As expected, the Florida Senate has passed the Ron DeSantis is a liar law, permitting the Florida Governor to run without resigning, by a vote of 28-12.
The previously created Ron DeSantis media group, Florida’s Voice, celebrates the news:
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (FLV) – The Florida Senate approved an election overhaul bill Wednesday 28-12, which included a clarification to the “resign-to-run” law. The change would exempt officeholders seeking the position of U.S. president or vice president from the state’s “resign-to-run” law. (read more)
Florida’s Voice was proactively created and funded by billionaire donors, during their prior planning phase. The Florida media outlet was created at the same time the ‘social media influencer’ program was put into the DeSantis plan. This is all part of one very long continuum over multiple years. The people who put the plan together simply followed the advice of Johnathan Gruber and “relied upon the stupidity of the Florida voter” not to notice it.
Meanwhile, NBC is breaking exclusive news the Ron DeSantis team plan to launch the official announcement mid-May. Several weeks ago, after one of the official campaign contractors was hired, CTH shared what NBC is now confirming.
TALLAHASSEE — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is poised to jump into the presidential fray as soon as mid-May, four GOP operatives familiar with the conversations told NBC News.
One of the sources emphasized that it would be an exploratory committee, with the official launch coming soon after.
Some of his backers are urging him to declare as early as May 11, in an effort to counter the creeping national narrative that former President Donald Trump is the overwhelming front-runner for the 2024 GOP nomination. Others in the governor’s orbit, however, have argued that that date would be too soon, according to two of those sources. All emphasized, however, that mid-May is the target.
[…] In a clear sign of movement on the campaign front, national political vendors descended on Tallahassee this week, vying for work on DeSantis’ forthcoming campaign.
“There has been an influx of national firms in town over the last few days,” said one of the Florida Republican operatives familiar with the meetings. “It feels like a team that is staffing up, not scaling down.”
A second operative said they signal a likely presidential launch sooner than some expect, even as DeSantis has increasingly faced headwinds and fledgling poll numbers in recent months. “Large campaigns require in-house planning, and this has been ‘vendors: assemble’ week in Tallahassee,” said a third source familiar with the meetings. (read more)
Ron DeSantis is not a nice person. Actually, he is very shallow and not liked by the people in his orbit. It will be very easy to get information from the campaign folks, because they are only in it for the money. The RdS campaign will leak like the Cruz team did in 2016, same dynamic. The discovery of this is why many of the Sea Island billionaires are now pulling back from their full-throated support.d
[…]Republican megadonor Ken Griffin is reportedly hedging his bets on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ potential 2024 presidential campaign. […] Ken Griffin has since privately expressed concerns over some of DeSantis’ positions, including his quiet signing into law of the state’s strict, six-week abortion ban and his comments downplaying Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to The Times.
Griffin, the Citadel CEO with a reported fortune of almost $30 billion, has met in private with DeSantis and will “still likely” donate to him once the governor officially launches his campaign, one source predicted to the newspaper. But he may also “give to other candidates” who appear able to beat Trump, the source added. (link)
Another report:
[…] John Catsimatidis, CEO of Gristedes, knocked DeSantis’s communication skills, telling the Washington Examiner that DeSantis does not even return his phone calls. “Why would I support somebody to become president of the United States that doesn’t return phone calls?” he asked.
[…] Top Republican donor billionaire Thomas Peterffy is among mega donors who has openly put support for DeSantis “on hold” as well.
“Because of his stance on abortion and book banning . . . myself, and a bunch of friends, are holding our powder dry,” he said, adding that other donors are “waiting to see who among the primary candidates is most likely to be able to win the general, and then put all of our firepower behind them.”
Republican megadonor Ken Langone has also voiced concerns about backing DeSantis. (link)
As more voters get to see the inauthentic nature of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is generally not a very astute person and likely more driven by the tiara dreams of his wife Casey, we can expect to see his current status of around 20 to 25% remain his floor and ceiling. Additionally, as the Florida voters feel the economic crisis that DeSantis has left unattended in his quest for aggrandizement, he will likely lose his home state.
With Ron DeSantis playing the role of Ted Cruz, Mike Pence will play the role of John Kasich and Nikki Haley will play the role of Carly Fiorina as the 2016 history rhymes.
Keep in mind, the SuperPACs are fat with cash, they will drag this DeSantis run out until the coffers are empty. The consultants will all be paid from the RdS funding mechanisms, and with the RNC pumping money into stupid indulgency stuff, DeSantis represents the only campaign that can facilitate the scale of the consultant grift at the national level they demand.
The variable this time is the Republican Governor’s Association (RGA) who show every indication this time around of manipulating all their state voting systems to undermine Trump and support the DNC nominee if needed.
I’d much rather see him resign without running.
Funny! Watch Kari Lake campaign for Trump in Florida and get bigger crowds than TopGuv!
I live in FL. Trump’s shadow is (IMO} causing DeSantis to govern FL the way he is. So, so far so good here in FL. I would almost bet my bottom dollar all that would change if FRD were to become President.
So it’s full steam ahead to kneecapping Trump.
This is confirmation because
CHEF 👩🍳 BOY RD is a WEF sellout loser who couldn’t do it On his own.
It’s ashame that these mega wealthy , supposedly intelligent people , won’t put their $ behind DJT. What is their blindspot that causes them to run away from supporting DJT.? I understand the political grifters just wanting a paycheck , it just seems the unpopularity of Dipshit compared to the people’s champion ,DJT sticks out like a sore thumb.Pray and help others
There are trillions at stake. The vulture capitalists need a bought neocon, not a DJT who would rein in the power of the corporations and banks, keep peace in the world, and bring prosperity to the middle and working classes.
Control.
The vultures don’t care who is in the White House – as long as it is not Donald Trump. All they need a puppet who will sit back and enjoy the few millions they cast his way while they devour what’s left of America’s carcass.
Their blind spot is the CONTROL they are grabbing for, with everything that is within them. They haven’t got a sliver of thought of doing anything for the Nation, for the People, not even the size of a Pin Point.
Nothing is going to come between them and what they are grabbing for.
Trump cannot be controlled. He is (largely) his own man.
DeSantis, and all the other midgets begging for dollars, are auditioning for the role of neocon puppet.
The donors’ ideal candidate is the most malleable potential puppet, with the least integrity.
They’ve been doing this from the start, and they’re still at the same place, but are now on the verge of losing their place at the table for playing the village idiot.
After DeSwampass has neither the governorship or the presidency then maybe he can do a podcast with Andrew Gillum.
Or Pencil Neck Adam Shifftless
We here at CTH knew this was going to happen, and Ronna (duck lips) will do everything in her power to pave the way for him. We the people are going to have to voice our displeasure with such overwhelming numbers there will never be any doubt. On a positive note our county Republican committee voted almost unanimously (only one dissenting vote) to NOT endorse Asa. Hutchison. We cannot legally endorse a candidate in primaries but we can NOT endorse one.
The Republican Party of North Carolina held a “training session” led by a man from Arkansas. His position was that even a bad Republican candidate was better than any Democrat candidate. He praised Asa Hutchinson several times and said he had a 70% approval rating in AK.
AR is Arkansas. AK is Alaska, where maybe he does have 70% because that don’t know what a limp wrist he is.
In his dreams maybe, or with democrats but not among Republicans here in AR.
Just saw a DeSantis for president TV commercial tonight on PlutoTV in Iowa. Sponsored by Never Back Down. Apparently he’s running already in Iowa.
Pretty sure they are so pleased with themselves coming up with the Never Back Down name. I do mean giddy w/glee, it can be so funny to watch when they think they are so cool.
It’s such a stupid name… at first I was like “what does that even mean?”… then I realized it’s probably trying to play off of DeSanctus’ supposed “tough guy” image… which makes it even more pathetic…
DeSantis’ Tough Guy Image. DeSantis uses Government Power to force a company to “think correctly”.
It is exactly what the Democrats/Socialists do all day everyday. You may not agree with what Disney stands for; so, don’t go to the parks and movies. That is Freedom. Uses Government to make a company bend the knee is Socialism. DeSantis truly is UNIPARTY.
As opposed to Trump/MAGA sort of never backing down. They love the slogan for RDS because it is just a slogan. When they actually have a candidate that will never back down to the MSM, Globalists, foreign nations, bringing jobs back to the USA, closing the border, making other countries pay us for the privilege of doing business with us, and keeping promises THEN they are not big fans of never backing down.
I just saw a TV commercial for DeSantis for President here in southern New Hampshire 1st congressional district which is held by democrat Pappas. I wasn’t paying attention so missed who sponsored it.
Showing same commercials in ga…..
They’ve been running them since the day President Trump had to report to Bragg in NYC.
They are tacky and cringeworthy.
They would rather ballot harvest for the DNC than let TRUMP win again, for a third time.
The goal is for Trump to lose. DeSantis has no chance to win.
And every ounce of Republican cash will be spent to defeat fellow Republicans who don’t follow the GOPe party line. Meanwhile the Democrat plan to subvert the US goes on unabated.
Every bit of GOPe funding will be spent thus. But America First must take care of America First. We are going to have to support the candidates directly, not through WinRed or through the GOP.
And somehow, we are also going to have to fund a ballot gathering organization.
Defeats the whole resign to run concept doesn’t it? Perhaps Floridians will remember this when the Senators responsible are running for re-election.
Indeed. A rape of the spirit of The law.
The change in this law is such an obvious carve-out for RDS that it reeks of favoritism, cronyism, and lying to the voters.
IMHO DeSantis sees no downside to running in 2024. He’s flush with never Trump money and he may pull off an upset. But it’s just as likely that he’s running to position himself as the front runner in 2028.
He’s running because he is bought and paid for, and he’ll make out just fine if he loses in either the primary or in the general in 2024, because his Deep State keepers will take good care of him either way.
It is scripted that he run, then lose to Biden. Here is the talk John Brennan & Obama gave DeSantis:
Pulp Fiction | Butch: “In the fifth, my ass goes down”
For that DeSantis gets a $40 million Netflix series, book contract, speaking tour, etc.
As many people will turn out for DeSantis as for Tucker’s replacement on FoxNews, so they will probably need to manufacture ballots for DeSantis to make it look close.
Do you actually think DeSantis is going to make it to the General. Do you know what you are saying?
Do you actually believe Biden won?
What he doesn’t get is that there won’t be a single Trump MAGA supporter who will support him in 2028.
We are not going back to where we’ve been….ever!
Down with GOPe.
He’s breaking his commitment to Floridians. He does this his career is over.
No…it means DeSantis is a liar.
Front runner? after all the bridges his stooges are burning for him? Desanctimonius is a very stupid man. That’s all I’m going to say.
He has been burning TONS of bridges all by himself with his own MOUTH!
If even after he showing that he is not a man of word, that he is a traitor, and a coward, people would still vote for him…
It says as much about the people..
Yep.
Still inauthentic. And also a sleazy move by the Florida Legislature to even go forward with this.
Orders are orders, apparently.
The show must go on!
The Florida House still needs to vote on it, but looks like everyone expects it to pass. The Florida Senate sure moved fast today ushering it thru all the procedural steps to a vote in a matter of hours.
I hope President Trump responds to DeSantis’ announcement by running an advertisement that includes a montage of DeSantis’ best moments: DeSantis’ Japan bobblehead routine, his deer in headlights moment at the debate when Crist asked if he would commit to staying in Floridafor the full 4 yr term.
The material will all but write itself.
The campaign ads will be ruthless, and unfortunately for RDS, true.
It doesn’t work so great w/the Feds, but it works great in the State houses when the phones are burning. Seriously, Floridians should not let this be happening.
No, this is Best. Get it over with quickly. This kind does not endure prolonged duress well.
He asked for it, they gave it to him so he can show Fla what he is truly made of.
They have a Vested Interest in letting Fla know what they voted for.
Since I’m one of those Floridians you are referencing, the DXX issue is part of the Con. One could speculate he’s not a willing candidate. What if he was approached with “nice family you have there”, did you see the car accident in Georgia that affected Governor Kemp? In just an instant your life can change forever.
Hey DXX here is a kamikaze suit with a purple tie. His speeches don’t have his heart/soul in his delivery. Don’t forget he allowed beaches to be closed, and more importantly Churches.
Side Bar: there are many Patriotic active citizens doing the sand operations, but we still have Dominion tabulators and Konnech software running on those tabulators. The supervisor of elections in my county is very proud of this software.
Sorry meant to reply in general, not directed at RF B….
I too think this is a setup to lose Florida to Demonscat control with prebaked WEF policies made law under this “Legislative” session among other foils.
So there isn’t a new law. The “resign to run” law was clarified. Yeah, got that. Thanks for the clarification. And instead of running he might just explore the idea. Don’t look too hard.
Aw come on, man. He is running. He isn’t exploring anything.
Ron who? 🤣
DeSantis
/s
I know. What I’m saying is, even though he is weak, don’t dismiss him.
Those who are behind him are seriously against us.
Or as President Trump calls him, DeSanctus.
Root word “sanctus” == holy.
Prefix “de” == not
DeSanctus == ???
Does President Trump understand the meaning of Latin roots and prefixes?
Of course.
Does he understand Ron?
Yes.
Hopefully Americans will come to understand enough of what President Trump knows, or at least accept his guidance so the NWO Schemers are thwarted.
Yes. Our enemy.
The best trick satan has working for him is to make people think that he doesn’t exist. He works in the shadows, for he is a creature of darkness.
But he is a force that even Michael, the Archangel, claimed to the Lord to rebuke him. (In the book of Jude in the Bible)
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jude&version=NASB1995
Doughboy.
Keep an eye on the house……. the senate was a given…. the house, not so much.
Thanks Cactus! The committee looked strongly in favor. Glad to hear there is a possibilty to stop it when it reaches the floor. Fingers crossed.
CALL THEM. One of our local delegates said they start to freak when the calls come in. One or two mean nothing, but when the calls are 40-50-60 a day they pay attention. And a tip, call after hours so you don’t have to leave your zip code. Give your name and phone if asked, but by pass the zip part and tell them why you think this is unfair and a very bad thing to do. They are not going to spend the time cross checking names and zips. Direct from the source.
Meatball has an obligation to fulfill his term providing he is healthy enough, and even that doesn’t matter if you look at Mitch, Joe, Diane, Nancy and all the rest.
I’m beginning to hate this guy. He’s my governor, but he’s not governors. He’s abandoned us.
DeXX is a double-crosser…… no one likes a double-crosser……except other double crossers.
He’s already running, folks.
Weak ad.
this is a shortened version of whats been running here in iowa.they cut out the part about beating down disney.guess with disney suing him today they had to drop that like a rock.
Notice the title of the ad. “Steel” Iowa. The R’s will do ANYTHING to STEAL the primary from Trump. They have to tell us what they are going to do. We need a massive ballot harvest operation for Trump in the primary or the RNC will install DeSantis just like the D’s stole the primary from Bernie and installed Biden.
If elected POTUS, will he serve the full four-year term or will he resign early to rake in more billions after being offered leadership of both Disney and Fox News?
LOL!!!! Wherever the money is love. Wherever the money is…
It just feels…dirty. Manipulative.
Because it is.
Disloyal.
Now, if he doesn’t win (which he won’t) does that mean Floridians can get rid of him in 2024??
Unfortunately for Floridians, his govornor’s term runs thru 2026.
He won’t last that long!
Or even SOONER if they want to.
This is so wrong on so many levels. He is going to get his just due at some point it is a matter of time.
When the billionaire club and the grifter club are done with it will not be pretty. They will destroy him thoroughly. He won’t even see it coming.
Gotta be a good meme or something here. “FORD” F off Ron DeSantis. (Too late for my brain to go to smart ass mode)! 😉😂
Quitter- one who has not the courage or determination to finish what he undertakes to do.
No one should want a quitter as President in these dangerous times. Desantis is worse than a liar, he is a quitter. Every politician lies. You see far less politicians quit than lie. If the people of Florida do not believe Desantis has quit on them then they are pretending.
I’ll be surprised if he even wins the vote of his own State. Floridians are not happy about the horrendous rise in living expenses. They will not be happy that he essentially deserts the Floridians as he travels around as a Prez. candidate.
Especially on Florida’s tax dollars
Agree.
U.S. politics is IMO a part of the entertainment industry.
The world as we all know is ever changing.
Russia, China, India and several others are serious players.
Unless President Trump is elected for the third time.
The U.S. may be in for a dramatic decline.
Here in Canada our decline is well under a way.
Consent to be governed is over…
God has a plan..
Cheers!
TDS will veto the bill and then the paid for legislature will over ride his veto so he looks squeaky clean.
Who’s running Florida senate? I take it they are not team trump.
The treacherous Republican Governor’s Association is up against the sequel to the 2007-2008 Global Financial Crisis. Of course the Uniparty may keep Biden around long enough to pin the blame on him before replacing him. I think Desanctimonius will not go far in any case.
I hope Doughboy Ron gets made to look like the loser he is.
Trump will squash him.
Jeb DeSantis 2 will fail and burn thru the cash like Ron bush did in his failed campaign.
Trump has openly stated, once that I heard, he has dirt on the meatball. Sundance has openly stated, and currently reinforcing his opposition to a DeSantis candidacy.
May DeSantis live in interesting times.
For us…dump trucks of sand!
Well, isn’t that special. Crooks, all of ’em.
In the background Gavin Newsome is giving a thumbs up to DeSantus (small Meatballs).
This is akin to after the California Recall of Newsom the Democrats changing how future Recalls can be done. (Hint: making them HARDER to impliment).
Is it my turn.
Marlins should host RDS headbobble night.
Blob is your State still underwater?
I want to point out something interesting about florida voice… the founder leslie was described as a Trump supporter, who organized a bus trip for supporters to jan6, actually went inside the capitol and filmed inside the capitol, was interviewed by the fbi, and… I don’t think anything else happened after that.
Now, there have been many reports of people who stepped inside the capitol briefly, and are still in jail awaiting trial, so this seems interesting that a Trump supporter, who was at Jan6, is now running a pro-desantis media site.
article is https://www.fox4now.com/news/local-news/local-man-among-those-who-stormed-us-capitol-building
article on interview is https://winknews.com/2021/01/15/fbi-looks-for-those-who-entered-us-capitol-swfl-man-who-did-speaks/
I think Florida’s voice is one of those FAUX news outlets recently established to pretend to be nonpartisan but with an agenda of carrying political water for candidates.
It looks like Dems are trying to kneecap Kennedy by having SC go first in primaries ahead of NH. Lots of intrigue this coming up on both sides.
He supposedly running on a” law and order “platform, yet breaks the law. Oy. 😒
“Thrift store Jackie O.” Dyaummm!!! That’s gonna leave a mark.
I like Lara Logan. She is on a mission to hold DeSoros accountable. Her substack is worth reading.
That was harsh. I like it.
I will ‘one up that’…the outfit she wore, seemed to also channel a despised character….the dress, although a softer color, was extremely reminiscent of one worn by Megan Markle. Megan’s was a shade of charcoal brown or black. And that is what I thought of, not an attempt to ‘keep up with the Trumps”.
Going back to the photo op…mommy dressed to the nines…the littles, in average and every day dullish school wear attire…to a formal event.
When Ted Cruz announced, his littles were wearing very sweet, reminiscent of days gone by, party dresses.
Is that Florida censorship bill for journalists next? You know, the one that makes it illegal to criticize frauds like desantis. What was it called again? I forgot
Not yet, but the Florida Senate has passed the bill to shield DeSantis travel records from the public retroactively. Don’t know whether the Florida House has voted on it yet. Apparently the Florida GOP especially wants to hide the travel records of his taxpayer funded jet.
I think it is to shield whomever loans him a jet..
thx
“But [Griffin] may also “give to other candidates” who appear able to beat Trump”
Sit back down, Hutchinson… you’re not on The List…
Did they list those candidates who “appear” able to beat Trump?
Not that I know of… but for people like Griffin, that could just as easily be some Democrat or other Splitter, like RFK, Jr., perhaps. Their primary objective is to keep Trump out of office, not so much win an election.
They gotta find one first.
The “Club” is doing same old thing never learns. Trump supporters needs to BudLite the political world and stay home. Quit being tormented by the Fake and False show that is America now.
They have learned nothing and have forgotten nothing… where have I heard that before?
So Meatball has had a book tour, a tour of states to supposedly fundraiser for other candidates, now a foreign tour, and soon will launch his campaign tour. What happened to the state he signed up to govern? Left behind?
Book tours are about money laundering next he will be selling his art work.
“the Ron DeSantis is a liar law”
bwahahaha!
“Don’t forget the cannoli”
He was doing so well… until the Jeb!ites got a hold of him.
What’s interesting is that Haley started attacking him over Disney:
This is probably because Trump went after Ron over Disney, and she’s working the foil angle. RGA fingerprints all over the place. They smelled blood in the water over this Truth post: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/110220068407907874
However, PDJT made it clear he was pointing to the economic angle. It’s hard to counter the woke stuff when you can’t put bread on the table. This is what Con Inc. doesn’t get, even the well-intentioned talking heads. The escalation over the culture wars makes us look like we’re winning while the Uni-party rubs their hands with glee and sells yet another industry out to Xi.
Nikki doing the “mirror mirror on the wall” thing…….she better be careful she doesn’t eat her own poisoned apple.
Haley, while question was still being asked: blink, blink, blink…….
I would argue Haley started the woke BS with tearing down a statue as governor.
BUT, IN THE END, this video reminds me of this video…
I was horrified to hear Wednesday evening that Trump is “said to be considering” Ron DeSanctimonious
as a running mate.
As Deeply as I believe that Trump is Our Isaiah 45:1-8 & Abraham/Moses/David/ Cyrus/Darius/ George Washington, I tell you, when I saw that, my heart sank deeper than I ever would have believed that ANYTHING President Donald John Trump Senior was capable of doing – could POSSIBLY come anywhere NEAR, driving my faith in him (because I so strongly believe he is God’s Man, in America, even as Netanyahu is for Israel…
I cannot mark my ballot for a ticket with Ron DeSwampRat/HAMAN/King Saul/Judas Iscariot/Belshazzar/(Let’s Face it – To ME -) Hitler/Stalin/Mussolini/Joe Biden/Odrama Queen the GOG/ and Bill Clinton included on it.
There is another glaring name that belongs on that compilation…..Soros & Son/Klaus Schwab/Yuval Noah Harari/Bill Gates/Faux Chi!!!
This is VISCERAL – something down in my guts like the man with a van at the children’s playground, and he’s got a bag of candy for some “good little boy or girl” who will come play pattycake with him.
DeSwampRat would sell his own mother, in a hot New York Millisecond. For even 50¢, if that was the best deal he could make.
I pray with all that is within me that that EVIL ASSIGNMENT from the Pit of Hell be Broken and Bound up and sent back on the head of the one who created that assignment from Hell.
I’ve met demons from hell that didn’t ruffle my feathers like that man does. Literally.
When a human wants something so deeply viscerally THAT WAS NOT APPOINTED UNTO HIM, under ANY circumstances… That is a very dangerous person.
“The variable this time is the Republican Governor’s Association (RGA) who show every indication this time around of manipulating all their state voting systems to undermine Trump and support the DNC nominee if needed.”
Not only this but ballot stuffing and voting machine manipulation also.
Is desantis going to be another fraud president who stole an election?
If what Sundace says comes true maga very lite will be another fraud puppet elected in 2024.😳👀🥹
I have not read the private blog… anything you can share?
If they were so confident he could win, they wouldn;t need
to do that..
If I was in Florida I’d be studying the rules around Recall of a State Officer (i.e. governor).
We are.
Sundance, you were right. Once you see the strings, they can’t be unseen.
Spit.
I can’t wait to see what kind of stupid face he pulls when he finds out there is Recall petition with his name on it. Apparently, the Legislature can’t stand ron! either and want him out of Tallahassee, ASAFP. That’s ok, we will primary their asses, that is if public opinion actually matters when voting anymore.
