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.”
(Via Politico) 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.”
DeSantis, the Florida governor, is still running second to Trump in national Republican primary polls, though he has fallen further behind.
In their meeting Friday, DeSantis and Kemp discussed DeSantis’ recent appearance at the Iowa State Fair and the first primary debate next week, according to the two people familiar with the conversation. They also talked about what it’s like to campaign with family members on the road and about college football.
It’s the second time in recent months that DeSantis has met with Kemp. He also huddled with the governor at the Georgia statehouse earlier this year. (more)
Georgia examples include the Sea Island reference points, the Mike Pence rally to support Kemp, George W Bush rallying support for Kemp, the intentional non requests for Trump ’22 campaigning, True the Vote’s Catherine Englebrecht documenting the systemic vote system corruption by Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp and his entire administration, or the MSM push to use Kemp as an example of a Trump slayer.
You guys already know the background of Georgia grassroots activists booing Kemp at the state convention, and the recent issue of Brian Kemp adviser Cody Hall joining team DeSantis while remaining a Kemp advisor.
The Sea Island group of billionaires, influence agents, GOPe politicians, multinationals, Wall Street hedge funds and corporate Republicans are manipulating the events in Georgia to support the roadmap that contains their nominee, Ron DeSantis.
Control is the key in these totalitarian illusions of democracy. If Fani Willis is targeting the group who organize against the interests of Brian Kemp and the Republican club leadership, she is doing them a favor. Brian Kemp and his Republican Party crew support corrupt District Attorney Fani Willis, just like former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell supported U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder in the targeting of the Tea Party (2011, 2012). The alignments are exactly identical.
Again, for reference, this is not a short-term issue. This is a long-term construct on behalf of the right-wing of the UniParty and the Bush clan apparatus to remove the threat of MAGA politics from their controlled party.
DeSantis is a tool, a willing vessel for these interests. The benefit DeSantis provides is not contained in his winning the 2024 primary, but rather in stopping Donald Trump from winning it.
In 2010, the Tea Party caught the corporate Republican Party off guard; they reassembled their machinery, and then attacked and removed the Tea Party influence in 2012. In 2016, the counterinsurgent Tea Party base found a way to fight back with Donald Trump; we reassembled and added more support from the middle and working class around the America First agenda and defeated Wall Street Republicans again. However, every moment thereafter has been this battle between the party control operatives and the MAGA insurgents.
That battle has continued, and Georgia is the latest visible evidence of the war raging in the background.
We told you this was going to be very ugly, and it is unfolding exactly as we would expect.
It will get worse, much worse.
Cowboy up!
It’s the other way around.
Yes
The Open Early Club versus Lockdown Don
DeSantis has stalled,
He is about to spin,......he won’t recover.
Spin, Crash and Burn.
He has taken the rough road, it won’t be a good ride.
He took bad advice and was impatient or advised to go for POTUS.
Sad to see him, about to spin and Kemp can only make it worse.
Deep State, deep hole.
I liked the man, met him twice, again a sad story.
That kills any chance I will ever vote DeSantis
Kemp is a jerk
Bkmk
Yep!! Anything Kemp touches is Radioactive to me!!!
Ron DeSantis and the others running are only doing so to undermine Donald Trump. They get millions in payoffs thru “donations” that they can keep.
I am a listless vessel and I feel a deep need to check Truth Social.
Judas Pence was there, too?!
That greatly offends the Trump Kamikaze Kaukus
Trump is not entitled to the money people give to support DeSantis or any other candidate
His feud with Lockdown Don was the best thing to ever happen to him
So I take it you own a Landscaping company or you rely on Illegal labor for your living.
