…. “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!
I knew a lot of CruzBots were involved.
I find it hard to believe that DeSantis can be this stupid. The 2028 nomination was his for the taking. And now he is through. Funny what happens when you let your ego take over.
False. He has excited the intelligent.
Or like Trump did?
You can tell yourself that, but it doesn’t mean it’s true. 🤣
The point stop cbc.
Which ones do you dispute? The events in Nevada that I attended were in limited venues.
And it doesn’t mean it’s not true.
I think that’s the real reason the globalists are still pushing tiny D. Crypto is the ultimate scam and also their preferred way to engage in crime without it being traced.
The opposition to the Central Bank Currency is a huge part of his campain.
It may prove useful if the cbc goes through.
Trump’s boy McCarthy just sold out Conservatives.
If DeSantis was his own man and intelligent he would have backed Trump in 2024 and run himself in 2028. He didn’t, he is owned (Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan) and not to be trusted.
