The question of Ron DeSantis entering the race for the 2024 GOP nomination is an issue of ‘when’ not ‘if’. Anyone who is still holding the opinion that nothing is certain until everything is certain are simply being obtuse in the extreme.
Before getting to the current status of the Florida governor appearing in Iowa, the context for the appearance needs some background.
With former Cruz Crew leader Ken Cuccinelli coordinating the latest Political Action Committee (PAC) “Never Back Down”, the motives clarify when you consider the need to transfer the excess DeSantis 2022 campaign money into a federal race. The best mechanism to accomplish the transfer legally is through a PAC that is prepositioned to defer initial campaign expenses and launch the effort.
The campaign doesn’t need to coordinate closely with the PAC, because the larger goals are unified. This is where Cuccinelli’s disposition as a political grifter makes him the perfectly corrupt insider vessel to use the opportunity. Transferring approximately $100 million from the governor state account into the PAC is a lucrative incentive for a character like Cuccinelli.
The second PAC, a SuperPAC called “Ready for Ron,” has been positioned as a data mining operation, registering names, phone numbers, etc. in a preposition status for the 2024 launch. A nonprofit called “And to the Republic,” run by Republican operative Tori Sachs, has been picking up the expenses for DeSantis’ cross country tour under the auspices of a Rupert Murdoch funded book launch (Harper Collins). All of this activity is being managed by the same team that launched after the 5 days in the bunker in early August 2022.
At this point, anyone claiming the 2024 Ron DeSantis campaign has not been a long time carefully planned operation, really needs to be laughed out of the conversation.
The footprints of the groundwork for this campaign are visible going back to the late fall of 2021. Yes, this means the 2022 reelection campaign was a complete fraud, and Ron DeSantis never intended to fulfill a four year term as Florida governor.
The fraud behind him, not necessarily DeSantis himself, has been my biggest issue with his political leadership since the summer of last year.
By my back of the envelope math, Desantis Inc. has secure financing of around $500 million currently. Based on the known assembly of constructs that have been positioned in the past four to six months, I would say there’s easily another $500 million that will be directly inbound to the campaign within the first week of the official launch itself – likely to happen in May.
This is the time frame, immediately after the legislative session, when Florida will be abandoned by the DeSantis management team and Ron DeSantis himself.
$500 million in current secured financing, and $500 million in immediate launch financing, explains the intoxicating allure of the grift currently being used to entice the “influencer” crowd. Lots of conservatives will make money from this DeSantis national launch.
Use this scale of financial context to explain how The Daily Wire business model can afford to offer podcasters $50 to $100 million for four year contracts. A thousand million on the table buys a lot of influencers – who feed like a frenzied swarm as fed by the Cuccinelli types.
Last year, based on the visible assembly, I saw DeSantis entry into the 2024 contest as the last entrant. Meaning all other enlisted GOPe foot soldiers would precede a DeSantis entry. This looks to still be the plan; however, fewer political operatives are now projected to be in the DeSantis strategy. Everyone in the race, sans Trump, is only in the race to advance Ron DeSantis. This is just how the professional GOPe Sea Island assembly and professional donor class roll.
In Republican politics everything is an illusion. Everything is preordained and the entirety of their effort is about creating the illusion of choice or outcome. Remember, Republicans care about money; Democrats care about ideology. Republicans use power to get money; Democrats use money to get power. This is why the ideology of the Democrats continues forward; they have no ideological opposition. As long as Republicans are getting paid, “we good” is the mantra.
The billionaire class paying both wings of the UniParty doesn’t care if the presidency is held by Gavin Newsom or Ron DeSantis, as long as the system that affords them the influence and affluence is maintained. The only thing the billionaire class are against is any entity that would disrupt the system; ergo, Donald Trump is horrible.
In the biggest of big pictures, Ron DeSantis is in the race (paid to play the role) to ensure Donald Trump doesn’t get the nomination and present as the alternative to the UniParty outcome. It is Trump’s America First economic policies that must be avoided by the insurance policy that DeSantis represents.
From this baseline of globalist thought, if DeSantis wins – great. If DeSantis doesn’t win the primary, then all the money backing him will support the Democrat. It is the MAGA agenda that must be eliminated. It doesn’t really matter who eliminates it. This is the core dynamic in the background of the 2024 election.
(Via Washington Post) -DAVENPORT, Iowa — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has indicated privately that he intends to run for president, according to two people familiar with his comments.
A political committee that seeks to draft DeSantis into the race launched Thursday and is likely to serve as an approved outside spending vehicle for his campaign, three people familiar with the planning said.
And DeSantis will visit the early nominating states of Iowa on Friday and Nevada on Saturday as he tours the country promoting his memoir.
The public and private movements underline how far along DeSantis and his allies are in their preparation for the 2024 campaign, even as the Florida governor has not said publicly that he will enter the race.
Allies do not expect him to announce a run until after the Florida state legislative session ends in May. But in recent conversations, DeSantis has described his presidential plans without any caveats that would suggest he’s still deciding, according to the two people familiar with his comments who, like others interviewed for this story, spoke on the condition of anonymity to share private remarks.

The irony is rich.
RonDa is ONLY where he is because Trump graced him.
Trump’s new primary song: Help me RonDa. “Get on into the race!”
RonDa, Hilarious!
RonDa..love it.
GOPe was gonna be my wife
And I was gonna be her man
(Oh RonDa )
But Trump come between us
And it shattered our plans
(Oh RonDa )
Yes, just heard on the radio about DeSantis in Iowa, and of course they were pushing the BS that Trump and DeSellout were “close” in the polls, though Trump had a slight lead.
DeSantis LIED to the people of FL when he said he wasn’t running for President. The money the swamp offered him to try to take out Trump was too much to turn down. He has sold his soul to the Swamp. Betraying everyone who got him to where he is today.
Is anybody going to get a thrill/ chill whatever up /down their leg over this ( or whatever Chrissy Matthews said about Obama )? -But if they try to tell any MAGA voter that it is just rain they feel on their leg ….
…..is actually PP…..
Right, tinkle.
Anyone who knew DeSantis was not going to run for POTUS the day he was elected to Congress knows nothing about politics. Same for Triki Niki, Noem, and Kari Lake who will eventually get elected to the Senate or the House, even if it is from her moving to another state. Trump would be the only candidate who would ever select Kari as VP on the ticket.
This was the plan of DeSantis and his handlers all along. Yes, they lied to the people of Florida. They needed to get him re-elected to legitimize a presidential run. They have so little respect for the people of Florida that they purposefully disregarded their law knowing full well they will only need to twist a few repugnican arms to change the law.
Seems all the sunlight that has been shining on them lately has forced them announce early.
DeSantis and his supporters are currently lobbying the legislators to pass a bill to nullify the previous bill passed that prohibited existing office holder of campaigner for a different political office. Currently should he declare he would have to step down as govenor. Floridians did that because they were getting tired of politicians winning a office and then declaring a run for another thus having no time to do the job they were elected to do.
Yup and he and his cabal of grifters did and end run around Floridians.
When you see a fossil like Ed Rollins doing a spot on Tucker Carlson flavored “Help Us DRAFT Rhonda DeSoros for President” you know all of the GOPe is in on the farce.
Yea. , going in for just one more payday
I live in SC and got a call last evening displayed as Draft DeSantis. I should have answered it and UNLOADED, telling them what we know to be true. Will do it if the creeps call again.
I think the “Draft DeS” ploy will flop and fall flat as a pancake ..there will hardly be soft breeze for Top Gov . to feel ,but they will have to pretend otherwise ..
And I hope the people in FL turn on him quickly for his deception and lying to them.
Optics is everything.
The DeSantis campaign color is in shades of blue.
Meanwhile, the power of red in a MAGA hat is worth 100,000 words.
How many MAGA supporters and America Firsters will fall for this GOPe Trojan Horse candidate? I’m not, just wondering??
Not Enough.
My best friend fell for it, I just found out this week, manipulated right into RonDa’s arms… SMH
And I can’t change minds because they do not listen. Maybe it’s me.
Here’s our Lion…chilling, waiting.
Does he look worried to you?
Nope…he’s going to enjoy this.
Perfect…ha!
Doing the “Happy Baby” yoga pose!! “I’m chillin’ — just readying for the take-down!”
I am not either. In fact if Ron is at the top of the ticket I am not voting at all. I am thinking of writing the RNC and stating that if Ron is at top of the ticket, then I won’t vote at all which will affect down ticket Republicans. If enough people do this maybe they will realize the loss all Republicans will take. In fact any Republican up for re-election should be made aware of this fact. If we do this in large enough numbers it may make an impact. Just my opinion!
The fact is, Krystal, if you don’t vote, the RNC won’t care at all. They don’t particularly want to win. They get more money coming in from disappointed, angry (foolish) voters who want change when they don’t win.
Remember, the RNC only cares about donations.
Good point Belle. I did not consider that but I wonder if perhaps individual republicans who want to get re-elected may care. Oh well. I just pray President Trump makes it back!
By not winning, they can play the victim and still roll in the dough. But not voting? That’s like my mom used to say, “cutting off your nose to spite your face.” The though of Newsom and (probably) Abrams in charge is beyond repugnant.
I really don’t want to vote anymore
I’m in a state that is captive
the last 4 major elections were obviously stolen
so do I go back to get kicked in the face for the 5th time in a row??
I won’t have any teeth left!
at what point do you say enough?
tell me when its time to build the gallows
until then I should probably lay low or it will be used against me.
If you can’t see the difference between Ron DeSantis and Joe Biden…GOD HELP US. There will be nothing left of the United States after four more years of Biden and the Bolsheviks!
Good…many the world over have had enough of the criminals.
J6 is here because of Republicans.
President Trump has been harassed with the help of Republicans.
President Trump opened my eyes…they are staying open.
Cheers!
Yes, traitors the the American people! Both sides of the aisle!
When it comes to corruption status quo, dealing with the DC swamp, the Ukraine and dealing with the deep state please explain the difference! Thanks!
There is no substantive difference between them. Does Florida have CRT? Yes. Do the 30% of Kids in Florida read and do math at Grade Level? Yes Did DeSantis vote for TPP? Yes. Did DeSantis go to East Palestine Ohio? No Did DeSantis speak out for fellow Republican Trump when they raided his home? No
When they come for MAGA will DeSantis care? NO The only difference between Biden and DeSantis is the speed at which we reach either full socialism or communism. Like Hillary said, It does not matter.
“What difference, at this point; does it make!” — Felonia von Pantsuit
if you can’t see
there is NO difference between Biden and DeSantis
GOD HELP US
THEY ARE BOTH OWNED BY THE SAME WEF MASTER !!!!!
Exactly!!
IMO, America was captured by the banking cartel in 1913 with the Federal Reserve Act.
See Mike Whitney’s The Plan to Wreck America at unz.com (America, both parties, captured by oligarchs)
To a point. They can’t imagine losing by large margins. The Dems get 62 seats in the Senate and have 15+ in the House there’s no need for anyone to bribe the GOP for their votes. They make money selling their votes – eventually the lobbyists and corporations realize they don’t need to bribe the GOP anymore as they have zero power.
If the little swampers don’t get the benefit of the down vote and have to sit their a$$ at home, there goes their money machine.
I’ll definitely write in Donald J Trump.
If they wanted to win, they would not have let 2020 be stolen. And 2022. Arizona and the Georgia run off
I am doing the same. They will not listen to you because it isn’t about you, they do not care. Like brother SD says, it is ALL about money. Republicans admit “we make more money when our guys lose.”
I will be voting for Donald J Trump even if I have to write his name on the ballot where there is no space for a write in. Period, no question about it.
Same here!
I’ll be voting for President Trump in the general election which includes writing his name in if he’s not on the ballot.
Me….
I am still going to vote.
No matter what the circumstances are- if Donald J Trump is not on the ballot
I will write his name in
I have already presented this to a lot of friends and family. The are going to do the same thing!
No War
TRUMP 2024
I will vote local and state and for the blanking Dem at the top since write ins aren’t allowed in my state.
Write in President Donald J. trump!
If you don’t want RDS, just don’t fill in the oval for Pres. (or write in Trump).
Then skip down and vote for best person running in the state/locals.
Good idea. I was just hoping to send a message to the RNC but as others mentioned I should just write his name in if I can, and I should not give up on my voting ….
If they screw Trump, I don’t think any Republican should get a vote.
If they screw us out of Trump, we should utterly destroy the Greedy Old Possums.
That’s what I would do why bother.
Sure some down ticket Republicans may care, I appreciate the “ big guys” wouldn’t.
But it would be like watching a puppet show from behind the stage.
President Trump all the way!
Or F**k it.
We go John Galt..
Glad we have been on that road for a while now.
Looks like our Canadian Banks are cratering again.
Cheers!
If Ron is the top of the ticket, I am voting Democrat. They stab me in the back; I stab them back. There is not a legitimate way DeSantis can beat Trump. DeSantis could not fill the Reagan Library a week or so back. You have to hunt for pictures as they try to hide them.
Instead, why not write in Trump?
When the time comes, get a big blogger to write about the DeSantis vote boycott
Good idea!
Why not vote, but do a write in for Trump? That’s what I plan to do if they’re dumb enough to foist this phony on us.
I see a lot of people discussing it with each other and moving away from DeSantis.
Awesome.
My Florida friends and their friends are all voting Trump.
Interesting to hear people’s conversations within their circle, still it is hard to judge by individual conversations.
I would take to the bank that President Trump is much more popular than DeSantis with Florida voters. President Trump garnered 1.2 million more votes in 2020 than DeSantis in 2022.
It will get worse for DeSantis as word spreads about DeSantis’ backers and their agenda in backing him. A major donor (Griffin) said in a public interview that he in return for his donation he expects DeSantis to eliminate the popular movement (MAGA).
What MAGA voter would vote for a candidate’s who owes a major donor the promise to eliminate of MAGA. He took the money, ergo he signed on for the job to crush MAGA.
Ooops I was actually replying to Banana whose friends are supporting DeSantis
It will also get worse as the cost of living crisis hits Florida hard while he has neither time nor inclination to address it.
I’m in FL and will vote for Trump. I think DeSantis will be surprised by the lack of support he has in his own state for a Presidential run.
Not as many as the GOPe hopes for.
It’s a different time and word gets out quickly today.
Only the dumbest of the dumb or the Trump Haters will go along with the scam.
The problem is the many republicans who went along until the 2022 election losses manufactured by Bitch McConnell in the Senate. Not they say ‘Trump is finished, move on.”
Not me.
Ballot harvesters and dominion will vote as planned. Not for Trump for sure.
Quiet a lot unfortunately
so far about 35% to Trumps 65% ….. if you believe the polls
with a 95% approval by the entire GOP base , I think we have our answer to your question… it’s hard to see 10% ron really doing any real damage to MAGA Trump.. But i’m betting Trump has a thick book of stuff on Ron.
They want you to believe DeSantis is MAGA when hes just another Bush now that hes bought and paid for. Replace crooked Hillary with Newsome. The really sad part about all this pretending is that the cabal who are putting on this show already know they cannot win in a fair election. They are relying on the same fraud that got Branden installed. The Uniparty club are coordinating together who gets installed. This new dynamic of coordinated and planned mass election fraud became the New Normal beginning with the 2020 steal. The MSM manipulation and propaganda now only has a supporting role in election results but mainly to hide the new dynamic of institutionalized fraud.
The field test was Hugo Chavez being installed in Venezuela, Jimmy “the Peanut” Carter said was Free & Fair. Smat Matic hit the scene in 2002, the Holy Grail for cheating, my point these ant-American swine have been into massive fraud since electronic voting.
But your point is right on.
GWB and Jeb! did come out endorsed him last month, along with Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney.
A lion can’t beat an elephant.
1 billion war chest, supported by the UniParty, MSM droning on how great D cup is, Dominion changing votes and state legislatures moving ballots?
Looks like THEY have us surrounded…means we can attack in any direction.
Good night Chesty wherever you are.
Sorry but the money means nothing. Trump could just do his normal thing and still win. I am with you guys on Trump or bust. Screw them and the horse they rode in on.
Chesty was all balls and no fear got a love that guy
R.D.
Was just thinking about Lewis B. ‘Chesty’ Puller today and that quote. Along with Gen. McAuliffe when asked to surrender during the Bulge. NUTS!
Oorah….
take me to the brig, I want to see the real marines!
But Trump battled the GOP establishment, democrats and Uniparty in 2016 and won… Americans are more informed. We don’t fall for the propaganda machine coming from these many faux conservative talking heads and media forums. We stay informed, we communicate, continue to spread truth, stop the voter fraud at our community level and we keep the our faith. I believe we can put Trump in office for another term
Nope. Trump won because the pundits and political elite thought Trump was a joke, didn’t marshal their forces and…Hillary allowed Bill the oral office because she’s the nastiest power hungry, evilest woman on the political planet and I’d give coin to see her chucked into a van again.
Then 45 pulled a trillion dollars back from overseas money parks, folks got a raise, North Korea stopped firing missiles, and China got slapped down with a new North America trade agreement that closed the China two step routing goods to the U.S. THEY found out how effective he was and had 4 years to prepare the steal.
2024 will be the Rubicon. Steal our voice and murder our lives again and we good to work.
Agreed.
Shiv PDJT and we will respond in kind but across the entire damned country.
sounds like you’ll just lay down and become easy dinner ……
DeSantis 2024
“basically a bush but without the heart”
Recall Jeb spent 100 million and got 3 electoral votes.
It’s why D cup is sitting on 500 million and another 500m when he declares.
And if he gets 5 electoral it will be the biggest political bust in US history.
I like RD, he is my governor. I may be wrong to do so, naive, missing the picture, etc. Regardless I am all in with President Trump.
I don’t think you’re wrong as it seems as though he’s been an okay governor.
When he started taking Big Money, I smelled a rat.
That’s the difference between President Trump and RD.
President Trump never took any $$ because that was “deal” breaker for him. He knew he would never be able to do what needed to be done, and to stand for the American people if he was beholden to Big Lobbyist money. He got into politics and risked his own fortune for us.
Ron DeSantis would never risk that.
THAT, my friend is the BIG difference.
Right, with the money thing, how could we ever trust Ron to be America First in all his decisions.
Exactly!
I liked the idea that President Trump wasn’t a politician..or a lawyer. But a businessman. My feelings have not changed.
Promises made and Promises kept. And that was done even with the Swamp Critters working against him at every opportunity.
DeSanctimonious is lawyer and Swamp Politician.
NO WAR
TRUMP 2024
He has proven to be so much more than a businessman, he is a Statesman.
We haven’t seen his like since Reagan and The Gipper would be awed at what his protege has done.
Me to. In Florida primary I vote for Trump.
Personally, I think pretty soon, he will be as popular as a whore in church.
I will NEVER vote for DeSantis no matter when he runs for POTUS.
Did someone say voting by the citizens of America was required or even needed.
With you on that Harry there is nothing he can do to get my vote nothing full stop
R.D.
Not voting is a bad option.
Voting to destroy the Greedy Old Possums will be absolutely necessary if they succeed in neutering Trump.
Not voting GOP would then be our only means of destroying their business model.
Without credibility, without office, without donations, they would be done.
Then we can create anew.
The poison must be expelled.
The billionaire class paying both wings of the UniParty doesn’t care if the presidency is held by Gavin Newsom or Ron DeSantis, as long as the system that affords them the influence and affluence is maintained. The only thing the billionaire class are against is any entity that would disrupt the system; ergo, Donald Trump is horrible.
And, the UniParty controls the voting system, or should I have said the selection system. So how will the real voters overcome all of this corruption?
DeSantis must be getting paid well, because the ridicule will be unbearable. Bring on the Trump and lets smash this weak kneed AH!
Maybe Koch can get DeSantis a few rental houses on the beach with basements.
Retired Magistrate here: If I remember right Charlie Crist stated that if DeSantis was elected Governor of Florida DeSantis would immediately start a campaign for President. I certainly am no fan of Charlie Crist but it looks like he was right.
If I was a resident of Florida who voted for DeSantis I would be really ticked off right now.
If you like your Governor you can keep him; um, maybe not.
Politicians know how politicians think and act in accord to aggrandizement.
See what you did there Marcia! So true, and very Obamaesque: “If you like your
doctorGovernor you can keep him; um, maybe not.”“The fraud behind him, not necessarily DeSantis himself, has been my biggest issue with his political leadership since the summer of last year.”
“Lots of conservatives will make money from this DeSantis national launch.”
This is so true for Corporate Media types, not to mention the consultants. Losers like Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace made millions at the helm of McCain’s losing campaign. They were then paid by the people they supposedly ran against at MSNBC to betray their party.
Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”
I would no longer call nor consider them conservative so much as followers of their newest self crafted character assessments of backstabber, traitor, sellout, etc. , but not conservative by any means what so ever.
“He who does not bellow the truth when he knows the truth makes himself the accomplice of liars and forgers.” – Charles Peguy
And all kinds of former Trump backers, that Bill Mitchell guy, are paid to back him in one way or another.
Huge hurdle–how to present DeSantis as someone not wanting to represent the American worker when it looks to the world that he has represented them in FLA.
I believe it will take a reasoned, logical argument by our guy, not silly insults, to take him down in the primaries w/out destroying himself too.
This is Trump’s opportunity to present a fresh face to people who voted Biden last time. I still don’t think Biden will be the nominee, but it doesn’t matter.
Trump has the American worker/working class/ middle class/college aged student in his heart when he does the job.
All the others have the donors’ interests at heart.
So, Donald has to tell the American public why it is that American corporations that once espoused American values and once revered the work of American workers no longer give a damn about us
He needs to tell Americans why it is that well-known American companies don’t even care what we think about their political stances (sure, it’s fine not to complain when men take trophies in sports from your daughters, when special interests tell us there really isn’t a definition of a girl or a woman), why it is they once cared about the success of the American school kid in classrooms and they seem not to care at all now.
DeSantis can speak to those things very well.
Can our guy?
Well, he has to.
I’d rather he be articulate and best DeSantis THAT way than in any other way. He’ll only gain votes by addressing those things.
I know, I know: I am trying NOT to ask him to be something he is not. I still feel he has it in him.
Speech given by Donald J Trump
on the eve of the 2016 election
“Our Movement is about replacing
A failed and corrupt political establishment
With a new government controlled by you, the American people.
The Washington establishment
And the financial and media corporations that fund it,
Exist for only one reason,
To protect and enrich itself.
The establishment has trillions of dollars
At stake in this election.
For those who control
The levers of power in Washington
And for the global special interests,
They partner with these people who don’t have your good in mind.
Our campaign represents a true existential threat
Like they haven’t seen before.
This is not simply another 4 year election;
This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization
That will determine whether or not,
We the People reclaim control over our government.
The political establishment that is trying to stop us,
Is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals,
Massive illegal immigration,
And economic and foreign policies that have bled our country dry.
The political establishment has brought about
The destruction of our factories
And our jobs
As they flee to Mexico, China
And other countries all around the world.
It’s a global power structure
That is responsible for the economic decisions
That have robbed our working class,
Stripped our country of its wealth,
And put that money into the pockets
Of a handful of large corporations and political entities.
This is a struggle for the survival of our nation
And this will be our last chance to save it.
This election will determine whether we are free nation
Or whether we have only the illusion of democracy,
But are in fact controlled by a small handful
Of globalist special interests rigging the system,
And our system is rigged. This is reality;
You know it, they know it, I know it,
And pretty much the whole world knows it.
The Clinton machine is at the center of this power structure.
We’ve seen this first hand in the Wikileaks documents,
In which Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks
To plot the destruction of US sovereignty
In order to enrich these global financial powers,
Her special interest friends, and her donors.
Honestly, she should be locked up.
The most powerful weapon deployed by the Clintons
Is the corporate media; the press.
Let’s be clear on one thing- the corporate media in our country
Is no longer involved in journalism.
They’re a political special interest,
No different than any lobbyist or other financial entity,
With a total political agenda,
And the agenda is not for you, it’s for themselves.
Anyone who challenges their control is deemed a sexist.
A racist. A xenophobe. They will lie, lie, lie,
And then again, they will do worse than that.
They will do whatever is necessary.
The Clintons are criminals, remember that.
This is well-documented.
And the establishment that protects them
Has engaged in a massive cover-up of widespread criminal activity
At the state department and the Clinton Foundation
In order to keep the Clintons in power.
They knew they would throw every lie they could at me
And my family and my loved ones.
They knew they would stop at nothing to try to stop me.
Nevertheless, I take all of these slings and arrows gladly for you.
I take them for our movement,
So that we could have our country back.
I knew this day would arrive;
It was only a question of when.
And I knew the American people would rise above it
And vote for the future they deserve.
The only thing that can stop this corrupt machine is you.
The only force strong enough to save our country is us.
The only people brave enough
To vote out this corrupt establishment is you,
The American people.
Our great civilization has come upon a moment of reckoning.
I didn’t need to do this folks, believe me.
I built a great company and I had a wonderful life.
I could have enjoyed the fruits and benefits
Of years of successful business deals and businesses
For myself and my family instead of going through
This absolute horror show of lies, deceptions,
Malicious attacks; who would have thought.
I’m doing it because this country has given me so much,
And I feel, so strongly, that it’s my turn to give back
To the country that I love.
I’m doing this for the people and for the Movement,
And we will take back this country for you,
And we will Make America Great Again.”
-DJT
In other words another puppet.
Sundance, do you know who it was that approached DeSantis to run for governor?
Was his run part of a long game that is in view now?
i’m in iowa and this is the first i heard he was in the state.i bet ernst is there also.everytime i see a pic or interview with mcconnel she’s standing right behind him.she sure turned into a rino.either way even if desantis gets the nomination i will still write in trump.
Ron just lost my vote in 2028.
No more Romney, no more Bush, no more McCain’s.
GOPe must be destroyed!
DaSand man ain’t sending you a dream. Beware of the fake conservatives who will stop at nothing to defeat Trump. Expect a full court press on Covid and Trumps bungling of it. Expect Fox, Brightbart media and other outlets to be in DaSandmans corner. A billion dollars speaks volumes about this charlatan who will no doubt be handled with kid gloves by Rogan , Levin, Hannity and Ingraham among others. The election of 2020 was stolen. Is there reason it won’t happen in 24. Our voices will be muffled by all media and the public will be silent. The same way Covid was handled. In my world only Trump has my vote but these go along Republican politicians will work diligently to remove Trump from running.
Sorry Ron we love ya ………………. but won’t vote for ya until Trump has had his second term.
I probably wouldn’t vote for him then either.
He’s done.
I have no use for back stabbing Swamp Critters .
NO WAR
TRUMP 2024
Trump has my vote whether he’s on the ticket or not. DS will not be president. Voting for a RINO/Deep State operative is the same as voting Dem as far as I am concerned.
I’m never voting for RDS. He cashed the Big Club Uniparty check. He is now owned by Big RINO. A sell out is a sell out.
Voting for Ronnie after Trump is still a vote for the Uniparty/establishment that we are trying to rid ourselves of. There is going to have to be someone after Trump’s second term, but it can’t and won’t be anyone who is backed by and part of the Uniparty! That’s the point. It’s NEVER RONNIE not just wait your turn Ronnie!
To be honest, I’m excited by this. What a great opportunity for Pres Trump to point out that the people behind DeSantis support Mitt Romney. Liz Cheney, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, etc.
He’s not just going to be able to run against DeSantis. 2024 is looking like an opportunity to CLEAN HOUSE in the GOP “Liz Cheney style”.
I think I read that Romney is thinking about not running.
Btw, Pres Trump is basically running as an incumbent. The last time he did that, he shattered records for turnout nationwide even though he ran unopposed.
The eGOP still hasn’t figured out that the base of the party believes Trump is the legitimately elected President of the United States.
Oh the ruse of that ‘book tour’. He won’t make it through the primaries. RINO’s playing RINO games. When will we lose the Iowa sets the pace mindset.
What will be really funny is when his book ends up on the clearance shelves at Barnes & Noble — or even in thrift stores — before the 2024 campaign has even begun in earnest. Shoot, I wouldn’t even buy an autographed first edition for five bucks.
I hope and pray that Ron will realize he is on the brink of ruining his political career. I think he is smart enough to realize that he is a pawn to be played against Trump. But, I believe he is ethically challenged by the huge amount of money involved. Too bad’; so sad. Trump all the way!!!!
Florida, what say you?
I would be asking if he thought he was going to run for President, why didn’t he mentor, support and campaign for his successor 2 years ago?
I remember Sarah Palin catching heck for leaving Alaska governorship and she was ASKED to SERVE by the Presidential candidate. Ron is being asked to run by donors and media.
DeSantis is a lawyer… The last thing we need as president. He would be an ideal Attorney General. For Trump.
I don’t think Trump could trust him. Nope. Not Ron.
DeSanctimonious has shown he has no honor or integrity and is not of good character.
But most importantly-that he has a price..and can be bought.
How could we even trust him as President…..he is showing if he runs. …..
He has a price and can be bought.
NO WAR
TRUMP 2024
No. Ron has already been purchased by Big RINO and Big Uniparty. Do you really think that he would be honest in any capacity as US AG??? Really?? He will be told what to do every step of the way NO MATTER WHAT JOB HE GETS. They own him now.
He belongs to them and he will do what they tell him to do and when to do it. RON sold his soul.
I still love how Fox interviewed the people in the Florida restaurant and all but one said Trump. Kilmeade was freaking…
The more I noodle on this I think RdS will end up like Jeb! If he turns his back on Florida people will bolt.
Has DeSantis ever committed to an America First strategy. I’ve never heard him mention America First or MAGA. Possibly he has, but I haven’t heard him utter either,
Is he ok with what is happening in Washington? Uni party/Establishment rule? Corrupt government institutions? U.S. intervention into foreign governments with CIA and military-$ and wars. Fair Trade and US manufacturing, Green policies-So much we don’t know-But Karl Rove likes him 😱
If he really cared about our country he would help Trump be as good as he can be expanding America First policies and getting America back to being America. Since it doesn’t seem that is what he is going to do, it must be his ego or the Establishment driving him to get in to stop Trump and America First.
Spot on.
Chef Boy RD is busy Yelling at Fauci
or something
nothing about the economy or energy or DC corruption
or jan 6
he is such a sellout WEF POS
Ron hid in the bunker when Mar-a-Largo was raided, and to my knowledge he hasn’t said a thing about J6 and the prisoners. So I would have to say no, he doesn’t care about America First, or us, We the People. He will do what his RINO backers tell him to do.
I do give him credit for getting a bridge built in 3 days, but really that was the engineers.
He does have the MAGA hand movements down, of course, copied from Trump.
Remember how Trump said at CPAC something to the effect that he will take down the entire Deep State. Does anyone think Ron DeSantis would make that same kind of speech knowing full well that major players in the DS are backing his campaign?
Hopefully DeSantis has the good sense to not self emulate like Cruz did. The real problem DeSantis will have is standing on a debate stage next to Trump and having his charisma deficit exposed. The debate manager will try to neutralize that but I doubt it will work.
I have a vested interested in FL….and I am concerned as I am not hearing him talk much about the people of Florida, lately.
Good Lord! Like the 17 geldings of 16 they’ll all be swept aside.
The only way they could win is by cheating.
Since they have apparently mastered cheating in the general election, they will be moving into cheating in the primaries?
It doesn’t matter. The way things are progressing it will be anarchy by 2024. My guess is it all explodes this spring.
Something is gonna break, don’t know when or where, but it will happen.
Am thinking it will be when Social Security payments aren’t made because the debt ceiling has been reached.
But somehow, some way, a few more trillion will be eaked out for Ukraine.
This is going to be epic. AND very destructive to the party’s chances in 2024.
DeSantis should stand down.
I’ve had a thought for a while that RDS is doing the deep state work as a payback for having them give his wife the cure.
Wife is drooling over the thought of bring FLOTUS. She is already imitating Jackie O. She looks fake and disingenuous.
She looked ridiculously overdressed for the inauguration
She’s just like Jill. She will do and say anything to be First Lady.
She wants you to imagine her as First Lady being so over dressed.
It was all for optics.
He would prefer a YOUNGER high school girl.
The courage to be free is now number one on NYT non fiction books. Perfect timing.
I bet all the “conservative” PACS bought a bunch of them….no way individual Americans bought the book in large quantities.
Can anyone show a pathway for a MAGA victory?
Stop the cheating.
Honest voting
To all the frauds, proclaiming themselves MAGA candidates. Saying it, doesn’t make it so. The real President Trump, not only says it, he lives it.
I get that Sundance and most here deplore this development – which Sundance has been presciently predicting for a long time now and for the RINO-related reasons he rightly gives. Not taking anything away from that view, there are also more benign factors at play as well, namely:
So it makes sense on a very simple level like that.
I have mixed feelings. On the one hand am heartily sick of the Two-Party circus in US body politic and don’t feel inspired to support either of them. I was deeply disappointed after 2020-21 debacle that Trump announced he would NOT form a 3rd Party. IMO without doing that there is no point in his running. He is not proposing anything which remotely begins to dismantle or deeply curtail the Deep State. I don’t see any point in supporting him at this point though I wish I felt otherwise.
Indeed, I think by far the most effective approach at this point would be for more patriots-independents to push secession movements. Third Party won’t work (which is why Trump wisely refused to go that route) and current Duo is just supporting controlled opposition. Secession is the way. But too many keep believing that if they keep doing the same thing (voting in federal elections which are clearly gamed) they will get a different result.
Time for change!
Ron will only accomplish infuriating the MAGA base who will stay home which will insure a Demonic Pedo Democrat stays in the Oval Office. Probably the plan anyway.
Thing about MAGA….we like nothing better than to throw sand in the machine.
🤪 we will just write Trump name on the ballots!
This is the sabotage of the Tea Party Part II.
Exactly what they want.
You sound like a Nigerian prince’s wet dream. I have a bridge to sell you.
I see that we have a new “I Love Ron” fan girl. Truth about someone is now called “bile”.
DeSantis is being backed now to beat Trump, that is it. Even if he wins the primary by some miracle, he will lose the election (unless there is some back room deal b/w D’s, R’s, Deep State and MSM to keep up the illusion of choice for the plebes). At that point, Trump is likely out of politics and the goal has been achieved and DeSantis will be dropped like a bad habit. Entering the race in 2024 will be his own death knell.
I feel sorry for those who clearly have enough financial security but continue to sell their soul for more. That is not what this temporary life on earth is about.
What no one mentions is… charges will be filed against VSGPDJT and the RINOs will have rules that preclude a candidate with open felony charges against them.
RON!
🖕
RUN! There, FIFY.
opportunist SOB!
This is going to be ugly. I do think they only push DeSantis so they don’t have manufacture 30 million ballots in 2024 to steal the Whitehouse. DeSantis will lose fair and square.
Or installed as payback for the uniparty to get another puppet and demonstrate we have free and fair elections. Especially after three terms of Obama failures.
Ron DeSanctimonius!
Really. That is ridiculous. He is so obviously controlled opposition at this point. In any case, he already did his job this time around: there will be no third party, ergo no reform of DC without which it doesn’t make a damn bit of difference who gets elected. The only purpose of the election is to keep the plebs busy thinking they live in a representative republic wherein their vote matters and the country is being properly run as a bona fide republic.
Suckers one and all!!
DeSantis was in Alabama last night in Birmingham. He was the headline speaker for the state Republican party’s winter dinner.
Faux is careful not to highlight that.
Ready for Ron..
Good grief how narcissistic can you get !
Just about as good as Jeb!.
Ready for Ron to lose?
Ready for Ron to catch up?
Ready for Ron to get a clue?
Oh boy….the possibilities are endless.
NO WAR
TRUMP 2024
Doesn’t Florida have a law that DeSantis must step down as Governor before he can run for a different office?
Yes, but they legislators can easily change that.
And the legislature is working on that now.
Nice to see they care about their constituents. When was his inauguration?
Re “With former Cruz Crew leader Ken Cuccinelli coordinating…”
I predict that Cuccinelli will be just as successful in making DeSantis president as he was in making Ted Cruz president.
Put down the crack pipe.
