Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former Vice President Mike Pence will be skipping CPAC 2023 this year as President Donald Trump delivers the keynote speech.
DeSantis and Pence will avoid the uncomfortable results of the grassroots straw poll outcome, which – given the nature of their political interests – could potentially be embarrassing for the people who are organizing their ‘stop Trump’ campaign.
(Jax4) – CPAC, which is billed as the largest and most influential gathering of conservatives in the world, begins Wednesday.
Governor Ron DeSantis, who spoke at the event last year has other plans, and former vice president Mike Pence has turned down an invitation. (more)
After spending the weekend with billionaire donors and republicans molded purchased by the Sea Island (Big Club) influence, DeSantis will be traveling the country promoting his Rupert Murdoch funded book with stops in Texas and California. The governor is also expected in Iowa, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Georgia, according to Jacksonville News4.
The Florida governor will finish the week back in his home state as The Club for Growth is hosting DeSantis and a half-dozen presidential prospects at a closed-door retreat next weekend with GOPe top donors {Link}. Donald Trump is not invited. The meeting, organized by the multinational corporate interests of CfG, is about how to coordinate multiple candidate efforts to defeat Trump.
Additionally, details are surfacing of additional attendees at last weekend’s ritzy “influencers” event at the Four Seasons Resort in Palm Beach, hosted by DeSantis handler Christina Pushaw. According to news reports in addition to the previously recruited social media group, Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter and Chaya Raichik (Libs of TikTok) were in attendance doing panel discussions. {link}
DeSantis can be expected to be ANYWHERE BUT HOME IN FLORIDA – Taking Care of his BUSINESS.
The DeSantis establishment ploy appears to be dying a slow death. In large part to your sunlight on him and those around him and the objective behind his ascendancy. We must figure out a path forward whereby the GOP cannot keep holding us back. The dangers of the establishment GOP uniting with the Democrats and press to once again destroy (us) MAGA cannot be overstated. We must stop this abusive relationship, as you correctly call it. They’ve always got a gun to our head.
Hey Ronnie D,
That straw poll at the end of CPAC would be a big downer for you.
Yep, and the possible boos, complaints of running against PDJT.
Well said
Want to be sure you can vote in your 2024 state Republican primary? Be sure you are a registered Republican voter.
Especially if you live in an open primary state.
Each states GOP can change their primary rules as they see fit, and in 2024, as Sundance has been pointing out, many may be very motivated to make those changes in order to Thwart Trump in the primaries so only Establishment candidates make it to the general election.
This is an example of what AT&T-DirectTV have brought to us with cutting Newsmax & OAN off the television.
There are NO newscasts, only DemoNazi advertisements.
WE ARE MUSHROOMS!
They keep us in the dark & feed us BS all day!
“We are mushrooms”.
” We” = thee?
“We” =/= me
Personally, Ive never seen more or understood what I’m seeing more than I am right now.
“They keep us in the dark”
Thank God for night vision googles that make it possible to see and navigate in the dark.
Verizon Fios has dropped OAN too. Only way to get it now is to pay a monthly fee for steaming.
Meant as MAGA teasing:
“Ronna will be working overtime against you”.
Sounds super duper scary. I’m so terrified that I’m literally shaking.
Hopefully every MAGA “you” is as super duper scared of this bogeyman named Ronna as I am. 😘
Literally!
We have to make ALL identified RINOs know they are unwelcome! Let’s take a page out of Maxine Waters’s playbook. And given the fact that two swampies are skipping CPAC, they must already know they are not welcome and will not risk the public display of disapproval. They will instead go where the cheers and applause are scripted.
So far, despite a lot of what’s said, I’m leaning a bit towards RdS.
IF he associates with Pence then that’s it. By that I mean an active part in his campaign not just an endorsement or being in favor of stuff he says.
People better look hard at what Trump is doing and what he’s saying. He’s gotten off the rails and he needs to get back on or he’s going to be sunk. It’s more than just mean tweets it’s that he’s attacking someone who seems to be doing well and in accord with what people want and that doesn’t sit well with a lot of us.
Yeah there’s some big warning signs with RdS. Which is why I’m not doing a full on all for him no matter what kind of thing.
Ronna is a mistake and Trump endorsed her. Other endorsements of Trumps have turned out to be detrimental and it’s not looking good his refusal to back track even a tiny bit about the Vaxx. He will have to if he wants some peoples votes because that’s the biggie for the 2020 election to a lot of people.
Trump has not gotten off the rails! Where is the BLOCK TROLL button on this site?
Trump did mot endorse ronna!
Trump ordered his closest staff to CA specifically to whip votes for Ronna and he endorsed Ronna stooges for both cochair and treasurer, but thank God those 2 lost. Trump DID go all out for Ronna, I saw it and heard it there myself. That combined with his pimping for McCarthy has gotten on my last nerve, though at this point I’m still TeamTrump.
Trump ordered “his closest staff to CA to whip votes for Ronna”.
Source: a Trump haters tweet?
Do some people still imagine that only one wing of the UniParty bird of prey intentionally lies to them?
Btw, if true, then I’m glad Ronna won.
Whether true or not, I’m grateful for the reminder to pray for her and to pray for the still psywar naive whose naivete puts themselves and everyone else in grave danger.
Well…this just tells me that you have no understanding of what was happening with the Speaker negotiations. That WAS a win for MAGA. And if you do not see that, then you don’t understand what’s happening…or even MAGA for that matter! There is nobody else but TRUMP…Period! All one needs to do is go look at the things Trump has said is coming in his next administration…nobody else…including DeSantis has said or spoken this way! The Patriots of America are with DJT! And that’s why Pence and Desantis will not be going to CPAK. This IS the base and they support TRUMP! They would be fools to show up at this…and this is the base they need? Or is it the corporate, elite, establishment base? Then telegraph to us by their actions! Ronna is a rat, just like her uncle and most of the establishment in DC. DJT has always kept his enemies close…the fact that he backed Ronna doesn’t mean be is off the rails…it just shows how he still has to work within their system to achieve MAGA! Wake up!
He didn’t support her, He said, point blank that he was staying out of it, and that he liked both of the women and he is friends with Lendell and He was ok with who ever won, but he did not do or say anything that would put him in the middle so stop all the talking points of the left and stop accusing him of things he didn’t do
People like you always have purity tests , that defy logic. Trump is a human being, and is NOT perfect. He has had people who he trusted , stab him in the back. His SIL Kushner may be one of those traitors. Now stuff it!
A general response not meant for anyone in particular:
“Stab him in the back”
Fortunately, by now its obvious that Trumps back is impervious to “Et tu” back stabbers…or chest stabbers.
Unfortunately, some “helicopter mom” armchairs STILL fret and rEEEEeeee over stabs Trump clearly not only survives but stabs he turns into hilarious taunts.
Personally rather than fret, I now choose to pray and frame Trump “back stabbers” as Wile E Coyotes forever trying to get Roadrunner Trump.
Meep. Maga. Meep.
Yes it would seem so…or we have the most derilick judicial system and DOJ ever…which we do have, but they have been trying to get Trump for years now. But to no avail! And they…like the Wiley Coyote, they never learn their lesson!
Agreed! The swamp is a lot deeper than even he thought, and most of us never saw to this depth until his Presidency.
I know I didn’t. I actually thought the republicans would be thrilled he won. Surprise, surprise.
I love President Trump’s honest and spirited tweets. They are bullseye tweets and not mean at all. Anyone who might take offense deserves it.
“Ronna is a mistake and Trump endorsed her”.
Perhaps figure out who told you this easily debunked lie and then figure out why you believed their lie rather than verifying what they said for yourself?
Fwiw, John Cardillo, a Ron hyping, Don hating, influencer for hire, was the first person to tweet out this lie. Other influencers in the CON Inc network then spread and amplified his lie to their, aptly named, followers.
What other hype Ron and hate Don lies have been told. And believed. And spread. By their still trusting followers?
Surviving this war requires psywar savvy and Whole Armour of God protected and nurtured spiritual discernment.
Prayers and best wishes, MAGA warriors.
When did Trump endorse McDaniels? He said he liked all of them.
The Bottom line is Trump isn’t meeting with billionares at Sea Island trying to negotiate the price which will be paid for his presidency. This system was originally designed by and for honorable people who were citizen officials who couldn’t wait to earn their right to stand at their post and then go home to enjoy their simple freedoms. Trump has put his money where his mouth is and can get the opposition to cover him 24/7 for free. He is assaulted by law fare 24/7 and gets back up every morning to take on the next comer. There is only one Trump. And this is our last chance for him to fight for us.
Call me shocked! Is that Rep. Thomas Massie on the top left? I never pictured or believed him to be a RINO.
It’s sad. He’s joined the Bush family.😒
Per the ‘link’, also in attendance were: ‘He (DeSantis) spent the weekend huddled behind closed doors at a south Florida luxury hotel for a “Freedom Blueprint” retreat with more than 100 donors, elected officials and conservative influencers. The attendees included former Trump chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton and Texas-based donor Roy Bailey, a former member of Trump’s national finance committee.
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt and Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee were also in attendance, along with Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, Utah Sen. Mike Lee, Texas Rep. Chip Roy and Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie.’
This isn’t the 1st time I’ve questioned where Cotton or Laura stood, but surprised about Ron Johnson (though he has done much work on exposing the jab so that may explain).
Maybe he’s Trump’s spy. But frankly, if we don’t get McConnell out of power, we’re going to see 2020 & 2022 again, only this time we may be in WWIII.
That old coot will never leave voluntarily. Just like so many other fossils they have to be blasted out. Figuratively speaking, of course.
If DeSantis’ wanted to pull a real coup, at the last minute he would throw his support behind Trump, than all that outside $ would have been spent on Trump, without Trump having to acknowledge it.
I am not liking DeSantis so much these days as far as his Presidental bid goes. He is playing cat and mouse and he is going to split the party by doing that. He is a exc Govenor but as a president he has no foreign experience at all, which we really need right now. President Trump is the only one who has that and also he has foreign leaders respecting him. WE NEED TO REALLY THINK ABOUT THAT, NOT HIS TWEETS, which I love by the way. These do gooders who are so offended by them make me laugh. Two faced jerks all of them.
I don’t know why I think this is relevant:
I don’t think it is
The treachery among these people is truly breath taking.
Ron = Jeb!
Into the dust bin Ron. You chose poorly. The truth is indomitable and it shall prevail.
someone seriously needs to reconstitute the old limp JEB! with a Limp RON!
If only i had photoshop i’d do it because sometimes all you need is one image that truly speaks 1000 words in many languages .
Kind of surprised at Ron Johnson and Mike Lee. They both asked for endorsement from Trump in their current senate election and now they are turning back. Ron is doing all things in Florida, showing his toughness because he wants to be President. If he is ever elected, he is not going to be different than Bush. Trump is honest and really loves this country. He does not have to prove it like DeSantis, because he has shown us how tough he was and he kept his promises. I am all for Trump. Pence or Desantis avoiding CPAC shows that they don’t want to face Trump or his supporters.
Personally, rather than jumping to conclusions about who is who, I prefer to take note and file what’s noticed under “interesting”.
In real life, even sneks can be very useful, especially when a person knows and doesn’t forget that they’re dealing with a snek.
Fortunately, Trump realized decades ago that the world is full of sneks.
Rather than reacting with phobic rEEEEeees, instead he Trump became a world class snek charmer, snek handler and human mongoose while developing an immunity to snek bites.
Consequently, Trump doesn’t need to react to sneks like many good hearted armchairs do.
In fact, he can now actually enjoy some of the sneks that trigger fret posts from armchairs; sneks like sly Lindsey and Lee.
It’s still true:
YOU’RE KNOWN BY THE COMPANY YOU KEEP.
Ever time I see Pence’s face, I see those still suffering in prisons for speaking out on J6.
No justice for them. No justice for anyone who supports the Constitution.
Evil doers finally getting successfully prosecuted and punished is often referred to as getting their “just desserts”.
When are desserts served?
Desserts, including ” just desserts” are served last.
Remember when the Nuremberg Trials began and what had to happen before they began?
Perhaps frame DC as our World War’s Berlin.
Doing so can improve pacing, increase motivation and protect against despair triggering psyops; psyops that are designed to get their prey to dessert so “just desserts” are never served.
This is the US Tienanmen square.
Just like Hillary skipped campaigning in WI, Mi and PA They assured her it was in the bag.
They won’t be missed.
Keep up the good work
Do not underestimate the Trump frustration factor (e.g. Operation Warp speed; mean tweets) nor the RDS infatuation factor (e.g. Facing down Disney). Start organizing and educating in your area now.
I’m a Great Reset savvy pure blood in a total lockdown state.
Personally I’m profoundly grateful that President Trump had the genius and courage to pull off Operation Warp Speed.
OWS ended the NWOs justication for lock downs in 10 MONTHs. The NWO needed those lockdowns to last 10 YEARs.
Viewing this video clip gave me insight into PDJTs decision. Hopefully others will also have an “OMG, Trump was right. Again” reaction.
You Tube. Hunt for Red October. Scene. Combat tactics, Mr Ryan.
Inescapable torpedoes == Inescapable NWO vaccines.
Only solution == accelerate (at Warp Speed) toward the torpedoes so they hit before they’re fully operational.
cowards
The more people choose to become reality deniers, the merrier……
the NWO psychopaths and demons will be.
Please consider who’s being pleased by each choice made especially when that choice is spread as a good choice for others to make too.
User name “desertson”.
Perhaps a sly play on a word meaning to dessert?
I think we are on a Quixotic path to our own humiliation again. But I can’t find any alternative that will result in anything else so, what the hell, lets do it.
You want to teach Rinos and Fox a lesson by making America fail. My President, Donald J. Trump is the only one that can lead us out of third world war. He is respected by all foreign leaders, he knows how to handle them, proved that when he was president. Just because you don’t like his tweets or whatever you have a blind eye to his accomplishment.
DeSantis would be in the kiddie pool at CPAC, Pence would be in the Traitor’s Moat. Not too difficult of a decision for them to make by not attending.
Actually I think he’d be dumb enough to jump in the deep end without his floaties
I am pretty sure no one will miss them, especially the greatest traitor in American History….MIKE PENCE. Ron DeSantis is NOT the White Knight everyone thinks he is, and he is not the savior of this Nation. That title alone goes to Donald John Trump who did it once before and will do it again if he is given the chance to do so. It is sickening to see how many people, politicians, media, Hollywood, sports stars, hate America and do not want it to be great and powerful again. They want to destroy the Country that has given each of them the multiple opportunities to achieve their personal goals, and dreams. How ungrateful and disrespectful is that? It makes me hate them even more.
DeSatanis skipping CPAC says many things.
One thing that comes to mind is he’s a coward.
He is not ready for “prime time.”
From the looks of things DeSantis is running around with a very smug look on his stupid looking face because he has
all of the Governors behind him on what ever he wants to do and he has all of the big donors that have moved from PT to him and now they are shutting him away from anything having to do with the GOP and I dont know how legal that all is but guess these scum bags can do what they want, I just want for the people who have backed PT to put their thinking caps on and try to make sure that they are with him or not and then make a commitment to supporting him to the hilt because he is going to need all the help he can get.
This morning on Newsmax it says that Murdock testified that one of his people said they really did think that Biden stole the election, but we all know that nothing will be done about it.. How sad.
anyway I will not vote for smug Desantis even if they push him to get the nomination, He is not worth my time or effort
to go out of my way to do anything for him, He is showing signs of being a little dictator .
everyone is giving him a lot of time on their shows and even newsmax has glowing words for him and what he is doing but not me, I think he is disgusting.
Once you see it (the connections) not only is it impossible to unsee it, but everything following confirms it, as well.
I stopped watching Fox News 5 years ago. I saw the writing on the wall. The only one worth watching is Tucker.
If Don doesn’t address the Warp Speed catastophy, Ron will win.
We are at least 80,000,000 MAGA voters who just cannot understand why he won’t…
Mike Pence doesn’t belong at C-PAC. He belongs with Mitch Bitch and his coven of witches and ghouls, in the way back, so the cameras don’t see him.
DeSantis does! If you can’t make it to C-PAC, something is wrong with you!
I just can’t figure him out. DeSantis doesn’t need to back stab Trump, insult C-PAC, take money from RINO Inc. or America Last Lobby.
ALL He he to do was toe the MAGA line until 2028 and keep his Wife out of FULL LENGTH BALL GOWNS, until the Ball!
(still ridiculous)
Can someone explain this to me?
Sounds like UniParty is gearing up for a DeSantis-Pence ticket. But where’s Nikki gonna go?
It is far too late for the GOP to correct the mistakes it has made by not backing Trump from the very beginning when he won in 2016. By trying to maintain their position they are about to destroy the GOP. The Walk Away campaign, the Tea Party, and the Blexit all had an impact in the Trump win. He gained more votes in the re-election than any president in history. The 2020 election was a fraud as was the ‘pandemic’ any sentient person is aware of that, however it appears that the GOP leadership is incapable of getting the elevator to the top. For Pence and Desantis to yield the field by not attending CPAC is an indication that the party is not interested in advancing America. Pence is a political nonentity with the American public, his absence will not be missed. Desantis owes more to Trump than any other Governor in America and will pay dearly for his “Et Tu, Brutus!” moment. The effort expended by the Democrats to try and remove Trump from the 2024 election is a continuation of the 2020 coup and the American public are quite aware of this. Mc Connel, Graham and the rest of the RINOs are literally handing the knife to the Democrats to cut the jugular of the American Republic.
This whole process is an absolute DREAM for Our President. Nothing like spotlighting who he can’t count on with the possible exception of anyone who is roll playing with him…
75 million certifiably verified real human citizens voted for Trump.
Send him a post card. Let him know you care and where you’re from.
I did.
If we locked the two of them in a room with a CNN reporter, they would be guaranteed an audience as big as they would get at CPAC. Or am I wrong?
The elitist, bought and paid for republicans have learned nothing.
Hate the American people almost as much as the demoncrats……..
They are a disgrace.
Pence failed this country by not doing his job and undermining President Trump. President………………really? What t joke.
The rest of the bought and paid for, will be rewarded…………………just not the way they imagine.
I think DeSantis boxed himself in. I bet he sees the writing on the wall and would rather remain governor of Fla without any fuss and wait til 2028. But now he’s got so many investors, handlers, advisors, publicists, that he can’t back out. If he did, no matter how he spins it, he would lose cred and all that support would wither. Big backlash. If he stays in and loses, same result. By 2028 if not before would be looked at as damaged. He has no where to else to go. Too bad.
Pay close attention to the attendees for t his private Ronnie-rubbing event. If any politician in your state is there, get on his now. Attn, TN, Bill Lee is there.
