…. “There are Trillions at Stake!”
2,600 people at $15/hr is $39,000 per hour. Anticipating 1,000 hrs per campaign worker, that’s $39 million. At $25/hr that’s $65 million. At $40/hr that’s $104 million.
This is the scale of spending that Ken Cuccinelli and Jeff Roe have for the Never Back Down SuperPAC to support Governor Ron DeSantis in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada on behalf of the Sea Island billionaires who want to manipulate the 2024 election. That’s just payroll for new hires.
Overall, the New York Times is reporting a campaign support spending plan of more than $200 million. Essentially, these are payments from the billionaire Wall Street donors and multinationals, funneled through the SuperPAC, to influence the ’24 election. The context of the New York Times report sounds accurate.
NYT – A key political group supporting Ron DeSantis’s presidential run is preparing a $100 million voter-outreach push so big it plans to knock on the door of every possible DeSantis voter at least four times in New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina — and five times in the kickoff Iowa caucuses.
The effort is part of an on-the-ground organizing operation that intends to hire more than 2,600 field organizers by Labor Day, an extraordinary number of people for even the best-funded campaigns.
Top officials with the pro-DeSantis group, a super PAC called Never Back Down, provided their most detailed account yet of their battle plan to aid Mr. DeSantis, whom they believe they can sell as the only candidate to take on — and win — the cultural fights that are definitional for the Republican Party in 2024.
The group said it expected to have an overall budget of at least $200 million, including more than $80 million to be transferred from an old DeSantis state political account, for the daunting task of vaulting the Florida governor past former President Donald J. Trump, who has established himself as the dominant early front-runner.
[…] “No one has ever contemplated the scale of this organization or operation, let alone done it,” said Chris Jankowski, the group’s chief executive. “This has just never even been dreamed up.”
In Iowa, the group has opened a boot camp on the outskirts of Des Moines, giving the facility the code name “Fort Benning,” after the old Army training outpost, with 189 graduates of an eight-day training program the first wave of an organizing army to follow. Door knocking begins on Wednesday in New Hampshire.
The endeavor echoes the “Camp Cruz” that Senator Ted Cruz’s 2016 presidential campaign set up near Des Moines.
[…] At the helm of the DeSantis super PAC is Jeff Roe, a veteran Republican strategist who was Mr. Cruz’s campaign manager in 2016. In an interview, Mr. Roe described an ambitious political apparatus whose 2,600 field organizers by the fall would be roughly double the peak of Senator Bernie Sanders’s entire 2020 primary campaign staff.

When people ask about individuals, people, groups and media platforms that have joined the DeSantis effort…. Follow the money!
In deep Republican politics, ideology -the policy of politics- is a tool. The end goal is always money. Democrats want power, Republicans want money. Democrats use money to gain power; Republicans use power to get money. This is the core difference in their business model. This truism is also why there’s no pushback to the ideological policy of the Democrats. Republicans can simply be paid off.
When your ideology is first and foremost about money, all of the policy and advocacy is subject to the financial prism. Yes, it really is that simple.
The people paying for the Ron DeSantis campaign are investing in their future. They need to control the policy outcome, and that means they need to get rid of the only thing that will interrupt their influence and affluence, Donald J. Trump. Again, yes, it really is that simple.
The RNC doesn’t care about voter fraud, election integrity or other metrics inside the election system. The RNC ambivalence is directly because the two wings of the UniParty operate on this premise. The ideology of the Democrats drives their donor activity (see Zuckerberg), whereas the donors of the Republicans drive the ideology.
DeSantis cannot win the nomination on issues of economic policy. It is the economic policy that impacts the Billionaire Wall Street donors and multinationals. The donors are paying for an economic control outcome. That is why we are seeing such an emphasis on cultural issues from the Sea Island strategy, as displayed in the policy emphasis of Ron DeSantis.
$200 million for four states is nothing when contrast against the scale of money at risk for the Sea Island donors. It’s a Big Club, and we are only able to be in the fight because Donald J. Trump is in the battle.
The goal of the people who have traditionally controlled political outcomes is to remove Donald Trump. The goal is not to win the ’24 election. The goal is to remove the threat that Donald Trump represents.
There is only one force standing between Wall Street and the destruction of what remains of Main Street…. MAGA!
Love it Sundance, you always push home these points! Now the one thing that the RINO bunch have just not yet understood, which is in contrast to the Dems, is that you can have 2,600 canvassers but it doesn’t really mean squat in the end if your candidate is not bristling with charm and charisma! That is why the Dems have in the last three election cycles have so heavily focused in on collecting ballots! You pointed out recently that elections these days are about collecting ballots! It is something, if people have paid attention, that you are starting to hear A BUNCH FROM THE TRUMP FOLKS, especially when you move into the general election! It appears that the Trump camp is seriously pushing to get after it in the ballot collection process!
Unfortunately, we cannot overcome the demonrats and their harvesting.
Jay Valentine has the software to manipulate the voter rolls ahead of democrats and no republican is contacting him except a few.
Mitch and friends make more money in the minority pretending to be a protection racket.
He makes a bundle selling Republican votes!
Mitch is Schumer’s deputy.
I have been reading Jay Valentine’s articles and telling anyone who will listen about the technology that he has created to correct the voter rolls for a couple of years now or more. Alas, no one is listening within the Republican Party to my information here in Maricopa County.
Trump openly stating that he is setting up a similar operation horrifies the powers that be. The whole thing only really works if the other team takes the high ground.
The fact is that democrats have been really uncontested before Trump shoeed that you could fight fire with fire.
MAGA or Bust. Bare your teeth.
Jay Valentine is another RINO grifter.
Catherine Engelbrecht and True the Vote are the people to trust.
Meatball(Please clap!) is following the the highly not successful Bloomberg campaign strategy. Throw money at everyone and everything.
Can we even imagine how he’d run a budget? Has DeSantis ever sign the front of a paycheck? I believe he’s either been in school or getting a government check, military Service, Congress, Governor.
He was a teacher that “partied” with his under-age students.
The NYT has the photos…Or so it it is said?
He’s just another paid-for Songbird McStain and Pierre Delecto?
His Bobblehead thing will probably take him down?
Like Howard Dean’s “AARGGGHHH”?
Dukakis, the helmet, and the tank?
Can Ron spell “potato”? Just asking?
Desantis is Skull and Bones and which makes men do gay blowjobs for entrance.
St. Elmo’s Club, not S & B. One of the 8 “secret societies” at Yale.
https://americans4innovation.blogspot.com/2022/06/ron-desantis-fails-acid-test-of-loyalty.html
DeSantis is buying his new job, and it isn’t POTUS.
What new job would that be, please?
Dog Catcher!
I’m thinking we should start a recall campaign. We Florida voters were lied to and DeSantis used a bait and switch tactic on us. We were betrayed and he thinks that’s fine. No honor.
. He never planned to be governor for four years although he campaigned for the job. I wonder how much money he spent on that campaign
The rest of the USA is watching and waiting to see what Floridians do to this shyster and snake oil salesman.
It would be a shame if some clever MAGA loyalists with the gift of gab filled these positions.
Demand top-pay from the billionaires, then go forward and cleverly stump for Trump on their dime.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhh………….
Precisely. Take a page out of the RINO playbook but this also applies to posing as a Demotard and infiltrate all the polling stations etc as a registered Democrat.
Just think how rich it would be to see some Lefty of some importance, shift over the Republican side! I don’t think the Left would know what to do! The alphabet media stations would be a picnic to watch!
Joe Manchin might switch…To keep his Red WV Senate seat?
Tulsi? Probably not?
If the Democrats beat-up RFK Jr. like I think they will…Would he switch?
JFK and RFK policies would be on the Right now?
“Ask not what your country can do for you…”?
That would get boos at a Dem. event.
Joe Manchin will not switch. His revenue streams are with Democratic infrastructure. He’ll fight the good fight and take his place with the likes of Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney.
I’ll be wrapped in my “No More Bullshit” Trump flag when Ron’s Minions come knocking.
If they recoil, I’ll know who they are…For Ron or for Don?
If it’s Ron, I’ll keep them talking as long as I can…To slow them down?
I have talked down Jehovah Witnesses before.
These will be low paid flunkies?
Maybe we can turn them to MAGA?
Tie them up with I interviews and training.
Approved!
I thought of watching rich, smug, out of touch assholes light money on fire warms my innards. The Jeb! Ted! Ron! Crew would never be able to peel enough voters away from Trump to matter in a straight up fight. The two caveats being that general elections and democrat primaries are routinely rigged, so why not the republican primary? And secondly, I assume that Ron! And his paymasters already know that the criminal mafia at the DOJ/FBI plan to take Trump off the board with a rigged trial in the Imperial City. Or they’ll just have him Arkancided. God help us if they go so far.
If those people care about how they are remembered historically, they won’t Arkancide DJT. Whatever they do will be revealed in the future.
They don’t believe in a hereafter. They don’t care.
They’d be better held back worrying about their own skins or those of their families.
They murdered JFK. They are souless.
I keep hearing you can send money to Trump outside of winRed
I will never donate to them again
They actually stole $200dollars from me amd it made me
Have to cancel my credit card, so many automatic payments
It’s disgusting
But you have to fill out info like work
Retirement etc
So how do you do it amd
Where is it absolutely going to get to his campaign
With ANY political campaign donation, by any method, according to FEC rules, the campaign MUST collect info on who you are.
Otherwise you could be a CCP operative!
So, your going to have to give them your identifying info, even if you send a personal check.
In yesterdays thread, I THINK it was Presidential, sunrei did a,whole series of excellent posts, over and over addressing ALL of this, and answering your questions.
I suggest you look there.

WinRed is a credit processor. The RNC requires all GOP candidates use WinRed to process credit card donations.
People have been showing up on CTH recently trying to discourage people from donating. If you don’t want to donate via WinRed there is an alternative:
You can donate by personal check. Here’s how:
Step One: Go to DonaldJTrump.com.
Step Two: Mid-Page is a link to the donation page which has a PDF donation form. Download the form.
Step Three: Complete the donation form —the basic info is required by campaign finance law.
Step Four: Make out the check as instructed
Step Five: Mail with the donation form to the address provided.
Thanks for posting this.
WinRed takes 3.9% and the rest goes to the candidate. USPS is way cheaper!
And a lot more devious than you can ever imagine.
You might want to put tracking on that.
Thanks! Never thought of that, but you’re probably right!
USPS won’t deliver your checks to Trump.
Try UPS.
FEDEX is Globalist.
There’s ANOTHER WAY, too! The Right.US donation site was bought by Anedot, the granddaddy of donation platforms, and now has a donation roster that will send donations to conservative and MAGA candidates and orgs. I use it exclusively. http://Www.Right.us.
Now, we have to get Walkaway, Kash Patel, and Dtphen Miller’s legal org to add their names to this list, so we can donate!
I refuse to use the lying, grifting, greedy WR for ANYTHING.
No, please don’t do that!
I spoke with the senior VP at the firm that is managing President Trump’s campaign finances. He told me that the RNC requires that WinRed be used as the credit card processor.
If a candidate bypasses WinRed and uses some other credit card processor the RNC punishes the candidate.
Personal checks are fine too. Go to DonaldJTrump.com and print out the donation form and provide the donor info required by FEC election law. Make out the check as instructed and mail to the address provided.
To clarify I was responding to Missy’s suggestion.
If you don’t want to use WinRed, you can always send a peronal check. See zoom’s comment upthread on the steps to sending a check. Easy to do.
We need to bury the RNC.
Unless you donate to the DNC.
My suggestion is to donate directly to the candidate’s campaign committee by check. It saves the 3.9%. Just include the required information. WinRed or Anedot are both payment processors and usually up to candidate which one he or she uses.
The Dems use ActBlue. There is something really wrong with this though. Huge money laundering going on at all levels via ActBlue. Not sure the how, but something is going on. It’s so obvious when if you read the FEC and even the state level reports.
They did that to me. I thought I was sending a one time payment and somehow it turned into monthly auto payments. WinRed is Ronna McDaniels flower business.
RE automatic donations: When you donate by credit card make sure you do not check an autopay box. Or follow the instruction at DonaldJTrump.com to pay by personal check.
WinRed is just a company that proceses credit cards for a small fee (normal for cc processors).
Other than the cc processing fee, 100% of the donation goes to the campaign and/or pac. You can customize whether you want 100% to the campaign and 0% to the pac or any allocation in between.
By law the campaign will receive WinRed processed credit card donations within 10 days.
If you want to confirm you payment was received by the campaign go to the FEC website where you can browse by your name or by the campaign. (updated quarterly)

https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/
sensing a shift from donation suppression to donation diversion, which – as you rightly point out –
comes with PENALTIES to PDJT’s campaign.
suspect this will only intensify.
100% support your effort to get FACTUAL info out to readers –
outstanding job, sunrei.
and a suggestion regarding the “recurring donation” issue :
yes, cc donating can be tricky for some.
you have to click “no”
when asked “do you want to make this a monthly donation?”;
or “double”, “triple”, your donation, etc.
perhaps a friend or family member could help
those having difficulty through the process to avoid any mixups?😊
3.9% is NOT a “small fee”. It is outrageous. If you feel the need, donate directly.
Many, many small donors had their credit cards charged as a monthly auto-donation, and sued WR. Got back about $121 MILLION in refunds from that scam.
The suit might still be open, you should check. Serve them right…Scumbags.
Scumbags is too good a word for them.
I guess you can join NY AG Letitia James in going after WinRed, if she isn’t too busy going after DJT.
The GOP Establishment know this is their last chance. If Trump wins they are toast. If their Cem comrades win, they will no longer need them and the GOP is toast. So DeSantis is their last chance to get the Uniparty restored.
MAGA 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
How much cold hard cash would it take for any of you Florida Treehousers to go door to door here in your neighborhoods and beyond and repeatedly hard sell ron! for ’24 to your people?
Kids learn fast after being taught. Start the first line the whole chorus starts with kids laughing and imitating the movements in the ad
We can’t afford Ron DeSalesTax
Very catchy
DJT should demand that this ad be retracted. It is working against him, among those who might be acquainted with legislative initiatives designed to eliminate the evil & confiscatory income tax.
A national sales tax might be designed to exempt basic needs and raise revenue by taxing more discretionary purposes. It would eliminate the 5th Amendment violation of the intrusive tax code.
Go to donaldjtrump.com and sign up to volunteer. When the President first got indicted, 16,000 people signed up to volunteer.
So did Jeb!
I’ve been having fun watching DeSantis supporters try and trash DJT. “He invited Bruce Jenner to the White House! He won’t protect your kids from trans groomers!” Like Mr. Jenner was anything other than a harmless freak at the time. I’m trying to remember Ron DeSantis warning us about trans and groomers in 2016 – 2020. I’m trying to remember him warning us about the Deep State and the Russia hoax. I’m trying to remember him telling us that COVID was released from a lab in Chy-na, and warning us that Tony Fauci and Deborah Birx were frauds. My memory is bad. I don’t even remember him forcing DJT to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem after (another0 one of DJT’s racist, anti-semitic tirades. Heck, I even forgot about him being a SEAL operator and being a carrier fighter pilot to boot. I’m probably the kind of low-information, sloping-forehead troglodyte that votes for Trump.
I’d rather have Bruce Jenner in the White House than a Dominion lawyer any day of the week.
Sounds to me like you have a GREAT memory.
When Trillions are at stake and influential creeps realize they are guilty of Treason, This happens:
WATCH:

This is VIDEO EVIDENCE from Maricopa County’s own livestream (they didn’t know we were recording) that shows officials breaking into machines AFTER they were tested & sealed
They re-programmed the memory cards right before Election Day… causing 60% of polling locations in GOP area to stop working. This is SABOTAGE!
Kari aint done fighting for us yet.
And this happens…
Wow, blatant in our face cheating scum
OMG!!! So stolen. No wonder Kari is fighting this.
These asshole Americans need to go to jail.
It’s kind of sad that Yeb, Ted and rotten Meatball are literally the best they can do.
If they can do Branden and Fetterman, they can literally do anything they want.
They don’t pick the best, silly, they pick the weakest and most easily corrupted.
BINGO! No one with any morals or courage. THAT is the problem with so many of our citizens, and almost ALL our politicians!!!
True! ROFLOL! If it weren’t so serious—and that’s an understatement!
I just can’t dig DeSantis.
First of all, he just doesn’t look like a President. He strikes me as a supervisor at McDonalds or something.
Second, he changed the law that barred him from running in the first place. That is so corrupt to core. His attitude is, if the law is in your way, just change it. Not cool!
DeSantis’ heart is wrong.
Then taking into account his donors. The “Sea Island” club.
DeSantis is one them Decepticons!
Trump will rip the mask off. He has a way of doing that.
I think he kind of looks like Ronald McDonald.
I think he looks like Ernie, from Sesame St.

Supervisor at McDonald’s! 😂🤣🤣
I don’t think he’d cut it as a manager at ANY fast food establishment!
Trump’s first endorsement of DeSantis gave him a 27 point spread in the primary. The ungrateful ole coot!

If we lived in one of those States and someone knocks on our door four times, you can bet we would never vote for their candidate. They might bypass our home because of the YUGE TRUMP 2024 flag, though.
I don’t live in one of those states but I wonder how Trump supporters who do live there can best throw sand in the machine.
Do they post signs supporting President Trump so the door knockers pass them by? Do they invite the door knockers in and refute all their DeSantis selling points, possibly convert them to Trump supporters? Do they invite the door knockers in and see how much time they can waste with questions about DeSantis which will inflate the campaign’s door knocker bill? Do they lie to the door knocker and say they support DeSantis, thus skewing the campaign polling numbers?
What’s the best play here?
Waste their time
Standard game is to waste as much time as possible with the door knocker. Dems love to do this. They even have talking points on how to delay the Rep door knockers. A big one last few elections was “Oh I’m a life long Republican but I will never vote for Trump.” That means the house is a Democrat. I knocked on thousands of doors. No Republican house ever said that.
All this to lose the 24 election. The leftists will never allow a republican in the WH again.
Only if we fail to fight for the office. The dims are vulnerable.
The Dems are scared of Trump. Fight one last time.
Now we are seeing the phony MAGA join in on the Jeb Santis Cruz ship. Smells like Fox News here.
Ridiculous. Where did you see that? Link?
I think the whole idea is pretty scary. Knocking on strangers doors, trying to talk you up, sell you a backstabbing MAGA traitor and ask for your ballot?
I just don’t see that being very successful recruiting practice and if my Husband opened the door to that, I think it would get pretty ugly, really fast. This isn’t a very good idea at all.
I forgot to mention, he will turn the sprinklers on if he can’t get to the hose fast enough. I’ve watched him do it!
Your husband needs to do a video Master Class on Rumble.
Thank God for Sundance!
Sundance pulls it all together.
We can;t wait to vote for President Trump and will do all possible in volunteering to make that happen.
If President Trump doesn’t get in, it’s over for the U.S..
Things are getting interesting, to say the least.
Look at the videos from Kari Lake’s Warroom.
I’m confused. Wall Street had 3 of its best years ever under Trump. If not for Covid it would have been 4.
Also, why doesn’t Trump do the same thing and have 3,000 people? He has more supporters than DeSantis so it would be easy for him to do
Wallstreet is about dismantling America and selling it to China. Trump was stopping China.
China declared war on the United States in April 2019.
If you knock on my door five times, we’re gonna have a problem. And it don’t matter who your candidate is.
Puerto Rico? Interesting.
Yes, I am Batwoman.
First Lady Melania would make the most beautiful Batwoman ever.
I predict his campaign will be dead by Labor Day.
I really wonder who thought that Jeb! was really electable right after his brother’s presidancy. There was enough distance between HW and W, and Al Gore being so uncarismatic that he could win. I also think that them both being govenors of two different states was a bit too obvious
I also wonder if FL is being used to establish conservitive boni fides and make a DeSantis more attractive to the base. The fact that FL is a large state and that states typicly vote for the home team guy is a bonus. Allowing FL to move right could be a stratagy.
Looks like it’s moving left if you dig.
$200 million buys a lot of meatballs, but the votes will be for President Trump. Sorry Ronnie, maybe better luck next time.
Sand in the gears opportunity. Sign up and sabotage the bums and get paid to boot.
This just proves the point that DeSantis is the next to last big weapon that the Deep State and the demoncrats have to use against Trump and us.
The last weapon they have is AI. It will allow the candidate of choice to win with slowly increasing margins through voting day so that it all looks natural and negates the need for Dominion ballot spikes at 4AM.
It sounds like a lot of money is being taken from the good citizenry of Florida. State wide property taxes up and going to go up again next month. Check it out.
Trust your instincts…

Can anyone explain when RD sends his presidential campaign email looking for $$$ and you click to unsubscribe this link comes up.
What does RD compaign have to do with defending PDJT
http://links.defenddjt.com/e/encryptedUnsubscribe?
I suggest that if you do not want a visit from the DeceptiCON RON! Crusaders you put a MAGA sign in your yard.
According to the leaked audio from their Dialing For $$$ Lockdown event, their targets do not include MAGA. MAGA is unacceptable to them, but they will go for America Firsters. They assume there is a difference.
Listen for yourself:

I was thinking I would meet them at the door with a cross that had a stake at both ends. Vampires really shouldn’t be let out during daylight hours.
BTW, I conquered at least one of their bots today on Rumble. They are all over Rumble with their lies about President Trump and COVID lockdowns. I countered one with the fact that President Trump was pushing to reopen the country by Easter 2020. They called me a liar. I told them to look it up and came back with this:
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/24/coronavirus-response-trump-wants-to-reopen-us-economy-by-easter.html
I was met with glorious silence.
Just like the Grand Old Party, they can just get away with hiring people to do their work for them. What is 100 million bucks among friends? DeSantis should bail out and throw his support to Donald Trump, since he can’t even win re-election in Florida by opposing Trump.
Too bad a good Governor got greedy for more power, when he could have been a very good Governor. Trump needs to focus on what MAGA wants and forget worrying about DeSantis.
A little background on Jeff Roe.
He came on scene 20 years ago working to get Sam Graves (R) MO-6 elected to House. Since he views himself as a kingmaker heavily involved in Missouri politics. With his company in place he moved to Texas and moved next door to Ted Cruz, thus becoming his campaign advisor. In Missouri his company works for both parties. If you don’t hire him he puts the squeeze on you, and will primary you.
His track record for victories is not stellar but that doesn’t matter. His company is about profits and not at all about real beliefs in patriotic views. Though his PAC has helped some good candidates. It has also ramrodded other good candidates.
Last August one of the paid door knockers from Americans for Prosperity stopped by and we chatted. The worker was happy to get paid well but not the same emotional commitment of a grass root volunteer. Jeff Roe may hire a ton of these to knock doors in Iowa, etc. But a dedicated group of volunteers have a better connection. This is what we need. – Volunteers!
One more tidbit.
Where I live, the Democrat door knockers are all union workers (volunteers of course). They don’t really knock on doors. They just drop off the literature. They can swarm a neighborhood fast and cover a lot of doors quickly.
