As I shared last year, the operation behind Ron DeSantis is much deeper than most can fathom. Arguably and factually, we can trace the origin of the DeSantis ’24 objective all the way back to the end of 2017 just before the midterm 2018 races began.
Ron DeSantis left Congress to go after the Florida governor position in 2018. The political apparatus that supported his shift included the Bush clan GOP faction and his career long support system within the Club for Growth.
However, they struggled with the base support in the 2018 Florida primary and ironically needed an assist from the man the DeSantis.Gov operation was constructed to destroy, President Trump.
The people operating the plan were using DeSantis as the 2024 candidate to get the GOP back in the hands of the party establishment. It did not matter if Trump won or lost in 2020; DeSantis was removed in ’18 to preposition for ’24. Against that backdrop, the failure to launch in ’24 must have been exceptionally painful for the DeSantis team. So much effort went into it.
If you stand back and just think about it, from a practical and commonsense perspective, DeSantis seeking some other form of income to achieve Casey’s tiara (avoid divorce), while simultaneously feeding his ego, it becomes not difficult to understand the trajectory of this story.
(InTouchWeekly) – […] 45, still has nearly three years left as the Sunshine State’s top dog, but insiders say he’s salivating for more — and whispers in the corridors of power are that even though the petulant pol’s presidential dreams have been dashed, his hunger for the limelight hasn’t dimmed.
“Ron wouldn’t hesitate to jump ship for a big TV deal,” reveals a confidant. “He wanted to ditch the governorship to be the president. Sure, Hannity’s radio show isn’t the White House, and it’s not even part of FOX News — but it’s close enough to TV for Ron! (more)
The most common refrain from frustrated Ron DeSantis supporters has been, ‘why didn’t he just wait until 2028’?
With the exception of a small group of political followers in the State of Florida, few people really understood what the DeSantis 2024 operation was all about.
Ron DeSantis ’24 began long before people were paying attention. It started when the top echelon of the GOPe UniParty saw candidate Donald Trump win the November 2016 election.
In January 2017, when the DC stop Trump operation known as Trump-Russia took on a new direction, the Republican apparatus was just as much in opposition to the Trump presidency as the Democrat wing.
The Republican politician exodus from Congress in 2018 wasn’t accidental, nor was the weak effort of the GOPe to win congressional seats in that 2018 midterm election.
Given the elements of the ‘stop Trump’ effort, the House of Representatives was part of the overall ‘stop Trump’ design. House Speaker Paul Ryan didn’t announce his retirement in ’18 ahead of the midterm accidentally; he made the announcement because he knew the Republican leadership’s plan.
Ron DeSantis left Congress, along with Paul Ryan, because Ron DeSantis was going to run for the Florida Governor seat as part of his career move. The people around DeSantis who supported his political career (Ryan, Bush, approved Republican types), along with the Club4Growth (David McIntosh), helped guide DeSantis with the proactive planning. The run for governor in ’18 was always done with the expectation and plan to run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.
Here’s the key point. DeSantis was always going to run for the Republican Party nomination in 2024. There was never a consideration not to do so. He ran for governor in 2018 specifically to set up the run for the Republican nomination in 2024. That was always the plan.
If President Trump won the 2020 election, DeSantis was positioned to run in 2024. If President Trump lost the 2020 election, DeSantis was positioned to run in 2024. DeSantis was going to run in 2024; not running was not an option. Start from that baseline and everything that took place during his tenure as Florida governor then starts to make a lot more sense.
The professionally Republican DeSantis operation always contained the need to co-opt the MAGA Trump movement.
Just like the Tea Party was infiltrated and diminished back to the control of the GOPe in 2012, so too was the plan to infiltrate MAGA and take control in 2024. This is the reason why DeSantis ran in 2018 to mirror the Trump agenda. Winning Florida via overt and very public support for President Trump was part of the design.
The policy agenda of Ron DeSantis was then structured to mirror the priority of the MAGA base. This was pure strategic and political maneuvering, not a fundamental or ideological alignment in common belief with the priorities of the Trump voter.
Again, begin with the end in mind. The end goal was always DeSantis ’24.
What Florida voters saw unfold in 2021/2022 (social policy nods to create bonafides) was precisely the DeSantis goal to create a MAGA image where the Florida governor would be the torchbearer for the MAGA standard. However, quietly behind DeSantis was the originating establishment old guard.
In December of 2021, a full 17 months prior to the May 2023 official announcement, the invitation to the “conservative influencers” was dispatched. Christina Pushaw was now part of the DeSantis ’24 operation, and she organized the January 6, 2022, meeting (pictured below) for that exact purpose.
This January 2022 preparation was why the people in the photograph were so sensitive about the “invitation” when questioned.
If ordinary voters, MAGA people, realized in early 2022 that Ron DeSantis was recruiting “influencers” for the campaign that was scheduled to begin a year later, it would be a risk. The hidden agenda behind the operation would potentially be exposed. The denials about this organization were extreme, and the ridicule over such a simple question was a “telling” indicator.
By the time the calendar took us to mid 2022, the visible datapoints all went in one direction. The activity indicated DeSantis was going to run for the presidency in 2024, because, well, quite simply, Ron DeSantis was going to run for the presidency in 2024. It was going to happen, and everything taking place was being done with this in mind.
The advanced scheduling was done with the 2024 campaign as the baseline. The legislative effort was constructed with the need for policy accomplishments to support the 2023 announcement. Everything, from the moment Ron DeSantis stepped into office as the Florida governor, was predicated on his prior agreement with the professional Republican apparatus to run for the GOP nomination in 2024.
This is why the Republican Governors Association gave DeSantis $20,000,000.00 in 2022. The plan was for DeSantis to transfer the funds to his 2024 campaign, and the RGA was seeding the money in 2022 because they could not do it after he made the announcement in 2023.
It was being done by design, following the originating plan. No one would question the $20 million, even though he didn’t need it, in a reelection year. Also, the RGA could not be seen as putting a finger on the scale for the GOP nomination; so it needed to be done early by design.
The professionally Republican elements, including the DC leadership team, knew Ron DeSantis was going to run for the nomination in 2024. This is the same DC leadership team that supports the removal of MAGA, just like that same leadership team supported the elimination of the Tea Party who were very effective at removing UniParty members through the primary process in 2010 and 2012. Lessons were learned, now the playbook was being duplicated.
The DC leadership team also knew the DOJ team was going to raid Mar-a-Lago. After all, the National Archives was working in the background with the DOJ to formulate the justification for the raid. DC doesn’t keep secrets like this very well and the politically connected knew what was going to happen in advance.
This is the explanation for why the team around Ron DeSantis scheduled his time in the bunker (5 days) to coincide with the ‘shock-and-awe’ FBI raid.
The goal was to hunker down, watch the DOJ/FBI drop bombs on candidate Trump, then have Ron DeSantis emerge from the bunker in Mid-August 2022 with a national endorsement tour, soon to be followed by a soft national campaign kickoff under the guise of a “book tour.”
Hiding this advanced scheduling is why the DeSantis legislative team changed the state rules/laws for tracking the Florida Governor’s travel details. They left nothing to chance. The ruse needed to be maintained. Sunlight, even in hindsight, was/is a real threat.
When you start looking with this specific retrospective in mind, then suddenly there is clarity surrounding the hubris exhibited by everyone in the DeSantis camp, including Casey DeSantis.
Ron left Congress in 2018 to advance his career and position himself for the 2024 GOP nomination. Waiting and running in 2028 was never an option, because running in 2024 was always the original plan. It wasn’t only a grossly inflated sense of self-importance that drove the decision, although that has always been a character trait of Ron DeSantis, the 2024 race was the original plan supported by every member of the pro-DeSantis team.
Once you realize the reality of Ron and Casey’s one-way ticket, then you start to recognize how cunning and deceitful they are. It is not coincidental that cunning and deceptive are also the adjectives used to describe the DC Republican establishment.
Many people were fooled by this establishment Republican plan; but then again, many people were previously fooled by all the professional Republican mask wearers…. So don’t feel bad if you were tricked by the duplicity.
After all, it was not that long ago when Senator Jeff Sessions was the widely espoused “most conservative” member of the upper chamber….
…How did that work out for us?
Frankly, “Club For Growth” sounds cancerous.
Because it has been and still is. Good call, Liz.
It is, it went against Trump in 2016, and the guy who runs it, David McIntosh, is a good friend of Judas Mike Pence, so what can one expect but slime and filth.
Did you see the clip of Mike P stepping up onto a John Deer tractor for a photo op with a farmer, and the weirdly suggestive comments he made? Let’s just say no straight guy jokes about shift knobs like that.
Dear Sundance, could you please write an article that explains the policies that differentiate a GOPe RINO Establishment SIG/Bushie from an America First MAGA Patriot? It would be most beneficial to have a “litmus test” that can be easily used to compare candidates.
Thank you!
For starters: will they talk about election fraud?
The litmus test is, are they trying to destroy and/or put them in jail?
If yes, then they’re MAGA. If not, then beware.
Ask them if there was a Deep State coup by bad actors in 2020.
Sorry….but if you can not see the difference by now….you are way behind and need to catch up! One of the most important items you need to know and understand…in a war is….who the ENEMY is! Never mind about anybody outside of this country right now….just focus on America! The enemy is within and our fight is here. And it is against those who have pretended to be with us…..
The same as those who have deceived us for decades….the entrenched establishment! The demonrats and the repubs that engage to help them to keep control and power!
I’m pretty sure I understand who the enemy of the USA & US Constitution are. I would like an article from Sundance that provides her detailed explanation of who she believes the enemy are.

👁️
There are still a lot of people who don’t know who and what Ron really is. They think that Disney’s recent $17 billion deal to build another theme park in Florida is somehow a big win for Ron despite the fact that Disney is still the same anti-family company they always were. They haven’t changed. They just know that money is the language of politics, and that Ron speaks it as fluently as any other politician.
hahahahahahahahahaha.
what a maroon
Radio DeSantis … how would listeners tell Ron and Sean apart? Two phonies, two self-promoters, two fools shouting “Listen to me and bask in the gleam of my smarts!”
Tell apart? Ron’s voice is harder to listen to than Sean’s.
I don’t know about that! But to solve the issue….dont listen to either and you will sleep much better!
Just comparing voices David. I have been sleeping quite well w/o either.
At least he can pick his boogers if there is no video feed.
You must be joking. Sean bought cheap dentures that whistle when he talks. Can’t stand to listen to him anymore.
Ever wonder why, as a “huge” Trump supporter (🤮) Fox kept him on air? Because he’s a stinking Rino.
Sean thinks he’s a kingmaker.
My favorite radio personalities had great voices, easy to listen to and understand. Vanity’s voice triggers a migraine headache , Ronald the same.
One host I listen to when asked why he doesn’t have a TV show, he said “I only have a face for radio.” That man has self awareness.
Watching Meatball was painful, and Sean is puke worthy, a real phony.
In a nutshell both men want to be Trump but can’t, they don’t have the goods.
I have not watched or listened to hardly any of Yawn “Tick Tock” Shammity’s verbal diarrhea since FJB’s illegitimate installation, and not much before then either, but he does have PDJT on his shows (or at least he did) so that is one good thing.
Whilst caregiving my elderly brother in law for 5 weeks, I had to endure Fox News and Shon Vanity every single day for hours. This was October 2022, and Shon was in full bloviation as he kept repeating his RED WAVE’S A’COMIN’ predictions. That was the last time I ever watched him. It was cruel and unusual punishment for my crime of live-in caregiving.
DeSantis needs to stay as governor of Florida and take on the chair position of the National Governors Association. He could do better there to help fight the feds.
Despite all the evidence to the contrary, you guys still think he’s one of the good guys.
I truly do not understand people like that……
What does it take to get through to them?
I think Charles MacKay says it in the most succinct way:
“Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one.”
― Charles MacKay, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
The DeSantis “herd” is still in the stampede mode, but it is slowing down as each member of that stampede slowly realizes that they’re heading for a cliff and that maybe it’s not a good ending for them.
Excellent quote. (and follow-up)
On social media I see the same thing. You can produce article after article with proof of DeSantis’s treachery and there will still be those who support him and say what a great job he’s doing as governor and how he would be a great president. There are three ways I judge that, they didn’t read the truthful articles about him, they read the articles but don’t believe them, or they’re leftist who know about him but are trying to provoke an argument.
By looking at their other posts you can pretty easily figure out which they are and act accordingly.
I made the mistake of reading the posts of a TDS-afflicted Ron supporter on Xitter yesterday. He disparaged Trump on every single detail, past and present, assuring all that the Rs have dug their own grave with Trump and that all hope is lost.
Funny how his choice never got much traction when he was actually campaigning last year. Ron has very little national appeal, and that’s required if you intend to unseat an incumbent D.
They’d rather believe a beautiful lie than the ugly truth. We have some MAGA legislators down here, they take the lead on bills, he just signs it.
DeSantis is a grifter he wants the lush lifestyle he sees all around him w/o working for it.
He’s a brat, thinks he’s too good to be a lowly Governor. He got a taste of the high life flying around in private jets, etc. Soon all that ends so he has to latch on to something while he can.
Geesh!
DeSantis is a GOP establishment guy.
Christina Pushaw ??
Is that you ?!
How’s the Ukrainian dictator, I mean, comedian doing ?
It is clear to me that this whole DeSantis thing was pushed by TV watching.
We don’t watch TV. Hence, we never were interested in him.
I read about him sure. But it’s not the same. I read many of the comments on this thread and thought the comments indicated more emotion and energy about DeSantis than he warrants.
Without the TV, Fox cable and perhaps some RINO talk radio (Salem) , the RINOs would not have a chance. They would have disappeared down the memory hole. They have nothing to offer in ideas, solutions, vision. They are just a bunch of aging sociopaths and narcissists with big egos.
FAUX new is the hub for RINOs, as guests, hosts or reporters.
Rhonda Santis milked Hurricane Ian for all the face time he could get. He was as nauseating as Andrew Cuomo during Covid
He “followed the book” for the hurricanes….that have proven success.
🤣
Do not forget…..TV….at your own peril….do not underestimate his “Mrs”…..Jill Casey has an extensive career history in TV with lots of connections.
There is more to her than “moma bears while in Iowa” or “tiara polishing”.
I’m thinking this is all CUD as SD did a VERY GOOD JOB of educating us about the DeSantis Decepticons before and during the stage play. So,…. why regurgitate this now? DeSantis was long ago in my rear view mirror with nary a thought about the actors for many months. So why bring this up now? Does SD hear whisperings, beyond DeSantis’ possible future TV show fame – I think hosting Family Feud would be perfect, that’s going to try and lead into a presidential ‘Part Deux?’ Or is this a REMINDER TO PRESIDENT TRUMP not to put DeSantis on his team?
As always, curious cat remains,…… curious.
Well, Pat Sajak did retire. And Rhonda is short like Pat
Ron has no charisma. He’s been a fine governor but he backstabbed America and I will NEVER vote for him for President. He thought that he was going to exploit and take advantage of the Swamp’s vicious, ongoing treason against President Trump and the United States of America. DeSanctimonious showed his true colors and there’s no putting that genie back in the bottle.
Who would watch this no-charisma backstabber on TV? I wouldn’t.
This truly turns my stomach.
Will FAUX news be is new gig as a political consultant?
He’s so dull. Will tiara Casey be his sidekick on the gig?
You soooo nailed this DeSantis op, Sundance! Deceived no more! MAGA
President Trump sure knows how to kill a political career. Only thing left for him is to take some low level spot on FOX where he attacks Trump for 4 years when he is President again.
Like McCarthy, these loser Republicans are so spiteful and petty it’s embarrassing.
The only surprise it that he’s not going to CNN.
I do not believe President Trump ended DeSantis’ career. He and his wife killed it just by being themselves.
True but “meatball” sure started the ball rolling and rightfully so.
Self aggrandizement above country.
Thank you, Sundance, for the Advanced Classes in Politics.
Always MAGA 🇺🇸🇺🇸👊👊❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Meatball doesn’t know what he wants to be when he grows up. He couldn’t mimic Trump good enough so now he wants to mimic Ron Burgundy.
The fact he was told to copy Trump’s hand gestures tells one even his handlers realized he had no personality, other than wooden.
He and his wife must be so obtuse , do they not watch replays of themselves? Guess not, if they did they would quietly slink away from the spotlight not towards it. Or as Sundance said “no self awareness.”
He’s perfect for FOX and all the other plastic creatures.
Amen, Brother Ben!
What do they do now that Florida has eschewed the Grooming Gangs?
Are they geared up to screw MAGA conservatives?
There’s only one man, which is very sad for this nation, and despite his negatives, HE IS IT. Remember who the Lord chose, Moses, King David and St. Paul…all were murderers…but they were the Lord’s best! So is Trump.
So, does this imply that Ron is going to revert to his recent previous position as the absentee Governor of FL or is he going to serve out his current term?
Your obsession with DeSantis is debilitating. After the hurricane did you mobilize Florida to get access to Pine Island and Sanibel rebuilt in record time, or was it Trump? Or was it Ron DeSantis? Your constant ranting against DeSantis is not helping Trump or the RNC in countering the DNC and their Commie Comrades from getting out tens of millions of voters to vote for Biden, Michelle or Jimmy Carter, whomever the Democratic Machine chooses as their candidate!
Actually, Sundance worked very hard and long hours on the front lines of rescue & recovery.
I have tried to warn people like Steve Bannon about people like Josh Hammer, Newsweek, Lisa Booth, Fox News political pundit, Dave Rubin, Blaze personality, Gay Guy Benson, EVERYONES favorite Republican homosexual, Ben Shapiro, Never Trump WIERDO and Buck Sexton former CIA spook and radio host with Clay Travis!!! The presence of Benny Johnson disappoints me because he always seemed like a staunch MAGA type on Newsmax and his podcast!!! 🤔
Benny Johnson is the biggest clickbaitor on YouTube. He runs with the slightest rumor and flails it like revelation… he’s a media whore: click first, learn last.
I almost laughed as hard at the pic of Napole-Ron as Ken as I did at the “Ripley and the Xenomorph” number from some months back. Florida, where newly elected governors immediately begin looking for their next gig!!
Before I keep reading the rest of the contents, let me explain the appeal of DeSantis when he ran for Gov.
He was NOT Gillum. Later events confirmed what disaster a Gov. Gillum would have been for Florida.
And we are to think there was no back room dealing for the Gillum candidacy? Or for any public office from school board to Presidency in this country. I wish there was a Hippocratic Oath for politicians. First, do no harm.
My fav is all the illegals being flown into Florida while lil ron is in charge.
If not for President Trump, Ronnie would have been crushed by the another corrupt fool.
Another fav is the excitement Delamenuts is doing good things for Floridians.
Isn’t that his job? Sure seems like he’s failing big time.
Floridians are being crushed by government in reality.
Remember, anything Bushes, is why we are at this juncture today. George gave us Barry. Thanks
And Clinton is his “brother from another mother”.
Ron was alway meant to be a repeat of Bush Sr. come in after Trump regain all party control for the establishment and if necessary smash the GOP voting coalition the way Papi Bush did to Reagan. That’s why 2024 was always the target. Ron just got sniffed out and Since they stole 20 Trump ran again destroying years of planning and 100s of millions in donor funding. Now a Trump win in 24 and a MAGA follow up win in 28 ends the establishment hold on the GOP. The GOP will be fully realigned as a working class, ethnically diverse party. Ron leaves office in 26 he can’t be out of the public eye and relaunch 2 years later.
My current observation/suspicion regarding the never-trumpers suddenly jumping on the Trump Train – things are a million times worse than WeThePeople can imagine !!
The RINO traitors now realize if Trump does not return to the Oval Office in 2024 – it is over for America and demonRATS will no longer need RINOS.
The bushCARTEL, McConnell RINOherd & neverTRUMP failures – aka DeSantis handlers, are incompetent traitors.
They are as evil as the Soros rabid-handlers & Hollywood lackeys coaching and assisting a Braindead Prop … despite hundred$$$ of million$$$ being spent – the best they could come up with was poopy-pants reading a botched plagiarized version of President Reagans D-Day Speech!!
