DeSantis 105 – Former Cruz Crew, Now Team DeSantis, Ken Cuccinelli and Jeff Roe Plan 2,600 Person Campaign Spend for Canvassers in First Four States

…. “There are Trillions at Stake!”

Overall, the New York Times is reporting a campaign support spending plan of more than $200 million. Essentially, these are payments from the billionaire Wall Street donors and multinationals, funneled through the SuperPAC, to influence the ’24 election. The context of the New York Times report sounds accurate.

NYT – A key political group supporting Ron DeSantis’s presidential run is preparing a $100 million voter-outreach push so big it plans to knock on the door of every possible DeSantis voter at least four times in New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina — and five times in the kickoff Iowa caucuses.

The effort is part of an on-the-ground organizing operation that intends to hire more than 2,600 field organizers by Labor Day, an extraordinary number of people for even the best-funded campaigns.

Top officials with the pro-DeSantis group, a super PAC called Never Back Down, provided their most detailed account yet of their battle plan to aid Mr. DeSantis, whom they believe they can sell as the only candidate to take on — and win — the cultural fights that are definitional for the Republican Party in 2024.

The group said it expected to have an overall budget of at least $200 million, including more than $80 million to be transferred from an old DeSantis state political account, for the daunting task of vaulting the Florida governor past former President Donald J. Trump, who has established himself as the dominant early front-runner.

[…] “No one has ever contemplated the scale of this organization or operation, let alone done it,” said Chris Jankowski, the group’s chief executive. “This has just never even been dreamed up.”

In Iowa, the group has opened a boot camp on the outskirts of Des Moines, giving the facility the code name “Fort Benning,” after the old Army training outpost, with 189 graduates of an eight-day training program the first wave of an organizing army to follow. Door knocking begins on Wednesday in New Hampshire.

The endeavor echoes the “Camp Cruz” that Senator Ted Cruz’s 2016 presidential campaign set up near Des Moines.

[…] At the helm of the DeSantis super PAC is Jeff Roe, a veteran Republican strategist who was Mr. Cruz’s campaign manager in 2016. In an interview, Mr. Roe described an ambitious political apparatus whose 2,600 field organizers by the fall would be roughly double the peak of Senator Bernie Sanders’s entire 2020 primary campaign staff.

When people ask about individuals, people, groups and media platforms that have joined the DeSantis effort…. Follow the money!

In deep Republican politics, ideology -the policy of politics- is a tool. The end goal is always money. Democrats want power, Republicans want money. Democrats use money to gain power; Republicans use power to get money. This is the core difference in their business model. This truism is also why there’s no pushback to the ideological policy of the Democrats. Republicans can simply be paid off.

When your ideology is first and foremost about money, all of the policy and advocacy is subject to the financial prism. Yes, it really is that simple.

The people paying for the Ron DeSantis campaign are investing in their future. They need to control the policy outcome, and that means they need to get rid of the only thing that will interrupt their influence and affluence, Donald J. Trump. Again, yes, it really is that simple.

The RNC doesn’t care about voter fraud, election integrity or other metrics inside the election system. The RNC ambivalence is directly because the two wings of the UniParty operate on this premise. The ideology of the Democrats drives their donor activity (see Zuckerberg), whereas the donors of the Republicans drive the ideology.

DeSantis cannot win the nomination on issues of economic policy. It is the economic policy that impacts the Billionaire Wall Street donors and multinationals. The donors are paying for an economic control outcome. That is why we are seeing such an emphasis on cultural issues from the Sea Island strategy, as displayed in the policy emphasis of Ron DeSantis.

$200 million for four states is nothing when contrast against the scale of money at risk for the Sea Island donors. It’s a Big Club, and we are only able to be in the fight because Donald J. Trump is in the battle.

The goal of the people who have traditionally controlled political outcomes is to remove Donald Trump. The goal is not to win the ’24 election. The goal is to remove the threat that Donald Trump represents.

There is only one force standing between Wall Street and the destruction of what remains of Main Street…. MAGA!

Let’s see if neocon Ron can get 25,000 people to a rally. He’s no Trump and he hasn’t excited anyone but the never Trumpers.

Maybe he can, maybe he can't. The low bar was set by Biden, with a dozen or so people, in cirlces, and he won stole the election. I've been to 4-5 Trump events in Northern Nevada. These have ranged from 1,500-5,000. Not everyone is an entertainer like Trump. Kamala, if I recall correctly go a 40,000 audiance at a California event once (and bet they won't return for a follow-up). Anyway, so long as he doesn't pull a Jeb 'Please Clap', he'll be fine.

So the cabal plan, when it hit them that Trump won 2016, was:

1) Create the Russia Collusion Hoax
2) Bring out Mueller to a) massively slow Trump down and b) hamstring his achievements
3) Create a fake MAGA candidate in DeSantis
4) Then run DeSantis on blaming Trump for #2b

Meanwhile DeSantis just steadfastly defended Cryto Currency. Trump has said he is not a fan.

This truism is also why there’s no pushback to the ideological policy of the Democrats. Republicans can simply be paid off.

That explains why eight Republicans sided with Democrats of Wednesday’s vote of Biden’s veto.

Never think that it was JUST EIGHT Republicans that got paid off.

When as many as EIGHT Republicans vote with Democrats, then it was okayed by Republican leadership being BOTH McCarthy and McConnell.

The EIGHT that voted with Democrats were probably “chosen” because their seats were deemed “safe” enough to be conspiring with the enemies of Our Republic.

No surprise, McCarthy and McConnell sold this Republic out long ago.

I can probably guess, but “meatball” started showing up the past couple days. What is it referring to?

The same bunch that spread the rumor that Dr. Carson was dropping out of the race days before the Iowa caucas...

There’s some 4D chess going on. The left-wing media goaded 4F into denying he would use the ethnic slur, meatball, using the ethnic slur in the process. So, the left-wing media essentially put the words into 4F’s mouth.

I’m pretty sure your numbers aren’t accurrate.....

But then, that seems to be the case with a lot of information put forth by many desantis supporters.

For those with an IQ of 46 to 80, this is who DeSantis really is and wants to destroy the country.

And if Desantis wins, he’ll be spending taxpayer money like a drunken democrat.
