Ron DeSantis and Mike Pence Will Skip CPAC 2023

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former Vice President Mike Pence will be skipping CPAC 2023 this year as President Donald Trump delivers the keynote speech.

DeSantis and Pence will avoid the uncomfortable results of the grassroots straw poll outcome, which – given the nature of their political interests – could potentially be embarrassing for the people who are organizing their ‘stop Trump’ campaign.

After spending the weekend with billionaire donors and republicans molded purchased by the Sea Island (Big Club) influence, DeSantis will be traveling the country promoting his Rupert Murdoch funded book with stops in Texas and California. The governor is also expected in Iowa, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Georgia, according to Jacksonville News4.

The Florida governor will finish the week back in his home state as The Club for Growth is hosting DeSantis and a half-dozen presidential prospects at a closed-door retreat next weekend with GOPe top donors {Link}. Donald Trump is not invited. The meeting, organized by the multinational corporate interests of CfG, is about how to coordinate multiple candidate efforts to defeat Trump.

Additionally, details are surfacing of additional attendees at last weekend’s ritzy “influencers” event at the Four Seasons Resort in Palm Beach, hosted by DeSantis handler Christina Pushaw. According to news reports in addition to the previously recruited social media group, Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter and Chaya Raichik (Libs of TikTok) were in attendance doing panel discussions. {link}

Smoking out the never Trump trash. It’s so unfortunate Desantis joined that club of deep state losers.

Your kidding me, Desantis is basking in the blood of the mouse today, as far as tropys go, the head of mickey on a pike is good one for someone not named trump. The Gov is untouchable in Florida, why at his young age open himself up to the national press unless Trump is knocked out cleanly by something.

DeSantis vs Newsome in 2028 is going to be epic. Let Trump take the punches of a dying boomer lead democratic party.

That photo reminds me of the first time I saw a “Kiss” band member without his silly makeup on.

I don’t like how the article characterized DeSantis relationship with Pushaw. He does not have “handlers”. That’s a hostile term. DeSantis has advisors.

Well you’re right I guess. Assuming he hasn’t surrounded himself with anti Trumpers. Or made big money deals with the same. I don’t see why Trump continues to attach him. I thought DJT welcomed all primary contestants. These stories with Desantis in the same sentence as Pence or skipping the Convention are no doubt designed to negatively influence the base.

Pence and DeSatan, a pair of wholly-owned and purchased RINO puppets of the global power elites.

Vomit-inducing Pence was fairly obvious from almost the start, but the DeSatan trojan horse sure had me fooled.

Bushie-Boys, both of them.

I thought it was going to be Desantis/Jeb 2024.

This says to me that DeSantis is probably inclined not to run, and that Pence knows he’ll get booed. I’m betting in the end that DeSantis will announce in early May he is not running and endorse Trump.

“ has it ever occurred to you that people are celebrating his winning a second term as florida governor (2022) and his just being sworn in for his second term as governor last month (january 2023)?..”

Even more of a reason to go to CPAC.
To bask in his glory of being re-elected FLA Governor.

Maybe not. He’s doing great things for Florida. Running against Trump might not be a good thing right now.

As Tucker will soon disclose the J-6 coup as a staged Pelosi production
Tucker will disclose what the never-Trump Murdochs, his bosses, will allow him to disclose.

Don't forget the J-6 is all about Trump, not Pelosi, not Cheney, not Kinzinger...Trump.

And Fox Corp is publicly vocal about their hatred for Trump.

That would be the smart decision for DeSantis.

The dumb decision is to challenge Trump, get your ass kicked, and not be relevant nationally in 2028 and 2032.
