Club for Growth is the Bush Machine, and Karl Rove is their go-to Consultant.

DeSantis hangs with DOMINION VP, KOCH, and now the Bushies, working the benches for the Governor’s Association.

None are Trump associates,

Karl Rove Doesn’t Care About ‘Core Beliefs’ Of GOP Candidates, Says Club For Growth’s Chris Chocola

The conservative backlash against GOP strategist Karl Rove continued on Thursday, with Chris Chocola, president of conservative anti-tax group Club for Growth, accusing him of engaging in a plan to prop up certain Republican candidates regardless of their “core beliefs.”

“What Karl Rove and some of the establishment groups only care about is the brand,” he said in an interview with CBS News. “They only care if someone’s a Republican or not. They don’t really care what their core beliefs are. I think voters actually care what their core beliefs are.”

Trump has met regularly with CfG bigwigs until of course they decided he was a loser. Why else is he mad he wasn’t invited this year?

Or DeSantis could go off on the Club For Growth, and call them out for what they really are.

I know this is Trump's claim, but have you actually looked into it, yourself?

I was just poking around, and it appears they originally rose to prominence by supporting Tea Party candidates. Their feud with Trump now, at least according to some sources, is because like Tea Party people would, they see Trump as a big government spender, and one of their specific complaints against Trump are some quotes from him regarding his potential support for government only healthcare.

So as I said I'm just starting to look, but am interested if you have any actual data showing their support for China etc, as I only want to know the truth. Thanks.

If you’re trying to turn Club for Growth into the bad guys in the populism vs Wall Street, you’re either very ignorant or very dishonest. They practically invented running successful primary campaigns against Wall Street candidates.

“The Guardian described the group as “one of the biggest backers” of Republicans who later voted to overturn the results of the 2020 United States presidential election, having spent around $20 million on their campaigns in 2018 and 2020.”

“The Club for Growth was founded in 1999 by Stephen Moore.”

“Following the Supreme Court’s Kelo v. City of New London decision, the Club gained an appropriations amendment by Scott Garrett to prohibit funds in the bill from being used to enforce the Court’s decision. “

“In 2008 and 2009, the Club for Growth opposed the $787 billion stimulus bill, Cash for Clunkers, cap and trade legislation, the Wall Street bailout, the auto bailout, the Affordable Care Act and the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.”

The Club was involved in the debate over the debt ceiling that took place in August 2011. The Club endorsed and strongly supported “Cut Cap and Balance” and ran issue ads urging Republicans to “show some spine” on maintaining the debt ceiling.

The Club opposed the re-authorization of the Export-Import Bank.

The Club’s PAC spent $3.1 million ($2.4 million on independent expenditures and $700,000 on ads) or nearly half of the $7.8 million which it spent in 2014 on Chris McDaniel’s effort to defeat Thad Cochran in the United States Senate Republican primary election in Mississippi, 2014.

The Club for Growth has opposed government action to curb greenhouse gas emissions. In 2009, the Club for Growth pressured Republican politicians not to support a cap-and-trade bill, which the group viewed as being “extremely harmful to the economy.” In 2011, the group issued a white paper criticizing presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s regulatory record as Massachusetts governor, including his support of global warming policies.

My only criticism against their policies, and this is huge, is that they have opposed tariffs against China.

That was 2016. After he was elected they worked very close together.

The break came when he started attacking Mo Brooks in the Alabama primary and met with Ms. Britt who eventually became senator.

MAGA-MO actually spoke at the 1/6 rally but earned the nickname traitor from Trump.

In their upside down world DeSantis is somehow a flaming purple haired SJW while Trump’s many dalliances with establishment figures and world record of picking people who turned out to be duds like Milley and Kavanaugh magically don’t count.

“None are Trump associates,”

Club for Growth supported Brooks in Alabama primary. Trummp dumped Brooks to support the McConnell backed Britt.
