When politicians in Mexico and South America take financial payments from corporations and billionaires, we call it “corruption.” When politicians in the United States take financial payments from corporations and billionaires, we call it “lobbying.” The process is identical.
Billionaire Citadel Investment hedge fund CEO Ken Griffin (pictured above, center) is one of the top purchasers of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for a 2024 presidential bid. In a recent article for Politico, Mr. Griffin openly explains what he expects from his investment in DeSantis:
WASHINGTON DC – […] He has given nearly $60 million to federal Republican candidates and campaigns this election cycle. That puts Griffin behind just liberal billionaire George Soros, who’s given more than $128 million to Democrats, and Richard Uihlein, who aligns himself with far-right candidates and organizations, at about $62 million.
[…] While he’s supporting one of this cycle’s biggest culture warriors in DeSantis, Griffin said most hot-button issues — abortion rights, battles over sex education and LGBTQ rights — don’t define his interests. He wants to improve the diversity of the GOP and blunt the vein of populism that has complicated the party’s relationship with the corporate world — two things he’s consulted with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy about.

(1) Stop the populist movement and (2) get the republican party back in alignment with the multinational “corporate world.”
Pretty blunt, but hey, he’s rich enough to be honest. So, there you have it…. This is what Griffin expects Ron DeSantis to do for him. Any questions?

Trump endorsement scorecard: 217 wins 19 losses.
Sure looks like Ken’s pissing into the wind.
Seems the last wind was blown by Dominion in five states. And here we are.
A few days left and we will see.
The machines are a part of it but truckloads of fake ballots being delivered in the middle of the night is the real culprit.
The media is still shouting about the “Big Lie” and attempts to shut down anyone who believes there was corruption in the 2020 vote. It is reminding me of the sinking media ship and the rats are about to attempt to jump off.
Well of course , the media and dem’s will always scream it’s a lie but the fact is, it is a mathematically & statistical impossibility for Biden to have won.
Maybe this is why President Trump is hated so much by both sides. He’s rich enough that he can’t be bought off by other billionaires. He can tell these guys to pack sand unless they’re on his team. Not the other way around. The others will be beholden to their donors just as someone that’s been blackmailed must do as they’re told by the blackmailer. Or maybe it’s more like the relationship between the drug addict and his pusher. The politician gets hooked on the power and the donor has the ability to take it all away.
The founders and original members of Congress were citizen servants that didn’t want to spend any more time in Washington than they had to. They had businesses and farms to run. The government was a necessary evil to those men.
BY FAR THE BEST MOST ACCURATE ARTICLE EVER WRITTEN ABOUT TRUMP AND THE REAL REASON THEY HATE HIM , IT’S NOT WHAT MANY THINK. It’s written by a former lifelong democrat.
Truly brilliant article
Op-Ed: Why the World Hates Donald J. Trump
https://rightwirereport.com/2020/05/21/op-ed-why-the-world-hates-donald-j-trump/
PDJT fixed problems.
Politicians fundraise off of problems.
Trump was ending extended military excursions.
The war machine and politicians make money off of extended military excursions.
Peace in the Middle East because of PDJT was an existential threat to much of Washington.
The war machine doesn’t want peace.
Ahead of schedule and under budget. That is how business works…or tries to.
Government, gets rich off delays and war.
Trump did not like seeing our “Treasure”, average military, hurt and maimed.
(1) Stop the populist movement and (2) get the republican party back in alignment with the multinational “corporate world.”
They have been at it for a very long time. Cancel populists and the concept of we the people electing who we want by voting.
https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Document:The_Coup_of_%2763,_Part_1
Would love to see, “SHRIEKING HALT” in headlines late Tuesday / Wednesday morning. How much came we take???
They hate the deplorables.
They hate America.
Great minds…just saw your comment…see mine up thread a bit…
They want cheap labor- illegals and H1B visa tech workers.
They hate the working class and middle class.
Remember when PDJT actually got companies to bring there manufacturing back to the US.
They hate that. God forbid the hollowed out cities and towns across this country start to thrive again with American manufacturing thanks to the efforts of Donald Trump.
The Trump voters in those placed know he is the only leader to care about them in decades.
The RNC has just openly declared that they are no longer interested in us…they never were (just look at the uniparty people) but they were willing to take our money.
When the demonrats moved too far left, the RNC had no choice…they had ‘to take us in’.
What has changed for them to openly shun the deplorables, now, at this stage?
Enquiring minds want to know….
Why did Politico publish this article? And why now?
I’m guessing the DeSantis handlers are in a panic now. Trump has been making some near-explicit statements about running again and announcing soon.
Leagalinsurection unfortunately has gone pretty much all in on DeSantis
Not the Professor, really never read anything by him one way or another, but the posters and comments
I fight them but I need help
They think this site is area 51
naw, just The Last Refuge
Yes, I noticed the snide, nasty comments about SD and his posts on DeSantis on legal knsurrection.
Yeah, they wander over here once in a while but do not hang around long.
They, like Newsmax, have a RINO flavor.
They were Cruzbots too. Nothing ever changes.
They were also big never trumpers in the 2016 cycle.
Just another ConInc tentacle
Could they be the Democrats who elected Obama for 8 years and then voted for Donald Trump? Maybe they prefer the Uniparty this time around.
The Politico article says it all.
It’s never been a good site. Their analysis is shallow and the posters as well as commenters are stuck in the red team/blue team mindset. They come off as politically naive, including Jacobson.
Need help over at The Gateway Pundit too.
Just got banned for supporting Trump.
I believe he also expects to be named Treasury Secretary in a Desantis administration. RON needs to get out and start raising small grassroot donations if for nothing else to give him leverage over the millionaires. If he doesn’t do this it tells me he is owned.
PDJT has cornered the market on the small grassroot donations; DeSantis will fail.
The stole our election once…will THEY do it again? We’ll know on the 9th
They will try BUT they will ultimately fail.
I am praying every day these senate/ reps/ Governor & others will not be stolen again. I will stay up much later Tuesday night
Some seats will definitely be stolen .
yes. Senate might be closer than we thought, if we even are able to be the steal at all.
Good.
He may still be in the store window, but’s he’s been sold.
Haaah… God Bless you Sundance. Calling it like it is, with humor snd humility!
Love ya man.

SCOTT WAPNER: To the reports that you would consider a cabinet position should [DeSantis] win in ’24, perhaps as Treasury Secretary, is that true?
KEN GRIFFIN: Well, the question was posed to me, if there was a moment where — Let me just rephrase this. If we had an economic crisis and I was asked to be Secretary of Treasury, of course I would offer my services.
Griffin is buying himself a job, where he will have control of the Treasury. Corporations will be favored over the taxpayer, as usual.
To these jackals, 2024 is a battle over first dibs on the carcass of America.
They are already treating it like DeSantis will be the nominee.
Ah, the truth comes out…
This is one of the most damning indictments of Ron DeSantis. Politico makes it clear that DeSantis is the candidate to destroy MAGA and go back to money making by the big boys, the only part of the US that is important. Forget the people or their needs, forget the actual needs of the country, or forget constitutional representation in this Republic.
What they want is for democrats to also vote for DeSantis. My state, Nevada, has a ballot measure making primaries open to all and not just the party members.
Can you see where that is going?
So we go from Obama/Biden to a corrupt billionaire running the country with the RINO/SWAMP Club ?
Watch out for the DeSantis/Pompeo ticket….or the Pompeo/DeSantis ticket.
No CIA clowns on a MAGA ticket.
that’s why I said “beware”
I think it’s going to be DeSantis/Gabbard believe it or not.
Gabbard has been latching onto GOP candidates lately, and being promoted in other ways. It’s all for a purpose, either she’s planning to run in 2024 or she’s planning to be a GOP VP pick.
Good thing Tulsi is “So TOTALLY NOT A DEMOCRAT” as of late.
She’s pretty populist. Maybe that’s how they think they can keep the America first types in the fold. They hate us but will pander for our votes.
I think Tulsi will run as an Independent a la Evan McMuffin. She has fooled a lot of people and will be a better splitter than he was.
I don’t trust her. She is much too desperately seeking a political office or appointment. She did nothing but vote for prog stuff.
I’m guessing DeSantis/Lake….
I pray Lake doesn’t hook up with DeSantis otherwise I’m done with her.
No no no!! DeSantis Gabbard no way !! I want President Donald Trump again & for VP- ??
Barf.
double barf – – the green stomach bile type – – projectile vomiting
Once it spreads that Ron is being supported by people who admit to being anti-MAGA, not just anti-Trump, but ANTI-MAGA, that’ll do it.
There are at least 3 articles published in the past 24 hours about Griffin supporting DeSantis. Obviously a coordinated PR effort by the DeSantis puppeteers, one of whom is apparently Griffin.
DeSantis is officially a puppet, people.
I thought we knew that awhile ago.
What changed?
Sundance is just providing the receipts; and we should be appreciative.
Do you not believe PDJT has known about this; ages ago?
Politico is a lefty rag and a MAGA hater; always looking to spin, spin, spin…
I am distinguishing a GOPe candidate and a puppet. A GOPe candidate does have a little bit of autonomy and participates in the decision-making. A puppet lets his puppeteers make all of the decisions.
Not the GOPe candidates I’ve known for many decades; they’re all puppets one way or another, unless they are completely independent thinkers and/or wealthy, i.e. DJT.
Otherwise, they’re all compromised one way or another.
I just explained to you what my definition is, to clarify my comment.
So PDJT’s timing was perfect after all.
Bannon will be on it next.
That makes little sense, though, since in order to be successful, they’d have to get MAGA voters.
Trumps comment at the rally flushed them out. Good. Looking forward to Trump announcing he’s in it to win it.
And Griffin is well versed in “Pay to Play” Chicago style, don’t kid yourself. The highest bidder won. Did Madigan or Durbin have his fingers in this deal, too?
Enquiring minds….
KEVIN MCCARTHY.
He CANNOT be Speaker.
DEMAND your Reps tell you who they will be voting for for Speaker.
Do not let them hide behind “Secret Ballot.”
They work for us.
No THEY don’t. THEY serve themselves and protect their investments with our coin.
Right after the mid-terms we need to full court press to dethrone both McCarthy and McConnell. Good point about the secret ballot.
I agree with you that we should be very vocally opposing McCarthy even if it doesn’t work. We MUST let our Representatives know we’re angry about the promotion of McCarthy.
“F” these people
American Intelligence Media, who do deep research had a report on DeSantis, showing he was groomed by Pilgrims Society. Close parallel to Obama who came out of nowhere, became a Senator then President. I don’t have link to report, but will try to find. If anyone is interested and find it—would you post it here?
White guilt voted Obama, and WE, according to him, didn’t build our businesses…and if we liked our doctor we could keep them…greatest lie every told, with the exception of Republicans saying if you vote us in we’ll repeal Obamacare. We did and THEY didn’t.
Obama was “selected”.
Created.
Created by the Chicago Marxist Democrat machine- David Axelrod in particular.
Obama’s early opponents were destroyed by strategic use of the media and court record releases.
Don’t forget the Derp State role either.
Couldn’t stand the kenyan & still can’t. Wouldn’t call it white guilt that caused me to change the channel every time I saw his smug criminal face on TV. It was more his racist muslim views.
Maybe gay too
Saul Alinsky’s best student, next to Hillary Clinton.

rry SoetoroSenator Obama.RinoRon the decepticon !
thank you for exposing and taking the flack Sundance !
watch your 6
you are exposing and pulling the pants down on many people’s so called hero
and they are seeing the lack of nads RinoRon owns !
and its pissing people off
you can see the trail of tears from Trump’s nickname
I called out the DeSantis con game long ago and took
some flack on here myself but one thing I knew was what I was saying was fact
and if it upset someone to take a personal shot at me, I was over target.
I have read some criticism of Sundance from the DeSantis knob
polishers and I’m sure they will be screaming louder after seeing this.
the thing is they scream louder at the truth
I agree with TRUMP and his common sense approach.
“Trump said , “You’re going to re-elect the wonderful Marco Rubio to the United States senate and you’re going to re-elect Ron DeSantis as your governor.”
The only people who disagree with Trump are Democrats and people who hate both parties and
want to create a third party.
They didn’t get their 3rd party so they are spreading their depression to others.
I feel good and positive and things will get better with less Democrats..
So it Begins.
I read that in a little tiny ankle biter voice…

Look at this tweet from Matt Walsh in May of this year:
He’s a DeSantis operative.
He has been for a very long time.
He was trying to get republicans to support McMullin instead of PDJT in October 2016. I saw it on Sundance’s twitter.
Matt Walsh has his hands full with the Transgenderism-children-mutilation issue. One would think he would be busy with his expose’ and not get involved with the destruction of MAGA and cheap shots at our Former POTUS.
One day this same Matt Walsh will want President Trump’s help with his efforts. Perhaps he should tread lightly and not be so presumptuous.
Starting to realized that the purchase of twitterati is quite a bit larger than first glance. Easiest gig in the world to buy these people. Who doesn’t like the way DeSantis has governed in the last couple of years? Nobody is selling out, they are celebrating a job well done. They just don’t know where this is leading, and their paycheck depends on them not knowing.
He was a Never Trumper in 16.
This is the definition of mass psychosis- if they parade DeSantis around enough times and bash Trump like the Democrat/Rino does, they think people will start to believe their BS and join the masses of Uniparty psychotics.
Walsh is such a phony. And is part of the Daily wire grift. Shapiro has always been NeverTrump and frankly a closet lefty like NRO writers.
Only 1/3 of our colonists wanted to fight for freedom. The more things change the more they remain the same.
In other words F**** Americans!
I don’t claim to have a mind like a steel trap, but I don’t remember seeing a lot of these names that are commenting on these desanctimonious posts.
Yes. Team RINO-RON has their paid shills out in force.
He has a lot, which tells me they are serious about using DeSantis to split the MAGA base. What’s funny is I think they want to use him to take out Trump and then they’ll slide in a Haley or Pompeo to be the actual candidate.
Maybe they got kicked off Twitter
TM, I’m thinking the same as I read these posts.
What is Marco gonna do?
Marco is gonna do what he needs to do to be successful and help PDJT, until such time as he decides he doesn’t want to be a Senator anymore. (JMAO)
Get re-elected and screw us AGAIN just like he always does.
Globohomo and Satan=Same
The perversions the Dems push and Repubs don’t stop and frankly take part in are just distraction.
This works because it’s disgusting just like themselves. They hate Americans, families, and humanity.
They should repent and stop doing what they’re doing, before it’s too late…
The US Chamber of Greed isn’t down let alone out. What they are however is unusually candid about their ownership of CONgress, state legislatures & guvnah’s mansions.
In Illinois, Griffin backed Richard Erwin, a phony populist and anti-Trumper, in the Republican primary for governor. Both Democrat Governoor Pritzker AND Trump backed Darren Bailey.
Trump backed Bailey because he’s a legit conservative. Pritzker backed Bailey because he thought Bailey would be easier to beat than the phony Erwin, who is Black. Then before the primary was even held, when it became obvious Erwin would lose, Griffin high-tailed it to Florida. Florida?
Uh oh. Now Bailey is giving Pritzker a run for his money, and Griffin has moved on to backing another not-Trump horse against Trump.
This guy is an investment guru? He sure can’t pick political candidates. Perhaps he should stick to the OTHER rigged game, crony capitalism.
(deleted, misplaced)
Yes…he is an investment guru…frankly I wish i had the opportunity to invest with him…I would be sitting on a beach earning 20%…
He supported the R governor in Illinois…Rauner who ran up against a brick wall of D’s in Springfield and got nothing done.
He’s an R guy…and he has lots of horsepower…
But he backed Richard Irvin who was on record supporting BLM. That might play well around the Chicago area but not anywhere else in Illinois, and it was the biggest reason why I did not vote for Irvin in the primary. As soon as Irvin lost the primary to Trump-endorsed Darren Bailey, Griffin angrily declared that he was quitting Illinois. He couldn’t make his bought candidate win here, so apparently he’s going to try in Florida.
Yes, Griffin is an R guy, but that isn’t a good thing if the candidates he backs are puppets.
Ssshhhhh – don’t tell anyone, but Rauner was NOT a Republican. Yeah, he ran as Republican. But the inside story is that he was a democrat who couldn’t get the democrat machine to back him for governor so in a pique he ran as a republican and won.
No he isn’t. The bulk of his contributions go to left-wing causes. He stated that he wants to “diversify the Republican party.” Basically neuter the populism aspect of it because its hurting relations with corporate America.
Rauner was a terrible governor for Illinois. He may have been a Republican, but his only real accomplishment was making Illinois the first state with taxpayer subsidized abortion.
The reason why Rauner was so ineffective in his budget negotiations with former Illinois House speaker Mike Madigan and the other Illinois Democrats is because he didn’t have a political base. If Rauner had a large base of grassroots supporters, he could have used them as much needed political capital in his negotiations.
Whenever Rauner would leave metro Chicago, he would adopt what I called his “rodeo clown” persona. He would wear a baseball cap, Carhart jacket, plaid button down shirt, Wrangler jeans, and work boots in a pathetic attempt to appear to be working class.
Rauner’s rodeo clown persona involved obnoxiously dropping his g’s, which is not how most people in any region of “downstate” Illinois talk. It’s as if Rauner was impersonating some sort of bizarre Chicago stereotype of a downstate Illinoisian.
Despite being a multi-millionaire, Rauner kept a beat up, old minivan that he would use as a political prop when he wanted to look especially working class.
Rauner was as fake as a politician as his rodeo clown persona was fake.
The good, non union people of iL, are hurting, big time. When we all leave, who’s gonna pay the massive pension costs?
Irvin sounded good in the beginning and Baily, not so good–until it was outed that the negative advertising came out of Pritzker’s cabal.
I agree with the gist of your comment, but I actually always thought that Bailey sounded good as a candidate, but then again, I live in Southern Illinois, so I was already familiar with Bailey’s career as a state representative and state senator before he became a gubernatorial candidate.
Baily fought extremely hard against Pritzker’s covid mandates and has been consistently conservative across the board in his political stances.
Bailey is part of the Conservative Caucus in the Illinois General Assembly which is the only subset of Republicans in the General Assembly that is consistently conservative.
I can understand one being concerned if one wasn’t previously familiar with Bailey before his gubernatorial campaign and all they saw was an unknown farmer with a Southern Illinois drawl who could easily be caricaturized by both the RINO and Democrat establishments as a backwater redneck.
This fake news guy is actually saying if you elect Republicans they will kill your kids.
Steve Cortes said the other day on Warroom that Beschloss who he has run into in green rooms etc is a self-important sissy.
Clown…go back to writing books no one will read…
So why should we ever vote for DeSantis for POTUS? It’s not like he’d be looking out for We The People.
DJT did all he could but yeah… the DC establishment RNC squandered to opportunity to honor their platform for their voters.
“improve the diversity of the GOP and blunt the vein of populism that has complicated the party’s relationship with the corporate world — two things he’s consulted with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy about.”
I guess Kenny doesn’t read the polling of what people are concerned about. Inflation, energy prices, crime, illegal aliens flooding the country, tyrannical leftists, drugs flooding the country, what is going on in schools.
Nope. His priority is doing whatever is necessary to increase his own wealth in any manner possible.
…and McCarthy is happy to take his calls. As is DeSantis apparently.
These articles coming out before the elections and his run for Gov, coincidence I think not. He needs to be my Gov for 4 more years he can run in 2028/ Also Ken Girrfin and Citadel where have I heard his name before? Oh yea the Robinhood debacle with the Gamestop people who screwed up the short stock. Griffin told the dude at Robinhood to shut it down. And of course, he complied, Dave Portnoy was all over this story at the time.
Just one question: other than Trump, who else can run a presidential campaign with his own wealth and the small donations of millions of enthusiastic followers because he champions their interests and not his?
You seem to be implying that the only alternative to Trump is a GOPe-funded puppet. 🙂
Heck, there’s no one willing to even call out the enemy let alone take it head on.
” Donald Trump has unleashed an unprecedented deluge of small-dollar donations for the GOP, one that Republican Party elders have dreamed about finding for much of the past decade as they’ve watched a succession of Democrats — Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders and, to a lesser extent, Hillary Clinton — develop formidable fundraising operations $5, $10 and $20 at a time.”- Politico 2016
It wasn’t his billions. “Small dollar donations” He was the man who couldn’t be bought by corporations.
Kari Lake comes to mind. A lot can happen between now and 2028.

oh oh take the money and run
~Steve Miller,
Reading what Richard Baris was told by donors and politicians in the earlier article is an eye opening truth.
Did DeSantis sign contracts from these Donors who expect favors ?
They don’t put in writing, but the politicians all do it. They are also paid off after they leave office for favors done with multi-million dollar book deals, stock options, corporate board appointments, huge speaking fees.
The grift is real and other than Trump they’ve all bee corrupt for decades. At least presidents and senators.
Conservative talk show hosts who are promoting DeSantis:
Matt Walsh
Dave Rubin
Charlie Kirk
Take anything these guys say as DeSantis campaign propaganda.
In other words, the usual suspects. LOL.
Glenn Beck
Laura Ingraham as well.
One of the biggest phonies and grifters in media. She’s always been that way.
I want to note that Dave Rubin and Charlie Kirk both moved to Florida. Did they do that to team up with DeSantis?
Charlie Kirk has been touting DeSantis for at least 4 months on his radio show. Started catching the drift when listening in my car around August . I don’t listen to any talk radio anymore.
I can’t believe these are the top talk show guys. I don’t listen anymore.
God broke the mold when he made Rush. Now it’s a bunch of beta males across the board.
Rubin isn’t conservative. Kirk always goes to the highest bidder. And Walsh is a Shapiro/Daily wire hack and they are certified NeverTrump and card-carrying members of con inc.
Outside of President Trump someone name another MAGA billionaire spending money like Ken Griffin pushing populism by consulting with any GOPe leader rather than trying to blunt it? Why is President Trump the only one on our side?
Because, PDJT is our Murder Weapon.
Because he loves this country more than he loves money.
if you follow PDJT’s early years; you will read and hear him say “It’s not about the money. It’s about the winning.”
This!!
According to Forbes, as of this year, there are 735 American billionaires. President Trump appears to be the only one of the 735 who is on our side, who puts America first. 1 in 735. We’re blessed to have him.
Don’t forget mike lindell
The GOP never thought they’d be in the majority.
She, was supposed to WIN!!
the election and voter fraud mechanisms were all in place….her win was a SURE thing….until it wasn’t
Unfortunately arrogance is a strong motivator and it explains why there are no lasting solutions in politics. Ron has done a great job leading Florida and could concentrate there for the next four years. At that point he would be the logical choice to follow Trump and run in 2028.
Big money with its glitter becomes a greater motivator then loyalty to what is best for America, if you allow arrogance to rule. While all of this goes on, the movement motivating the current elections is splintered and the one world globalists resume their dismemberment of the U. S..
Can only hope and pray that love for country is able to win out and he sticks on the Florida team and patiently waits his turn.
no turning back now
I fear money talks and RD is gone. Team Trump has a very deep bench for ‘28. DeSantis could not pass on Griffin’s dough. Too bad.
Kari Lake would be good for 2028. She doesn’t seem to be a globalist, yet.
this should make it clear…..
however, I fear it won’t for some posters who can’t see the forest through the trees
President Trump is the only fighter and hero for the ordinary people. The 81 million MAGA voters will not drop Trump for DeSanctimonious.
The “pie is only so big” syndrome. If the people (populism) do well then the elites can’t. If America is great, then others can’t be. All falsehoods.
SO, kenny didn’t come for a cup O tea!
Desantis is Jeb 2.0. It’s sad.
Without the family money. A little more than a year ago he still owed $22k for student loans. https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/state/2021/06/21/florida-gov-desantis-posts-increase-net-worth/7773521002/
It’s embarrassing to owe money in your 40s when you’ve been a Congressman and a governor.
He wouldn’t owe so much if he didn’t go to Ivy league schools to set up his political career. Nothing wrong with going to University of Florida unless you want to social climb your way to wealth and political power.
One of the most corrupt people on Wall St. His hedge fund has “shorted” an untold number of firms into bankruptcy.
Citadel Investment Boss Ken Griffin Previously Gave DeSantis $10 Million,
Today Says He Would Accept Position as Treasury Secretary – The Last Refuge
Your “headline” is so deceptive as to be tantamount to a lie. Ken Griffin has NOT been offered any cabinet positions, period.
Griffin recently relocated from Illinois ( I don’t blame him), and backed Aurora IL Mayor Richard Irvin in a losing bid to become the GOP candidate for Governor in Illinois. Griffin was probably too scared to take on JB Pritzker himself.
It’s telling he talked with Politico.
Griffin could buy Pritzker…he moved to Florida to get out of Chicago crime and stated in the WSJ that he was moving Citadel because he couldn’t recruit talent and his employees did not feel safe. He’s done with Illinois.
He backed Rauner who won and ran into the D brick wall in Springfield.
Illinois is down the drain and KG can make hay in Fl….
He claimed he left Illinois because of crime but it’s obvious he left because he couldn’t make his puppet candidate win the GOP primary let alone the general election even after dumping a whopping $50 MILLION into the candidate’s campaign. $50 MILLION! So now he has his sights set on DeSantis …
Ol JB has a nice little equestrian horse farm in or near Wellington…the tentacles spread far and wide.
Ol JB and or family, in the height of ‘lockdowns’ and ‘no travel’…either went with or sent his family to their FL digs…during the plandemic.
Initially, I was all in on Irwin…til I found out about his support network. He, like some others I could mention out of IL, was ‘too good to be true’.
I’ve written a few comments about “unforced errors” recently. Judging by how the anti-Trump faction has latched on to the DeSanctimonious comment and won’t let it go, and no amount of reason or explanation will cure it, I’m thinking Trump should simply not feed these trolls. Don’t give them any material to work with and it will deprive them of the ability to use it for weeks to whip up more anti-Trump sentiment.
We need to win in 2024, and I personally would rather not go through the mess we went through in 2016 with all of the anti-Trumpers then, even going so far as to threaten that electors would refuse to cast their votes for Trump at the convention thus depriving Trump of the nomination. Remember that mess? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faithless_electors_in_the_2016_United_States_presidential_election
Well, I fear you are going to be disappointed.
No one tells PDJT how to handle the enemy.
I fear we’re going to lose the 2024 election.
You got a crystal ball?
Without cheating, Trump wins easily.
He can run on a return to peace and prosperity that we had when he was President and win republicans and independents.
It matters not who the republican is that gets elected for president in 2024. The Democrat machine will attack the republican president relentlessly 24/7 as they did to Trump. There will be no positive news with a republican president. Whomever it is will be run out of town. That’s the way it is now, the country is divided like I have never seen.
Don’t get me wrong, I freakin love Trump.
“(1) Stop the populist movement and (2) get the republican party back in alignment with the multinational “corporate world.””
Be the Rich Man’s Party again?
That sounds like a real winner.
Business has long and short term business plans…
you can rest assured that this is part and parcel, along with the FL move, part of the ‘executive’ business plan for Griffin’s organization. “Business is in business, to make money” any way they can.
They, the RNC, are thinking “they” don’t need “We the People” anymore. Griffen is the tool to get things moving and RDS is the key, so they think….as long as his popularity is maintained.
Another thought to remember….is that many in big business are either Machiavellian or a part of the Dark Triad—they have no sense of empathy for fellow humans.
Keeping that in mind will help many understand just what is at stake here…
Here it is; RESEARCH ON RON DESANTIS!!! https://aim4truth.org/2022/06/17/cat-report-724/. AND THIS ONE:
If I recall, FDR placated his oligarchical donors and went against them for the welfare of the Country. I can only hope we have another with the same spirit. Not holding my breath though.
