Ron DeSantis Holds Private Meeting with Brian Kemp in Georgia
Conservative Treehouse ^ | August 18, 2023 | Sundance

If you have followed the background, the purpose of Ron DeSantis meeting privately today with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, is very clear. Georgia is the fulcrum state of the 2024 Sea Island “Roadmap for Ron.”

Ron DeSantis met privately with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Friday, the latest in his effort to fortify relationships with three Republican governors alienated by Donald Trump.

The meeting, at a hotel in Buckhead, Georgia, preceded DeSantis’ appearance at a gathering of presidential candidates hosted by conservative talk radio host Erick Erickson. The two talked for about 30 minutes and did not discuss an endorsement, according to two people familiar with the meeting.

[…] Kemp represents one of the most critical general election swing states in the country, and the meeting Friday comes on the heels of Trump’s indictment in the state.

Earlier this week, Kemp ripped into Trump’s false claims about voter fraud there, writing, “For nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward — under oath — and prove anything in a court of law. Our elections in Georgia are secure, accessible, and fair and will continue to be as long as I am governor. The future of our country is at stake in 2024 and that must be our focus.”

Kemp doesn’t have that power. The GA legislature does, however.

That’s because GA is filled with RINOs and Liberals

“Roadmap for Ron.”

This sounds a lot like the infamous "Jeb Playbook."

Exactly. They both won handily while the leftist democrat won the Senate race. Yeah right.

My reasoning? DT’s “Desanctimonious” crack did it for me. A guy with 3 marriages (so far) should not throw stones imo. I voted for him twice but won’t again.

GA is now #1 world-wide in film production. Started with “Deliverance” and grew quickly, bringing hoardes of film folks into the state. Very few are Rs.

Erick Erickson, the most evil and worst never Trumper who caused me to stop listening to WSB Radio in 2015.

I have detested him ever since he stabbed Cain in the back over a decade ago.

I’d like to see Ron DeSantis thrown in prison for his convictions.

You are truly a retard.

What convictions is Governor DeSantis facing?

I doubt Trump could win GA again. I voted for him twice, but won’t again.

At this point, I'm not even sure Trump will win Texas.

What does it matter? A plurality of GOP primary voters are bound and determined to nominate a proven loser. 2024 is shaping up to be a total catastrophe for America.

The Democrats win with 400+ Electoral Votes. Mark this post for reference.

"He beat Charlie Crist by 20 points in 2021."

He almost got beat by the drug addicted homo Andrew Gillum in his first run. Hardly a win.

DeSantis and Charlie Crist are the only two Florida Governors who used the State Legislature to benefit themselves financially and politically. They both got the Legislature to overturn the "Resign to Run" law. In Crist's case, he thought he'd have a shot at being McCain's V.P. Rick Scott had the law changed back to its original form when he became Governor. In DeSantis's case, he thought he'd actually be more popular than Donald Trump. He apparently didn't have much faith in his Presidential run since he made sure he'd still get a paycheck on the campaign trail, and have a job to go back to when he crashed and burned. Crist and DeSantis are both self-serving prigs.

Crist was, as you say, a weak opponent. He changed parties as well. And Desantis outspent him 7:1. So I am not impressed that the win shows DeSantis as strong.

Kemp and DeSantis are begging for a subpoena in Trump’s case in Atlanta. Conspiracy to obstruct the legislature’s opening of impeachment against the Fulton County prosecutor.

We’ll since you throw around words like retard, only a retarded person supports a person like Desantis who is obviously.

He has no convictions.

Yeah, DeSantis has no convictions. He's only winning every conservative battle he's picked.

Meanwhile, here's your hero:

Cool. We cancel each other out. I'll never vote for kemp or the leader of the ron's gate cult.

Knew you were a DeSantis supporter by the Toxic nature of double standards.

Trump actually getting put in prison by the Federal Deep state, Desantis hasn’t even faced the beast, nor is he yet getting put in prison by them.

Let me know when he is really getting Trumped up charges and facing real opposition.

Rob seems to be fond of Pyrrhic victories.

I'm not totally sure what that expression means but I can definitely see DeSantos hanging out at toga parties.

Typical lie from Kemp.

Once again, DeSantis shows he has all the wrong friends.
