Timing is everything, and the timing here is simultaneously transparent and inappropriate.
Today the Florida Senate scheduled a change via committee vote of the “Resign to Run” law for next Tuesday, April 4, 2023 at 2:00pm. The intent of the change is almost certainly to permit Governor Ron DeSantis to formally announce his 2024 candidacy without having to resign his job as governor.
Source Links: [FL Senate 7050 Legislative Bill] – [ Bill pdf Here]
Irony: Florida law change scheduled today, same date as Trump indictment announced. Florida law change committee vote scheduled Tuesday 4/4/23, same date as Trump traveling to Manhattan for his arraignment.

Can’t wait to not vote for Ron!
I can’t wait for him to never announce.
I sure hope he doesn’t do it.
By DeSantis simply playing these games and not getting behind Trump makes him a non-MAGA Deep State recruited candidate. If DeSantis really cared about the United States he would back Trump’s candidacy and volunteer to be with him on the campaign trail (like Gen. Mike Flynn in 2016).
If we are destined to get Democratic Deep State policies no matter who we vote for, I would rather it be a Democratic than suffer 4 years of RINO DeSantis hypocrisy. I don’t want any of this in my name or associated with my vote, sorry.
My guess is that if if DeSantis eventually does get the nomination, he will get his ass handed to him by Biden due to the MAGA no shows… so they must be paying him a fortune to do this. IMHO
It would be interesting to know the amount and perks he has been promised.
His wifey is shopping for tiaras I understand. Slava Ukraine with Zelensky’s wifey.
😂
RD doesnt think it will happen to him. An Indian proverb: What is the greatest wonder of the world? When all men around him are dying, a man thinks it will not happen to him.
So much chaos and trouble going on internationally in the world and nationally in the U.S. But DeSantis seems to a constant story line.
Worry about 2024 may be irrelevant by then.
The economic meltdown, de-dollarization, persecution of Trump, gender fascism, creeping steadily to WW3, hidden risks of 5G, realignment of countries, diabolical bio labs working overtime, lawfare in multiple countries, fallout about the vaxx, Just to state the obvious.
The U.S. election may take place in a transfigured world. if it takes place at all. And who is ‘president’ won’t matter as much if the world stage is reconfigured.
Good point. I am sure many have not even thought about that.
I have.
So have I.
Lots is changing quickly.
Dear God
Pence is on cnn
What a piece of sh!t
CNN is where he belongs
Won’t say where he belongs, along with CNN.
But I am thinking it, real hard.
Right before that, Anderson CoopHER was discussing how to get the camera shots when Trump would be walking down the hallway in the NY building, duly handcuffed, and asking when the mug shot would soonest be available.
Then, I watched Pence writhe with fake sympathy with CNN host, Wolf Blizted Out. Worse, I switched over to Vannity who wouldn’t let anyone talk. Then, I thought I saw Glenn Beck wearing a MAGA hat on Tucker.
We’re gonna need a bigger boat……to the mental institution.
How do the citizens of Florida feel now that it is blindingly obvious that they were hoodwinked into voting for a man who never had any intention of actually serving as governor?
They should have listened to Charlie Crist when he kept saying that in the race for Governor.
Recall Ron!, Sir!
It hasn’t happened yet and I hope it won’t.
Well I was hoping the indictment of President Trump wouldn’t happen either.
It will.
That should be asked all over the Florida airwaves .
We thought we had a great Governor. But he has abandoned us already for the future promise of a better life. A life in the White House where he gets to be the big cheese just like Biden. Disgusting betrayal. People are also talking about how he’s not really taking care of Florida. He’s just doing the big photo op type things like confronting Disney but not really getting anything for it. He is not helping us with our insurance which is going to drive a whole lot of retirees out of Florida or onto the streets of Florida. I’m sure some people are fooled, but anybody with the brain is not.
yes, and he let the Disney board out smart him.
actually, the board before he was elected did the trick. Had nothing to do with him.
your response makes no sense.
the board was in place when he was elected.
the ‘trick’ deal happened after he was elected.
…or of obeying that law!!
Remember how Sarah Palin waz crucified by the dims for running for VP after having won governor in Alaska??
There it is, the reason he was soooo supportive in public, to cover this subversive F U
I want to donate to Trump but not through the winRed
To him
How
That is such an excellent thing to bring up. Just recently President Trump has been starting to refer people more to donaldtrump.com for donating, and also has given the option of sending a payment by check.
I can’t stand Winred, and I don’t like the idea of the joint fund.
I am currently giving monthly through Winred, but I am going to change that.
I do not trust them.
I agree. They cannot be trusted!
I believe that’s donaldjtrump.com.
I also do not like giving the credit card companies even a dime.
Another good point. I just canceled my Winred account and printed off the mail-in form to send to President Trump.
ALTERNATIVE TO WINRED — President Trump’s site provides an alternative to WinRed where you can pay directly with your credit card or mail a check to both his campaign and Save America Pac (allows you to bypass WinRed).
“Trump Save America JFC is a joint fundraising committee on behalf of Donald J. Trump for President 2024, Inc. and Save America. Joint fundraising proceeds shall be allocated among the committees as follows: 90% to Donald J. Trump for President 2024, Inc. (2024 primary election), 10% to Save America, and any contribution exceeding the legal amount that may be contributed to either of the Committees will be allocated to Donald J. Trump for President 2024, Inc. (2024 general election)”
Federal law requires us to use our best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation, and name of employer for each individual whose aggregate contributions exceed $200 in a calendar year. (my note –since they don’t know how much your aggregate annual will be, they ask for this info up front.)
https://cdn.donaldjtrump.com/djtweb24/general/TSA_JFC_Contributor_Form_230217.pdf
Download and complete the form at this pdf link. To comply with campaign laws, they apparently need your name, address, employer, occupation, phone email and signature.

Sorry, it is not an alternative to WinRed. Going to those links puts you on WinRed’s site. You are just being forwarded to WinRed. The domain name DonaldJTrump.com forwards to WinRed. Your check OR credit card will go to WinRed to be processed apparently. So the question is: Do you trust WinRed?

On March 3rd I received a letter “from President Donald J. Trump” that said: : “Joint fundraising proceeds shall be allocated among the committees as follows: 99% to Donald J. Trump for President 2024, Inc. (2024 primary election and 2024 general election accounts), 1% to Save America.” Notice the difference in percentages. The address was also different:

So? Where does Trump himself prefer we send money?
I’m not saying this isn’t legit, just that, like you, I want my donation to go to the correct place, and I would prefer it was NOT the GOP. However, https://winred.com/about/ is the official GOP donor platform that was set up to counter the Dems “Act Blue” fundraising platform. I believe during the 2020 run for office President Trump used it, and he needs a payment processor obviously. Is he still using it? I have lost all trust in the GOP, after all, Mitch McConnell and the rest of the rats are on WinRed too.
WinRed says: https://winred.com/blog/what-you-need-to-know-about-winred/
Does President Trump have confidence in them?
I do not think it is/was a coincidence. Anyone who thinks RdS has not been in the know and has known the timing of this is fooling themselves. His little speech was developed days or weeks ago. RdS is Uniparty and as such is/was aware of the timing and is the enemy, IMO. Deep State is DEEP and Rove and Bushes are corrupt globalists. It is a Uniparty plan, just as stealing the 2020 election was a Uniparty plan. I will vote Trump in 2024 and never vote for loser RdS.
The potential indictments in Atlanta and DC are also part of the plan to eliminate Trump. If we do not stop them we are done for. Let’s kick some Uniparty A$$.
You are probably right but not necessarily.
DeSantis may have prepped this speech, not b/c he was/is in “the know” but rather because his response last week was so awful it turned off many of his FL MAGA Republican supporters who like him as their Governor, or at least caused them to question his unwillingness to condemn this overt political witch hunt against a US President, who is running for POTUS in 2024.
Using fed and state agencies to target political opponents cannot be tolerated in the USA… is what he should have said but didnt. What he said this time is practically verbatim what was said here on CTH and other MAGA supportive sites. DeSantis knows he cannot win without MAGA/America First voters and election workers.
But he ain’t MAGA/America First so he will not get my support under any circumstance. Scares me to think anyone could see this pretender to be MAGA/America First. He is pure bred Uniparty and a cutthroat. You really don’t think he is celebrating with his uniparty disciples tonight?
You know how most sites have a “like” button?
We need to change how ballots are set up, so you can check the box, to vote FOR the person, OR check the box that is “NO, NOT EVER!”
Sometimes, just voting for their opponent just ain’t enough!
Mistake on my part – should be Kilroy, Not Gilroy (as in the garlic capital in California)
According to Wikipedia, Kilroy was a meme . . .
here is the link to the Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilroy_was_here
Lol… I thought that when I read ‘Gilroy.’ I’ve driven by Gilroy, the garlic capital. Didn’t stop though. 😉
What a reticent, lying, backstabbing, slime ball RD is!
Can he carry Florida when he is leaving us?
Can he keep Florida from falling to Dem control?
Or, is that the actual plan, to make it Blue?
No DeSantis rules the not for me. This why this rule is in place for ambitions narcissist. You still have work to do fortifying FL.
We have the most inspired and talented crew!
That is some talent there!
Would love to have them do one on the fake crisis pulled off on J6 and why it was perpetrated on the American people.
Start with your article, then Gateway Pundits, then Harold Pease.
Seems like this should be up to the citizens of Florida and not the legislature.
DeSantis needs to back off and keep his powder dry for a 2028 run. At this point in time if by some chance he were to get the Republican nomination the Deep State and their controlled Media would do everything in their power to destroy him. Only Trump can handle their abuse of power and win in 2024.
After this BS, Desantis will never be President.
I hope and pray that he will never be President. It would be like having Mitt Romney or John McCain or another Bush. MAGA always. Trump 2024. Matt Gaetz 2028.
Matt Gaetz for governor in 2026. He is young enough to serve two terms and then run for higher office. Though, that will leave my district looking for a new congressman to follow him 😕.
CHEF 👨🍳 BOY RD is Owned by the DEEPSTATE
Please stop Pretending ✋️
Holy cow! You still don’t realize that DeSantis is a worthless piece of Bush garbage?
i will never vote for that globalist shill.
Me either JustMe.
I learned the hard way after Mitt Romney.
That jerk put us through the RINO Wringer, so many of us now wish we could get our vote and the money we contributed to that weasel back.
I am not going down that road again with DeSantis.
And I don’t even what to get started on George Bush Jr.
I had no idea that Karl Rove was doing a limited hangout here. 😆
Absolutely right.
It is NOT “by some chance” that Ron gets the RNC nomination, it is very much BY DESIGN.
And, we are SEEING the design play out, right in front of us.
Statute of limitations on the crime PDJT didn’t commit, that even if he had committed it, wasn’t a crime, has expired.
The only purpose for this malicious persecution, and the following one in Georgia, is to give “cover” to Ronna mittsniece, to say the RNC will not give PDJT the nomination, cause “muh indictments”.
And no, not in 2028, not evah.
Bad timing and not a winning proposition. Especially when the NYT’s had to downplay the chances of the indictment actually accomplishing anything (as it relates to putting PDJT in jail).
The indictment will only make PDJT supporters more supportive and dems who hate him, hate him even more – the problem lies in the middle. When this goes no where, as it should based on Statue of Limitations, Federal Election law out of the purview of the Manhattan DA, etc, it’ll be another round of we got him……..ooops.
How many times can they keep doing this, coming up with nothing and people not buying into the hype (those in the “middle”)?
Hype Fatigue.
People that realize they have been and are being played kinda get pissed.
May this all be the biggest Trump Boomerang ever!!
PDJT just gained the votes of a bunch of people, that without this indictment, would NEVER have considered voting for him, and will not lose ANY votes, of voters that already intended to vote for him.
I’m thinking this may all be Kabuki theater. Does anyone have photographic reference to Biden having the nuclear football? Remember Pelosi trying to get control of it? If Biden doesn’t have it, then I think Trump signed the insurrection act before he left office, and passed it to the military whitehats.
Puhlease, quit it,….just quit it.
Don’t you know Sessions is actually building a massive case, and Hillary and all will be,…yah, give it a rest!
‘How to Get the Majority of Americans to Hate You’
by Ron Desantis
As if I needed any, but this is even more proof that the GOPe is not our ally. Just as we’ve seen over and over, the UniParty works as one.
RDS turns out to be a form of TDS.
If RdS runs for President Florida will have a Gov like Gillum in 2026. RdS failed to work on 2020 fraud.
Reede creek backfired.
There is a dark uniparty conspiracy going on here.
They put in the Resign to Run law to show how principled they are. But this is at least the second time they’ve repealed it, they did it for Jeb!, too.
Paradoxically, it only proves how unprincipled they are.
Just be done with it. The times are too serious for the same old childish games. Grow up.
Jeb wasn’t governor when he ran for President in 2015-2016. His term ended in 2007.
Yes-I believe it was Crist.
The masks really are off at this point.
Meatball is cooking in the Oligarchs pot and will be served at a time and temperature of their choosing.
But, we don’t have to take it!
Do everything you can to support Trump and any MAGA office holder, local official, GOP committee member, friend, or family member you have.
For if we do not hang together, we shall most assuredly hand separately.
Or something like that.
Ron DeSantis is not a good governor. He’s got an exceptional PR team, but that is all it is. He’s a hollow man, a straw poll. A stuffed scarecrow. He can’t even be bothered to take care of his responsibilities to the residents of Florida because he has the hubris to stand against President Trump.
I’ll take # 1 Big Beautiful Patriotic Ham sandwich w/ American 1 st Cheese & Extraordinary Indictment Sauce
Not only should Floridians be hot red angry with DeSantis; but we need to let our legislators know making this provision for him to run and not have to resign is equally crappy! Shame on all of them! He never should have run for a second term if he’s going to bail and be running around the country!
I am an avid reader of the Treehouse, lurking and learning from the wisdom of Sundance and all of the commentators and rarely post, but thought this might be helpful to some of my fellow Floridians:
floridasenate.gov
Click on the Committee tab, select the Ethics and Elections Committee for a list of the members.
Clicking on the Committee Member’s name provides their district office and state house phone numbers.
The Committee staff is listed along with the Committee phone number.
Staff Director: Dawn Roberts 850-487-5828
I think the Committee staff and each individual member needs to know how we feel about changing the law at this time.
I intend to call tomorrow and ask a question:
Why is so essential to change the law now and not last year or even next time the legislature is in session? What is the sudden urgency?
And offer a suggestion:
The law should state that no one currently holding an elected office at the time the law takes effect (July 1st, 2023) is eligible to benefit from any change to the “Resign to Run” law and are governed by the law in place when they were sworn into office.
Please ring their phones off the hook and clog up the voicemail. Always calmly, firmly and, of course, respectfully!
I called and emailed Jay Trumbull’s office earlier this month about this issue and I’ll call the committee number you provided. But, as a lifelong Floridian, I can tell you that Tallahassee is as swampy as DC. I fear the fix is already in to change the resign to run law.
These republicans in Florida are really starting to piss people off and they will get the heave-ho next election cycle. Florida is not like Illinois or New York or California where the party in-power can just do whatever it wants and there’s no consequences at the ballot box. If the democrats ran FL, that would be the case, but the GOP will never have that edge. Even when they have large majorities, they are fighting for their lives. That’s our system today and it won’t be changing any time soon.
Tons of in-bound carpetbagging liberals from the northeast and upper midwest too. The FL GOP better watch-out.
roves rover
Ron Jebadiah Pence DeSanctimonious has to know that after today…… his opportunity to run in 2024 is over.
He DOESN’T CARE.
He, his donor owners are not doing this to “win”; they “win” each election, regardless whether the declared winner has a (D) or an (R) after their name, because they own both candidates.
They only lose when, instead of a Uniparty (D or R, it doesn’t matter) winning office, it is a MAGA-R candidate that wins the election.
As for Ron, he is assured enough $ that his grandchildren grandchildren will never long for anything, and should he or his ever need a transplant organ, it’s available with a 5 point match.
Thanks Dutchman.
Your blunt analysis always cut thru the chaff and light the target.
Erin Grall is my state Senator and I will write and call her tomorrow
Rob, Disney called, they want your suit case of money delivered as scheduled in their park’s Trans bathroom under the tampon despensing machine.
Normally (whatever THAT means anymore…) when something like this passes which affects an office or position, it only takes effect for the next term of office (i.e. does not apply to the incumbent).
I don’t believe in coincidences — this was planned a long time ago by Darth Soros and crew!
Ron DeJudas
As a fellow Italian Ron should know what happens when you ask the godfather for multiple favors and then after he does you stab him in the back. He is known as a Cornudo and looses respect.
When donating to donaldjtrump.com can one note donation for legal and/or campaign? Or better yet, used for whatever Donald J Trump damn well wants to use it for, including non-disclosure agreements?
He will scrub his record of anything that compromises his chances. A good reason to call him the DeSantistizer!
It almost begs one of those infamous “Florida Man” headlines.
“Florida man seeks job while missing from job.”
Every dang day Ronny produces more evidence of how unfit he is for ANY position in Government. I feel like an idiot for voting for him over Adam Putnam back in 2016! Here’s to more patriots waking up daily and realizing Ron’s inability to be the “man” to take Trump out!
Maybe they wanted us to all put masks on so it didn’t look so obvious when they took theirs off?
RdS looks stoopider and stoopider.
The great Republican strategy: watch The lions in the arena rip President Trump apart while crying crocodile tears, and then appear from the shadows and announce the willingness to replace a great warrior and take his place. I have heard that DeSantis supporters will not vote for President Trump should he win the primary. Well, turnabout is fair play now. We enter a steep descent into the hells scape that is the United States of Fascism.
More swampery from the swamp.
I don’t understand why the pretense concerning themselves with resign to run they should go ahead and do what they will.
The bulk of the population are too dull to understand
Those who do won’t do anything but whine
Those willingly to take a stand are unorganized without both a plan and leader
He has already broken the law.

How convenient, and the timing is impeccable.
What a screwed up country.
March 30 they announced Trump’s indictment. That’s the date of Reagan’s shooting. It’s also Klaus Schwab’s birthday.
Such hubris. Pride cometh before a fall
They want Desantis because he will be a graceful loser to the eventual Democrat demon that wins….by cheating of course….
He just has that second fiddle look about him….
No. He will win so that when the end of the US comes, it will but with a “Republican” instead of a Democrat to take the blame for the most important event in world history — the fall of the United States of America.
So, we lose if he wins? Looks like that covers about all of the bases, so I guess we can all stay home next year. I was born into a GREAT country full of good people who wanted the best for their own families in the future. That was before the negative propaganda war began and nobody could imagine anything stopping us from a better future. I will take even a small victory next year, if it can put us back on the trail to a great country again.
I am tired of talking about having lived in an optimistic Republic to my sons. I want them to live in such a place and to know how great it was for me to be a citizen of the USA. We were all the luckiest people in the history of the world, and we knew it. We also knew that our Freedom would always be fought for in order to keep it. Because it was that good. As sad as we are, foreigners will still do almost anything to have our level of Freedom, because it is still good enough compared to the alternatives. Looks like it is time to let our kids have a chance at some of our great memories.
Spot on. Rove and co. orchestrated the timing. Don’t think for a second that the Bushes won’t join Soros in burning down America’s best future, just to get at Trump.
Actually, they are trying to get at God and His people.
Mr. Trump is just in the way.
Thank you Val
Please clap
I will not be voting for Ron DeSantis for President.
If he wins the 2024 nomination it may be the first time I’ve not voted for someone for President since I was in my early 20s and I’m over 70 years old now.
I am sick and tired of the Uni-Party grifters.
I surely hope it doesn’t come to that, but right now I am just plain old disgusted.
I’ve always voted, but most of the time I’ve written in the name of Thomas Sowell or someone like him.
If you are serious, it seems like a no-brainer for everyone to write in Trump.
There are no provisions for writing candidates in the structure of Presidential, Electoral College elections.
It is not for the electoral college, it’s for the rats in the GOP, it sends a message.
I feel the same. Never not voted, in any election, since 1968…Until 2022. I didn’t vote then. I am no longer a Republican. I’m just an American.
The “Only Trumpers” and the “Never Trumpers” will almost certainly secure a win for the Woke Democrats. How about supporting your party, no matter who the nominee is? Evil will win again if we can’t come together. They work together; it’s why they’re in charge.
Because the RNC IS EQUALLY EVIL. Do you not read Sundance’s articles about the “RNC Club?”
Not only that, the RNC is cheating, too. They’re stealing precincts from the R grassroots which enables them to “select” RINO candidates & keep things to ensure fair elections off local or state ballots. Each & every R Governor looks the other way. See Mike Lindell about S Dakota & Tracey Beanz Twitter about South Carolina – happened there & I personally observed it here in my red state.
Our battle ground & battle lines are in our own backyards (precincts) & it’s time to get very busy so we get our precincts full of R grassroots.
Virginia did it in 2021 & WON. Nebraska did it & kicked Sasse out of their state & the Senate.
How about waking up to the fact that there ARE no “parties” like “r” and”d”!! Party labels have been meaningless for years, rendered so by the sever slide to the Left by our elected representatives. The choices today are between the Constitution and Communism. I know which II choose.
I’m in my fifties. I’ve gone to the polls in almost every election since turning 18 but I rarely voted for president.
I voted for Perot, Buchanan, abstained in 2004-2012, voted for DJT twice.
Abstention is a noble task. If you abstain you have more right to complain than those who agree to abide by the outcome of an election.
If you voted for Perot, you helped elect Clinton.
So noble.
In retrospect it was a wise choice.
If you voted for Bush you voted for Iraq War I, Iraq War II, Afghanistan, illegal immigration, the Patriot Act, etc, etc.
I would have rather had the criminal pervert Clinton than the warmonger Bush Crime Family.
Clinton had his illegal war in Serbia. But that isn’t near the wars the Bush family started on at least three occasions.
Perot > Bush and Clinton.
I’m glad Bush Sr. lost. I wish Bush Jr would have lost as well.
if you voted Bush you supported a Biden voter . so noble
Hindsight is always 20/20
Write Trump’s name in. I did that with Ron Paul. It will not change the tally, but it sends a MESSAGE to the GOP.
