...”The GOPe doesn’t quite realize, Donald J Trump isn’t the cause of their failure; he is the result of their failure”…
Before getting to the latest developments regarding the worries of the mid-tier donor class within the Republican apparatus, I want to provide some context for the overall Ron DeSantis (RdS) management agenda.
I can trace the origin of the RdS 2024 scheme to an originating timeframe in late fall 2021. It may go back further than that, but it is at least in place by the late fall of 2021. That means that everything within the professional Republican apparatus, those who manipulate the political events from the controlling wing of the Republican side of the UniParty, had RdS ’24 as the agenda throughout the 2022 midterm calendar.
With that context, the events around the 2022 midterms and the surprising lack of professional Republican gains in the midterm election, start to take on an entirely new Machiavellian light. Not necessarily the RNC corporation; rather, the subsidiary weaponized groups including the Republican Governors Association and the Senate reelection schemes spearheaded by Mitch McConnell et al. In hindsight, those were all done with the context of laying the groundwork for ’22 MAGA defeat and ’24 RdS rise as an outcome.
Throughout the first half of 2022, I was saying there’s no way the GOPe wing would be this stupid. This was based primarily by my own filter saying there had to be a limit to what they think they can pull off.
The Wall St, K-Street, multinational and billionaire funding into RdS during the spring of 2022 was massive, but I held a primary prism that RdS himself had to be smart enough to know it was a suicide mission. However, with the events that unfolded in July and August of 2022, it became obvious that RdS was going all-in on a management program for a 2024 bid.
Perhaps taken in by the intoxicating allure of money, perhaps it didn’t take much convincing, I don’t know. But it was clear the ’24 race was the pretext for everything happening in/around the RdS orbit, including the 5-days in the bunker after the Mar-a-Lago raid and the rebranding national image launch thereafter.
We all know the GOPe operational motive for removing MAGA from the base of influence; it no longer needs to be repeated.
Quite simply the America First agenda puts *their* money at stake, and collectively that amounts to trillions of dollars in multinational globalist financial control. The scale of the money behind the MAGA opposition is really the biggest challenge; it is almost unfathomable, and that scale is represented within the size of the war chest they assembled for RdS.
The top of this financial pyramid holds a grip on political power that is threatened by the worldview, outlook and economic nationalist policy of Donald Trump. The top this system will not ‘lose’ with America-First Trump, they will only gain at a slower rate. This group will not leave their throne, they only see a slower assembling within their vaults.
The Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street and WEF crews will follow the policy and invest in America, they will just hate doing it. They will hate the best-play of slower gains because the returns are not as lucrative, expedient or fraught with the simple indulgences of their custom.
However, underneath that top-tier, there are many layers of vested financial interests at lesser but more generational risk. The Cornwallis crowd will see a much more difficult time with America-First in place advancing their affluence and influence. Loss for them changes things. This is the group being discussed by the NBC article.
Remember, ultimately despite the power dynamic, they are few – the MAGA army is many. It is within these mid-tier donor groups we now see worry about whether RdS can fulfill his assignment as protector of the realm.
WASHINGTON (NBC) – A number of the Florida governor’s donors and allies are worried his recent stumbles suggest he may not be ready for a brutal fight against Donald Trump. Some feel DeSantis needs to accelerate his timeline to run for the GOP presidential nomination and begin directly confronting Trump if he’s to have any chance of thwarting the former president’s momentum. Others believe DeSantis should sidestep Trump altogether and wait until 2028 to run.
At a Sunday luncheon following the annual Red Cross ball in Palm Beach, Florida, a group of 16 prominent Republicans, described by one attendee as a mix of DeSantis backers and Trump “skeptics,” discussed misgivings about the governor’s standing for the future if he tussles with the former president.
“They liked him — many of them might even support him,” the person who was at the event said of DeSantis. “But they thought on balance that his long-term future was better without him trying to take Trump head on.”
“He will get scarred up” by Trump, the person added.
Then there’s conservative billionaire shipping goods magnate Richard Uihlein and his wife, Elizabeth, whose $500,000 in combined contributions ranked them among the most generous donors to DeSantis’ 2022 re-election campaign. A person familiar with the strategy around Uihlein’s spending said that right now, “The brakes are pumped,” adding, “The polling really made different people pause.”
[…] A GOP strategist who has spoken directly with donors in Palm Beach said that this is a week that should be good for DeSantis, considering his chief rival for the nomination could be indicted any day now. And the fact that it’s been so tough for the governor has given some donors pause.
“DeSantis is doing a book tour. He’s barnstorming the country, and his polls are going down,” the strategist said. “Meanwhile, Trump’s potentially under indictment, and Trump’s going up. It’s just not a good look for DeSantis.”
This person added that donors who have given to DeSantis over the past year or two are still open to supporting him for president, but they’re also starting to take a look at other potential candidates like Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., as DeSantis has “fumbled” big moments. (read more)
The problem for the DeSantis management team is the running for office while pretending not to run. However, if RdS were to announce his intent, he would need to resign from the role of Florida Governor due to the “resign to run” rule. Conversely, if RdS asks the Florida legislature to change the rule, it becomes essentially an admission of his intent. It’s the same thing…. So, this annoying pretending -which is obvious- is starting to really annoy voters even more.
As I think back to my own viewpoint in early 2022, I have completely changed my opinion on Ron DeSantis as a smart politician. He is not as smart as I was giving him credit for. In fact, this entire RdS 2024 operation simply affirms they really are that stupid. Desperate and stupid.
Sundance, wait until they trot out the Mrs…and they will when the time is right. Link to the full headline in the article below.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11595745/Ron-DeSantis-wife-Casey-channels-Jackie-Kennedy-husbands-inauguration.html
Koch Industries is the kiss of death. PDJT should hammer him non stop.
I’m not sure ‘stupid’ is the right word. The staggeringly cynical Republican intent is to set a ’24 election loss to the Democrats in concrete. If DeSantis somehow ended up in a position to win, they would torpedo him.
He’s their guy. They bought him and would love to have presidential power through him.
But they know he can’t win. They only want to torpedo PDJT and the entire
america First movement.
“and the entire america First movement.” (AKA) tea party 2!
Last week got a glimpse of one of the stories already being set in motion for RDs’ torpedo hit, some news commentator said, and I have no idea if it’s true or not, but they said that Mr. DeSantis was one of the Gitmo lawyers who participated in waterboarding.
That’s the kind of story the press will use regardless if true or not.
Mr. Meatball has no idea what’s about to hit him if he announces his run, especially since the Florida legislature sure hasn’t repealed that law that will force him to resign as Governor in order to run for higher office.
Forced- feeding
The articles are being set in motion alright. “Greater scrutiny…” DeSantis oversaw force feeding at Gitmo…
Team Meatball is soft weak sauce who get very prickly when DeceptiRon gets the slightest bit of criticism.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/ron-desantis-guantanamo-torture-b2304660.html
https://www.floridabulldog.org/2023/03/second-ex-guantanamo-detainee-says-ron-desantis-at-brutal-forced-feedings/
Apparently the force feeding included sticking hosepipes ar full blast up their rear ends, which sound incredibly messy. he’s certainly going to get a mauling from the left wing media for that.
There may have been explosions! 🤪
His defense will be:
Better to keep ‘em alive !
-Imagine the headlines
if they died.
Water boarding was such a political tool; preceding “racist”.
All of that was torture, which is why the remaining prisoners cannot go to trial. It would reveal the horrible things that the US government did. I’m old enough to remember when the US was always the good guys who didn’t do the vile things that our enemies did. I’m over that now.
I think that kind of thing has been going on for longer than we realize (mainly from back in the day when our criminal government was messing around in South and Central America)–it was just kept hidden from us. I think training in such techniques were done at the School of Americas (which I think has been renamed):
https://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/SOA/SOA_TortureManuals.html
There are stories of horrific torture going on under people who went through the School of Americas (can’t remember the names off hand, it’s been years since I looked into all of this).
yup
Like I said, a political tool: America bad.
Bill passed in Florida to shield DeSantis travel
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/03/new-florida-bill-seeks-to-shield-ron-desantis-travel-records/
Snakes and weasels, all of them.
Typically the weasels would eat the snakes..
Well then….it’s time to say Good Bye to little Ron!
You had such a chance – and blew it all up.
Good riddance!
Desantis always looks like he is stoned on Gorilla Glue number 4.
I don’t think the GOPe is trying to elect RdS. They are trying to NOT elect Donald Trump. I think they want to split the Republican Base so Trump can’t win the general election. RdS is only there to beat Trump.
I believe they don’t want to repeat 2020 – they had to cash in a lot of chips and call in all their favors to make it happen and I don’t think they can, or want to, do it again. They have paid a price for cheating (the need to control is a reaction to fear), even though that is not so obvious to our side. So they are trying the splitter strategy to avoid obvious cheating.
DeSantis is nothing more than a tool being used by the Uniparty. His sole purpose is to serve as a splitter candidate in ’24. The Uniparty has no expectation of his victory, that is not their goal. They all know it, we all know it, and if DeSantis doesn’t know it, then yes he is ignorant of his own role.
“DeSantis is nothing more than a tool….<snip>”
DeSantis is their perfect “multi-purpose” tool. First and foremost is to get in the way of Trump. If that turns out to be successful then it’s on to the general election and whatever the democrat wing offers. My gut feeling is that the democrat wing is wishing for a Desantis win in the primary. That would end the pressure to continue with the Biden charade. Democrats can sit back and let their mental mush sink quietly into oblivion knowing full well that the new republican administration is locked up and under complete control by the D.C. insider gang. Win-win situation for everybody…..everybody inside the D.C. circle, that is. A total loss for we the people.
A big problem he has: he doesn’t radiate strength and presence. Both are innate qualities that Trump has. People look for strength in a leader. And when the leader shows up in a room, you feel his presence.
There’s something about being the marionette at the end of the strings that just doesn’t scream, “decisive leadership.”
Let’s see Rhonda try to compete with this –
A critical time in American history across a range of issues social, political, economic, international, and we are going to turn to Tim Scott to lead us. It is ridiculous on its face.
He’s an even more obvious puppet than Rhonda is.
saaaaaaaaaad as tim scott changed since 2012 Tea party candidate…shame on him….$$$$$$$$$$$$
This is not difficult to comprehend……..Ron Desantis is a Lawyer…A career Politician Lawyer…..Never, ever under any circumstance vote for a Lawyer to hold Public Office…Not that voting matters….
Can any of you guys name a Politician Lawyer in the House or Senate you like or respect and who’s Authentic/Honorable and stands up for the Constitution/Bill of Rights??? You can’t
Almost 50% of Congress are Lawyers not to mention the Installed President and VP….Think about that….How can you have a Representative Republic when half of our elected officials are Lawyers??? You can’t…..The problem is obvious…
The problem is obvious…and the solution is obvious too. Just look what happened when we elected a businessman who understood the complexities and responsibilities of meeting a payroll each week.
And what about that time many years ago when we elected a guy with a degree in economics from Eureka College?
There was a time when the nickel chasing shysters were banned from government and the judicial bench.
Now they are the reason for the corruption from top to bottom and their “Pledge” to the
British
Accreditation
Registry
Comes first and any lawyer will deny their pledge to it.
Ron Johnson
I think RDS has lost momentum, and he won’t get it back. It’s like in a football game how when one team pulls ahead it starts to seem like everything goes their way – every call, ball bounce, etc. Conversely the other team can’t do anything right or get a break.
Ron is now the losing team – get ready for the GOPe to start pushing Scott and some heretofore unannounced candidates. Scott is a no go as he’s not a very good speaker and his biggest concern is police reform – a Democrat talking point.
DeSantis is imploding in his own hubris.
IMO Ron DeSantis is not running to win the Presidency. He is running to destroy MAGA as an effective force within the Republican Party. With upwards of 70% of the mail-in ballots ‘voting’ solidly ‘D’, and up to half of the ballots being ‘mailed’ in, not to mention other cheating mechanisms in place, there is little to no possibility of him winning the Presidency under present circumstances, even if the Democrats anoint Hitler as their candidate. A defeat by the pseudo-Magaist in 2024 will be used as a basis for him to run in 2028 as a full blown GOPe, because MAGA will have ‘provably’ failed as a political movemet. And if he loses in 2028, so what? He’ll still have his millions in campaign contributions and ‘other’ contributions as a reward for his kamikaze effort(s). Others above have said much the same thing.
Alternately, he is trying to use MAGA and the GOPe to advance his own personal agenda, and will turn on one or both should he actually win the Presidency. The infamous bill that would have required bloggers to register with the state is IMO a good indicator of his personal attitude towards critics.
A. Threats to indict Trump only make him more popular. Since you can only slice the pie so many ways, inevitably Trump’s ascent drives RDS’s descent in the polls.
B. The inescapable truth that the donor class is beginning to realize is that indictment will make Trump even more popular. It is not at all clear that conviction would break Trump’s momentum. I shall leave it to lawyers commenting here to explain whether or not it would disbar him.
C. Trump will easily win the nomination. You will see the handwriting on the wall when no one steps up to be the sacrificial lamb in the VP slot.
D. Democratic cheating will continue in tandem with the Republicans sitting on their hands. Note carefully that in the Senate there are not many Republican seats up. It’s the class of 2018 that will be on the firing line.
E. Trump will suffer a massive defeat at the hands of the Democratic candidate, some guy with the weird name of Mickey Mouse. a truly one-dimensional candidate.
F. Will the donor class be able to save the slim Republican majority in the House while sitting on their hands up ballot?
Conclusion: never mistake wealth for intellect. In my very professional judgment, the donor class collectively exhibits no sense of historical understanding. If they had any, they would be frightened to death of a continuing far-left control of the presidency backed by an equally far-left administrative state. Once Thomas and Alito are gone, the peaceful takeover of America by the Marxists will be complete– and guess what has happened throughout history to the men and women of the donor class once the coup is well and truly complete/
Alito and Thomas do not have the power people think they do.
They all sat on their hands and allowed the steal, with no challenge. No standing, my arse.
That in itself is patently obvious.
You are wrong. Alito, Thomas and I think Gorsuch wanted to take up Texas v. Pennsylvania but the SCOTUS needs 4 justices to agree to take a case. Roberts is the one who came up with the “no standing” crap.
The billionaire class will be okay no matter what. But millionaires, not so much. And their minions that are getting high on their ascending careers – they’ll be the first to be discarded.
Very astute. And wealth v intellect is spot on. For some reason these billionaires think as their bank accounts increase so do their IQs, when evidence would suggest they’re actually inversely proportional.
As I have learned from my own political adventures of more than 35 years and working on many campaigns, local through federal, in big ways and small ways, the “stealth campaign maneuver” is the same as a gal telling her loved ones “Well, I might be a little bit pregnant…..”
It always fails. Every. Single. Time.
Either you are running for a political office or you are not; there is no middle ground.
Remember the “middle of the road” theory; you always get run over.
DeSantis is finished politically.
P.E.R.I.O.D.
Now, let’s work to MAGA!
I think it was a former Texas congressman and/or senator (Phil Gramm?) who said something to the effect of “The only things one will find in the middle of the road are yellow lines and dead armadillos.”
He Is!
To give Trillions of dollars context and I know one can scale this, but if you paid a dollar a second, it would take over 32 thousand years to pay back just the principle on one trillion. It’s beyond sinister how these amounts that are spent, on our countries(meaning our)credit, are treated so cavalierly….just flat out evil.
Professional politicians and the consultant-class of grifter-types that hustle professional politicians–neither group makes their living in any kind of real-world employment. They don’t produce anything but what? Legislation? Regulation? Taxpayer supported subsidies? With rare exception, professional politicians and their consultants are a blight and burden in the conduct of normal, everyday life.
OTOH, President DJT has a lifetime of real world experience that most politicians and their consultants cannot imagine, let alone understand. DJT connects because he’s coming from a world of genuine, productive experience: hands-on, down-and-dirty, dealing with extremely difficult people, and getting it done.
The outstanding difference between President Trump and RdS is the difference that producing real results in the real world makes in a man’s character. All the carefully planned headline making moves De Santis throws down can be undone in the first hour of the first day a new governor takes office. Trump builds stuff that would take a whole lot longer than one day to dismantle. Building real stuff in the real world is what builds character. Professional politicians don’t build nuthin’ worth saving…and the character most of them display in their daily public life proves that it is a fact.
Love.It.
I would bet the people behind RD are the same who were behind the Pence/Ryan 2016 who were trying to punch PDJT out.
And before that in 1996 behind loser Bob Dole and against Buchanan & the Make America First Again movement.
The main GOPe:
Council On Foreign Relations
As I commented on another site, I can’t remember the last time Ron DeSantis actually said “America First” or “MAGA”, let alone referring to president Donald Trump by name. ===> If anybody can find that out, much appreciated here.
I think that time frame is when Ron DeSantis started taking advice from the “GOP consultants and strategists”, the time he showed his potus ambition, and quite possibly the same time he raked in $$$$$ of money.
In other words, Ron DeSantis could be bought, just like your typical lawyer-turned-politician. Personal conviction and principles can be tossed aside, however,
there are still tons of people (some I respect their views) who refuse to see clearly and still on the DeSantis side (their reasoning is that Trump being too old and too bombastic, his style of name-calling opponents won’t work this time).
I love President Trump’s name calling. I love his cringe attacks. Why? He’s fighting for me, despite the fact I have no voice in the world. For my vote so he can make my life better. I don’t deserve so much respect, but I thank President Trump for it.
Thank God that Trump is actually a fighter. I’m sick of staid, proper, establishment Republicans who have never stood for their voters.
He caved to the Evil pos at Disney and gave back their tax exemption too.
RD and any politician who has served (Cotton and Kinzinger and Crenshaw and many others) in the military has shown us what the Oath they swore means to them.
Ron DeSantis is about 2 steps ahead of Nikki Haley. That said, where is Nikki Haley? Look at Nikki run.
Anyone STILL think deranged desantis is anything but another bought/paid for rino?
“DeSantis is doing a book tour. He’s barnstorming the country, and his polls are going down,” the strategist said. “Meanwhile, Trump’s potentially under indictment, and Trump’s going up.”
Translation? The Matrix is slowly, but inexorably, losing their grip on reality.
It’s a beautiful thing to see.
MAGA!!!
~EM
More red pills, please.
There will not be a Republican President in 2025. 2020 hasnt been fixed and apparently the only one interested in doing so is Mike Lindell. The rest of the Garbage Party wont even talk about.
Just asking
Has catturd2 got over his love affair with Chef Boy RD?
I don’t do Twitter for some time now and found truth social to be lame but was blocked by this guy over Chef Boy RD
Chef Boy RD! Gotta start using that! I heard Beefaroni is popular in the ‘hood.
I don’t know where you got that catturd2 was for DeSantis. I don’t know what the past history is, but he has come out very clearly and in several comments that he is 100% Trump.
Perhaps he has wised up to Chef Boy RD running for president against President Trump but at one time he would not listen to anything derogatory about RDS. Even disputing with Sundance and fellows and followers on Twatter.
He lives in Florida and has mentioned in the past that he loves his governor as a governor. Catturd2 is all MAGA for PTrunp 2024.
Catturd ™
@catturd2
LOL – I believe we all realize that ship has sailed.
Ron DeSantis Says He’s Not Interested In Being Trump’s VP Pick, “I’m An Executive Guy” | The Gateway Pundit
Wow, that big ego of his is spilling out of his big mouth.
I used to think the only way forward was to blindly support Republicans in their effort to defeat the commie Democrats. That was a long time ago. I now know that the first step to freedom is to DESTROY the Republican party…BURN IT TO THE GROUND! I will NEVER support the Republican party EVER! If they don’t put up someone I can support it’s third party or BUST…SCREW YOU RINO FILTH….I HATE YOU WORSE THEN THE FILTHY COMMIES.
Tim Scott!!! Whoa. He’s only one step up from Joe Biden. It’s hard for me to imagine Little Timmy getting more than a handful of votes, although he will be supported by murkowski, collins, romney and the like.
So true. DeSantis has proven himself to be nothing more than an over-priced empty suit.
You can’t fake authenticity. That’s what separates Trump from the rest.
I am voting for Trump because I would like to see righteous payback visited upon any and all deep staters. When they attacked `trump, I took it personal. They poked the bear and I hope to see devastation across the liberal political landscape
Ron DeepStateis – a hard pass, in my house.
Too bad “they” (Rino Uniparty elites) weren’t into hard work. 100% backing Trump and dumping the globalism outlook would rise all ships. If Ron came onboard the Trump train (he’s obviously told what policies to push by advisers), 2024 Tump and 2028, 2032 Ron would lead to greatness and resurgence of American industry – and guess what, the donors would all be filthy rich due to the booming economy, Ron would still get to be president, the rest of the world could still prosper and there’d be no wars.
But, I guess they prefer conniving, secret plans, lying, wasting time brokering deals in the back room. All the donor class Rino Uniparty types have to do is put their energy into supporting the base and doing the exact opposite of the dems 🤷♂️
I suppose we can assume that the middle rank and RINO types were in on the attempt to indict as well then. Everything is co-ordinated. Waiting to see what James O’Keefe has on the subject as he alluded there was something in the can.
God help you if Paul Ryan is your last straw.
Desperate, yes, but only RdS has been that stupid. Falling in with wolves while still a sheep, did he think their support was more than the twinkling in their eye that he was the answer to MAGA? The obsession to replace Trump on the part of the establishment has money enough to throw away in many exploratory directions, but they can read the tea leaves–because they’re not as stupid as they are desperate. Once their desperation meets reality, it apparently changes course– leaving DeSantis and his followers by the wayside. Fortunately for RdS, he’s still in a position to get smarter (starting by reading TCH) and realize he’s been as loved as a prostitute is loved, change course, devote himself again to his state and possibly salvage 2028, especially if he puts a bag over his head and jumps back on the MAGA train. There’s some people he has to fire first, starting with his handlers. And if Lady DeSantis has a role here in the “I could replace Melania!” category, get the right head thinking again.
That ship has sailed. DeSantis was never America First. When in Congress, DeSantis voted for TPP and for fasttrack authority for Obama to pass it.
DeSantis has shown that his values are for sale to the highest bidder. One of his top donors, Ken Griffin (Citadel) said in an interiew (Sundance post) that he expects DeSantis to get rid of the populist movement (MAGA). DeSantis took Griffin’s money, so he agreed to Griffin’s terms –to become the MAGA killer.
The answer is not to try to reform a snake into a trusting leader of MAGA in 2028 or ever.

Who is waiting in the wings behind Gov. DeSantis? Like Gov. Hochul was NY Lt Gov behind Gov. Cuomo:
Florida Lt Gov Jeannette Nunez:
https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/politics/fl-reg-nunez-gov-pick-20180905-story.html
https://secondnexus.com/jeanette-nunez-trump-tweet-con
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanette_Nu%C3%B1ez
“Her first job after completing her undergraduate studies was as an aide to State Senator Alex Diaz de la Portilla.[4] Nuñez later entered the health care industry, working as the vice-president of government affairs at Jackson Health System. Nuñez also worked for Florida International University as an adjunct professor and advisor. She also served as the vice-president of external affairs at Kendall Regional Medical Center and Aventura Hospital & Medical Center, until becoming the lieutenant governor of Florida.”
A #NeverTrumper. And Big Medical/Big Pharma. Behind compulsory jabs of experimental potions in their employees. Refusal to report severe injuries and demonstrated hostility towards all medical professionals who report vaccine adverse events. Disciplining and revoking hospital privileges of medical professionals who exercise their first amendment rights, duties and obligations to their patients about their medical treatment and care. Forcing patients, even patients with respiratory ailments to wear dangerous and ineffective petri dish cloths across their faces that restrict healthy and necessary breathing functions. That refused please from parents to write mask exemption letters for students trying to opt-out of school mandates. That provide “gender affirming” genital mutilation on mentally ill children at all, much less without parental notification – in other states without objection and would in Florida, too, if not for DeSantis’s directives. That interfere with the doctor-patient relationship forcing one-size-fits-all treatment and care directed by lawyers and DEI social justice warrior medical administrators practicing pseudoscience social reengineering through the health system. That system. That Florida Lt. Governor Jeannette Nunez represents and is beholden to.
Armed with Florida’s draconian health emergency powers, like forced quarantine camps and forced jabs that Gov. DeSantis hasn’t gotten around to eliminating from the most authoritarian powers available to any governor in the nation since they were first passed under Gov. Jeb! Bush in the early 2000’s following 9-11. Powers the literal, actual, arrested and charged crack whore he barely defeated in 2018 would’ve had – and used – in 2020 if 30,000 votes out of 8 million cast would’ve gone the other way.
Do you trust Big Medical, Big Pharma lackey Jeannette Nunez with those powers? All R’s are not cut from the same freedom and liberty cloth. DeWine. Hogan. And many others around the nation who followed the Cuomo, Newsome and Whitmore model more than the DeSantis model. That’s reason enough alone to keep Gov. DeSantis in place through the end of his term in 2026. Floridians didn’t vote for him in a landslide for freedom only to have a bait-and-switch medical tyranny-backed replacement finish his term. Floridians must decide who their next governor is. Not suffer the cruelest con job imaginable for RD’s ambitions and ego.
There are no good politicians, and very few statesmen, if any. There’s no bench to pick from. The dugout is empty.
Yes, and THAT’S a real problem. Have thought about it often.
They always have a bench…trust me as an eye witness in Minnesota…they always have a bench
On the other team, sure, politicians are a dime a dozen, literally. But the MAGA bench isn’t very deep, yet.
Well, well said!
As I have pointed out before, the Republican Party doesn’t have 80 million billionaires to vote for their candidates. The conundrum the Republican Party faces is they have no interest or intention of advancing the issues we want so they pay lip service to us like Mitch McConnell railing about school prayer while school officials are giving your grandchildren a sex change operation!
He’s dropping in the polls because people are tired of hearing him run around talking about Florida. There’s only so much of that people can take. Okay, your state is doing good. We get it. So are several other Republican states.
The other thing is that the more goofball Biden screw the people and make them miserable, the more they remember how great they had it under Trump. Why go with the guy you don’t know can do the job when you can go with the guy who has already proved that he can do the job, and do it well.
I remember during the2022 mid terms when Trump was having rallies in Florida for the other candidates, DeSantis and his crew got jealous and upset about Trump doing that. And I’m sure it was because of the crowd sizes in those rallies. DeSantis just can’t compete with that.
The Different Republican clubs have bought up a bunch of his books and are offering them to people when you donate to the Republican Club. I saw that in my Facebook feed today. So I asked in the comment section if they would be giving away Trump’s new book when it comes out. I know that I probably teed somebody off with that comment. LOL! So that’s how his book has reached such high numbers. I’m not interested in reading about how he saved Florida. He tells us about it every opportunity he gets. And it’s getting very old.
You reminded me of President Trump’s last rally before the midterms in Florida. Speaking in the pouring rain, totally drenched and the crowd joyously in the rain with him.
President Trump is the head of the MAGA movement. That won’t change in 2028, in 2034.
As long as he lives, President Trump will be the leader of MAGA, the one standing in the breach, the flame and voice of MAGA. Others may run for high office and do great things for the MAGA movement, but no one will replace him as the head of MAGA.
DeSantis is dropping in the polls because he lacks MAGA principles and lacks charisma.
Ironic that the very things that put him in the Governor’s office were supplied to his campaign by VSGPDJT.
Main backer of GOPe= Council On Foreign Relations
“DeSantis is doing a book tour. He’s barnstorming the country, and his polls are going down,” the strategist said.”
This statement sums up exactly why RdS is plummeting. Real people don’t like a scam, a con game. They see Ronnie for what he is, a cheap carnival barker, all flash, no substance. And his book tour guise has worn thin.
The chasm between us and them has widened into a gulf. The rulers can’t comprehend why we just won’t comply, play the shell game anymore (thanks in large part to CTH).
But it’s full steam ahead, damn the consequences. Damn them indeed.
The Council On Foreign Relations has allot to do with the following quote. Most Presidents are members as well as key positions within every administration. Even PDJT’s administration which was part of the reason why there was treason & opposition from within his party against his MAGA policies. PDJT was NOT a member. Neither was Reagan. But most since the formation of the CFR have been and their administrations are full of them. They are globalist anti-american traitors & criminals working against our interests

That says it all.
With appreciation to you friend. Cheers
Ty Colkitto, as always, you score a bullseye. The truth perfectly condensed into one sentence.
The apex monied interests just recently had a corrupt turnip installed in our White House. Things are now so bad economically that I think their concern lies in the fact that it will take a “once in a life time miracle theft”, 2020 notwithstanding, to overcome a Trump candidacy…
I got the biggest laugh from one of Tucker Carlson’s episodes this week. He was talking about how statements are made and repeated even though they are unprovable hype. He gave examples. One of his examples was, “Putin is a war criminal.”
I laughed out loud. That was DeSantis’ statement to Piers Morgan. In other words, Tucker was implying that RDS was an idiot for repeating something that was media hype without proof.
RdS is empty, unauthentic, and no great thinker. He has to be prepped with someone else’s script before going on stage.
DeSantis is another one that needs the questions before hand.
And the answers
“Just when you think you had the answers I change the questions.” — Rowdy Roddy Piper
Tucker FAILED us when he did not show the second night of the J6 tapes that were given to him and promised to his audience.
MAGA is also loyal. Meatball’s disloyalty to President Trump after
he went out of his way to campaign for RdS for governor (twice)
defines “traitor” to us.
The big donors are used to purchasing their politicians.
President Trump did not and will not buy his way to office.
Bye, bye Ronnie, Tim Scott, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, etc.
You are not and will never be up to the job.
You know it and we know it.
I thought RDS had all the makings of becoming the heir-apparent to PT and MAGA. But he really blew it by aligning with the RINO club and going against PT in 2024. RDS got some really bad political advice. His team should have cautioned to wait it out until 2028.
That said, the only heir apparent IC on the horizon is Kari Lake? No one else comes close to MAGA / America First agenda, appeal, media savvy, and ability take punches and counter punch with veracity.
Your thoughts?
Agreed,
IMO had he done so he would be a “shoe in” for 2028.
Florida would be “tied up” Ohio too..
Voter fraud tightened up, and bam! He is President in 2028.
Oh well, no he is just another Rubio type.
Cheers!

not ready for primetime. RDS voice is like a squeaking pig.
In the meantime hundreds of prosecutors are scheming in DC and other places on what crime to fabricate.
