A very bad, terrible, no good news day for Ron DeSantis today.
A $50 million Super PAC scheduled to launch in support of his campaign was forced to abandon all hope after the donors backed out, essentially saying it’s futile. Then, moments later, the Never Back Down super PAC announced they were backing down from Super Tuesday states and halting all door knocking activity in Nevada, California, North Carolina and Texas. The burn rate on cash was too much and no resupply.
I said last year, when few would accept my predication of a DeSantis effort, to settle into an unemotional spectator position, watch DeSantis launch and implode, then watch what happens to the financed influencer campaign as the cash runs out.
All of these interests will radically shift once the cash dries up. That’s exactly what is going on right now. Two stories:
(Daily Mail) – A super PAC set up to back Ron DeSantis with $50 million is closing as donors backed out – while its founder said the Florida governor’s campaign was guilty of ‘rookie s**t’ mistakes and he will now back Donald Trump.
John Thomas, a Republican strategist known as the ‘Billy the Kid of Political Battles’ set up ‘Ron to the Rescue’ in November and had secured financial commitments from mega-wealthy donors.
But he said the donors began having second thoughts after the botched DeSantis campaign launch on Twitter Spaces in May. (more)
Meanwhile, the formerly $200 million funded Never Back Down Super PAC, the group that was left carrying the brunt of the DeSantis campaign costs after relaunch, has pulled all major door knocking operations from states. This announcement was more predictable, because we could see the burn rate on NBD being ruinously high.
(Via NBC) – Never Back Down, the super PAC backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign, has ceased its door-knocking operations in Nevada, home to a key early nominating contest, and California, a delegate-rich Super Tuesday state, officials confirmed Wednesday.
They added that in recent weeks, the group also ended its field operations in North Carolina and Texas, two additional states that vote on Super Tuesday in March.
Never Back Down had pitched a wide-ranging canvassing effort throughout the early nominating states as the centerpiece of its effort to help boost DeSantis in the primary — even letting reporters inside its door-knocking boot camp in Iowa where it trained hundreds of canvassers earlier this year. The super PAC had planned to spend $100 million on the effort.
The decision to fold its door-knocking operations in Nevada and some Super Tuesday states coincides with DeSantis’ rough summer, which has featured him struggling to gain traction against the GOP front-runner, former President Donald Trump, since launching his campaign in late May. In recent weeks, DeSantis’ campaign has publicly promoted resets and staff shake-ups as he seeks to generate momentum. (read more)
Notice, this shift is happening after the first GOPe debate. The shrinking of campaign effort is happening as more people get to know the candidate. This is the structural problem. The more people are exposed to Ron DeSantis, the more his polling support drops.

I try that, but the link takes you to a site that does not support https and is therefore deemed to be unsafe.
Interesting, I’ve unsubscribed from all of them and never get a single email.
Thanks. Was just able to unsubscibe from Nikki Haley. Others are real problems.

We’re they ever really connected to begin with🤔🤔🤔
Shame on Tucker agreeing that Trump is too old like Biden!!!!!
Stop supporting Tucker!!!! He is a Trump hater by his actions and texts.
Tucker probably thinks he will be president when he helps railroad Trump out!!!
Tucker should stop bringing up the idea that the left will stop at nothing to get Trump. I think Tucker is trying to spook Trump or intimidate him. A psych op.
Shameful thing to say to anyone, much less a man like Trump,who has faced down so much opposition without batting an eye and should be praised for carrying our country on his back.
Yes!!
I can’t believe what Tucker has been saying lately about trump. Assassination?! War inevitable to stop election?! He is scaring everyone!!!
Whose side is he on? A Rino? CIA got to him? He wants to be president? What was Tucker promised to bash Trump and spook the people??!!
Oh good lord…
Everybody is a RINO – except Trump of course.
If he isn’t the nominee for whatever reason I am sure you will all stay home in protest and we will all get stuck with whoever the Democrats decide to run.
You can kiss the country goodbye if that happens but at least you be able to show us all how principled you are.
Thanks!
Firstly they all are and secondly, I fail to see how holding your nose and voting for whatever neocon war whore who does nothing to combat leftist aggression at home the GOPe puts up is going to in any meaningful way save the country
Correct.
You are right, but there is always a slim chance that a Repug could rise to the occasion and there is no chance if a Demcommie is the alternative. RFK Jr. would give us an even slimmer chance because if he rises to the occasion, the Demcommies will treat him like they do to any other opponent of their agenda.
The demonrats know this and if they can keep him out of the election, they win by default. Most of us will not vote for a rino. Then they don’t have to work so hard cheating.
But they will cheat if that can help them win the down ballot races, too. The Repugs were out of touch when they all sat on the first row in the fifth grade. Their daddy was usually found at the local Country Club golf course. But, they weren’t communists, and I don’t want any part of that kind of system. Even if it means putting up with yet another mealymouthed out of touch Repug.
Chill it Patrick…. nobody is saying here if anybody beats President Trump fair and square does not deserve our support.
If you are new then read old articles and how very clear is the RINO’s tactics are to ensure President Trump does not get the nomination.
Win the nomination fair and square and show us how your vision is better than President Trump’s MAGA and we are on board, but try selling us President Trump’s MAGA vision as yours’, especially by floating in the donation boat of never trumpers money, than why in the f#@$!^g world we will vote for you?
Everybody knows that except for President Trump, nobody on this green earth can take the abuses hurled at him for since 2015 and still be having the vigor and vision to fight for we-the-people.
Will you care to enlighten us Patrick which candidate can truly be better than President Trump and can win the general election third time in a row?
Wait till they try to argue Trump really did win the election and therefore is ineligible to run for a third term.
That is a good one!
In simple terms, just don’t be sleazy. Is that really too much to ask?
The people have spoken. Trump is our choice for the nominee. The GOP will have to ride or die on the Trump Train.
If they scheme and trick and cutesy Trump out of the nomination he’s earned through his vastly larger support base, then it’s very simple:
WE WILL SABOTAGE THE GOP OUT OF WINNING ANY DOWN BALLOT RACES.
Because, if they can succeed in getting rid of Trump through trickery, then the republic is over and not worth saving and who gives a crap if the Republicans lose down ballot.
First of all a RINO is someone who will stab you in the back at the worst times. Never voting for a RINO again.
Secondly, Sundance, lo how the mighty have fallen. I don’t think the growth in audience is worth the drop in comment quality. I have pretty much given up on comments here.
I don’t really know what you mean about the “drop in comment qualify.” and their “worth. ” I have survived on a branch on this Treehouse for many years now. Glad that you are “giving up “because you don’t like quality” of those who live on this Great Tree. Bye bye.
LOL, the GOPe goon squad appears to tell you how important it is to vote GOP. It’s been working so well after all.
Actually, yes, all the nincompoots that have jumped in to “stop Trump” in the Republican primary are RINOs. And yup, I won’t vote for them.
If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn’t have voted for Mitt in ‘12… I voted third party in 08, couldn’t bring myself to vote for McStain nor Obama. I will give myself some credit for never voting for a Bush.
Trump, if nothing else, has forced the RINOs to decloak. I knew they were ugly behind the veneer, but they’re actually downright hideous. If DeSantis were to be the nominee, I might go RFK Jr. He’s an outsider and understands the fight.
Don’t underestimate just how bad RINOs and Uniparty are.
RFK would nominate leftist Supreme Court Justices and he is pro-abortion. When you look at his stands on important things, he is just a little bit conservative on a few issues.
Oh how 2008 of you…
Right, because the RINO’s are so much more principled.
I totally agree with this. The best rule of thumb is never to say never. Tucker could be right, for all we know. I never guessed I would get to live through 1984 in 2024, but that looks like where we are headed.
Scaring people? Have you been paying attention to the website you are posting on? The United States right now is a tinderbox, ruled by a pile of angry, senile, lit matches. They’re pissed off that us normal people have dared to recognize the little feudal aristocracy they carved out for themselves at our expense. We’ve ruined their perfect world of revolving doors and cocktail parties, and they will burn it all down at the first excuse, if they believe for even a nanosecond that it will restore their glorious status quo.
People need to know so they can prepare for whatever is next. We may not be in hot civil war yet, but if you don’t recognize the signs, you’ll get caught up in whatever happens next. And yes, I believe they are desperate enough to try and kill Trump. And if they do? Chaos.
The BRICS nations and the greed and ignorance of the current fraudulent stolen administration and the disgrace of the current House and Senate are likely to crash the US dollar. Then the whole thing will implode. What follows can’t be anything good.
You “Spit” well, Madame
genearly.substack.com
Many things are in jeopardy — the dollar, rigged elections, captured institutions like the DOJ and FBI, the plans the globalists have for us, President Trump having to spend time and money on charges that until now are unheard of or otherwise known as election interference — the list goes on and on.
Meanwhile, Tucker does seem to keep asking and making statements about our President being killed. He keeps putting this issue front and center.
If Tucker wanted, he could certainly go back to his plan of discussing the J6 tapes. That might help us get to the bottom of things.
Or he could mention all the election fraud being uncovered by True the Vote in Georgia, or by TGP in Michigan. Maybe even interview any of these people?
I mention this specifically because the stolen 2020 election is at the heart of almost everything we are discussing.
However, these are just examples of a few issues Tucker could delve into to try and uncover the truth, and agreeing with you we are is a mess so he has lots to choose from.
But you’re right when you mention scaring people. Assassination is a scary idea. It also gets a lot of attention because it conjures up emotions of fear and dread without the ability to resolve anything.
Maybe I misunderstood Someone’s comment, but I agree that it is not helpful to stir up fear and dread unless it serves a useful purpose, other than getting attention.
I see it as Predictive Programming.
Borrowing Trouble.
Encouraging miscreants, willfully or no.
If PDJT didn’t want to talk about it, then no one else has anything I want to hear about it.
Yes, great phrase “predictive programming.” It helps normalize the unthinkable.
Talking about it is a safety net for Trump. People being aware can ward off attempts. I would wager not a single Trump supporter is ignorant and naïve enough to not know this is something that the people who hate Trump are quite capable of. But they don’t say it. Best to let the bad guys know we are watching them and aware.
I guess hopium is a good thing if it helps you cope.
Just exactly how would your “watching them” prevent anything?
I believe Tucker’s idea that the globalists may try to assassinate Trump is a way of getting out ahead of that notion and warning people rather than an attempt to hurt Trump. Trump’s interview with Adam Corolla is where Tucker spoke of how great and kind a person Trump is.
Always check the context when people cherry pick a line a run with it as news.
People should be wise and quit stomping on people who are on their side.
Well, yes, “people should be wise.”
People should also work to make a difference as opposed to doing things like writing stern letters and grabbing attention with fear mongering, along with the more insidious goal of “predictive programming” (see Maquis post).
Rds is to the R party, what Elon is to Big tech, what Tucker is to Fox, what Jr. is to the D party.
All 4 entities have lost credibility, and hence the power to manipulate and control public opinion, and so each has launched their own avatar, to speak SOME truths, in order to establush credibility, SO THAT they can leverage that credibility, to manipulate/control public opinion, in order to STOP TRUMP.
RDS and Elon have already imploded, having been exposed. Tucker and Jr are still carrying on, tho.
Bingo
👆👆👆What Dutchman said…
Saying the UnSpeakable JFK Opton Lessens It’s probable USE.
btw, if you aren’t armed to the teeth you are whistling past the graveyard.
Choices du jour are possibly CW or WW.
or maybe he’s just saying things that people need to hear. wr could turn the nation around in a few weeks if 30 million had the courage to do it.
Agreed. For example, I’m still waiting for Tucker to say something about the J6 tapes.
That, or revisiting the 2020 election now that more evidence had come to light with True the Vote in Georgia and TGP in Michigan would be extremely useful to talk about. That might help us change things.
On the other hand, fear mongering does nothing about solving our problems. What it does do is grab attention for Tucker, and it also feeds “predictive programming” — aka borrowing trouble (see Maquis post).
He’s trying to make it LESS likely by putting that card in the public’s mind.
Tucker is saying out loud what many think. He isnt a white wash. I don’t think he is out to get Trump.
Agree!
It can be scary for some
when what many of us
have thought and even
said……..
is said out loud by someone
like Tucker.
We have people in DC
who thought nothing
about blowing up
Nordstream and ruining
the economy of Germany.
That alone should give
everyone a wake up
call that right now DC
is capable of anything.
They want war with Russia.
That is one of the reasons
why the negotiations at the
beginning of the Ukrainian
conflict were stopped.
They are capable of the
most nefarious actions
to remain in power.
Sane people are “scared”
and they have reason to
be.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
I agree. This idea that Tucker is not on our side is just ridiculous. Trump went on his show the other day didn’t he?
If this is what you are all thinking then Trump must have made another poor judgement call. You know, like hiring Christopher Wray and not firing Anthony Fauci…
Gone on Fox, 60 minutes and CNN in the past too.
So what?
He’s gone on with Chris Wallace several times too
Tucker just bashed Trump as being too old like Biden in the Portney interview from Barstool Sports!
He keeps bringing up assassination like Hillary dis about Obama and why she was continuing to run. He has now said that Dems will go all in on a hot war to prevent elections/trump win by declaring martial law. He said these things first.
Now he’s deterring more people by saying Trumps too old like Biden.
Are people forgetting Tuckers 2020 texts how he despised Trump?
Why are so many people swayed by Tucker and still support him?! Omg.
Tucker does just enough positive stuff to convince people he’s a white hat. He’s controlled opposition.
I’m still waiting for the J6 tapes. Or even a few words about why not. It’s ridiculous to pretend he never told us he would release something about something.
Though in all fairness still waiting on Julie Kelly as well.
Maybe you should post the interview because I don’t believe you!
Its PRESIIDENT TRUMP, and he went on CNN to do a town hall, so his going on Tucker is NOT in any way an endorsement OF Tucker.
You go where the audience is.
And, those defending Tucker so vehemently, are going to look as foolish as those who defended Elon, and those who praised RDS and have been praising RFK JR.,…pretty soon.
Don’t shoot the messenger, because you don’t like the message, sure.
But don’t jump in the sack with the messenger, just because you like his message.
Well written.. Thank you. Yes, I’ve heard lately that when you jump into the sack with anything, it has lately been full of bedbugs (seriously) and any and all weird things.
Just agreeing with you.
That’s just silly. Tucker is for Tucker. All he cares about is restoring some integrity to journalism, and if that means he turns on us for being evil, he’d do it in a heartbeat.
And since you’re still so upset about Fauci, I notice you haven’t said one word about his replacement. I’m willing to bet you don’t even know who it is. You know, because you’re so upset about it and all. #FakeOutrage.
Tucker is saying aloud what others in media are too afraid to say. Deep Staters eliminate threats.
He’s saying what most have the sense not to say.
Predictive Programming much?
All I say is: bring it on. Political assassinations don’t always work, especially when it’s patently obvious who did it
Well, yes, one way to make money as a “journalist” is to say/write whatever grabs the most attention.
Agree with you 100% Tucker makes a lot of money.
Doubtful. Dan Bongino thinks Trump’s life is in danger as well. This won’t deter Trump, but it does give a sense of the deranged desperation we are dealing with.
I listen to Bongino. Seems he is promoting some very strange things lately. Tump surrender and put himself in jail voluntarily?, etc. After that schick narrative, I am turning I can’t listen anymore. My choice only.
I was thinking the same thing about Tucker. Why does he keep almost promoting the idea. I’ve learned never to trust anyone in the media even when they seem sincere. Almost like setting up for their own success by sounding sincere!!!
Thinking also of Ramaswampy
I agree with you. The first time Tucker said it in the interview with President Trump, I didn’t have a problem with it.
But when President Trump didn’t take the bait, Tucker came back to it again and apparently wasn’t happy because President Trump still didn’t take the bait. And now Tucker keeps hammering it, and this when there are hundreds of important things he could be hammering.
This is the same as fauci and scarf lady hammering the lockdown and shots.
After a few times you have to ask yourself what does Tucker want to achieve, and especially when all it does is create fear and when there are many topics that could be helpful, like J6 and new evidence in the stolen 2020 election.
I’ve not heard this
When Orban said how great President Trumps foreign policy was and that Trump was the only one who could save the west…and perhaps humanity…Tucker didn’t even acknowledge hearing him.
In his Budapest speech, Tucker said that none of the presidential candidates wanted to do anything to help the people.
He didn’t even put on a disclaimer and say except President Trump.
Tucker is not our friend.
Several on here have suggested that he’s CIA. I have no clue but all this assassination talk certainly fits in with the bad guys.
He did the same assassination talk to President Trumps face in the oppo to Fox News debate.
It felt like Tucker was driven to keep bringing it up.
President Trump didn’t take the bait so Tucker would hit it again.
I found it very awkward.
All I can see is that Tucker is not worthy of the adulation some keep giving him.
Something’s sorely amiss.
You watched a completely different interview with Tucker and his speech in Hungary.
I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish with this out-of-sorts comment.
Agree, grossly mischaracterized.
Not just mischaracterized, but “grossly” mischaracterized?
Would you care to elaborate on what you found so gross?
I thought chooseamerica did a great job of expressing his concerns. He expressed my thoughts perfectly.
Yes grossly.
“He didn’t even put on a disclaimer and say except President Trump.”
Why should he? .”Tucker the impartial interviewer”, will reach more minds than “Tucker the Trump supporter”
“Tuckers isn’t our friend”
He doesn’t have to be. He only needs conduct an interview in balanced manner. not interrupt excessively, not hector, not lecture, not ambush, and also not toady or fawn.
I give him credit for that.
“Several on here have suggested that he’s CIA”
And to date there is zero evidence for this assertion. Daddy doesn’t count.
At least for the robotic Vanderbilt of CNN you can labor an argument, via a short term internship.
”assassination talk certainly fits in with the bad guys.”
What is choosamerica implying here exactly? Is he suggesting that Carlson is part of a conspiracy to harm PDJT?
I choose to believe that by highlighting the possibility, it certainly doesn’t make it easier to plan and employ something so terrible.
“I found it very awkward.”
Honest and open conversations often are unnerving.
“All I can see is that Tucker is not worthy of the adulation some keep giving him.”
Carlson had an open and sincere conversation withPresident Trump. At the request of PDJT, I may add. And Carlson aired it during the primary debate. The interview is now at more than 260,000,000 views.
“Something’s sorely amiss.”
It sure is….
regarding all the chit chat back and forth for the last two pages…all of it. I was a debater in high school and college, and until my mid thirties, i never saw or heard an argument that i strayed from. Then i came to realize most of it was a thorn in the flesh, especially to continue to reiterate the point, thinking i had to batter the opponet into submission and say uncle, which NEVER happened. We all have opinions. But when being what we call supporters of the same cause, how do these personal squabbles help to support the cause? I see the concern in Tucker’s voice for Trump and the country. And i do think there is some benefit in not only making people to consider how evil these folks are, but to speak it publicly also sends a shot across the bow to these criminals. Sad fact is, it has become a zero sum game for both sides. And we have the belief that if they are not defeated soundly, our futures and that of our posterity have Jan 6th realities. On their side, so many have committed treasonous and seditious crimes, that many will be looking at prison or worse. I also see his legitimate concern about these nut jobs starting WW. Tucker’s opinion one way or another along with anyone else will not deter me from voting for Trump…except Trump. One observation of Trump that he has stated many times, is he does have a respect for the opposition, they ALWAYS seem to rarely involve them selves in the practice that our side repeatedly does, which is cannibalizing each other before we reach the finish line. I understand that is in part, because we are the free thinking bunch. But i would suggest that you state your opinion, but keep your cool, and direct all that extra energy on the prize. I appreciate all the thoughts and observations. Just avoid making it personal.
“But i would suggest that you state your opinion, but keep your cool, and direct all that extra energy on the prize. I appreciate all the thoughts and observations. Just avoid making it personal”.
You may be replying to the wrong post.
If not, how would your sentiments apply to my previous post?
.
I see how “gross” comes into your views. It reminds me of speaking to a dem or a rino. I don’t know where to begin because the universe you inhabit is so different from mine.
As a start, I don’t see fear mongering as “honest and open communication.” Tucker makes money by getting attention, which he clearly wanted to do when at the end of the interview he tried to get President Trump to talk about it again ( and after the interview Tucker keeps bringing it up). That is not open and honest. That is “talk about what gets ratings”.
You also made a giant assumption when you accused the poster of assuming Tucker was in on some nefarious plot. The point was Tucker is out for Tucker (ratings translate into money) and not necessarily for helping us solve our problems. Solving our problems is what matters to me and the poster.
For example, Tucker could bring light to the indictments and new evidence of election fraud in Georgia and Michigan or maybe even the J6 situation — any of which could help us.
You apparently are at odds with the poster’s CIA comment. The CIA tries to control the narrative. With this fear mongering Tucker is doing that as well.
He also in my view achieved that with the J6 tapes. He was going to say something about something, but then he shut it all down without a word. We are all left wondering if a nefarious issue exists, which is “was Tucker warned not to talk”? What did this whole incident achieve?
Well, apparently everyone us now afraid to say anything about the J6 tapes, so in effect Tucker shut down that line of discourse, an investigation of which could have helped us. Doesn’t that sound like the kind of thing the CIA would do? At a minimum, that is a reasonable question.
And here’s the thing. We all desperately need to get to the bottom of J6. The enemy desperately wants to keep us from doing that. Instead, due to Tucker, that line of investigation is dead and people are now paying attention to fear mongering.
So, yeah, Tucker has shown he is not our friend. Whether on purpose or for his benefit in any one instance we could argue. But clearly Tucker is not moving our side forward, though he is making lots of money.
As for other comments you thought were gross, here’s a news flash: People will not always agree with you. Even so, that doesn’t necessarily make their opinions worthy of your distain.
Well, if you really are wondering, chooseamerica is simply commenting on his thoughts about the Orban interview.
See, just like you have thoughts, so do the rest of us.
I watched the interview and I agree 100 percent
with chooseamerica. Tucker is not our friend.
if you are triggered by Abigails thoughts/opinions , why not just skip over them?
Tag team operation, Caleb. IMHO
Also IMHO, I think Tucker is hammering the point that Banana Republic’s have only a few ways to deal with the opposition.
One is jailing the opposition and is an ongoing operation.
Tucker provided a quarter billion impressions for PDJT, while the Keebler’s were in the millions. Nobody else could provide that amount of coverage.
Who does a better interview, seriously I want to know?
I am not “triggered” (and it probably doesn’t matter, but isn’t that a favorite word of the dems?).
I do wonder why you are trying to control what I read and comment about.
However, if you feel “triggered,” maybe you should take your own advice and skip ahead when you see my name?
Choose, if you watched some of Tucker’s recent stuff on X, you’d know he has said more than once, “I love Donald Trump!” Very sincerely, too.
It was one of many elephants in the room when Tucker brought up the possibility of assassination. And from everything I know of human nature, Tucker bringing that subject up on a widely-viewed public forum helps make it LESS likely that Trump will be assassinated.
It’s still the election fraud that makes me despair for 2024. Nothing has been done to prevent the same 5 Demoncrat-controlled big cities–Detroit, Philly, Madison, Phoenix, Atlanta—from closing down their giant counting stadiums again (if they’ll even need to, they’re doubtlessly much better prepared than they were last time), and cheating all they like.
There’s no chain of custody on all those giant pallets of ballots they forklife into those giant stadiums, either. Not SECURE chain of custody. Not to mention the way they somehow “count” so many of the machine votes via Spain and other foreign countries (um, why is this allowed again?)
I’ll vote, we all gotta, but I think we’ll only ever have President Trump again in our dreams, even as we’ll be trapped in the nightmare of another 4 years of moronic, money-mongering Marxism…
Where did he make this comment ??
See the Tucker / Trump interview in its entirety.
Tucker brought it (possible assassination) up about 3 times and Trump deflected every time.
I commented on that at the time.
Tucker also abruptly changed the subject and appeared shaken when Trump mentioned the CIA also during that interview.
Go back to Sundance’s post with the livestream (recorded hopefully) if it is still available.
I watched the interview with Tucker the night it was broadcast. My question to “Someone” was in reference to PDJT being too old to be president. I think “Someone” 🤔 may be confused. But thanks for reply😊😊
✅
It was the interview with Dave Portnoy.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/08/tucker-carlson-episode-21-tucker-interviews-barstool-sports/
If you did a quick search you would’ve seen where Tucker made the comment about “too old.” However, you don’t need to do that now because Hoosier gave you the link.
I did a quick search and got returned a full page of links because Tucker’s comment was picked up by several news sources.
If you want a link, just ask for it. I don’t see the need to suggest another commenter is “confused.”
The Tucker Carlson interview with President Trump had 260 million views and IT WAS GREAT!
He did interview today
Tucker Talks to Adam Carolla “We Are Speeding Towards Assassination”
👆👆click above to watch
I watched the interview.
Tucker speaks truth.
A LOT of avatars are rising up “speaking truth” in order to gain some credibility,…but they will burn you if you foolishly fall for it.
RDS, ELON, Tucker and RFK JR. are all the real “anti-Trump” effort,..don’t fall for it.
Take a deep breath.
Loosen your grip, or you’re going to crack a pearl.
Wow.
People who don’t agree with you have to keep quiet?
If you don’t agree with something, it would be more productive if you discuss the issue instead of launching a personal attack.
“People who don’t agree with you have to keep quiet?”
Your words, not mine.
You seem to be stirring.
I know they weren’t your words. That’s why I did the translation.
And you are correct that I don’t like to see someone attempting to silence others.
I don’t think Tucker said anything about President Trump being too old!
Again, it was in the Dave Portnoy interview.
When and where did he say that?
I am so disappointed if this is true.
Do a search on Tucker said President Trump is too old. You’ll get a whole page of links because several news sources picked up Tucker’s comment.
Or look at Hoosier in these comments. He posted one of the links.
But! But! Fox News?!!!
DenSanti should have waited until 2028. He got too greedy. Too close to the Bushies. Iraq and afghanistan debacle still fresh on people’s mind.
He loved the attention the GOPe were giving him! They probably made him think he was inevitable!
A lot of the people funding his campaign now would have no interest in funding one in 2028 because his only usefulness to them was as a battering ram to destroy Trump with.
Pretty much this. He is a good governor, but he should have read the room. The American people want revenge. I think DeSantis is genuine, but he’s paying the price for not staying in his lane.
From the get go, I have suggested he stay in his lane, on the Turnpike, and take care of Florida.
Things are coming out about how he is not focused on the Floridians and the financial mess they are in related to auto and home owners insurance, for starters.
He follows the the book on disaster response and and has good people in that realm that make a lot of recovery possible…and that is good, but that is not the only problem Floridians face right now. And the legislature is doing nothing to fix the messes, either. A lot of the emergency response strategy and tactics were born of 9/11 and Katrina, so the recovery is not a botched effort….which came about, IMHO, out of the Bush years…and the public private marriage.
Swamps are old and deep…
A Florida governor is expected to be “on it” when they are in charge of a state that is surrounded by waters that are incubators for tropical storms. There is nothing extraordinary about Ronda in that regard.
Carl Rove’s whiteboards have the sads. His unblemished record of promoting losers continues!!!
I actually thought after the hurricane his numbers would go up
Here comes Youngkin
“Youngkin”- Fox Business has plugged this governor’s name for the last 48 hours.
Youngkin cannot even carry VA against Trump.
He hasn’t really accomplished anything that he ran on there & the people aren’t happy. His decades long tenure at Carlyle Group is also a losing hand.
But WRVA’s Jeff Katz worships the ground Glenn walks on. Man won’t shut up about him. I haven’t forgotten Lt. Gov Sears and how she trashed Trump after the ’22 midterms.
I really fell for Sears. PDJT was really supportive of her. Her trashing him now surprised me. 😮
Saddened and disappointed me.
Hasn’t Youngkin declined? He said he has no interest in running against Donald Trump
“Hasn’t Youngkin declined?”
If he did, that already makes him smarter than Meatball.
Not difficult
According to Baris, The People’s Pundit, they called Youngkin and he told them not to call again unless DJTs campaign fell apart.
Youngkin will do worse than Meatball.
What’s a yuck in?
See my response to Aggiegirl above vis a vis FLA governors and hurricanes.
LOL .
He could have been a contender
I’ve made mistakes in my life, boy will this one hurt if true
The question is when do the never-Trump media and Conservative Inc bloggers (you know the pseudo-mencken flag raising comedy blogger, the hot-air boys and the rest) take the finger out and roll over to Trump?
May of 2024, just like they did as Cruz shills in ’16.
Now it’s a question of Jeb DeSantis trying to save face so that he’ll be viable in 2o28 — but it’s too late now. He’s cooked his own goose and needs to apply for a job at Home Depot.
Not qualified for that either!
I’ve said it before, but he’ll go the Liz Cheney route. Either high priced consultancy for a think tank or a tenured professorship at some ideologically aligned university
Maybe Disney World can find something for him…
Lobbyist.
For Disney.
Casey can be a Disney Wedding Planner, that way she can wear her tiara.
Tiaras made of cubic zirconium.
A university where he can drink with the under age female students ? 😉 😏
Guess they thought the hurricane would give everyone a good cover story that would allow him/them a convent way out. You know the old “I need to focus on they great people of Florida…”
The story a Floridian put on here last night will not help either.
It said RDS approved a 20% Florida Power and Light increase and they gave him a 9,5 million dollar campaign donation.
Hes corrupt as can be.
Property taxes in some areas of Florida are skyrocketing. My brother-in-law is moving to Arkansas because his just went up 125%.
Jill Casey Black’s dishonest tweet about the 100 year old oak tree did NOT help her cause. She wrote on Twitter that the tree fell on the house, but RD had to tell the truth “‘I don’t know that it fell on like the residence per se. I think it was a little bit off to the side,’ he said. He noted ‘if they do cut down the whole tree that’s just going to be more room for my kids to hit baseballs.’
The Daily Mail Comments Section is BRUTAL!!!! They just cannot read the room. Victims Are Us At Any Cost & then the disgraceful spot with Sean Hannity in front of the diseased tree🤡
From the Comments:
“The mansion grounds include a screened swimming pool, cabana, exercise room, and beautiful brick patio area. There is also a greenhouse and its adjacent rose garden”
>Oh No!!!! Lord not “A” tree. Meanwhile in other parts of Florida.. Entire homes are being washed away and torn apart.
>She probably didn’t “reveal” that a tree fell over, though she may well have “mentioned” it.
>Boo hoo hoo. Falling on the property is not the same as falling on the house.
>Desantis and crew desperate for any publicity
>Im sure thousands of other people
have had trees falling some on their homes and businesses. Whats so special about you.
>Nobody cares
>Looking for a pity party because the poll presidential numbers are down.
>Thoughts and prayers
I refrained from including the comments about her face and desperate desire to be JackieO 2.0 😬
Never back down backed down fast.
I never thought he would be the first out.
Well technically the mayor of Miami was 1st but it should have been Ron.
Odd, I know what you mean Deb but from the beginning RDS/NBD had the feel of Jeb!, Scott Walker, and the ’96 Phil Gramm campaigns.
NBD didn’t back down.
It folded up!
Sounds good. But no plan for how to defeat our real enemy yet. While we have been worried about Meatball for the last 10 months, the Wizard is consolidating his gains and trying to control the entire outcome. We have targets on our backs while we continue to argue with each other about the details of who can belong and who can’t belong to MAGA.
The great farming community is getting a bit apprehensive as next year’s harvest is looking like it is being lost this year if the farmers cannot get the mules to come out of the barns and till the soil in time for the collard greens harvest next year. We may have to settle for cauliflowers if we can’t get them moving.
This doesn’t work for me. I can’t even follow acronyms very well. Where did I leave my cheat sheet. It looks like I won’t pass the test without it.
Well, at least Meatball lost his bloated physical self
-too.
Whadda putz 🤮
So the “Never Back Down” Suuper PAC is backing down…
Oh, the irony!
God, I love the smell of shedenfrude in the morning,…it smells like VICTORY!

All I can think of is the millions upon millions DeSantis wasted at a time that the state of Florida could use it in so many ways.
Bob Good
Ken Cuccinelli
Chip Roy
Steve Cortes
Thomas Massie
Dead wood on the Ron Desantis payroll
Bob Good is head and shoulders above those 4 cheap opportunists many times over. He just endorsed the wrong guy, but will be 100% with Trump.
I am sure he will be looking you up for a job referral.
None of the money spent by DeSantis would have gone to Floria in any way it was campaign donations. Those donors wouldn’t just hand that money over without strings attached.

How did we know this would happen? He has ruined his chances as governor and now his chance as president. He was doing awesome as the governor and he got star struck, now he’s ruined both his chances
Deb, please do not start crying, you will get my screen wet.
“He was doing awesome as the Governor.” No, it seems Meatball was always a no good RINO. Anything he did in Florida was purposely ‘staged’ to get him to this level.
His handlers thought they were so clever.. remember when meatball trafficked those illegal border jumpers to a motel?
The cocktail class really thought they had us this time..
Yup, all of that “Governor if the Free State of Florida” was CRAP, staged managed from day one, and all to set him up to be the “more palatable alternative to Trump” and far too many fell for it, and are,still in denial that it was a con, and that they fell for it.
And, they continue to display their denial, with comments like “he coulda been a contender, such a shame”; they just don’t get it, …
And Dan Bongino is still assisting with the stage management. I am waiting for Danny boy to make his attempt to square the Trump/DeSantis circle he created for himself.
It would be hilarious to watch them ‘strike the set’, to borrow an old theatre phrase, except RDS is so 2018 now that everything about that production is so boring.
10:30 est. Poll: PDJT-61% Desantis-9% He fell down and can’t get up…
Poor little Casey.
She’ll have to retire her camo pants and Mamas for Ron T shirt.
And her kid’s princess dress.
Wasn’t there also a tiara in there somewhere?
I think she rented the tiara. It was tacky. Oh’ the gloves were tacky .
Well her one outfit IMHO was more reminiscent of Megan Markle than our FLOTUS.
The outfit was way overdone for the event.
as for kemp,whats the law in georgia for him running for prez while still governor?if he has to step down i don’t see him doing it.he won’t be there to screw up the election what i see is it looks like haley is picking up steam(or they are making it look like she’s gaining support)so she must be the new chosen one.
Haley ain’t picking anything up. Just noise in the signal. Meaningless.
Good riddance
RDS ““I think when you have situations like this, you’ve got to put the interests of the people first” DeSantis said Monday during a press conference. (DUH)
When I read the headlines coming from one website :”DeSantis Not Letting Politics Distract Him From Hurricane Response”, referencing what RDS so ingeniously opined about duty first.
There had been a few writers at this one website who have gradually been coming out with headlines and articles as such above; the latest being “Hurricane Response Reveals Ron DeSantis’ Competence and Leadership and Trump’s Pettiness” ..
literally accusing Trump of “attacking” RDS in 4 separate videos; none of which carry any of the alleged attack soundbite.
Their posting to Twitter with “Oh and Trump hasn’t posted about the hurricane at all” was issued late after RDS issued his inane comment. Timeline of Trump’s message to Florida was the next day. Clearly it wasn’t good enough because he’s spent time attacking RDS first. Nothing about Biden naturally.
These guys have been laying the groundwork to diminish Trump.
What’s happening is that “Putting politics aside” (may) save face?
TRUMP 2024!!
BRAVO!! Well done Sundance.
Getting never back down to back down was truly a grassroots movement! It’s alternative news and media outlets like TCT that led the charge on exposing the meatball and his astro turf campaign. Getting the word out and treepers spreading the news contributed to the sunlight exposure that melted his campaign! Keep the information coming. The boat is getting lighter with all the rats jumping ship.
All things considered, I am deeply grateful to Ron DeSanctus.
He exposed oodles of pseudo MAGA operatives it may otherwise have taken years to out.
He exposed himself as an opportunistic DS accommodating swamp critter.
He tanked his chance of landing in the WH in 2028 when the odds are against us having discovered his true nature in time ala Bush.
He exposed the billionaire class for who we suspected they were much sooner.
Well done, Ronda, now please go away.
I knew from when they announced the Super PAC name supporting DeSantis was Never Back Down, it was a dumb name, cause Ron! was never going to be the nominee, as long as the voters actually decided.
¡Jeb! 3.0
No wonder Brian Kemp is out there cheerleading for a corrupt Democrat AG and her fraudulent case against Trump.
Kemp fears exposure
or his life
Here in the summer of 2023, it is abundantly clear even at this early date that Donald J. Trump will be the Republican nominee for President in 2024; and further, he will be the 47th President of the United States in 2025 — unless he can be stopped through either (a) massive election fraud perpetrated throughout the spring, summer, and fall of 2024, a level of fraud which absolutely dwarfs that which occurred in 2020; or else (b) assassination.
Are you Tuckers writer “assassination.”
Trillions are at stake here. They killed Seth Rich and Jeffrey Epstein for a lot less. The topic of a possible assassination attempt is now being raised not just by Tucker Carlson, but among other leaders in the MAGA movement such as Steve Bannon and Seb Gorka.
As time goes on, more concerns will be raised as the inevitability of Donald Trump as the likely 47th President of the United States becomes obvious to everyone who might lose big if he is elected in 2024.
They got tired of throwing money down the Desantis rat hole, and decided to go out back and burn it in the Weber instead. At least you can cook weenies over it.
Ronnie D. is a cooked weenie! Bahahaha
Sad!
…I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed.
Ronnie, there is only one true MAGA candidate and you ain’t him.
With this happening, is there still any relevance to his meeting with Kemp..,do you think? If so, what?
I think it would be great if the donors showed up at the debates and left their marionettes at home.
Mark Levin had DeSadsack on his radio show tonight. Levin was lavishing praise upon Ron as America’s governor and what a wonderful job he was doing in Florida. Levin is another fake conservative taking orders from the ruling class.
I am sure that the sinking ship SS DeLoser campaign begged Levin for some airtime.
All Ron had to do, was salute the flag and support DJT, and he **might** have pulled off GHWBush’s coat tails trick in 2028.
Now, after his about face/frank DeepState reveal, signaled with the Mar a Lago banana republic raid and his Jeb!2.0666 campaign after his gubernatorial campaign promises to FL voters, his career is a steaming pile of doggie doo.
And they said Yalies are smart…
We dodged a bullet on this one.
Thanks be to God.
Tucker is not a full-on vocal Trump supporter because he is as close to a journalist as regards on-air bias as we have; yet he is clearly on the side of restoring the Republic. Despite his commentary at times on what he views as Trump’s political failings–most of them directed at his personality style, and never disrespectfully,–to see him as a CIA stooge is just paranoia. There is no one in the Republican primary he is elevating–not his job as a legitimate commentator on current scenes and society. He’s not on anyone’s campaign left or right and there is no Democrat–excepting possibly RFK Jr. that he has a good word for. But his overall scorecard from his multiple shows and interviews clarifies he is no globalist, no socialist, and no deep stater. His contempt for those who are is evident. That leaves, by elimination, if not by endorsement, Donald Trump as his, as ours, only hope.
But muh Georgia!!
The question I have is, where is the money going? They might not be backing Meatball, but they’re not going to allow PDJT to win without a fight. Will they back a socialist?
Ronnie needs to just drop out and fix Florida’s ills. Next time around it will be his turn and this time leave the Bushies, Roves and Paul Ryans in your dust.
He will not have another turn.
The Greedy Old Possums needed a Kamikaze Kandidate the way the Dems needed a Vegetable.
One time good deal, don’t care if he destroys himself because he’s just a dull tool.
Now we’ve all seen who he is, his corruption in the state is inconveniently bearing rotten fruit and that will only get worse, and his controllers know he is hated and unlikeable.
This is his turn, and it’s over.
Same people who came up with “Never back down” were the ones that came up with the title for Hillaries book, “what the F happened?!!”
Guess “never” doesn’t really MEAN “NEVER” it was just sort of aspirational bragadacio, huh?
Eat poop and die, all of you RDS fans,…lol.
Why is CTH so pro-Trump? Is CTH a Russian operation?
You’re new here, the answer is contained in almost every article.
Stick around and broaden your mind. We won’t hand feed you information.
Use the brain the good Lord gave you and find the answer.
Nor do we often rise to deliberate taunts.
Russian operation, best laugh I’ve had this evening.
Hoosier….I am a scrappy little Irish/Scottish type….
I will rise to the occasion…I have the scrappy spunk of the “south siders” and every now and then, will rise to the occasion… am wondering if its a troll?
I’m thinking it is a troll to derail the conversations happening here.
I admire your scrappy nature. My dad always cautioned me that I shouldn’t start a fight but I better finish it. Mom was 5’2″ of pure firecracker and started many a scrap.
I would say I’m somewhere in between. 😉
Why? Let me sum it up as briefly as I can…
This is a group of hard working Patriotic Americans who have read The Constitution and now understand that many politicians have jumped on board the WEF Socoialist Communist train and are not working for America. Politicians installed who enjoy a weaponized state of lawfare…
The article are well written and well researched.
Because this is a group of people who now understand what is going on. God fearing, God loving “We the People”…the “Forgotten Men and Women” who are tired of politicians financially raping us every 4-8 years while they lie about it as we try, daily…
To Live Our Best Lives….
Assuming you’re not just making a “muh Russians” joke … CTH is pro-Trump because Trump is the only candidate running for president who genuinely offers something different in economic, trade, energy, and foreign policy. The other candidates on both sides are basically the same on all these major issues. They’re all completely beholden to the same donors and big money interests.
Simply put, Trump represents “America first” putting the safety and prosperity of the American people first. All the others are committed globalists working to shift American wealth overseas for the benefit of foreign interests and oligarchs.
Do you possess a subhuman IQ? An FBLie Plant working for DeSanctoid the Clown, paid off by the Bushtardian Class of RINOs?
Those are better questions.
Trump on Truth Social:
“DeSanctimonious unnecessarily approved a 20% hike in Florida Electricity Rates, the largest in history (by far!), after taking a 9.5 Million Dollar Campaign Contribution from “money machine” Florida Power and Light, and subsidiaries. Next up to check out is the Insurance Industry, where DeSanctus gave up the store.”
https://is.gd/qORVYe
When empty, my little abode down in the Arrive Alive state, I had a recent electric bill of $75….even Com Ed of IL is not that bad.
Haven’t enjoyed this much popcorn since Jeb burned through 100MM.
Please Clap….

Told Ya. DeSantis Going Broke. Was Only Matter of Time
Told ya, folks.
DeSantis’ campaign is going broke and now Never Back Down PAC is hitting the panic button. Jeff Roe got rich and wants to milk the cow for all it is worth before the lights go out.
DeSantis’ financials in July showed an unsustainable burn rate and financial situation worse than Scott Walker. PACs cannot run campaigns, aside from the legal conflicts there are things a campaign must do separate from a PAC.
The campaign not knowing it was going broke until the filing deadline was a big red flag. Then came that FEC letter demanding explanations for expenditures and misfilings, the deadline for which is rapidly approaching.
Now the PAC, which NBC News reported today was pulling out of all states except for Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada. Erin Perrin is such a stupid moron she actually called them the “first three”.
Nevada IS in the first three and she should most definitely know it comes on Feb 6, BEFORE South Carolina on Feb 24.
Via Jonathan Swan:
Jeff Roe, recorded w/o his knowledge, tells donors:
-Needs $50m ASAP
-Needs $5m/mth to sustain Iowa operation
-DeSantis has 60 days to beat Trump
-Placing bets now hoping donors cover them later
-Nikki Haley “is not actually a lovely person” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/31/us/politics/de
santis-super-pac-audio.html
Happy & grateful to see that Sundance is back on the job so soon after the hurricane.
GOD IS. GOOD!!!
Note: A picture does paint a thousand words. DeFraud is pretty in pink… LoL.
https://twitchy.com/justmindy/2023/08/31/desantis-super-pac-shifting-support-to-trump-n2386774 has this to say about John Thomas’ “Ron to the Rescue” campaign fund:
(1) This fund was an “Unauthorized DeSantis ScamPAC”.
(2) It “was never associated with DeSantis in any way”. “The guy behind this PAC is a scam artist that never got anywhere near DeSantis.”
(3) The PAC “paid its founder 75% of the $1,621 it raised”, as of the 2022 year-end report. In the mid-2023 report, it had no cash to give to either DeSantis or Trump.
(4) John Thomas claimed he had a secret $50M in commitments, but actually raised $291.01 this year [2023].”
(5) “Apparently, some people associated with the PAC had previous fraud allegations when they allegedly did not supply masks as contracted during the pandemic.
NEW: GOP operatives launched BLUE FLAME MEDICAL to provide PPE through a connection to a Chinese-state-owned firm. Blue Flame received $$$ from state & local gov’ts, but didn’t deliver the PPE. Now it’s under federal investigation & facing refund demands https://t.co/YIT1lyteAd”
I don’t know about the “Never Back Down” Super PAC, but that’s what the article says about John Thomas’ “Ron to the Rescue” PAC.
So John Thomas (two first names always gets my spidey-sense tingling) now “supports” Trump.
My guess is Johnny thought there was going to be easy money amongst the “Trump without the mean tweets” followers only to learn what SD told us a year ago…ain’t nothin’ there but astroturf and consultants who take selfie-lunches.
What John Thomas will soon learn, and would know if he read the hundreds of comments here, none of us are going to give to any PAC not having the Trump Seal of Approval.
These “professionals” are nothing but grifters.
Never Back Down PAC was Ken Cuccinelli’s “baby”. Do a web search for “Ken Cuccinelli” never Trumper and you’ll turn up plenty to read!
Ken is a mean spirited SOB based upon my brief interactions with him back in June being a Republican Comitteman here in Texas!!! 😑
They are all mean SOB’s, there’s a type. That’s why I give Trump so much credit, especially for endurance.
