we lose there won’t be any do overs or next times.
Sometimes we have to trust our gut instincts…the Lynard Skynard ‘Sweet Florida’ song for Ron DeSantis — was, and is, cloyingly sweet and creepy. Shame on DeSantis.
DeSantis only won the governor’s race because Donald J Trump endorsed him DreSantis is repaying the favor with betrayal…..nice (Not)
President Trump not only endorsed Ron but campaigned hard for him.
Out of 8 MILLION plus votes, Ron became Florida’s governor by getting 30,000 more votes than Gilliam.
Thank God for President Trump.
Personally I look at this as DeS throwing down the gauntlet @PDJT. A very stupid move imo…
Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan, and Joe O’Dea — all rabid anti- Trumpers…
Gee, Ron— talk about drawing a line in the sand.
We see you clearly now.
We hear you loudly.
Enjoy Florida.
You are a fine governor.
You will not find the rest of MAGA country supportive of a run for the presidency.
You are not who we want.
Choose your friends wisely.
You don’t want to make enemies out of millions of MAGA voters.
We cannot afford anymore RINO errors.
Damn shame, he did not need to go there… He won the governorship on a shoestring and a prayer, along with a last minute Trump endorsement. Ron owed these establishment thugs nothing, he won on his own. He should have thrown off their yoke the minute he was sworn into office. Now, they made him, they control and own him, and can destroy him with a push of the button. What a damn fool.
Fwiw President Trumps endorsement of Ron was NOT a “last minute” endorsement. President Trumps hard work to get Ron elected is THE reason Florida’s governor isn’t named Gilliam and Ron isn’t a political nobody.
DeceptiRon has even mastered Trump’s gesticulations confirming that he is an even cheaper imitation of Donald Trump than Mike Pence is of Ronald Reagan.
