“Anti-Trump IL GOP Leaders, Who Endorsed RNC Chair Ronna Romney, Now Throwing Support Behind Gov. Ron DeSantis’ Potential Presidential Run”
DeSantis has a PERFECT RECORD here...he has never disavowed the endorsement from a Republican who hates the base.
Deep blue state-no hope. Does anybody care?
All the more reason to vote for Trump
Golly gee, what a shock.
So what...
It is a damn shame that Alan Keyes did not win that Senate seat!
Minor point- the 2004 GOP Senate candidacy of Ambassador Keyes, is a brilliant, accomplished and principled man (the most conservative candidate in the 1996 GOP presidential primary- was my first election and while I voted for Buchanan supported Amb Keyes)- he waded into the fray after the GOPe’s preferred candidate, leading in the polls at the times, Jack Ryan (whose ex wife was Gerri Ryan, 7of9 in one of the Star Trek spinoffs) was driven out when partisan lawfare unsealed divorce records which included allegations of sex clubs and “swapping” with his then wife (shocking, I know, for Hollywood types). All of the odds seemed to mysteriously favor the Manchurian candidate, then as now. No one else would come in and take the proverbial hit, which was a failure of the Illinois Republican Party, so Ambassador Keyes lost in a landslide. He is a good man, IMO, and shouldn’t be disparaged in this oblique manner in the article.
The rotten Illinois GOP are going to come for Mary Miller in 2024. She is a solid Conservative here in Illinois in the 15th district. She’s a fighter like Bobert and MTG.
If these crooks are lining up behind Desantis, that is worrisome.
There plan is to support someone in the primary that is not Trump, and the Democrat later.
Won’t do any good. Trump will be the nominee twice over the closest competitor.
I wouldn't be surprised if they are soon joined by Liz Cheney, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney.
And yeah I spelled that right.
They feel they have to back DeSantis because no one else has any cachet. If Trump drops out or is arrested and forced out they will then turn on DeSantis and try to promote a more deep state kind of guy.
Despite the headline, the article only establishes that many key Illinois Republicans are literally Republican in name only. It offers neitther names nor actions of any IL Republicans supporing DeSantis.
FAKE? Checking out the WaybackMachine, The IllinoisReview existed as far back as 2006, but as late as late 2022, bore no resemblance to the current website. Seems to have gone nearly dormant for much of 2022. Is what’s there now just some Trump astroturf?
