If I did not know the background of Ron DeSantis; if I did not have an exhaustive research library on the activity behind Ron DeSantis; if I was not aware of how the professional Republican establishment creates the ‘illusion of choice’; I would watch this interview with a generally good sense about Ron DeSantis.
However, unfortunately for the professionally Republican political class, we do know how they operate, and we are able to see the strings on the marionettes. So, when the selected and managed product of their three-year strategic plan says about fundraising, “I deal better with regular people,” we are able to call it as nonsense with accurate data to highlight the lie.
94% of all Ron DeSantis’ money comes from Wall Street, hedge fund managers, billionaires and multinational corporations. Only 6% comes from small donors, or what you might describe as “regular people.” {LINK} Additionally, you don’t spend 3-days with billionaire donors at Four Seasons donor retreat in Palm Beach, followed shortly by 3-days at a Club for Growth donor retreat in Miami, and then get to claim you “deal better with regular people.” This is just a lie.
There are parts of this interview that many readers here will agree with. There are also many parts of this interview that readers might take exception to. But the entirety of the hour long, mostly softball, Rupert Murdoch organized interview, is based on three years of carefully managed constructs. WATCH
.
Dunno, in those two screen shots, he reminds of Data from Star Trek. Programmed, mechanical, or something. I am already tired of him and he hasn’t announced.
The screen shots remind me of something a bit further back……
When I look at DeSantis’ expression, I keep hearing….
“Gee, Wally”.
He has a perpetual pout on his face. I can’t stand the sight or sound of him.
For our persons of fewer years, a reference: “Leave it to Beaver” (1957 TV show). Think hard, who could play Wally?
De Santis probably resembles Tony Dow more then Jerry Mathers. Tony Dow
was better looking then DeSantis.
But the expression on his face is pure Beaver Cleaver.
Here’s the complete dialogue:
“Gee Wally, ya know how you told me my body
would have changes? I see what ya mean.
Everytime I look in the mirror I see Eddie Haskell”.
With the exception of the recent explosion of — and stolen election from — Kari Lake, Trump is the only
politiciannon-politician who comes across as completely genuine & authentic since Ronald Reagan.Ironically, EVERYBODY ELSE seems to acting & following scripts … Hollywood for ugly people, indeed.
Well, since they must “act” like who they’re supposed to be…who can blame them? 🙂
There is something about his looks and when he talks that rubs me wrong too.
I haven’t put my finger on it yet, but his whole aura just reeks to me of bulls**t.
There is something just “off” about him.
It’s like febreze covering a bad smell.
You know it’s there, but can’t quite tell what it is.
he reeks phony
That’s exactly how I felt about Pence. Put my finger on it after the Gen Flynn debacle.
Oh, I can put my finger on Pence’s problem–his eyes are dead like an iguana. He is soulless.
Kind of.
It’s his aura.
He would blend right into a Twilight Zone episode.
Deadeye Mike? He does seem very staid, like a statue.
I always looked at Pence as Trump’s GHWB…
The see- 👁-a handler “managing” the people’s choice.
Always looked at Pompeo that way too.
That hoity toity wall street provenance is starting to become visible . The mask is slipping. I dearly hope Trump rips that mask off very publically.
He may start to crack as his real agenda and backers are exposed.
Part of it is his make-up, in this interview he has a very bad dye job. His suits always look polyester and never seem to fit him properly. He is like a programmed robot. And what makes it is worse once you know the game, it is revolting to watch.
“at the end of the day” completely turns me off, whoever says it repeatedly
Like, what do you mean, like, he’s saying, like, an annoying phrase? 🤣
Nom sayin?
I can’t imagine that there is anything in this interview that I would ever care to hear…since…I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR RON DESANTIS. I’m done with the Republican Establishment. Never again…I’ve seen the strings. 💥💥TRUMP OR BUST 💥💥
Please, no more never-whoever. Internecine warfare is for the primaries only.
Of course it will be a tragedy and a travesty if the party fails to unite around Trump, but the original sin of the never-Trump movement was that it was traitorous to the Republican side.
Jonah Goldberg, who I used to admire, became an absolute stinking rotten goddamned traitor, effectively on the side of our now fully communist Democratic Party, and he has remained so ever since.
I don’t ever want to see that again from anybody. It is treason to our party. There are going to be weak sisters. A party in our two-party system is necessarily a big house. But even with all the weak sisters, the Democrats are still infinitely worse.
Much as I hate Romney, Obama was infinitely worse than Romney. I campaigned for that Pierre Delecto scumbag, knowing full well that he was responsible for the first iteration of Obamacare in his term as governor of Massachusetts.
“Nah,” said one passerby to my “vote for Romney,” pitch. He identified himself as a libertarian and repeated the libertarian slogan: “The lesser of two evils is still evil.”
“Yeah,” I answered, “but wouldn’t you rather have less evil than more evil?” He was dumbfounded, like he had never thought about the meaning of his own stupid slogan.
If you can’t favor less evil over more evil, don’t pretend you are moral.
I’m seriously pissed off at DeSantis. He consistently pretends that the 2020 election was not stolen, which is the one issue that trumps all others. The battle now is to keep the election stealers from securing radically dishonest elections forever, a long shot even if everyone knows what is up, since the Democrats already managed to pull off two rounds of radically dishonest national elections in a row, and are using those victories to strengthen their election stealing power.
But DeSantis is infinitely better than any Democrat. He is actually the second best Republican (third best if Kari Lake runs). Anyone who would choose to side with the Democrats over DeSantis, whether by voting Dem or by sitting out, is a moral imbecile.
I am restraining myself with effort from tearing to pieces your piece, Alec, so I’ll just put it to you with one point.
ANYONE who is discussing an election and NOT insisting that unless we get rid of all of THE FIX there is no such thing as an election, merely a piece of theatre no different from what just happened in China’s ‘unanimous’ vote and every other election that has magnificent unanimity when a dictator calls the shots, is a moronic ignoramus.
Calling those who have gotten wise to the Republican party now being nothing more than another globalist swamp piece is proof of membership among the oblivious.
DeSantis has proven these last few days that he will do nothing but go along with the same handlers who manage Biden. If you don’t get that, consider looking in the mirror and applying your last bit of name calling to yourself.
Agreed.
There are going to be Millions more people hurt by these horrible economic policies that will vote to save themselves. Biden is running off millions maybe even tens of millions of votes.
The question is when THEY steal 2024, and we know it will happen, our voice nulled again, will US walk into corporate politics and do what must be done?
Despite what we’ve been told in the past, voting straight Republican is no longer a winning strategy. The electorate has done nothing more than shoot themselves in the foot with the likes of Romney, Ryan, Grassley Graham Thune McConnell Crenshaw et al., more interested in the status quo to their benefit than advancing what is good for their constituents. The boogy bear threat of a democrat in office no longer holds us in fear. That strategy has given us nothing but democrat-lites or lying sociopaths. Same same.
Pierre for President!!
Make America Uniparty Again!!
DeSoros is a RINO.
No. He’s full blown swamp alum.
Battered Conservative Syndrome much?
You are the moral imbecile if you wish to be childish and call people names.
There is no more D v R
There is only Uni-party v MAGA America 1st.
You choose to remain in willful denial while we have a country to save.
AND DeBush is my governor.
The main reason DeScumbag is so celebrated by the “elite” is his hands off approach to the machines from hell. As I posted in the other thread, his administration ignored millions of calls and email demanding Florida be returned tp one day only voting and tabulation on watermarked, serialized handcounted paper ballots. Demonrat shenanigans in Palm Beach County in 2000 were the catalyst for us to enter this electronic voting we all love and cherish so much.. Our State owed it to the rest of the Country to be the first to restore faith in our most sacred right. If we coulda done it other States would have followed. But no we didn’t. This is where I realized the Democrats are straight up about being crooked and Republicans are crooked about being straight up.
Florida was ALLOWED to go forward with honest voting (overall) in 2022; much like Virginia was ALLOWED to go forward with honest voting in 2021…seriously, who would put McAwful out there to say, on the national stage no less, that teachers have the right to teach whatever they want and parents have no say-so.
The Cabal thinks we’re stupid. 🙄
Funny how Rubio sounded the alarm on Snipes in Broward County, yet they (Desantis, Scott, and Rubio) did nothing to help Trump facing the same situation across the country in the election aftermath of 2020. DeSantis did not fix Florida’s election issues. They are still vulnerable.
Also, as long as y’all remain registered Republican’t, You are the problem. If a couple million (R)’s in Florida went and switched to NPA?Independent today, the Racketeer National Committee would have a full blown freakout.
GOP in my state has closed primaries. If not a registered GOP voter, you can’t participate in the primary and help select the candidate for the general election. This is why I’m still registered GOP
In my opinion, the primary is where to hold the eGOP to account. However, the turnouts for primaries have been terrible, with folks just assuming that the ‘right,’ candidate will win automatically.
We are a closed primary. If there ain’t enough registered (R)’s to win against the demonrats in the big show before the Primary, many months before, do you think that would raise some pulses in the parasites of the GOPe/Racketeer National Criminals? Who runs Bartertown?
So it is fine that the Decepticons stab us in the back, we should just vote for them. So it is ok that McConnell and his crew helped get the 1.8 Trillion passed in December so Republican House was hamstrung? So it is ok that McConnell can keep the Senate in session to interfere with President Trump’s picks. Count me as a moral imbecile. McConnell has us on the slow train to socialism. Or as President Trump said, we have passed socialism. If Trump is NOT the nominee, I am voting Democrat. And hopefully it sinks one of my RINO Senators.
I wouldn’t go as far as voting for the communists.
Abstention is a noble task.
What sane MAGA Republican -and yes MAGA is the power in the new Republican Party would think of voting for Desanctimonious over our leader and president DJT? The choice is NOT between Desanctimonious or Demoncrats. It’s between President Trump & Desanctimonious. Between Good and Evil. Between a genuinely caring man and a donor class puppet. And guess who wins by a landslide? Not even close. So enough of your “lesser of two evils” BS. Muchas gracias.
You are talking about the choice in the primaries. At that point it is Trump vs. DeSantis. After the primaries it is either the best Republican (Trump) or the second-best Republican (DeSantis) against a straight-up totalitarian communist from the Democratic Party who will eagerly mass murder their political opposition.
That is the purpose behind JoeBama’s classification of people who know that Democrats are stealing elections, and people who speak out against gender ideology at school board meetings, as terror threats under our post-9/11 anti-terror laws. They are literally planning on killing us, as communists have never once failed to do, once they are secure enough in their usurpation of our republican democracy.
How could anyone possibly side with these existential enemies over DeSantis, either by voting for the left or by sitting out, should DeSantis win the nomination? That’s radical insanity.
Please get a grip. Don’t do what Jonah Goldberg and the other Never Trumpers did. Don’t carry intraparty conflict beyond the primaries. It’s just a basic principle of rationality.
We are where we are today in the US from years of “better than any democrat”. Election fraud and corruption has not been dismantled nationwide so our vote will have little to do with who wins the election anyway. Moral imbeciles come in all sorts of sizes. One of the hardest things to learn is to decide which bridge to cross and which to burn.
We fight that battle in the PRIMARIES. This is not hard. Be rational!
“A moral imbecile”, Alec, is someone who keeps voting themselves into the hellhole with the same people who dug the hellhole.
Isn’t it funny how the other side gets to play that game, but we aren’t allowed to.
From billionaire bankers to famous political consultants to elected politicians, it is okay to fight against Tea Party, MAGA, etc. in the general election.
But conservatives are not even allowed to think about staying home if one of those backstabbers need your vote to keep backstabbing you.
My advice to you is don’t be a cheap date. The primaries aren’t until next year. This constitutional republic is well and truly done for if MAGA accepts judging Republican nominees against Democrats.
With all due respect, nothing is more self-defeating than announcing that you’re willing to do so nine months before the primaries begin. DeSantis has been a good, if not excellent, Florida Governor. Yet at the same time, and in our faces no longer deniable since the Mar-a-Lago raid, he’s made all the wrong moves vis-à-vis Trump/MAGA.
If you knew nothing except the broadest of broad-strokes, you’d assess that DeSantis couldn’t have more damaged his political future if he were trying to.
Here’s where we are in a nutshell:
The anti-Trump alignment, which is everyone who is anybody, foreign and domestic, remains inalterably committed to what I label “Trump Must Go!” 2020 revealed that meant By Any Means Necessary. The 2022 AZ election, a state steal as in our faces as 2020, was an effective demonstration that GOPe remains controlled-opposition loyal to the UniParty.
What they did to Kari Lake was a message not lost on DeSantis. Indeed, he was its principal intended recipient. The only way to explain what DeSantis has done and continues to do is to see that he was told what time it was: He must play the role they have assigned him for this cycle to retain his prospects for 2028. Yes, they hope to hit pay-dirt by stopping Trump from winning the nomination but, regardless, if Meatball Ron wants to preserve his chances for 2028 he must do as ordered now.
“if Meatball Ron wants to preserve his chances for 2028 he must do as ordered now”
and therein is a great summary of the problem. Ron is willing to be a Big Donor/Uniparty puppet–the enemy of MAGA, the enemy of America First. MAGA is my party, not the GOP, not the DNC.
In Nov 2024, I will vote for President Trump. If he’s not on the ballot, I will write him in if possible to do so in my state –if not, I’ll select some third party candidate to make sure a non-vote isn’t turned into a DeSantis vote.
And no matter what, as a member of the MAGA movement, I’ll show up on election day to vote downballot for every MAGA candidate.
Not that many here needed it but the clarifying event was the 2022 A election steal. The anti-Trump alignment couldn’t allow Kari Lake to become the inheritor/alternative for MAGA for 2024.
That would have neutralized the UniParty’s Hobson’s Choice strategy they’ve spent years constructing around DeSantis.
This I accept. It might make some sense to threaten to pull a Jonah Goldberg and become traitors to our own side unless our guy wins the nomination.
The problem is that for this threat to work, you can’t signal that it’s a bluff, and nobody here (except for you) is signaling that their “never DeSantis” threat is a bluff.
Are many here bluffing? I sure hope so. I hope everybody is bluffing, but I don’t think they are. Most people don’t operate that way, and therein lies the problem with bluffing.
You are more likely to convince people who are already Trump supporters to become actual “never DeSantis” lunatics (a la Jonah Goldberg, traitors to their own side), than you are to convince DeSantis supporters to vote for Trump in the primaries. You might even turn them into never Trumpers.
Displays of irrational hostility (vote for my guy or I’ll support the Democrats who want us both dead), are not a good form of persuasion, and are likely to create additional irrational hostility in response within our own half of America’s two-party system.
So while I could appreciate a bluff if I thought it would be productive, I don’t think that the Jonah Goldberg strategy can ever be productive. It’s a huge mistake and I hate to see the intelligent and informed participants in the great Treehouse enterprise fall into this truly egregious mindset.
the people who are hearing you make this threat are other people who are already supporting Trump, and
President Trump versus DeSantis is still President Trump versus the ruling class establishment, and the establishment is corrupt.
DeSantis is just another marionette in a different costume and with different lines for the children to hear. Those pulling the strings are same people who gave us the current political class that is ruining the country.
He needs to be dispatched like JEB!
“If you can’t favor less evil over more evil, don’t pretend you are moral.”
Careful there Alex. There is only One Who is omniscient.
They are both taking you to the same place, one just gets you there faster.
Battered conservative syndrome is a real thing.
Its like you skip over all the posts about what the uniparty is. The republicans are mirror images of the Democrats. And the goal of both parties is to retain the power structure that allows them to money laundering and inside trade. And they work in tandem to maintain it.
Read Sundance’s other recent post from last night about what the republicans are really doin this election cycle. They are not positioning themselves to win. Their goal is to get rid of MAGA. Ron’s benefactor Griffen even said it out loud in an interview.
Just like they allowed the steal and set up the Jan 6th fedsurrection. Their objective is to destroy PDJT and the movement.
Desantis signed himself up to be their weapon. Why would we ever support him?
I will NEVER vote fo another RINO ever again.
Better to lose the election and find a way to fix the Republican Party than continue down the globalization path.
These so called better than Democrats are still destroying our country.
Your argument is misplaced on certain points such as who is responsible for party division and the immorality of not potentially choosing to back DeSantis.
Of course, it might well be posited that any Republican is better than a Democrat and that we should always choose to vote for a Republican over a Democrat.
But you are not addressing a particular objection concerning DeSantis. Specifically, that DeSantis is creating the “internecine warfare” you mentioned. And that warfare is purposeful – in order to split the base.
That is the *major issue* you seemingly fail to grasp, that it is DeSantis and his big money donors who *want* to split the base. Sundance has written about the issue in depth. Thus it is DeSantis’s conduct which is immoral and is designed to create the very division you dislike.
DeSantis also betrayed President Trump on more than one occasion – after Trump helped him become governor(!) – a betrayal due to raw greed and personal ambition to get ahead. This betrayal is also immoral.
So, the term”moral imbecile” that you used is more applicable to the actions of DeSantis than those who oppose him. And those who will not capitulate and vote for DeSantis are not “Republican traitors” as you have claimed, but are the ones being betrayed by DeSantis and his big money donors.
In the end, they may have to vote for DeSantis over a democrat anyway. But it is to be hoped that the schemes of DeSantis will be fully revealed and recognized and that we will never need capitulate to the “lesser of two evils.”
I choose to abstain in the event DeSantis steals the nomination.
You know there is a right to abstain, don’t you?
Your assumption is not universally true. In hindsight I can say this country would have been better off with sun worshipper Gore instead of the 20 years of war the Bush Crime Syndicate gave us.
I’m not sure you can identify who is the lesser evil, especially when the neocons are involved.
Ron is a PUNK. He’s letting himself be played by the BUSH. GRIFFIN, KOCH. MURDOCH, ROWE,and all the never Trump establishment scum. He’s getting his butt rubbed and his head patted. He likes that. But little does he know he just ruined his political career. He can’t be governor again let alone president. Maybe Dog Catcher. WHAT A FOOL!!
He’s not being played. He stands for nothing, and is therefore a rapacious chameleon, the worst kind of politician.
Which makes him the perfect candidate (in the Cabal’s mind) to run for senate
Hey treepers and guests,
As one who has been “critical” of alot of the early criticism of RDS;
I appreciate the much more measured tone.
I still maintain a guy who has lived, by all accounts, a virtuous and accomplished life, who chooses to go into politics Should be measured on his actions, while in a position to govern, ahead of how he has to work the System of fundraising.
Should be given the benefit of the doubt that all support and donations, are to support a representative of the people, to use his judgements and beliefs to shape his public policy, rather than to beholden the will of the donors.
EVERYONE wants to jump on a winners bandwagon, and the “smart”money guys are no different.
That being said, trust but verify.
Doesn’t it seem like however, in this moment that to return to likely politics as usual…even with a guy like RDS, who may yet be a MAGA superstar.
Is very unappealing.
Doesn’t it feel like the last chapter of PDJT should have a chance to play out?
Lately the thought reoccurring;
Maybe it’s cosmically better at this time to RIDE with PDJT even if to LOSE another battle, “somehow”
(God forbid)
than win with anyone else?
☮️
He’s a damn lawyer funded by the swamp.
He was a JAG officer, most of which are pretty ineffective. He’s my Gov and I will vote for him if I am forced into it but by God, I hope Trump is the nominee; at least Trump is a fighter.
Are you for real? “..who may yet be a MAGA superstar”.
For your own safety stay well back from the medicine cabinet, you could be a danger to yourself!
Is Gregreyalan aka Pushaw?
Start over.
What are you trying to say?
That he’s a poorly scripted bot or troll?
If the money people just wanted to jump on the winner’s bandwagon, they would have jumped in with PDJT last time.
👍 👍 👆👆👆. What she said👆👆👆
This is simple Gregreyalan; No!
Nope..Decsumtantis is the worst.
He betrayed President Trump.
De Scumtantis could have stood shoulder to shoulder with President Trump.
But he chose to play in the swamp.
God bless PDJT
One of the goals, I think, is to make betrayal look cool…there have been others before RDS and there will be others after RDS
Boy will that build unity if you are right !!!
Effectively DeSantis begged Trump to endorse him because he was losing. Trump did and DeSantis has essentially done a ‘Romney’ to Trump.
“shoulder to shoulder”…
Nah, he’s so short he has to wear heels. 😉
Are you seriously responding like this after the abundance of proof that has been made available?
Your Ukrainian to English translation didn’t come out right
nope.
Politics is the art of getting money from the rich and votes from the poor, with the pretext of protecting one from the other. Who usually gets protected?
Sorry Greg…..I’m calling it a WIPEOUT! ….in more ways than one. (Greg will get it….) Shame the gang doesn’t get to read all those nasty replies.
The Republican Party has a big problem that the Democrats don’t have. Basically, the Republicans don’t have 75 to 80 million billionaires in the United States to vote for them! The Democrats can pander to their low-life base and give them everything they want because it’s your money and not the Democrats. On the other hand, the Republicans have to pretend to embrace the issues we need while at the same doing the opposite which is what their billionaire sponsors need. It’s really quite a conundrum for the RINOS and why they hate Donald Trump. There’s nothing that he does that they want done!
The Dems do not have the votes, either. Their votes are made up.
On the debate stage with DJT, that’s when the rubber meets the road. Re-tread Ron v Goodyear Don!
I think we all know Ron will be given the questions ahead of time, and with Murdoch funding Ron, Trump needs to refuse them as a debate platform.
If it does get that far, the event should be very entertaining.
RD tries to mimic PDJT’s hand gestures, that alone will be fun to watch 😉
Unless Trump acts like he did with Biden
That was a terrible debate
No, it was a terrible debate because the people asking the questions hate Trump.
He listened to advisors than going with his own feel, which keeps proving superior to all the political consultant hangers on.
Probably was coming down with covid at the time and felt crappy.
It was a terrible debate. The moderators and the candidates will focus all of their energy on Trump, particularly J6 and the election fraud they are still denying. These debates are about as honest as our elections. Preferred candidates will be fed softball questions and will get them in advance to rehearse a soundbite. Townhalls are just as phony too.
It is a heady experience to walk on to a stage and see/hear people screaming with delight.
Few people can go through that without coming away with a skewed version of themselves living in their heads.
Ron DeSanctimonious has bought into it, that is clear.
He does know that once he has defeated Trump in the primary (this, according to their blueprint) – ALL money, ALL attention, ALL support will be yanked away and the focus will be on “re-electing” Biden. The brainless blob we currently have occupying the People’s White House – because HE is controllable.
RD knows this, right?
How do you know that RDS is not controllable too?
He’s young, ambitious, with a family. He took their money.
Maybe they have another way of controlling him.
Agreed,
His eyes give him away…
It’s always in the eyes.
Cheers!
The eyes and the classic raised eyebrows. Every. Single. Time…
I am waiting for the human contact lenses to fall out exposing ron’s yellow eyes with vertical irises!
Sometime last year a piece was done on his wife as having very high ambitions.
Seems she might have reevaluayed them given the events of the last 7 years.
Great! Another Hillary.
Thank you Sundance for your very perceptive insight! You are right! I would for the most part think that DeSantis is alright, good governor, straight thinking, “inoffensive” towards anyone. The only thing that gave it away for me, watching and listening to the interview, was his take on the Ukraine affair, and the Russians. And putting that together with what you disclosed, about WHO is really funding him; its too easy to see through it now.
I thought the production itself was very well performed. Mr. Morgan was very friendly and made everyone feel comfortable; and Mr. DeSantis had a fairly free time to show his sparkling smile and great kid next door persona. Altogether, pretty entertaining! I think it will be quite effective for making the thunderin’ herds to have a Candidate they can feel comfortable with; who isn’t so “controversial.” All most people want to think about is their own little lives. So they stay away from politics and religion, except in the most socially neutral and inoffensive ways. They really think they are safe there, I guess.
“to have a Candidate they can feel comfortable with; who isn’t so controversial…
Whenever the word feel is used, I generally think Democrat.
I guess that means having a candidate who isn’t like the Donald J. Trump, one that the entire media turned against because he talked about the SWAMP, and the SWAMP is crowded.
In his book, the first book, I think, I remember reading about how he wasn’t ever liked by the Mayor of NYC. They actually had a stand off over the ice skating rink.
Trumped showed that he can be his own man. They hated him then and they hate him now. BUT, this country is going 3rd world at such a fast pace it makes my head spin.
Ron DeSantis is their tool and I am very disappointed to find out that he is just another money seeking politician who will do whatever it takes to find favor with the filthy billionaires who want to destroy our way of life. OR, , do they just want a man who will keep most of our country working and not show a Totalitarian side?
We are done, well done, and the people who cast votes in vain are smarter now that we ever were before. We see and feel every pain that Obama and Biden have heaped upon us. We don’t want anyone who doesn’t put the people first.
Listen to the drum roll.
DeSatan is a repugnant clown.
In any normal time most of us would probably be quite happy with RDS as our winning candidate except for one thing…we’ve seen the best, we’ve seen greatness in a President and RDS, you’re no Donald John Trump.
Well said, Scarlett. And regarding RDS, “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” — Rhett!
Laura Loomer
@LauraLoomer
.
@GovRonDeSantis
has never been a likable person to me. And after seeing the
@piersmorgan
interview, he’s even more unlikable & scripted.
Softball questions from a foreigner to interfere in the 2024 election.
Remember when Piers maliciously lied about his interview w/ Trump?
Cont…
He’s also apparently a liar. The ‘I am better with regular people’ is political schtick, not Truth, when 94% of his $ comes from the moneyed class. Say what?
And he’s another Harvard lawyer! I mean, Lucy and the football, anybody? How many times do we need to fall flat on our back with these deceivers?
Team DeSantis is still in clean-up aisle. Now they are pushing his interview with Eric Bolling trying to clean up his prior Ukraine mess.
***
Third position shift in as many days.
And just like the fireplace in the background, there is no fire.
I understand that New Hampshire is one of the states RDS will be visiting on his book tour.
IMHO, New Hampshire has long been an important link in the Bush Dynasty planning for winning elections. It is my theory – and I won’t call it a conspiracy theory because I don’t know if anyone else is in on this theory and I believe you have to have more than two or more people for a conspiracy theory – but it’s been my observation that the Bush Family – namely, George H. W. Bush and wife Barbara Bush – started the Franklin Pierce College in New Hampshire, back in 1964 to create the infrastructure for New Hampshire campaigning.
Franklin Pierce, the 14th President, was in Barbara’s family tree so I guess you could think they were doing something nice to honor this member of the family who became a President. Later on, it became Franklin Pierce University.
Watching Bush 41 operate over the years and how important we always heard New Hampshire was and is, I wondered if the Bushes actually set up Franklin Pierce College in order to have a place where they could conduct a ground game like no other – they would have rooms/spaces/equipment – the infrastructure for a successful campaign set-up to just be part of the landscape.
The Bushes could have on ongoing year-round ground game, laying groundwork, increasing name recognition, making friends.
It was in New Hampshire during the 1980 campaign that Ronald Reagan actually pushed for and paid for a debate and he did not want it to be just between him and George Bush but to include the other Republican candidates. That was the debate where Reagan’s microphone was cut and Reagan told them to turn back on his microphone, that he paid for it.
I see that the Press Secretary for George Bush – Marlin Fitzwater – was rewarded for his service with a special building with his name (not actually the institute for marine biology but I always thought that would be more suitable with a name like “Marlin Fitzwater”).
So as we watch Ron De Santis given the grand tour in New Hampshire, I wonder if that will include a visit to Franklin Pierce University, perhaps personally escorted by Jeb Bush.
Thinking of Jeb, I was reminded of when he said after the primaries in 2016 that now he was going to be able to do some cool things, although he did not specify what those cool things would be.
In anticipation that we may be seeing a lot more of Jeb Bush in the coming months, I thought I would post this from February 2016:
Jeb, now you will not get that job in the White House – you can really finally relax and go do some of those cool things.
Here are some suggestions:
1. help Columba brush up on her English
2. enroll in a yoga class to improve your posture
3. go skydiving with your Dad
4. become a lobster fisherman in Maine
So, I lived in Southern NH for 13 years and was an active volunteer during all three Buchanan campaigns and while I had not heard that SueJeanne about Bush and Franklin Pierce College, it is an interesting theory. The Bush’s owned the party infrastructure, to be sure.
Piers Morgan? How is this discredited turd still in front of a camera?
Same reason Brett Baier is…he is in on it…
Discredited over what exactly?
Personally, I am waiting for DeSantis’ first opinion on January 6.
We need to hear it.
silence is an opinion
“I actually am glad to see some of these people being arrested from the DC thing, because I think the prosecutions will really make a difference. I think it was a really unfortunate thing,”” Ron DeSantis stated.

If I had not stumbled into CTH, I would be totally lost. Thanks be to God for sending me to CTH. God Bless Sundance! Namaste MAGA 🙏🏻🙏🏻👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸
I second that !!!!!!
It is like a blanket on a cold night.
Hey Ron, as an outsider, embrace Donald as the next US president or face the everlasting wrath of a very displeased Republican (American) voter that will decide your future if you chase your dreams too early. Trump made you but he can also break you. I don’t think the fraudulent elections in the past from the Democrats will get you there. They can only do so much untill it’s found out and jailed. It will be glorious when Donald calls you out as another Rino when he is President again. Or have you been bought already.
I thought the “run and resign” legislation had been dumped but apparently he is going to change it this session. Hence no announcement. Any more info?
Two uses for the RDS camp from this scripted interview:
1. Triage for his hemorrhaging base… this retells them why they “just love Ron DeSantis!”
2. Video clips for the fanboi media and the establishment to push out to the undecided to tell them, “this is why you’ll love TopGuv!”
Early next week the GOPe will be able to show results of some weekend poll that RDS is back and closing the lead!
The message is meaningless without the messenger. This messenger is entirely a real-life deep fake. Sorry, Ron. You don’t have any credibility and nothing coming out from your mouth means anything.
I really ‘want’ to like him but… not no, but hell no!
Ron DeShutdown, if Russia is a gas station, then FL is a beach bar.
What a tabloid like interview, dull subject tried to be sexied up.
Ron pick up some fruit for the beach bar.

Trump 2024.
Did Team DeSantis actually give Piers the questions to ask Ron?
The whole thing was likely scripted by Fox and DeSanctimonious and his team. Questions and answers.
I miss the impromptu chopper presses from Trump. He really shined.
Ronda is your typical opportunist politician with no real ideology of his own, sees which way the wind blows, if people (meaning his sponsors) don’t like the answer he flipflops the next day. He is very Uniparty. They may as well ask him “Which flavor of the SAME are you?”
I live in Florida and DeSantis is great. So is Trump.
If the Marxists finally come up with a way to take out Trump they will turn on DeSantis next. It’s the way they are.
why would they take out DeSantis when he will roll whichever way they tell him to?
The media would turn on DeSantis in the general election to favor Newsom.
If DeSantis is so great then why is he taking all the globalist corporate money?
Serious question because if he was good for Americans, he would understand what these corporate Titans are doing to this country by pushing this globalist agenda that is destroying middle class jobs in this country.
Anybody who has the endorsements of Jeb Bush and Paul Ryan is not “great.”
When I look at DeSantis now all I see is an empty suit who couldn’t beat a slimy queer crack addict without the assistance from President Trump. I’m beginning to think that he only pushed through the very useful and important laws in Florida to deceive voters for the ultimate race. I don’t believe he is a man of conviction. If he was, he would support Trump, remain in his state, and solidify his reforms, then move on to the presidency in ‘28. Instead, he’s leaving Florida to who knows what, attacking Trump, and taking orders from the uni-party traitors.
Well said !!!!
Sundance’s post Returning to Neocon Roots – DeSantis Backtracks on His Tucker Carlson Ukraine Position as Territorial Dispute, Now Says “I think it’s been mischaracterized,” and “Putin is a war criminal” is one of Lucianne’s Must Reads today.

no thank you
Well, well…
Are we getting a better feel for who DeSantis is in fact?
If eyebrows aren’t raised already, this should do it.

Wow, DeSantis is trying to avoid sunlight.
…and and the rest.
Yet another in the long line of BS artists.
Looks like Hurricane Ron’s been downgraded to a low pressure weather system.
If DeSantis was the MAGA candidate that his GOPE handlers want us to believe, then Piers Morgan wouldn’t have given him this tongue bath of an interview.
I didn’t like DeSantis’s statement that he had what it takes (to be a leader) and that he could beat FJB.
Yeah? Trump ALSO beat FJB, but couldn’t overcome the efforts of UniParty to cheat him out of the election result. What makes DeSantis think that he has it (the prize of potus) in the bag?
There will be no votes for Ronnie D. from this good ol’ boy! He’s just another JEB! wannabe. He has no path to the White House, can’t he see?
DeSantis is on a McConnell leash. That’s all you really need to know.
Ron DeSantis is 100% astroturf.
Looks great. Completely fake.
I heard a rumor that the DeepState promised him he wouldn’t have to actually campaign against PDJT.
Given his delay in announcing (officially), & the recent timing of the supposed “indictment”… I’d say it makes total sense.
RD knew what they were planning to do all along. Somebody has been making deals with the devil.
There’s something about his voice and also his face that is so unappealing to me. I realize that’s very subjective but I don’t think I’m the only one who sees him that way-ALSO Steve Bannon has now called him a weasel and then a punk! Having the Warroomposse against him is the kiss of death in my opinion. He is and will always be a scripted sanctimonious prick!
I’m ALL in for President Trump 3 time!! Ron has stuck his toe into Soros’ web and if he admits or says he’s not funded by Soros he will lose. Americans are very wise and very educated about behind closed doors activities going on. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS MY VOTE👍♥️♥️♥️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Driving around parts of “Real Florida” there are many places that still have 2016 and 2020 signs up In people’s yards for PDJT and they will not be replaced.
DeSantis is politically DOA. The people who have been chasing trump for all these years will chew him up and spit him out. We are in the midst of a crisis. Freedom as we know it is on the ballot. There is no other option than Trump.
Trump said that they are coming for us and he is just in the way.
The deep state is coming for us and DeSantis is just their puppet.
Retired Magistrate here: It is really pretty simple: Ron the Con is bought and paid for and will tell people what his handlers tell him to say. He has no loyalty to the person who helped get him where he is-President Trump-and obviously to the people of Florida. Charlie Crist stated that if DeSantis got re elected he would immediately run for President and that is exactly what he has done-albeit under the radar. DeSantis just threw over the people of Florida, they were just a stepping stone.
I watched an interview of Governor DeSantis on Newsmax last night. He was as slippery as an eel when it came to President Trump and MAGA.
When asked if he would accept the VP slot on a Trump ticket he was evasive and finally stated he would rather stay governor where he can make executive decisions. If he was clever, he might have answered that was impossible because they both live in the same state, and the constitution states both the President and VP can’t be from the same state.
He wouldn’t even mention President Trump, which is probably a condition on receiving the cash from the ruling class and Republican establishment machine.
My impression was that he is not genuine, and as noted by SD, the facts prove it. The Republican establishment pay a long game and they were setting up someone to replace President Trump since November 2016. They found their man.
Holy moly, watched the entire video. Two hhings struck me; Leavemygunsalone he actually said at one point, “I’m a data guy”….lol
Secondly I noticed his complete lack of humility. President Trump is a blue collar man at heart who “pretends” he’s a billionaire. Desantis is billionaire donar class who pretends to be blue collar. The reason hush money payouts to porn stars are not in his wheelhouse is because he has such a raging hard on for himself and only himself.
Yale Secret Society. That does enough for me.
I wonder if he has been to Bilderberg? Bill Clinton + Margarette Thatcher got their legs up there.
Please clap.
When will Mitt sneak in to come to the Republican rescue?
He is a true presidential candidate with experience in running and loosing and putting democrats in office.
Mitt is content to cheerlead for Ron D
Maybe Ron will choose Jeb as his VP . . . but probably not, right, as they both live in Florida and usually the VP is from another state with lots of electoral votes?
Mitt can cheerlead from Hell.
At this very moment he’s being fitted for a special pair of magic undies getting ready …
Take a dive Mitt. Here he comes to ruin the day, flighty Mitt is on his way!
Are you talking about Mitt or about DeSanctimonious – or BOTH!!!
Mitt Romney is known Nationwide as a backstabbing traitor, and the lowest of low filthy scum. I don`t see anyone on either side of the isle so delirious, and out of their mind that they could even imagine Mitt Romney as anything other than what he is….a backstabbing, two-faced loser, with ZERO hope of ever being anything more than he is right now.
If I ever say “Mitt Romney” around here, my Mom gives me a certain look, and then she says, “Who?” which is my cue to say, “oops, I beg your pardon, Pierre Delecto”.
Pierre is horrible … but JUDASpence is worse.
LOL! That is still just SOOO PerRRRfect for him.
It was revealed earlier this year that Romney played a role behind the scenes in helping President Joe Biden get elected, according to a new book.
Romney, who then-President-elect Donald Trump passed over for secretary of state, spoke on the phone to Biden in 2018 and reportedly pressed him to run for president in 2020 to get Trump out of the White House.
“You have to run,” New York Magazine national correspondent Gabriel Debenedetti quoted Romney as saying to Biden, an exchange that is contained in Debenedetti’s upcoming book.
So, is that a way of saying Mitt is the perfect running mate for the NEW #1 BACKSTABBER, DeSanctimonious????
He’s a loser alright. Shades of McCain, Jeff Flake, Paul Ryan, McConnell and the rest of the neo-con Trotskyite Republicans. Disgusting.
Yes, and DeSantis is so establishment that Jebby Bush is backing him. Another Bush boy.
