Ron DeSantis is heading to the Big Apple to reunite with his Yale alumni and accept a boost in capital for his ailing campaign.
The $6,600/plate appearance is the latest effort by Team DeSantis to connect to the ordinary working class voter he needs to try and regain footing after his effort has fallen short of the Sea Island billionaires’ expectations.
The Yale Club appearance tomorrow is more friendly terrain for the Florida governor, a return to those who are at the root of his political career.
(Via NBC) – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is coming to New York for a private presidential campaign fundraiser that’s set to be hosted by at least four Wall Street executives, including one with past ties to a firm backed by liberal billionaire George Soros, a frequent target of DeSantis and other Republicans.
The event is scheduled to take place June 29 at the swanky Yale Club, according to a copy of an invitation seen by CNBC. It will be one of DeSantis’ first fundraisers in the Big Apple since he officially launched his campaign for president last month.
The hosts listed on the DeSantis invitation include Paul Ardire, a partner at GoldenTree Asset Management, along with Christian Michalik, Rob Michalik and Corwynne Carruthers, who are all leaders at Kinderhook Industries, a private equity firm with at least $5 billion in assets under management, according to data from PitchBook. GoldenTree has at least $50 billion in assets under management, PitchBook says. (read more)
Despite the combined efforts of Rupert Murdoch, Ken Griffin, Elon Musk, the Sea Island billionaires, hedge fund managers, Wall Street groups and a host of multinational corporations, recent polling shows the richest fundraiser in the GOP field has failed to gain traction with the lesser controllable voters.
Additionally, the purchased right-side media, Daily Wire, Salem Inc. and a strong coalition of “conservative influencers” are producing diminishing returns. The former Team Cruz crowd is pushing hard, but it becomes a complicated dynamic of influence when they must pretend they are not aligned with Jeb and the Bush clan.
Alas, a brief reprieve from the pretending with a Yale Club booster confab is sure to recharge the spirit of DeSantis, as he enters a full-throated albeit transparently desperate, phase of his six-minute-abs campaign.
DeSantis is now promising to use tariffs against Mexico, break up the federal government and attack the FBI and DOJ in a last-ditch effort to convince the suspicious crowd that his association with the spooks from Skull and Bones is only an optical illusion. The tiaras of Casey are contingent upon selling a carefully branded narrative, that thus far has not captured enough of the sheeple masses for success.
Meeting with the Yale Club is sure to boost morale.
[…] DeSantis and the event’s co-hosts have ties to the fundraiser’s venue due to them all being Yale graduates. Yale Club members can only be those who received a degree from the Ivy League school or “full-time graduate students who are completing a degree-granting program at Yale, and full-time professors,” according to their website.
DeSantis graduated from Yale in 2001. DeSantis said in a book released just before he ran for president that he viewed earning a degree from Yale was the equivalent of being a political “scarlet letter” in a Republican primary. (more)

Yuri’s “elite” university rankings…
“#2 Yale is forever chasing Harvard through cringe mimicry. Their law students appear to hold Kendi in higher regard than the Constitution. Coming soon to a kangaroo court near you:
“On February 28, Robin Fierce, a former contestant on the reality TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race, read “Antiracist Baby” and two other children’s books to dozens of Yale Law students, the Yale Daily News reported this week.”

Meatball serving up rubber chicken to elites. You know Meatball will count this as a rally.
Does the average voter they want to connect with even have $6.60 for a snack at the vending machine???
Ron is trying way to hard to ‘fit in’ with the cocktail class, yet the truth of it is…he does not fit in…anywhere. Rather, he seems to be good at ‘following directions’….no critical thinking has been observed.
An evening opportunity for the “cocktail class” to meet their latest servant.
Because good help is so hard to find these days……..
Ouch!
They demand ‘blind obedience’ for their $$$.
Ah they have taken the info gleened from RDS influencers that have infested this site, posting variations of “what would it take, why not RDS, suppose its only RDS, etc. and our responces on WHY only Trump” and are way too late in the game, trying to pander to MAGADOSIANS.
It WON’T WORK.
But, its amusing to see them try, lol.
And his previous experience in “breaking up the Federal Govt” and why would he “attack the DOJ and FBI” when they are currently involved in election interference against his opponent?
Wouldn’t he be more likely to say “Good job guys, thanks! I couldn’t have gotten elected withoit you….I OWE you my Presidency!”
And had a lot if experience with International trade, and tariffs, has he?
LOL, they are STILL shooting blind, as much as anything because of their own hubris.
That was damn prescient, Dutch!
Discussing the results of their recon/influence operation.
Lots of tears in their beers!
“What are we going to do now? It’s always worked in the past.”
Their ‘playbook’ is obsolete and they don’t have a viable plan except desperate measures.
A little football analogy here, they are running the single wing offense while the Pres DJT operation is running the modern West Coast Spread Offense!!! 🤔
With you on that.
And they don’t even have a clue that their playback is obsolete.
Sure is amusing Dutchman! God Bless!
Why do I feel like were watching the modern day version of Mel Gibson’s Braveheart, with Trump as Braveheart and all of the conniving tribal clan leaders stabbing him in the back?
Come to think of it, Hillary does sort of look like Longshanks when he was on his deathbed. The expression on his face when Princess Isabelle told him she was carrying Wallace’s child. Is that what Hillary looked like when she was told she lost the election to Trump?
I heard Killary was throwing objects around like Slick Willie had just told her he had a love child he was going to reveal.
Ronald the Bruce living up to the back-stabbing character in the movie…
Nothing says grassroots like a $6600/plate dinner.
Exactly!
I will give him all of my crab grass roots for 66 hundred’rt
Lol
Had my son weeding the garden this evening!
Got about 33,000 worth of the weeds for him.
Btw
Has Ron DeSanctous publicly called for Biden and his AG to resign?
My grass is supposed to choke out crabgrass. But, out here in the desert, nothing grows thick enough to choke out anything else. Crabgrass is clearly winning the battle in my yard. 🙂
PS- I’m sorry you have this problem with your yard. Misery loves company, I reckon.
Resignation words are in the “pending file” for approval from his snake handlers and Casey
I can’t even afford a pint of blueberries! Yeah I’ll vote for RD! NOT!!!! Lol
It seems that Ron is on the wrong track. Sucking up to the enemy is not the strategy that will deliver votes from patriots.
He must be trying for the “Man from Nantucket” award, sucking up to himself and others like him…
Meatball is going to be the 2024 version of Jeb Bush.
Meatball is just playing by the book, but nobody is apparently reading the same book.
DeSantis is a puppet lead by his string pullers. He’s deserted his term to serve the people of Florida. Why? Evidently he actually thinks he can beat the greatest leader in the world. Donald J. Trump.
UM, the Suffern Crowne Plaza is not the Yale Club in NYC.
R D is NOT a people person, he would do well to study how Trump interacts with people. When I had a small business one car sales man stood out, and catured top sales spot 3 out of 4 years running, and his success was due to how he treated people, not just customers, but also suppliers, like me. When discussing that success with a much younger sales person, I told the young man to srydy the successful one, and emulate, pointing out that all people are equally important to success.
And we must be like Christ first and foremost.
Even though this article from NBC News does its best to prop up Meatball Rod, realize that when you read this article that it doesn’t mention Rod’s opinion about the economics that harmed Ohio and West PA.
Rod doesn’t mention America First economics and his family is from friggin YOUNGSTOWN and his wife is from near Dayton, too.
Are they ashamed or just too beholden to the New York City idiot Wall Street globalists?
Additionally, his family being involved in counting votes in Youngstown in the 60s and 70s is every bit as damn corrupt as the 2020 election, which Rod ALSO won’t talk about.
His family was described as establishment. Go figure.
The whole thing stinks worse than me after a long bike ride or hot yoga.
Keep in mind this is an NBC puff piece:
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/midwest-roots-shaped-ron-desantis-political-values-youngstown-ohio-rcna73797
Rod and Jillary barely mention their ties to Ohio. Why?
Their Wall Street & DC hedge fund managers don’t care about the Rust Belt or want it discussed.
It’s a total joke.
PS, today….your snake speaker of the House Kevin (looks like Melissa) McCarthy had lunch with JOHN BOEHNER at the Montgomery Inn in Cincinnati and it’s on the Montgomery Inn Facebook page today.
Are we supposed to not notice? If I was on Twitter…I’d send it to Laura Loomer. Maybe she’ll see this…lol.
Hope they liked the ribs. I’m sure John ran up a $10,000 drink tab.
Interesting and odd. Apparently his mom was a nurse and dad installed Nielson rating boxes, not sure how they got to be establishment, but there is never any mention of ties to PA and Ohio to where his grandparent immigrated to from Italy. Wiki clearly states his parents met at Youngstown and then moved to Florida, I have never seen a picture of his parental units, course it isn’t really that important, they did produce a Meatball, but if they are still living and healthy does he ever bring them out to events?
I never paid much attention because everyone focuses on him being native Floridian. So like don’t they go back to visit the grandparents once in a while? You would think he would mention roots to the Mid-West and be proud of it.
I didn’t know he was worth a little over 300 grand and has student loan debt. Doesn’t the military pay off those debts? He left a LT. Commander. Not like he served a year and then split. Maybe he should ask Joey to forgive his loans?
Philip Rogers. Grandfather of the meatball:
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — In 1960, political scandal erupted at the Board of Elections in Mahoning County, Ohio. The Republican secretary of state, furious because voting machines hadn’t worked properly during the May primary, ordered a housecleaning that swept out a Democratic boss and installed Philip Rogers, a loyal GOP insider, as director.

Please check the Towhall straw poll today and you will see that among Republicans Gov. D. is doing pretty good. Closing on the Donald
Uh-huh.
The Uniparty Meatball is going nowhere.
Agreed
Dat weed must be good
i just saw that too and they always in the bag for him, I dont believe the polls that his pac and one other poll puts out about him, but then who knows just cant believe it
You mean the Townhall group who openly pimp for RDS in every article.
Their poll would be as fake as they come as in worth nothing.
Yes, that’s the one that comes up on a daily basis and they are always talking about how great he is doing
and how much support he has. there is another interactive poll on the same page
LOL, you think Salem media’s “Townhall” VIP members straw poll is meaningful?
Weed does that to a person.
Why won’t Christina Pushaw appear on TV? The Meatball has carte blanche on Fox News and even those stiffs won’t put her on?
Why?
Is it her face?
Anyone know the odds that RDS will be as underwhelming as he was in London, England a couple of months ago?
DeSantis is delusional. He needs to wake up, face reality and withdraw from the race.
Isn’t nice or smart, to tick off MAGA Trump loyal voters.
Sorry Established/RINO JABRONIS, the majority of the people are not interested and haven’t been in your brand since 2012! Careful boys and girls, you are turning into Bud Light or Target!!! 😆
Donate to Trump tomorrow to offset their influence, if you can! I will try! Show your support even for 5 dollars! Show them we are still here, although economy sucks and most can’t afford now, this is what they want!
Ron!
They really have too much time on their hands. Not one of them could hold a real job.
So they are just going to pretend we dont know even though they know we know.
Ron Desantis isn’t even important! Not sure why he’s even brought up.
Little League-dad Ronnie should be at home, setting up the summer birdhouses.
DeSantis is correct about a degree from Yale and a Harvard Law degree. If I were running for Prez as a Republican my blinders would have NOBODY with those degrees. Sorry Tom Cotton, personal is policy, and you have been brainwashed in the wrong baptistry.
Harvard, home of the CIA and FBI recruits, and now selling dead body parts to loons everywhere.
Dubya = DeSantis. Sorry…
Kari Lake on Obama @3:25 in the
After being patted on the head by so many billionaires Ron DeSwampass will leave the affair feeling 5 feet tall.
I sure hope someone sneaks out some video of him trying to fit in.
Hey RDS, we’ve seen your kind so many times before that the lies and manipulations aren’t going to work anymore. Take your Ivy league bona fides and shove them. We’re voting for TRUMP!

For ultra clarity, people should look at poll results like a football game. Team Trump 59, Team DeSatan 14. If this were a football game, how would you think DeSatan’s team was doing?
They’d be the Cleveland Browns whose color is brown much liked a cooked meatball.
DeTaintis – it taint Conservative and it taint honest.
Yale, Skull’n Bones, Harvard, Sea Island, Bush’s, Cruzbots – what the hell are people thinking!?
Globalists of tomorrow university that is.

Man, Ron has been working overtime to honestly earn title of Ron DeDoucheBag
Did not know he was a Yale grad. That’s a giant flashing warning light saying STOP!
What Yale grad goes into the Navy???
He’s probably trying to pay off his student loan
I guess this just more fun than setting a stack of cash on fire.
Quite a big club! Neocons are worried about money. I can tell by the emails I get. Support from regular Joes is not forthcoming!
There is no place like the Yale Club to find some average Americans.
He will never fit in with this group. He is not a real boy.
Funny how the oh-so-smart people at the Yale Club Fundraiser didn’t even proofread their own flyer.
“Please join us in for an exclusive evening…”

I’m sure I’m wrong. Must be a new secret code for something. . .

He’s just a “Want To Be”
And who believes The Meatball now? Oh yeah, Mr. Spaghetti!
Meanwhile, DeSantis vetoes HB605 in Florida. https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2023/06/27/desantis-veto-bill-second-chances-criminal-record-expungement/
He is doomed! Give up RD! Maga ain’t buyin it! Praise the Lord.
It looks like Ron is just another politico in the pocket of billionaires. I thought that he was going to be good for Florida and America, not so much these days.
