As team Ron DeSantis prepares for the national launch of a 2024 presidential bid, one of the campaign’s primary areas of concern is the need to create optics representing support and momentum.
As noted by comments delivered to the Washington Post by DeSantis PAC organizers:
[…] DeSantis allies are acutely aware of Trump’s still-strong influence and appeal in the Republican Party. A senior member of Never Back Down has said the group will be heavily involved in building crowds for DeSantis, in part because of Trump’s fixation on crowd size and the expectation that a front-runner candidate draws big audiences, according to a person familiar with the comments.
“If you’re DeSantis, you have to desperately avoid the small room with Jeb Bush asking attendees to please clap,” the person said, referencing a viral moment from Bush’s unsuccessful presidential campaign in 2016. (read more)
The last several weeks have been very rough for team DeSantis as noted by Politico:
[…] On the same day Trump was indicted in an alleged hush money scheme, the Florida governor was posing with puppies at a pet adoption event as his aides instructed reporters to leave.
“This is deja vu all over again,” said Terry Sullivan, who ran Marco Rubio’s 2016 campaign for president. “Trump dominates media coverage, making it impossible for his competitors to get any coverage or forward traction.”
The Republican presidential primary was always expected to revolve around Trump. But post-indictment, as Republicans rally to his defense — including, crucially, conservative talkers on Fox News — Trump’s opponents are confronting an even more damaging dynamic in race: Their inability to break through at all.
“It feels like fucking 2016,” said a Republican strategist who supports DeSantis and was granted anonymity to speak freely about the dynamics of the race. “Is there anything that can suck up as much political oxygen in the American political landscape as Trump? I don’t think so.” (read more)
FLORIDA – Former president Donald Trump is now leading Florida governor Ron DeSantis in a hypothetical 2024 head-to-head matchup among likely Republican voters in the Sunshine State, according to a new poll from Victory Insights.
The survey shows Trump winning support from 46.6 percent of likely voters, while DeSantis notched support from 31.8 percent of voters. Another 21.6 percent of likely voters said they are undecided. The results mean Trump has enjoyed a 25.7 point swing in his favor since Victory Insights conducted a similar poll in November, when Trump formally announced his campaign and DeSantis was riding high from a landslide reelection win. At the time, polling showed DeSantis with a 10.9-point lead over Trump in Florida.
“Five months later, things have changed substantially,” Victory Insights senior pollster Ben Galbraith said in a statement. “Several other candidates have announced their candidacies, and Trump has been indicted and arrested in a highly politicized move by the Manhattan DA. DeSantis still hasn’t officially announced his candidacy, but his messaging, book tour, and PAC activity certainly point to a presidential run in the coming months.” (more)
That’s what they said about Jeb!
Nah-nah-nah-nah

what the rinos don’t realize is that their scams
are even more obvious now
Whether intended or not, one of the consequences of the Trump era is the groundswell of people who have given clear meaning to that term “woke.” We can now, and for many with the help of Sundance, see all those strings on the marionettes. There’s no hiding it now. I wonder if these rinos, and the dems that control them, will ever come to understand that their jig is up.
Almost everyday I am stunned by someone’s in-depth political knowledge…someone whom I thought was “fat, dumb, and lazy” like some are wont to post here…someone whom I thought was actually too busy for or uninterested in politics…and then we start talking and I silently say, “Thank you God…America is still alive with hope”
I live in a totally blue County. And I still run into that almost every day as well. People know what’s going on. And they’re not happy with it. Take away the voting machines and the lack of a functional Department of Justice, and this would be a totally different country than it is right now
Agreed StarF… honored to have your reply.
They’re going to have to come up with some scam to beat Trump’s rally attendances, like maybe giving away a dozen eggs to every attendee lol.
You know that as soon as DeSanctimonious announces a rally, Trump will have one at the same time not far away. And if DeSanctimonious only announces a rally at the last minute to avoid a competing Trump rally, he will have only a few hundred attendees.
What to do, what to do, if you’re Team DeSanctimonious hmmmm
Last time DeSantis was a hanger-on to a country music performance… so much like Hillary
When did the f-word become OK for major news outlets to publish, as was quoted in the referenced Politico article?
Lowering standards of conduct is no different than refusing to charge criminals with felony crimes.
Btw, in case anyone has not figured it out yet….the GOP is riddled through and through with democrat operatives posing as conservatives.
Also….quote…
“Former president Donald Trump is now leading Florida governor Ron DeSantis in a hypothetical 2024 head-to-head matchup among likely Republican voters in the Sunshine State, according to a new poll from Victory Insights.”
Yeah…ummm….there never was a time when PDJT was NOT leading DeSanctimonious. Then again, that comes from an aptly-named “Yahoo” article, so the clown-face fits.
As Bongino says, about half the GOP are actually democrats, but there are no democrats that are actually Republicans.
The activists? He’s absolutely right
Normies? Ripe for the picking
and therein lies the problem with the republican party
Democrats are not allowed to be Republicans in their Democracy.
If GOP nominates anyone but Trump I’m still voting for Trump, and I’ll overvote every other office. I’m done with the GOP and their crap. Trump is immensely popular and they’ve never stopped kicking him. GOP is in the way. MAGA
yes!
If PDJT is not the Republican nominee, then I write him in.
I am getting 10 texts a day from the globalist asking for money to save the Republican Party from Trump. Junking and reporting every one of them🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
“Asking for money to save the Republican Party from Trump” WOW! That is definitely a Democrat, left-wing, globalist agenda. Is that coming from DeSantis campaign? If so, that is a huge mistake.
If the GOP nominates anyone other than Trump, the backlash will be much worse than his fake arrest!
The GOP hates people like you. I like your view.
Comments should go your way in numbers.
You got mine.
A team to build crowds. Imagine that. Is that kin to build back better?
President Trump only has to announce he’s coming and the venue is swarmed before daylight. No “team” necessary.
Except the set up teams.
I was thinking what an irony it would be if the DeSwampis campaign had to give Disney World tickets and passes as an enticement to people to attend his rallies. That would be too funny!
I can’t wait to see Meatball working for Disney after he destroys his entire political future.
Yep, after all that, Disney is still running their own little foreign country.
Yes, it’s too funny, is it not?
It’s getting harder to fool all the people any time.
Thanks Sundance for spreading the word!
I don’t know Sundance, that is one mean looking kitty. I may have to switch cats here.
I was debating if we should add a tutu.
How about a tiara?
Casey won’t give it up.
Why do people thinks she’s power-hungry like Jill
A Baby Blue Binky with an Elephant on it.
Anyone other than Trump is the Diet Coke of MAGA. Why settle for the veggies and salad when the steak is right there. These consultants are lame. No wonder they can’t get their patrons across the finish line.
They could have save a lot of time, embarrassment, and money and just polled CTH. 95- 5 for Trump.
“These consultants are lame.”
Long time ago I heard a most appropriate definition of consultant: “A consultant is like a sex therapist who’s still a virgin.”
Well, there ARE the really good ones. Like Lee Atwater, El Supremo. And then lots of Wanna-Bes like the odious, mediocre Rove. He’s the quintessential sappy, smug, self-serving inept slobs that are “Republican consultants”. Puke.
Bud Light
but they can cheat!
We’re just not that into you.
Suck it up buttercup.
I used to have such high thoughts about DeSantis. Now I absolutely loathe this man. Treachery.
DD
The lion and the pussy(cat) are too dang hilarious.
DeSantis is turning into quite the little bully. His panties are all in a bunch over the Disney thing and now he wants to raise road tolls and taxes because he got played like a cheap fiddle.
I was afraid republicans would just substitute their tyranny for democrat tyranny and that is happening all across the country.
Now Idaho wants to criminalize people from helping kids cross the border for an abortion. That’s not a MAGA or a Freedom agenda.
DeSantis was told by donors to gut Disney.
Now he’s pretending he’s going to be a BIG FIGHTER
Not sure if he ever wanted to follow through but he didn’t
Kids should not be having medical procedures without the parent’s consent even in their own state…
The fact the Establishment didn’t lift a finger to make Biden’s “Rallies” come remotely close even the small crowds Hillary had in 2016 was one of the signs that the Fix was On in 2020.
Hillary thought the first woman POTUS was in the bag, that’s why she welcomed the non politician Trump. Easy peasy, eh Hildabeast?
Marc0 Rub10’s campaign. That was a fun one. 😉
Gee. All you have to do is be better then Trump on the issues.
Like that will ever happen
DeSoros is not allowed to do better by his sponsers.
Trump 2024.
anyone else 2028,
Economic security. Trump did it and DeSantis won’t talk about it.
Ron can pound sand
He is not MAGA
Trump 2024 read my lips
Ron who?
Ronda Meatball.
DeSanctimonious’ people will “insist” that local and state elected Republicans at all levels and their staff, family, and friends, attend his events. If you don’t go, no money for your next campaign.
Ask yourself why all the pretending with DeSantis thinking he can beat Trump when they all know there is no way , ZERO chance, to prevail in a fair election. If you could read their mind it would say
“I dont need you to get me elected”
DeSantis Didnt Win, We All Know It
Mass Psychosis = The Rembrandt of memes…😃
lol
Im serious, they know they cant win…Period. Just like Budweiser knows putting a transvestite on their products isnt going to increase sales. So how do they still win ever since the new normal elections in 2020 and how do the woke multi national corps stay in business…
Gotta wonder where Soros left hand is in that pic?🤣🤣🤣
fudge fingers
DeSantis sitting on Santa’s lap. $$$$$$
As for DeSantis I say let him run and get his clock cleaned by Trump. It will be one less establishment Republican running for the presidency in 2028.
This is related. It is a great report by Jon Browne on Act Blue – one way in which the Establishment — lies. Breaks the Law. With impunity…
Extremely Important to Note + Promote — Look what just a handful of Average Citizens did with the available info on who donates to Act Blue to funnel to Establishment Candidates.
— Look what the MSM + FBI + DOJ + GOPe + the rest of the Extended Establishment —– REFUSES TO DO…!!!
It took Average Citizens time to go thru the data —- but they identified suspicious “Donors” then sought them out —— to find —- yes — it was a Crime. These elderly individuals had NOT made 4 or 5 donations per day for years totaling amounts like — $5,000 per month for several years….
I’ve been saying for several years —- our Vital Institutions are —- Corrupt to the marrow of their bones.
— They all take part in the Lies + Deceptions + Refusal to Uphold the Law…
So of course —– those willing to break the law flock in to take advantage of it….
https://madmaxworld.tv/watch?id=6433073479a0486afc5eedaa
Jan6 Protesters get thrown in jail by the hundreds or thousands – on going – held without bail + the DOJ does whatever it wants to assure convictions — and the GOP Establishment —- couldn’t care less…
Lawless Corrupt Land
They don’t waste a penny on rallies for Joe Biden because they knew the Fix was going to be too obvious anyway.
Now, they have Desantis playing Ross Perot.
How much $$$ will they bother spending on pretending the 2024 Primaries + Election are “Real”….???
I’m inclined to believe we need an investigation.
DeSantite Press is growing more incoherent.
The excerpts say nothing except “waaah”
It would take a lot of money to buy crowds like Trump draws. What I saw is DeSantis going to concerts and barging on stage to get some video making it look like he drew the crowd – but and this is a big but – Trump doesn’ t require a country act to draw a crowd for him to get a phot0-op – people stand in line for days to get into a Trump event… show me that kind of enthusiasm for DeSantis – I don’t think it exists, Trump is a one-of….
You either have or you don’t, and it’s pretty evident who has it, and who doesn’t!
If DeSantia had any sense, he would wait until 2028. If he had supported Trump for 2024 (maybe not too late?) , he would be a lock for 2028.
He will never be a lock for President in my eyes, NEVER!
Oh, it is too late. His colors have been shown.
My thoughts also. All he had to do was be loyal to the man who dragged him over the finish line as Governor. He would have been a natural replacement in 2028.
Dream on.
A globalist Rino is not a lock anything anymore in politics.
One by one they’re being sent packing.
RDS as shown his stripes, he is a “will-never-be-my- president.”
If he had come out for Trump at the beginning, even before the FBI raid on Trump’s home, maybe, but that ship left port long ago!
They can’t wait until 2028. It will be too late. They must defeat Trump now before the Republic us restored.
Read this, and share…The excellent Matt Bracken wrote this short story, it so applicable to today.

Love that Brenden Dilley.
The Lion and the kitty… 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Low-Energy Ron? 🤔😂
How, exactly, does one “build crowds?” Hire a rock band to draw in younger voters? Set up styrofoam Greek columns to mimic greatness? Bus in homeless people and give ’em a McDonald’s gift card on their way out if they stay during the entire speech? Rent a smallish auditorium? Hold a raffle for free food for a week?
Really, what would compel potential voters to hear this man in person?
Well, DeSantis could have a rally, and invite Trump as the main speaker! lol
Ha, well done!!!
Mega Christian Churches. That is where most of the nevertrump, globalist base are.
Build Back Better (crowds) Ron. LOL
the Trump effect again
Almighty God is exposing everyone including the “deeply” spiritual/religious types.
Yuck. Is this true or deep fake? Yuck

It’s true. It’s been on many different sites for the last two days. With video. Unfortunately.
Here’s another report:

What does it say about American Thinker when they call it creepy “playfulness”?
It’s true.
perfect example of how someone ruins their stature in seconds.
Meatbots gotta AstroTurd.
Because everything about that small man is artificial and stage managed.
In addition to Trump, DeSantis has the Disney debacle to deal with and I believe that situation is an order of magnitude tougher for Ron than the indictment Trump is facing.
Ron is stuck. If he quits as governor and Trump trounces him, his presidential ambitions will evaporate. If he stays as governor his fight with Disney will take up more significance when examined through the magnifying glass of a future presidential candidate.
Ron is in a no win situation.
You don’t want his Lt. Governor to run the state. Trust me. Jeannette Nunez. Look up her background, a NeverTrumper, Big Hospital/Big Pharma exec, beholden to the medical tyranny regime. Florida has the most draconian health emergency laws in the nation, Newsome, Whitmore, Cuomo envied them. The literal crack whore male prostitute former mayor of Tallahassee, Andrew Gillum came within 30,000 votes out of over 8 million cast in 2018 and would’ve made NY, CA and MI look like islands of freedom in 2020-2022. And so would Nunez if ever given the chance. Floridians DO NOT want her as their governor if DeSantis moves on. I’m ok with telling him to sit down, avoid the fight with DJT, and to keep my eye on him if he pops his head up for president. But I don’t want Nunez to be like a Hochul and ascend to the throne. Bad. Bad. Bad.
Its Trump or nobody. No sloppy seconds.

I never respect or like costumes of any kind being put on an animal, but that is just darn hilarious. It is so DeSantis.
This is a Virginia school?

May be a dumb question, but as mentioned in one of your previous posts was that they always cover RdS feet – why is that? Does he wear lifts?
He often wears cowboy boots with heels because he is only about 5’8 or 5’9. The problem is not that he is short, who cares? The problem is that he is self-conscious about it.
Exactly. The only thing a guy who happens to be short has to be worried about, in his mind, is the FACT that he’s short. That fact cannot be overcome. No one else will see it as a fact to be overcome, it just is. Not a big deal, until folks who can see clearly… that he sees it as a big deal. Who cares, except he really cares. That’s not only sad but should make RDS fans seriously concerned about his quest for power and influence.
PTrump enlightens and entertains for up to two hours in his rallies. I don’t believe RDS could keep people interested for half that time. (His voice and delivery doesn’t cut it with me). I think a rally will hurt RDS.
Jeb! = Ron!
Still ain’t gonna clap….
Floridians should be screaming bloody murder about their recently elected Governor abandoning the to run for President, in direct violation of their state law, “Resign to run”.
Pure globalist BS.
Florida needs a “Ron, Come home. You have a job to do.” campaign to highlight he is always gone from the state.
Yeah, he needs to catch heat for that.
This is more an open request than an actual stratagem. They are making a call for backers to show up and work with them to stage events. It’s kind of like groupies that follow bands around. But in politics they make weird statements like this. If you read between the lines it’s a call for help. They know they won’t have the numbers in most places so they need a few thousand of these people to show up to his events and play dress up over and over. I bet wherever he goes you see the same people showing up across the country.. cuz that’s totally normal for a big fake like this hack.
So, Destablishment’s handlers are attempting to assemble thier own group of “Dead Heads”.
I wonder if Team DeSantis is on Team Dominion?
This would be more fun if they were forced to all come out dressed like wrestlers…
Why are you spamming this thread with OT posts?
Thank you.
Probably on the DeSoros payroll. Gets paid to disrupt the treehouse.
Love that meme!
America doesn’t need a pussycat for its problems! It needs a savage defender and advocate for our Constitution and FAIR justice system. SAVAGE is important!
You have a great graphics dept.!
