There is a lot of granular dissection of the DeSantis campaign taking place as the music stops and the staff clamor for a chair.
Keep in mind, Donald Trump released his campaign fundraising details showing over a million small donors helped raise $35 million with an average contribution of $34.20. Small donors, that’s millions of middle class and working class MAGA folks, are the fuel for President Trump’s campaign.
According to the latest FEC filing [DATA HERE] the DeSantis campaign team took in $20.1 million, but burned through $7.9 million in just six weeks. This presents a major problem for the campaign, because over two-thirds of those contributions were from maxed-out donors who cannot contribute again. Only 15% of DeSantis campaign fundraising came from small donors.
[DATA HERE]
As NBC notes, “the numbers suggest, for the first time, that solvency could be a threat to DeSantis’ campaign, which has touted its fundraising ability as a key measure of viability.” The big problem for Ron DeSantis is his reliance on big donors.
(NBC) – […] more than two-thirds of DeSantis’ money — nearly $14 million — came from donors who gave the legal maximum and cannot donate again, NBC’s analysis shows. Some of those donors gave the $3,300 limit for both the primary and general elections, boosting DeSantis’ totals with cash that can’t be used to try to defeat Trump.
DeSantis finished June with more than $12.2 million in the bank, but his filing indicates that $3 million of that can only be used in the general election. Trump’s campaign ended the quarter with $22.5 million on hand. At the same time, DeSantis spent about 40 percent of what he raised, in part by paying salaries to 92 people (before the staff firings). (article here)
The issue of relying on billionaires, rich people, corporations and Wall Street was always an Achilles heel for DeSantis. Once those donors have contributed the maximum amount, either individually or through bundling their friends to support him, that’s it.
Every campaign needs a wide and deep donor group from the voters in order to tap them intermittently for assistance as the campaign continues. DeSantis just doesn’t have that with only 15% of his total raised coming from small donors. That makes the burn rate a major problem, and with the scale of payroll assembled, he needs to cut expenses after less than two months of campaigning. Casey will not be happy.
(NBC) – Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign has fired roughly a dozen staffers — and more are expected in the coming weeks as he shakes up his big-money political operations after less than two months on the campaign trail.
Those who were let go were described to NBC News by a source familiar as mid-level staffers across several departments whose departures were related to cutting costs. The exits come after the departures of David Abrams and Tucker Obenshain, veterans of DeSantis’ political orbit, which were first reported by Politico.
Sources involved with the DeSantis campaign say there is an internal assessment among some that they hired too many staffers too early, and despite bringing in $20 million during its first six weeks, it was becoming clear their costs needed to be brought down.
[…] DeSantis’ campaign had 92 people listed as being on the payroll for at least some period of time during its first fundraising period, according to campaign finance reports filed Saturday with the Federal Election Commission. It is by far the most of any Republican presidential candidate, and it has left his campaign with huge payroll expenses and, the new filings show, fewer resources than originally thought. (read more)
Team DeSantis is having a crisis and coping party this weekend in Tallahassee, where they will address the issues of greatest concern to the billionaires. However, absent a structural change in the candidate, the team, the outlook and the entire purpose of their assembly – nothing will work.
As noted by those connected to the campaign, “They think DeSantis’ inner circle underestimated just how hard — and expensive — it would be to break the grip on the Republican base held by Trump, who has a commanding lead and is seen as the overwhelming frontrunner. Even in Florida, a state that re-elected DeSantis by nearly 20 percentage-points just seven months ago, Trump now has his own 20-point lead on DeSantis, according to a Florida Atlantic University poll released last week.”
I said last year not to worry about DeSantis too much, because the more people would be exposed to him the less likely his campaign would succeed. This was not snark on my part, this is just the reality that is Ron DeSantis. The reason why the influencers recruited by Christina Pushaw are so abrasive, sanctimonious, condescending, annoying and detrimental to his campaign, is because his influencers are just like him. Pushaw factually enlisted the help of people who have the same personality as Ron DeSantis – which is to say they are a miserable unlikable bunch.
There are not enough uppity jerks in the base of the Republican Party, people who look down on others while taking selfies of their lunches, to overwhelm the ordinary base of regular folks who comprise the MAGA community. DeSantis polls well with a very narrow segment of rude, affluent people, and there just are not enough of them.
The issues for the DeSantis campaign are structural and embedded in the DNA of the campaign participants. This is not a fixable flaw. I knew this last year when I was watching the team assemble; these are the same GOPe types that form the core of the never-trumpets. Just a miserable bunch of out-of-touch political types.
The Sea Island Super PAC (Never Back Down) has money, around $200 million, but the campaign itself is on life-support after only a few months. Even with the super pac buying off everyone they can, they don’t end up changing the dynamic of the voting base.
You might say I have been a little hard on DeSantis, and if he just stayed as governor all would be ok. Unfortunately, that’s not accurate or possible. Ron DeSantis could not avoid running for 2024 because this 2024 race was the entire reason he was put into the 2018 Florida Governor’s contest to begin with. Once you realize DeSantis is a long-planned operation, going back to Trump’s 2018 mid-term, then you realize why he needs to be removed.

The GOPe donor class isn’t going to stick with DeSwampis too much longer if he keeps bleeding in his poll numbers and burning through a lot of their money in the process.
This gives new meaning to the nickname a Treeper gave him a few days ago: “Discountus”, so much for the 6600 dollar a plate reduced to 3300 a plate meet and greet.
Do tiaras come in ‘fools gold’…asking for a friend…..
Bless me Father…..
LOL!!!! I used an ‘i’ at the end before the s, yet I like your version BETTER, Aggie!!!!
DeScountus!
Let’s hope they do so he flames 🔥 out soon.
The thing is, just like many here were resistant to letting go of the IDEA of DeSantis, the donors are going to be hesitant to let go of THE IDEA of a candidate that they can use to coral the MAGA and bring them back on the R party reservation.
There IS NO SUCH Candidate, but they will fight like heck to stay in denial.
“If not Rob,…WHO?
Youngkin, cause he capitalised on that whole parents rights crap those trumpsters love, lets try him.”
Others will be saying “screw trying to appeal to these neandertals, lets run a REAL politician (KEMP) against Trump, Yeah, thats the ticket!”
Meanwhile, in every State the State party leadership are busy trying to change rules that are irrelevent if PDJT dominates the primaries.
“The more votes a candidate gets in the primary, the less delegates he gets to the convention, and vice versa! Yeah, THATS the ticket!”
As for the Indictments ploy, do they REALLY want to publically litigate whether the 2020 election was Stolen, which is what the Ga indictments WILL trigger, or whether the J6 FBI insurrection was a Govt operation which is what the “seditious conspiracy” charges would trigger.
I think PDJT has their # on the lawfare, and is fully prepared to “go there” and prevail, should they be STUPID enough to throw him into those briar patches.
All they have left is cheating, and their weopons systems for that are severely degraded.
Maybe they will start WW3 in Ukraine, although Putin doesn’t need to go Nuclear, to end it and devastate the Capitals of Western Europe.
I would ‘Love ‘to see Kemp jump in the race. VSGDJT would chew him up just like desac-dum. Phoney back stabber would deserve it…
Klaus Kemp.
We would have a field day with that chump!
Yes! We would…
Totally agree, but ‘they’ are going to make an attempt with him because ‘they’ are stupid and desperate.
“Kemp has lots and lots of dirt on him.”
Kemp will be a much easier target to destroy.
But this is a good thing. By the time they roll out Kemp and Trump finishes exposing and destroying him, it will be too late for them to roll out any other ‘credible contender.
They would be going from deception/marketing to sticking it in our faces if they prop up Kemp.
Mein Kempf!
Wouldn’t you love to see that debate question: what exactly was said and meant when you, Trump, called you, Kemp, and asked the infamous question about the vote count.
That would be great TV: destroy and expose Kemp on national TV for the fraud he is.
He makes top 10 list for first in line at GITMO.
These rich DeSantis donors have no choice now but to start giving money to Haley. She hasn’t made as much of a fools of herself as DeSantis and some of the others running in the past week.
Tucker was easy on her during his interviews, something up with that.
Tuck-n-roll was easy on the meatball too. Many of the meatball’s scripted talking points were left unchallenged. And they were so easy to refute.
I guess once a controlled opp, always a control opp?
Ye, as big as these donor egos are, it’s gotta hurt to admit they were wrong, and stupid.
They have too.
He is the only one in the Not Trump Group that is even close to having a personality that doesn’t just repel the room (Look at that girl in the room, she looks like “I spent my weekend for this!”) (And I’ll give Vivek some credit, he says he wants to be Trump W/O the Drama. He understands the MAGA Economic plan, America First. He DOESN’T understand that the DIMMS will saddle him with all the drama their opposition research can fabricate, and the DOJ-FBI will be happy to abuse him with it.)
Without Trump there is no Trump police’s
Word
Why are you promoting ANOTHER candidate who is not a natural born citizen and therefore does not meet the constitutionally mandated presidential requirements?

Big no on Vivi
I love the smell of GOPe money blasted by MAGA Napalm. 💥🇺🇸TRUMP 2024🇺🇸💥
A picture says a thousand words hillarious.👀
Thank You for giving Desantis update on GOV of Fla performance – quite honestly it. Sucks , he has weekend Fla Sunshine laws and made a bunch of noise but hasn’t made any lasting difference – meatball plays small ball like most with short man’s disease
I looked at Casey……Casey wanted to be the one to speak.
She wants it very much.
Casey is the glower behind the drone.
There is no joy in Mudville – mighty Casey has struck out.
Well, she is a little light in the stilettos.
DeSantis’ situation reminds me of a joke we used to tell in the caribbean
A man who lived on the island of St Thomas died and went to Heaven.
When he arrived at the pearly gates, St Peter told him “You’ve lived such an exemplary life, we have decided to give you a choice between spending eternity in Heaven, or spending eternity in Hell”
St Peter explained that the man would spend one week in Heaven, the next week in Hell, then he would make his choice.
The man entered the Kingdom, and began his week. He hung out with the angels, flew around in the clouds, and enjoyed the celestial harp music.
At the end of the week, he was transported to Hell. Much to his amazement, Hell was exactly like St Thomas, but with perpetually sunny days, unlimited bar tabs and – many of his deceased friends, who were there partying like mad!
The week in Hell flew by, and before he knew it, he was back in front of St Peter, who asked him for his decision.
“Well, Heaven is beautiful and serene, but Hell isn’t half bad and all my old friends are there, so I have decided to spend eternity in Hell!”
St Peter explained that his decision was irrevocable and final, but the man insisted, and was instantly transported to the pits of Hell.
Unfortunately, this time he was cast into the Lake Of Fire and endlessly tormented by demons bearing pitchforks.
As one imp prodded him mercilessly, he whirled about and exclaimed “Hey! Wait a minute! I was here for a week and it was wonderful, but now it really sucks! What is going on?”
The imp replied, “Yes, and the first time you came here, you were a tourist, but now you’re a resident“

No doubt Meatball Ron is having the same buyer’s remorse right now . . .
That’s a keeper.
Put it in a safe place where you can bring it out from time-to-time.
No doubt there will be need for it in the future.
I experienced an early life lesson I call “the shortcut.” The bottom line is that there are no shortcuts in life. Those shortcuts may start out looking just fine, but the end is never what you expect it to be.
Divine!
Excellent , Vaporland !
I was looking more closely at her than at Ron. She looked like a parent who is mouthing the script that she taught her son for his 4th grade science fair presentation.
😂
Seem to remember that Reagan had a campaign staff that was telling him that everything was going just wonderful. His son went out in the field to see things in real life/real time, then came back and said we’re getting clobbered. A staff rearrangement took place that fixed things. Of course, Reagan had a whole lot more going for him.
Reagan had my vote before I could vote. The 1976 Convention speech won me over.
My mother, a lifelong diehard liberal, met Ronald Reagan backstage in 1976 when he spoke at the Richmond (Va) Public Forum.
She was very impressed and stated “That man will be president someday”
Ronald Reagan has Charisma and personality. DeSantis has neither..
Ronald Reagan has more charisma and personality in the afterlife, than DeSantis has in the here and now
No DeSantis wasn’t bought in 2018, but I do think by early 2020 he was all in
You make a flat assertion that Sundance was wrong on the 2018 insertion then say you think he was all in by 2020.
How do you figure any of that?
I just love it when folks offer their fact free contradictions of Sundance, it always goes so well for them.
Jesus, get a grip
It’s my opinion.
He was fully supportive of President Trump and then he wasn’t early 2020
We don’t need to agree on everything and quite frankly that was rude of you
Gee, I thought you were being rude too.
I guess we agree!
If he wasn’t supportive in early 2020 before that election, then he was never supportive.
And that is MY opinion.
Is that rude?
Goes back to his federal house time. He has always been gope.
he was naval intelligence at guantanamo
anyone who operated under the assumption that the US Constitution didn’t apply, should not be pulling the levers of power
all this deep state panic is because the russians have the goods on their bioweapons labs in ukraine
at the apropriate time, this too shall be revealed
And all of the other demonic activities.
I wish the Russians would hurry up. They could stop this war cold if they’d reveal all they know about US activities in Ukraine over the last 10 years.
He voted for TPP. Nuff’ said.
💁♀️
How do you DeSantis, aka Sanctimonious, wasn’t bought in 2018? He wasn’t going to tell us because he had to first win the Governor’s race.
DeSantis was bought long ago
Apr 16, 2013
Casey Black DeSantis, the host of “First Coast Living” in Jacksonville, FL and the wife of Congressman Ron DeSantis (R-FL) shows off her Club for Growth Coffee Mug
I think Casey was bought off in kindergarten. She just needed a hapless chump to work. Meatball is clearly not a mental mastermind. The realization of what he walked into, including having kids to think of, starting sinking in slowly and now I wonder if they’ve got him on the same mental straight jacket meds as Biden.
He was bought off long before then. The reality is he’s always been a RINO.
Oh great swami, tell us more.
I agree, he was doing good things for FL to the point everyone wanted to move there and wow the attn he got, he had to be flipped. I think they got to him thru Casey. Remember T thought he was great in the beginning too. I may be stupid, but he’s not. RD changed, while he seemed pragmatic before, but he lost his truth. Personally, I think he’s fighting back, subconsciously if anything, from them, his wife, by being the most hang dog, miserable, you-wouldn’t-want-my-life candidate there ever was. ‘Here staffers, take all the money, just get me out of here.’
🤣🤣🤣
Ron! has always been bought and paid for.
if you can’t even manage campaign finances properly, it does not bode well for being able to manage the finances of the united states . . .
BINGO! My tho’ts exactly. If you’ve never run a bz before, you probably don’t have any idea about burn rates. This is what happens when all you know is how to spend OPM (Other People’s Money).
Time to grow up DeceptiCON RON!
Oh…but didn’t you hear?
DeFraud is the BESTEST at everything. DeFraud is SSSOOO electable. St Ron is so good that he can get a gazillion people to vote for him & can overcome ALL the election fraud the Dims can throw at him.
St Ron hires the best, he’s the best judge of character and he’s a fine upstanding & beyond reproach man.
Then he’ll be able to go to DC and make everything all better forever.
The End.
I didn’t think he would last to August, maybe the end of August.
I said about 90 days.
🤞
I’m ready for him to be gone.
I am too
Who says it’s not kind of fun to watch a slow motion train wreck?
Especially a crazy train!
A Desantis superpac hired door knockers. Apparently it didn’t go well. One guy was so rude, the campaign fired the guy. Woopsie
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/14/desantis-never-back-down-canvassers/
That moment when Never Back Down becomes Never Go Forward. Priceless.
Never Mind DeSanctus!
“Just kidding Desanctus”
Get em next time, Desanctus.
If you never got up in the first place, exactly how are you supposed to never back down?
Such a slogan, similar to the vows to never back down in Ukraine, must sound great at the beginning of a campaign or war, but they can be an albatross around your neck if they prove overly optimistic.
I believe such assertions are known as fatuous.
Derp State Ron posing as the defeater of bullies is just that, fatuous.
Kudos to you Sundance for calling this one early. I hope you aren’t right about Tucker too.
What RDS is for RNC,
Elen is for Big Tech
and Tucker is for Fox (MSM).
Truth doesn’t CARE about what we HOPE for, of fear.
TRUTH just IS
I’d be embarrassed for him if I didn’t think he brought it all on himself for being a disloyal inauthentic douchebag.
Nah. He deserves this. And so does Casey.
Poor children.
In all honesty, those kids always look kinda out of it to me, like afterthoughts or poorly selected accessories.
Perhaps their mother could recenter her priorities?
One would have thought. Not sure currently if that IS a thought.
I’d like to listen in on the DeSantis bedroom talk.
Am wondering if they can see what a mess they’ve gotten their lives into ….all for the love of money.
Benedict Arnold and Peggy Shippen. Their lives were never great after the West Point debacle.
Money is the false goal of politicians. Actually, it is the primary goal of politicians, but as far as campaigns go, it is a crutch. Its purpose is to buy people’s attention and thoughts.
Conversely, a movement doesn’t require money; it stirs the mind and the soul with a message. Trump has people talking about him and on his behalf to those undecided or not inclined to him or his message. In a fair election, Trump steamrolls.
DeSantis is the next best thing to the Republicans actually helping Trump. How so? Because, it shows how backward they are for their rejection and resistance to Trump. That teaches the American voter A LOT of things.
So very true!
Just listening to any of the wannabes endures a coma.
President Trump tonight had the place engaged and the vast majority were “ all in for him” or so it seemed.
Lindell, Stone, Donald.. these guys are solid and you would want them in your corner.
Cheers!
I have heard PDJT read the snake poem numerous times. I Love to hear him read it. Now–imagine hearing DeSantis, cristie, pence 🙄 reading it.🤣😂
A snake will never read this poem about himself…😂🤣
The deck chairs on the Rino Titanic need shuffling. But who of their ilk do they imagine will do any better?
And where will support money come from if the big donors already are reluctant to do more?
Go down the B list with Pence and the others sniffing around? Find some other wild card person drafted out of desperation from outside their approved list? From the media, business, state or federal political machines? As a sacrificial splitter?
Or go down with the sinking DeSantis because they already are too invested?
Their only hope is removing Trump via lawfare, prison, or an unthinkable “otherwise”.
I hate to say the obvious, but that’s the fact.
Yet in so doing they leave MAGA little recourse outside a hot war on the Derp State.
There’s a reason they strive so hard to demonize us.
They are trying to get ahead of the response.
There are a rapidly diminishing # of BAD options, and no good options (for them) whatsoever.
Amasing how analogous their efforts against PDJT and MAGA are, to the Ukraine fiasco.
Even in the financial front, THEY tried to bankrupt PDJT, and they end up short on cash.
Wife and I HAVE donated to PDJT, every time he gets indicted, but we are nowhere CLOSE to maxing out, and assuming millions of us are in a simular position, we can easily sustain his campaign against all comers.
It is actually HE that has an untapped, virtually limitless reserve.
TC just took out Hutchinson and Pence in plain view. Haley was a near flameout at the same event. All the DS has left is DeSanctimonious and Ramaswamy. No MAGA is going to either of those.
Outsiders? Youngkin has already publicly stated he’s not running. Kemp will be laughed off stage both in Georgia and around the country. Additionally I think a candidate needs to be registered by the end of August in order to make the early primaries.
The GOPe are running out of time and options. It’s delightful to watch the thrashing about of the so-called masters of the universe.
If you think about it, DeSanctus was their best hope, and we see how miserably he is doing. The others who have announced are flailing.
For those who have not announced, they have to be wondering at this point if its worth giving up their current gig just to flame out like DeSanctus.
Maybe Evan McMuffin is available again?
That image of street urchin desantis should be updated with Salvation Army kettle with a sign that says pennies for Ron
With polio licked, The March of Dimes has been looking for a new cause.
Hmmmm… The March of Meatballs just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
2nd pic: Why did my parents drag me here?
Otherwise known as “kill me now.”
Sundance, what an elegant and beautifully worded post. I loved, “granular dissection.” Not only do you have an understanding of complex political mayhem, you present it succinctly and poetically.
Thank you, so glad I’m a Treeper!
I thought wall street was going to fund him? Or was that before they saw him in action?
Sundance dissects the constraints they bumping up against in his post.
They have limits, and they are hitting against them hard.
They can only donate a certain amount individually. I think it’s $2,500 for the Primary and $2,500 for the General elections.
“I said last year not to worry about DeSantis too much…” – And SUNDANCE was spot on, as always.
Desantis self implodes while Tucker ended Pence’s asperations in 60 seconds.
Whos next?
Couldn’t happen to two better fellows both losers.
Remember the polling data to the run up of the 2020 election and how they all showed FJB ahead of Trump.
We all know that was fake.
Who’s to say that they can’t do the same thing this time…with Meatball.
You know…to herd the sheeples. Create an illusion that Meatball is ahead yada yada.
Because the sheeples have looked up from their grazing, smelled the charnal odors coming from the slaughterhouse, and with red eyes turned in the herder, and ripped the throat out of the sheepdogs.
The sheeple is now an ever diminishing percentage of the population, and the limited hangouts they have done, to try to establishe the bono fides of their manufactured “truth tellers” HAVE causee more red pilling, but HAVEN’T stopped the bleeding, and aren’t working long term
Hint, go ahead and “like” or even “love* what Tucker says, but don’t transfer that feeling the words evoke, to him that says them..
RDS is to the RNC
as Elon is to Big Tech
and TC is to MSM (Fox).
They already tried that repeatedly. The Never Trumpers joined the left in this when they were all claiming Trump just could not beat POTATUS. They were claiming DeSanctus was polling even or slightly ahead when he first announced. Unfortunately for them, DeSanctus’ polls have been dropping since.
It’s taken time, but many are realizing Trumps poll numbers are solid, and showing he can also beat POTATUS.
It would be interesting to know how much the DeSimp crew on Twitter is being paid.
Maybe some of the same crew popping up here can answer that. 😆
I can’t imagine President Trump showing up in jeans and an open neck shirt.
President Trump always “ looks the part”
The “ wannabes “ are actors, and poor ones at that.
Cheers!

WHAT was Mr. too big for his britches disloyal De Sanctimonious thinking?
He can’t ~even~ manage a campaign.
Foolish, foolish fool.
Talk about suicide.
Wonder if the Navy will take him back
Disney Lobbyist.
Wearing the ears.
Karma Baby!
Maybe crawl back to that fancy teacher job in Rome Ga.
Desantis is grifting. He’ll pocket the change.
There’s about a thousand dollars left if the unpaid bills are subtracted from the cash on hand.
Well, shoot. Too late to delete….stupid math error on my part. It’s been a long day. Brain offline.
…actually, not just math. Can’t see straight at the moment……………
What made anybody think that bore could replace President Trump?
Desantis was keynote speaker for the TN statesman dinner tonight. Oddly missing from the dinner was one Gov Lee (RGA). I was gifted a ticket. He obfuscates facts about his success in Florida , made outlandish claims of firing Milley ( who has already retired), took more than one jab for President Trump and promises of funding the border wall. His speech never once mentioned Ukraine or Iran… only that the CCP was banned for owning land in fl because of action he took. He as always touted his non-existent win against Disney. In my area in TN I cannot find one person who supports desantis. Not surprisingly the est GOP is welcoming of Desantis but voters ( my experience ) are sold him at all.
Thank you for this update.
Where was Governor Lee?
He was busy planning his special Legislative session to pass his gun control law and meeting with the Commie Dem insurrectionists.
Don’t you just love Camelot?
“I wonder what Karl Rove is doing tonight?”
Scheming.
That awful, awful cliché’ “At the end of the day”, which DeSanctus uses on a regular basis (and President Trump never uses), has come to fruition for the Meatball.
Magadonians understand the difference between a $5.00 donation to a $2,500 donation because many, many, many small donations will exceed the limited $2,500 donation……..”AT the end of the day”.
Magadonians understand that with every $5.00 donation is 1 person and 500 people donating $5 ea = 1 – $2,500….There are 500 Magadonians…to every 1 billionaire donor giving the maximum. There are more Magadonians than billionaires.
AND Magadonians talk to other deplorables who then become Magadonians and they also donate $5 ea which now exceed the 1 billionaire who donates the maximum of $2,500.
So, Magadonians understand the meaning of “Loyalty”.
Billionaires understand the meaning of “Cheating”.
“At the end of the day”; DeSanctus still does not understand the meaning of “Loyalty”, “Magadonians” or $5.00 “Donors”; he is so obtuse he only understands the world of “Cheating”, “Billionaires” and the $2,500 donation.
“At the end of the day”, “A Loser is still a Loser”.
“At the end of the day” is a verbal tic, or a verbal crutch. I’m not aware of what the technical term for these cliches is, but they annoy the heck out of me sometimes.
I had a boss for ten years and his was “go through and”. He literally said this fifty times a day, at a minimum. Before every verb this phrase came out of his mouth. I may be the only employee who ever noticed it, too. 😄
so true, taq. I have an in-law who sez “and all” at the end of every sentence. hmmm, never thought of it as a tic.
I wonder if “like” qualifies as a generational tic.
Oral Contagion.
Verbal cooties?
Along with “you know.”
With some people, I find myself repeatedly replying in my head: “Actually, no, I don’t know that!”
It certainly does.
Drives me nuts. lol
The term for it is extra-grammatical.
It like… drives me… like…. crazy…ya know? lol
“At the end of the day” I hate that phrase with a passion 😒 😑
I picked up “the long and short of it” from my husband and I’m even sick of myself saying it.
The big money is starting to dry up as RINO Ronnie makes his long descent from the lofty heights of smoke and mirrors Bush/Rove/Ryan back to clean up the state he was actually elected to serve. This time Ronnie clean it up for real. The never Ronnies are growing.
“Casey will not be happy.”
Neither will his social media influencers, who I have noticed have either become silent, are starting to hint at Trump, or have gotten downright testy.
Well, all have been quite testy when its pointed out they have been promoting his campaign all along. Testier?
This is what a campaign looks like driven by:
1. Sanctimonious personality;
2. political consultant class who only care about making money (30% burn rate on paid staff); and
3. Never Trump donors/agenda
Will disinfranchised end up homeless too?🦨
What the globalist billionaires’ club did not calculate (because they couldn’t know in 2017/18) was that President Trump would open people’s eyes to the manipulation and corruption of government, Congress, the UniParty, the media, social media, the courts, and the weaponization of the entire bureaucracy. They have been able to fool people for the last 30-40 years and have low regard for the perspicacity of ordinary people. The 2020 election and Biden’s administration have made these even clearer.
They also did not consider (because they didn’t care) the 2 DeSantis’ personalities. They figured that they could sell them to ignorant voters with a little fixing up, conservative influencers, some bought media, well-produced ads, and well-managed appearances. They could bus in a few hundred lackeys to drive the voters, work with some RNC manipulators in the states, and voters would flock to a younger candidate.
They failed to recognize what Trump and all Treepers know.
God Always Gets A Vote.
All true but they were OVER thinking. ALL they had to do was just get that boy some longer britches and picked up .005 in the polls….
Ryan stiffing us on ObamaCare and McConnell walking away from MAGA Candidates have effectively destroyed the Republican Brand.
And the Commifornia cuckservatives are still trying to prop his sorry ass up.
Thus why he skipped Turning Point to try and raise $ in the Hamptons this weekend………. too bad that is not where he will find people willing to knock on doors for him…..
DeSanctimonious skipped TPAction because the comparison between his reception and Trump’s would almost immediately end the game. You can’t fake genuine love, and Trump has that in spades.
He never was a “favorite “ of conservatives
Of fake conservatives maybe
And he wasn’t fooled.
The globalist handlers were not trying to set him up for failure. They were setting him up to be the Republican candidate and thought they could fool us.
Totally flummoxed…boohoo
LOL!!!!!!
Ho-hum….

DeSantis’ fundraising numbers are ABYSMAL.
He has fewer individual donors than
@VivekGRamaswamy,
@FrancisSuarez, and
@ChrisChristie
.
DeSantis doesn’t even have enough donors to qualify for the first debate.

DeJustis, baby!
Funny that the posted pic has Dan Crenshaw in it. Anybody notice Dan has been trying to go viral on the issue of “Woke” transgenderism lately?
Remember 24 hrs after DeFraud declared & his acolytes were screaming, “Look at how much he raised…over 8 million… Trump can’t do that.”
I stated over & over to the DeFraud freaks that this was planned & it was people like Ben Shapiro, Steve Deace, Matt Margolis, Erik Erikson…the middle aged white college educated men that seems to make up the totality of DeFraud’s support. These guys all have enough money to have given the highest amount allowed, it was coordinated…all to make it seem like DeFraud has organic and widespread support.
St Ron has none of that. It’s fiction now, it was fiction then & it will always be fiction.
One good thing. MAGA has ridded itself of a neocon globalist Yes Sir… we’ll ship him & Jill back to Florida…and make sure he’s NEVER elected outside the state of Florida.
If Ron’s handlers had been smarter…like Hillary’s…they would have ‘UNBUNDLED’ the contributions!
LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!! Idiots!
I think they did that already. In a several month ago post a commenter posted a link to his fund raising info. 900 pages worth. 10-15 pages per day of donations except for 3 days in July where there were HUNDREDS OF PAGES.
I certainly hope this means we, the voters do count in this election.
I wonder who is going to follow DeSantis as governor of Florida. I hope it doesn’t fall to Democrats because everyone is PO’d at DeSantis.
It seems almost as if they planned for that exact outcome.
RdS has already weaponized the state government and its elections for a tyrannical future.
Not to mention having put Corporatism into the driver’s seat, affordable living is impossible.
Yeah, it’s why I don’t think we should federalize elections either. DeSantis screwing over Floridians while distracting us with the social issues of wokeism, critical race theory, and transgender. Those are real issues but they bring those to the forefront while robbing us blind.
Addendum: I just listened to the Tucker Carlson speech and he pretty much said the same thing!
The billionaire class doesn’t seem to understand the words “Only Trump 2024”. Trump is far from perfect, however after what the Democrats and eGOP have done to him, he is the only person we will support. We will write his name in if necessary. Trump is now OUR revenge.

Very good remarks from President Trump.
