Ron DeSantis has dropped out of the 2024 Republican primary.
The career diminished Florida Governor is trying to save face and has endorsed Donald Trump. The announcement comes at 02:20 of the video below. WATCH:
.
The next few days will be fraught with demands to unite the clans. However, please remember the proven and demonstrably accurate axiom: Never Trust a Never Trumper.
The Ron DeSantis campaign was built upon a foundation of fraud. Long planned as an effort to destroy the threat that MAGA represents to the Republican apparatus, nothing about the DeSantis campaign was grassroots, authentic, natural or real. The Sea Island organized campaign was a specific and detailed approach driven by the professional political class. Ron DeSantis was a vessel, a willing vessel, for the deliberate schemes and Machiavellian intents of the worst elements in USA Republican politics.
WE CANNOT UNITE with that group. Think about it.
Supporters of Ron DeSantis either knew of the Never Trump intents, or they were not smart enough to see the supernova flares of manipulation that were triggered from the outset. Either way, cunning or stupid, I do not want to camp with them. It is what it is.
Take the endorsement and carry on.
Ron and Casey will be divorced within two years.
Does anyone remember an article that mentions that DeSantis running was pre-planned and was backed by Bush ?
Treepers know Sundance was first and best on the entire sordid tale.
We waged a war in these very threads as simps and bots fought us all the way.
Taking Bets….How long do you think it will be before DeSantis changes the Florida law so he can run for Governor again?
It’s all he has left…
I said yesterday, on this site, he was on his way back to Fl when he made that fake trip to SC. Marquis, you got a screen shot…?😆😆
It seems so long ago now….. lolol

Karl says to Ron,”Look. If George Bush can be elected President so can you. George is a drunk and an idiot,and he won two terms. I know the game. You are much cleaner and we’ll run you as Trump without the baggage.”
You rock!!
And in the end, after all his whining, he kisses the ring. 😉
Does anyone remember an article that mentions the DeSantis running was pre-planned and included the Bushes and the Hunts and his conservative actions in FL. Were to secure Maga voters?
Ron is DONE
he exposed himself as weak, a puppet, a RINO, a fake
Ron DeSantis: Cultural MAGA Crisis Actorhttps://www.culturalmaga.com/p/134-ron-desantis-cultural-maga-crisis-actor
But he will be the main RINO running by the Republican party in 2028. He proved he can and is bought by the Republican Party RINOS.
I threw up in my mouth with the president’s head on that blithering idiot’s body.
The ‘believe me’ look throughout and actually having the gall to say ‘no candidate has had more thrown at him’. That would be President Trump, not you!
A few mean tweets > massive lawfare. . .
DeSantis just endorsed Trump.
Who cares?
I didn’t hear him say that. He did mention Lawfare though, and it’ll be interesting to see if DeSantis, eager to clean up his image, jumps into the fray on that topic.
It’s good that Lawfare is becoming a household name.
Attn: President Trump … DON’T LET ANY OF HIS STAFF NEAR YOUR CAMPAIGN!!!! EVER!!!
…and don’t let Steve Cortes on any conservative media.
Too late. He was on Varney on Friday.
Aw shucks. And I was just about to apply for the Fat Lady job. 😟
Fani already got the nod.
Beat out by STACY
You win!
Hey Rob! F. U.
We want MAGA. We never asked for or wanted the Sweet’N Low dietetic version. We want the real deal.
Hey Nikki Birdbrain, we don’t want the NutraSweet Nimarata version either. Go away.
He did not endorse Trump, for what I can see. Just said he will support the nominee. And he’s suspending his campaign rather than dropping out.
Had he ended the campaign he would have been morally (if not legally) obligated to return any unspent contributions. This way, he can keep the money for “other” political activities.
This way, he can keep the money for “other” political activities.
Exactly. Politicians will always find a path to keep as much of the money that comes their way as possible. By suspending the campaign he’s simply following the rules laid out for him, and all the others.
I just got an email from Trump saying Ron DeSantis endorsed me.
And Trump says he is honored to have Rob’s endorsement.
You gotta love politics.
TBF – The Bush Family – have they now swung over to support Nikki?
I think they have been in the background over on Nikki’s side for a while, because she sounds to me like a Bushie -like she wants to be in their good graces – to get their help In New Hampshire –
Would it be too much to hope for to have Ken Paxton as VP -or better to have him as AG? Or much better for him to stay in Texas as AG and then run for Governor of Texas?
Would love to see Paxton as Governor. Abbott is a complete and utter failure.
Yes he is. He’s an empty vessel just as DeSantis is. Same cloth, same supporters.
Would love to have Paxton as our governor.. Abbott has run is course has tendency to react instead of planning a business model…
Something about a birdbrain with 2 bushes?
Remember, PDJT is a MacLeod on his mothers side, and as they said in the excellent movie the Highlander, “There can be only one”
This MacLachlan supports the MacLeod…
Aye lassie, we all do.
Hey! I come from MacLachlan stock too! But am American first.
Howdy!
Well Howdy! We are probably related! Yes, me too…American first…my part of the Clan ran off to Ireland way back…my dad is a Kiwi…St Patrick’s Day is interesting in my world…however…
Burn’s Night is on January 25 and I will skip the Haggis….
“I will skip the Haggis” haha!
The only Scotch I have in me is MacCallan
Welcome aboard mate!
Ya, I did the Haggis for Robert Burns once, once was enough!
My great grandmother Amelia MacLachlan was born in Dublin. So we could very well be related!
MacDonald here does as well my friend Aggiegirl. A Scot you are? I should have known!
Not Irish at all, but my Polish husband plays a mean bagpipe.
Does that count?!
Your in, bring the pierogi’s
MacLoughlin too
So, did he do this so that the never-Trump vote can coalesce around Haley? Seems entirely possible given the no endorsement endorsement.
Very good , and hopefully PDJT’s other opponents will soon drop out of the race too , namely Jack Smith and Fani ._
With all due respect, Trump should have been much more respectful of Meatball.
More respectful of a backstabbing corporate shill?
How about LESS respectful. . .
Sorry, my post was meant to be sarcastic. That is why I called him Meatball. 🙂
It took me a few refreshes to see that.
That’s Norm MacDonald-level comedy, you know.
Brilliant, and over a lot of heads.
Yeah, and he shouldn’t have called bush “low energy”, made fun of “the face”, etc.
So disgusted with the cucumber sandwich crowd, and their bullshit criticisms.
Sorry, I was being sarcastic. I had no problem with what Trump said. I also called him Meatball.
I got it , when you have to explain a joke …
“…more respectful of Meatball”
I can’t stop laughing. 😂
Good one, Dan!
I know! The giveaway!
(Dilley was brilliant…I think he came up with it).
Respectful of the Government Man?
Yale, Bush fraternity, Harvard, Jag, congress, personally paid off by Rupert Murdoch. Respect what ?
Sorry, my post was meant to be sarcastic. I have no problem with Trump calling his opponents names.
Norm MacDonald would have just smiled and waited.
Stop apologizing!
“Meatball “ was a dead giveaway.
You were never taught cursive??
The only good meatball is in a dish of spaghetti.
DeSantis probably sees that Haley stole his support and not any from Trump. DeSantis miscalculated badly when he decided to run. Why did he think characters like Hutchinson, Haley, Scott, Christie. Lots of people, who went through the plandemic vaccine fiasco with us, decided that DeSantis could be better than Trump and went to his camp. This happens in every election cycle and usually the only bad people are the Party leaders and their financiers. I don’t give a damn if people thought they should support DeSantis because of their own ignorance of what was really going on. I don’t think people who can be that easily fooled should be given any wagons in our camp, but I will be more than pleased if most of them will decide to vote for PDJT.
The monied interests will begin the smear campaign on Wednesday morning and we will need every vote we can get. Remember, the trillions are still at stake and no member of the Uni-Party will give up until they know they have no chance. Politics is a strange world of self created characters, and 10 months is usually an eternity in their world. We have to be resolute and we have to expect anything that can be tried will be tried in big league politics. We are aware! Lets just focus on making more people aware enough to help us. DeSantis voters mostly want to save our country and make it great again, just like us. Even if Meatball let them down they still have votes to cast. I am pretty sure PDJT understands all of this already.
This seems to be the shortest splitter strategy season yet.
😂
You have to remember that the vast majority of the population are not well read, or up to date, on the factual details of how the world truly operates. And a huge percentage of those would be unable to metabolize the truth if they were to be apprised of it. They are to be pitied.
I’m not defending De Santis (or Bill Clinton) but..
I think De Santis got a financial offer he couldn’t refuse, while being told that PDJT would never make it through the gauntlet that awaited him. He may even have believed he was the next best option – his wife was obviously all-in on the scheme.
De Santis has always reminded me of Clinton (as President) – an immature person who’s just having ‘a good time’ with all the power and attention. To me, it seemed like when De Santis started to realize what was involved in running for President and what his life would be like (with the people he owed calling the shots) if their plan succeeded, that’s when he started to fall apart. I have no idea if that was his intention or not.
DeSantis does NOTHING unless he is told. This is a plan of the Deep State.
Let’s see who’s polls improve the most over the next 2 days. I am betting on Trump. The splitter strategy was get Haley in and Trump out this week. DeSantis had in New Hampshire. 80% of those voters will go to Trump and at least 50% of DeSantis voters will also go to Trump. If we can get the Repugs in New Hampshire to vote heavy on Tuesday, we will win it by 10% easily, even with the Demcommie voters pulling for Haley. But all you New Hampshire Repugs better go vote!
DeSantis was polling at 6% Sunday morning. Even Susunu downplayed Hailey’s potential outcome which really must have pissed her off, as they drove in Sununu’s Mustang this weekend to make appearances.
Ron DeSantis- soon to be a spokesdope for cowboy boot lifts.
FTW!
“… Never Trust a Never Trumper …” … Thank you Sundance !!!
Watching what DeSantis didn’t do for his private citizen, Donald Trump when Mar -a- Lago was illegally invaded … then … what he allowed the bushCARTEL to do to him – says it all.
If DeSantis was a true America First Conservative – he would NEVER allow anyone or anything to interfere, influence or destroy his 2028 destiny!
Instead … DeSantis confirmed his hollow core.
Good riddance !!!
I agree, that was the end of any hope for DeSantis, ever, when he completely failed to prevent, push back, pipe up sternly even, or in any way protect a Florida citizen from the excess of this fascist regime, nothing that was within his power to do.
That was the end of the road for him.
Yep , when the FBI hit Mar Lago and DeSantis was nowhere to be found that made me really disgusted.
Millions of up votes.
Sundance,
Why do you say Ron and Casey will be divorced within two years?
She’s got much higher aspirations than her husband can provide and there is something about her that is very phony.
How is she going higher than Governor?
She wants to be the first Walmart Melania lady !!!!! LOL that is soooo mean and I read it here at the Treehouse !!!
Climbing higher by climbing under?
If ya have to ask,…you just haven’tbeen paying attention.
She had first lady ambitions. She wants more.
“Jill”, her first name, has been the ‘oomph’ behind Dexx….to start with….her fashion statements show a bit of shall we say “plagiarism” regarding the choices of outfits…resembling Ms. Markle and also, our beautiful FLOTUS, Melania. Which led many to believe she had designs on living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave…of course, imitation is the best form of flattery…subsequent to that…her speeches made it sound like she was running for POTUS…
Does this help?
I hope Sundance is wrong, for the very rare time, they’ve got three kids.
Me too, hope they all just ride off together into the sunset. Maybe settle down, plant tomatoes or oranges. Oranges!
You left out, the tape measure she carries in her knock off Gucci Bag..
She don’t like losers.
What actual woman does?
Sundance makes many predictions. When it happens, he reminds us and provides a link to the story with the prediction. Just think, you can scroll down when it happens and see your question from today! 😉
I hope they remember their favorite song and are able to rekindle the romance:
Didn’t we almost have it all, Meatball? When love was all we had worth giving?
The ride with you was worth the fall (and $100 million)
Loving you makes life worth living
Didn’t we almost have it all?
The nights we hold on ’til the morning
You know you’ll never poll that way again
Didn’t we almost have it all?
Trump rally today:
Its gonna be wild!
Woo-hoo!
Not voting for him in 2028. Or ever.
Can you imagine a popular Democrat Governor running against Obama?
They wouldn’t dream of it but Republicans are so desperate, so eager for the leftover crumbs on the table they easily turn on themselves.
When DeSantis made his first campaign event travelling to Israel (it disgusted me!) he was finished for MAGA Republicans in even a Trump Cabinet position. I will never forgive DeSantis!
By ‘traditional politics’ its unfathomable that the D party wouldn’t have replaced Joe as the 2024 nominee, before now.
Conventional political wisdom says an incumbent needs to be at at least 40+% at one year out in order to stand a chance of reelection.
What we are seeing in 2024 is not comparable to any election we have seen in our lifetimes.
They will appoint someone after the primary season is over. Then get to work on those prefilled ballots!
Corey Lewandowski pointed out that once Trump becomes the nominee he can appoint someone to work at the RNC with / in lieu of Ronna. Trump can raise a lot more money with the RNC because there are less restrictions. It will be interesting to see if Nikki and Ronna have an agreement to drag out the primary to keep Ronna autonomous and sabatoge Trump in the General.
If Ronna stands against Trump, she’ll go the way of Fani Willis.
The RNC is dead. Please make your donations directly to President Trump.
The point is to coopt the RNC for a few months to get more beneficial campaign finance rules. They will direct the millionaores and billionaires to write massive checks to the RNC to get out the vote and stop the steal. The RNC is just another tool to win the 2024 election.

Mudar Zahran interviewed in Israel. He explains that the US Military has had it with the globalists starting with George Bush Sr. starting the empowering of Iran. George Bush Sr. started Hamas. George Bush Jr. delivered Iraq to Iran. All the globalist presidents including Biden have all supported the mission to keep the Israel-Palestinian conflict going.
Mudar Zahran will become the new President of the Republic of Jordan, and Palestinians will live there. He will teach all the children there to love everyone, not to hate Jews. This interview helps all understand that the real patriots in the US Military have a plan to create a new Middle East, one in which there is no longer an Israeli-Palestinian conflict. One in which Iran is not empowered but the mullahs meet their maker.
There are more naval assets in the Middle East now, why? To fight Hamas? No, for the US Military to help Israel take on Hezbollah and Iran and all of Iran’s proxies.
Do not pay attention to Biden and Blinken. They are just bleating. They know nothing.
This is about the return of Trump and the beginning of a new paradigm in the Middle East!
Listen to the interview with this Palestinian who does not hate Jews (and I’m Jewish) but he wants all Jews and all Muslims to live in peace in the Middle East.
I cannot imagine this all happening without Donald Trump. I believe this interview will help you connect the dots.
Mudar Zahran is the head of the Jordanian Opposition. But Jordan is currently a dictatorship, so he has to live in England to escape assassination. But I believe he will become the head of a Jordanian Republic which works with Israel to make sure there is peace in the Middle East.
Ron DeSantis is bowing out because it is clear that Trump has already won.
The US Military is run by globalists.
A Glick in time saves nine.
“One of my pet peeves with the US military, that I raise every time I find myself speaking to US military officers, is that they bowed to Arab pressure and wiped Israel off the Middle East map. This they did a number of years ago, when they decided that Israel would be attached to the US military’s European Command while every single Arab state is located in Central Command.
This artificial removal of Israel from the purview of Central Command has bred generations of US military commanders who due to the inherent distortion of their organization, almost necessarily emerge as hostile to Israel after they serve for any significant length of time in Central Command.
In my mind, one of Israel’s top priorities should be to demand that the US military place Israel back in Central Command to end this vile, unfair situation that works to the detriment of the strategic coherence of the US military and of course to the detriment of Israel.”
Caroline Glick
“He will teach all the children there to love everyone, not to hate Jews. “
And how will he do that?
Convert them all from Islam?
“This interview helps all understand that the real patriots in the US Military have a plan to create a new Middle East, one in which there is no longer an Israeli-Palestinian conflict. One in which Iran is not empowered but the mullahs meet their maker.”
Sounds like spin for another trillions of dollars endless war. Afghanistan 2.0 on crack.
We all saw this coming, the only question was, who, if anyone, would he endorse?
Even if it’s only for show I’m glad he endorsed our patriotic President.

SD: “Ron and Casey will be divorced within two years.”
Wow, I hope you’re wrong but your track record cannot be denied.
His political coffin was sealed when he kept his pie hole shut during the Mar-a – Lago raid.
EXACTLY !!!!!!
All of a sudden the four judges in the Trump prosecutions are going to be a whole lot more cautious about their decisions in the cases!!! LOL.
I knew this would happen – just didn’t know when.
Nor why. Didn’t he know from the beginning that he was just being played as a “spoiler?”
His job should always have been: “to try to be the very best GOVERNOR that the people of Florida had ever seen.” And to show his 49 colleagues what a “Governor” could accomplish and how to do it. It’s a full time job.
“He wasn’t elected yesterday.” He should have instantly known from experience what the people who first approached him had in mind, and sent them out the office door with “don’t waste my time.” 🤷♂️
Instead, he neglected his “real job.” And a vitally important job it is.
Blinded by those stars and dollar signs.
Ron sez Never Nikki. Duly noted.
They can’t beat Trump, fair and square.
So now they will worm their way into MAGA.
Teaparty anyone?
Yes that’s exactly how the Deep State took out the Tea Party Movement. They wormed their way into it and managed to take it over just like they sabotaged the trucker protest in America by worming their way into the leadership and persuading our truckers to stop their trucks in Maryland instead of driving into DC like they should have — and were planning to do originally.
Sundance you are so eloquent, that is exactly what I was thinking… However, I had inappropriate language to describe my thoughts on the endorsement..
WOLVERINES!! Always MAGA 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
President Trump, please take ownership of the accusation that you are a “threat to democracy.” Thank God you are!!! Take these moments to remind your accusers that this is a representative republic!! Democracy=socialism=totalatarism.
What is happening here in the UK at the moment is SHOCK.
Was talking to my bro at Christmas , who does not follow US politics beyond CNN news headlines , and he was telling me Trump was finished and would be in jail by Easter.
I just laughed and he called me DUMB.
This week he is like ‘WTF is going on mate ! I thought Trump was finished ! WTF is going on !!?’.
He has no idea about the Russia Hoax , J^ set up etc etc.
But the American people know.
Good Luck for 2024. MAGA !
In fairness, it’s particularly tough for Brits to get the facts when most truth-telling there gets you fined or tossed in jail.
Yep.
The UK is now captured by the WEF/UniParty. No way out. We are done.
Blair totally put permanent political/media control in place and we cannot shift them.
The self-perpetuating/corrupt bureaucracy we all feared.
Talk among yourselves and inform your friends and family of what’s going on as best you can.
That’s what we have to do when we are under a de facto dictatorship.
The Fat Lady whimpered.
.
Well, I’d bet that skinny lady is shrieking . . .
Ron will run for senate or the house. What else is he qualified to do
Given that he can’t be trusted, either of those would be a viable option…
I gather the set of melons on Mrs. SC make her crowd even less smart than Ron’s. The ones that are not “never Trumpers” supporting her are glazed over, with a wife following them.
Mrs. SC will also be divorced within 2 years.
Well now Mr Haley cannot avoid knowing that his skank wife has been cheating on him while he was overseas on deployment. No real man would put up with this.
sundance called it.
wa-powww!
Bye Felicia. And if you actually believe we MAGA corps. will forgive and forget? You best seek different employment
The reaction on Twitter you would think the DeSantis supporters were
the Hillary supporters of 2016
They will not unite behind Trump
they will leave the GOP and become Independents
They will vote down ballot Repubs only
They will now vote RKF jr.
ORANGE MAN IS SO BAD..
Some will even vote Democrat…
Quelle surprise. They were liars from the get go. Rs. Humph. Conservatives. Not. MAGA-Light. Harrumph. They are just bitter losers with not one rational, cognitive brain cell between them. You cannot reason or having meaningful discourse with this kind of blind hatred. Nor can you unite.
So Sunday – good news for PDJT re RDS and momentum —So Monday – expect more indictments , leaks , Judge crazy Releases his 50 billion dollar penalty ruling , maybe even the DC District Court ruling against PDJT , who knows ? Phones are ringing for sure …
For me DeSantis was not “never Trump”, he was just young Trump. DeSantis has a great a future and we’d be lucky to have him as president some day.
If you believe that “he was just young Trump” then you have never fully researched “Young Donald John Trump”.
hey Casey…Gavin Newsome has dumped one wife already…he might be into a strong wommen like yurself… 🤷♂️
So will DeSantis supporters now support Trump or Haley?
527 days ago.
As it was written. So it was done.
🙂
Now do Jamie Dimon.
(I am but the humble CopperTop back for a nudge but I’m sure you’re waaay ahead on that one)

Thanks Sundance. Now I have to mop my kitchen due to gingerale all over floor. I read article and the last line was so unexpected. Too dry for me not to laugh even though I had a mouth full of gingerale. You are the best.
The fraudulent campaign while claiming it was a book tour? The refusal to block the FBI raid of Mar A Lago. No comments after the illegal prosecution of Trump over documents. And on and on. Take care, take it easy and take all your other crap with you too.
OMG, I haven’t seen this in months and had forgotten where i had seen it!
The funniest and most vicious meme of Robby in the entire campaign!
Wow! Just wow! That is just sooooooooooo good! What a fitting tribute to his campaign sputtering out today.
RIP..Rob😪
Today Sununu did verbal battle with Margarete Hamilton that “yes, sure i’ll vote for Trump.”
Ken Langone was quoted last week that he would support Halley all the way, but that when it was all over, you bet, he and all of the never Trump billionaires, would absolutely throw all their resources behind Trump. FJB is just that bad!
What Trump and his current supporters and the Heritage Foundation nerds need to remember is Never Trust a Never Trumper and Personnel is Policy.
Once they come hat in hand, take the support where it helps but DO NOT LET THEM INTO the discussion of personnel.
I have mentioned before that while DeSantis may have looked good and done some good things in Florida, his Harvard Law degree made him suspect. The same for others like Cotton. Why did they run to Harvard and Yale, sometimes before, sometimes after military service? Why if they were always conservative, wish to be indoctrinated at the worst places?
When they oligarchs come offering money and support, take what support you can but DO NOT let them into the discussion of policy.
The Heritage Foundation did a pretty good job of vetting justice candidates and judgeship candidates.
Lets hope their vetting for the new admin and their assembly of the Schedule F roster is as effective.
Don’t let the oligarchs come hat in hand offering to screw it up.
Heritage foundation gave us Kavanaugh and Barrett so hope when new openings occur on that auspicious bench PDJT chooses from his instincts and NOT the Heritage Foundation.
Trump certainly knows more lawyers today than he did in 2016
No offense but ALL law Schools have extreme leftists elitist law professors. It was very bad in 1978 when I went to the Univ. of Denver & i can’t even imagine what it’s like now. And every conservative lawyer or judge has that same training in their background. I often think it’s responsible for these decisions even conservatives err in making every once in a while.
