Continued excerpt: Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never unsee them. The GOPe club uses the same play book. If you pulled a focus group of never-trumpers, then watched them discuss their snarky view of the MAGA voters they hate, then packaged that conversation into a targeted ad, this ‘cringeworthy’ outcome is exactly what you get.

The GOPe club are targeting MAGA voters by providing a manufactured and managed alternative to Donald Trump. That’s why you feel a little cringy when you watch the ad. The inauthentic nature transmits within the implied message.

The people behind Texas congressman Dan Crenshaw, likely the same branding group, did the same thing portraying Crenshaw as an action hero.

Ron DeSantis pre-staging in August ’22 is Ted Cruz pre-staging in August ’14. Everything about Cruz ’16 is identical to DeSantis ’24, including the social media network, influencers and online media groups doing the promotion.

I don’t expect this to be a popular article posting but it’s grist for the mill. There are people in the GOP who view Americans as violins being played and they are not above leading us where they benefit & America & Americans suffer.

If this is his “Top Gun” spot, it will be a true winner

I’m listening to the “Clay and Buck” show, on now. Clay was pushing for a Trump/DeSantis 2024 ticket and says it would be a sure winner.

The Florida governor went silent following the raid on Mar-a-Lago, sending one tweet from his private account,

If he sent one tweet then he wasn't silent

He wasn't nice either

The raid of MAL is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves. Now the Regime is getting another 87k IRS agents to wield against its adversaries? Banana Republic. - Ron Desantis

No I am not supporting Ron over Trump but this is Liberal like garbage with the lying

This guy lost me when he started babbling about bunkers.

I don't know exactly what 'Sundance' has up his butt that's got him talking this smack about the most effective GOP governor currently in office, but with 'conservative' friends like this, who needs enemas?

I've never really understood the argument that he's really not running, and it's just the left trying to divide Republicans. Any actual "division" wouldn't really happen until he actually does run, so a false hype train really doesn't accomplish anything. They'd hype him as running, he wouldn't...and that would be it. No harm done.

DeSantis is going out to campaign for Republican House and Senate Candidates. He needs name recognition to do that... Usually I agree with Sundance - not this time.

I like DeSantis but man, that was bad. It was like watching one of those cheap commercials that used to come on the tv late at night. So production quality was poor. The whole thing just felt like a caricature of MAGA voters. Kind of like the people that put the commercial together weren’t MAGA in the slightest.
