Before getting to the latest developments regarding the worries of the mid-tier donor class within the republican apparatus, I want to provide some context for the overall Ron DeSantis (RdS) management agenda.
I can trace the origin of the RdS 2024 scheme to an originating timeframe in late fall 2021. It may go back further than that, but it is at least in place by the late fall of 2021. That means that everything within the professional republican apparatus, those who manipulate the political events from the controlling wing of the republican side of the UniParty, had RdS ’24 as the agenda throughout the 2022 midterm calendar.
With that context, the events around the 2022 midterms and the surprising lack of professional republican gains in the midterm election, start to take on an entirely new Machiavellian light. Not necessarily the RNC corporation; rather, the subsidiary weaponized groups including the Republican Governors Association and the Senate reelection schemes spearheaded by Mitch McConnell et al. In hindsight, those were all done with the context of laying the groundwork for ’22 MAGA defeat and ’24 RdS rise as an outcome.
Throughout the first half of 2022 I was saying there’s no way the GOPe wing would be this stupid. This was based primarily by my own filter saying there had to be a limit to what they think they can pull off.
The Wall St, K-Street, multinational and billionaire funding into RdS during the spring of 2022 was massive, but I held a primary prism that RdS himself had to be smart enough to know it was a suicide mission. However, with the events that unfolded in July and August of 2022, it became obvious that RdS was going all-in on a management program for a 2024 bid.
Perhaps taken in by the intoxicating alure of money, perhaps it didn’t take much convincing, I don’t know. But it was clear the ’24 race was the pretext for everything happening in/around the RdS orbit, including the 5-days in the bunker after the Mar-a-Lago raid and the rebranding national image launch thereafter.
We all know the GOPe operational motive for removing MAGA from the base of influence; it no longer needs to be repeated. Quite simply the America-First agenda puts *their* money at stake, and collectively that amounts to trillions of dollars in multinational globalist financial control. The scale of the money behind the MAGA opposition is really the biggest challenge, it is almost unfathomable, and that scale is represented within the size of the war chest they assembled for RdS.
The top of this financial pyramid holds a grip on political power that is threatened by the worldview, outlook and economic nationalist policy of Donald Trump. Underneath that top-tier there are many layers of vested interests also at risk. Remember, ultimately despite the power dynamic, they are few – the MAGA army is many. It is within these mid-tier donor groups we now see worry about whether RdS can fulfill his assignment as protector of the realm.

His Policies and Record on handling the woke Leftists.
Some folks just don’t get it. DeSantis supporters especially.
Trump may or may not care, but his supporters will.
As I said…
Desantis directly attacking Trump with establishment talking points kids is just going harm him later.
I'd sooner vote for Vivek Ramaswamy than DeSantis if something happened to Trump.
And, no, Paul Ryan and Jeb Bush wouldn't be behind him if he wasn't in bed with the GOP establishment.
Yes they would, because they’re interested in ‘anybody but Trump’.
DeSantis’ best hope is to go rogue and present himself as a “Better MAGA Candidate than Trump”, that would give him the best chance.
Well that’s true. But trump gets a pass in all things even provoking attempted murder

Who else here have you threatened to kill? Asking for a friend.
I believe that Fetterman had over 900k votes before Election Day. Not one of which was ever, nor ever will be verified.
I believe that Michigan is 100% controlled by Democrats.
I believe that unless something amazing comes from Arizona and Lake, Hobbs will rig 2024.
I believe, and lots on here disagree, that Georgia is completely compromised and Kemp was allowed to win since he’s throwing the state away to the Left anyway. The majority of folks in Georgia do NOT want Georgia to be the EV Capitol of the country, the tech Capitol of the East not the Hollywood of the east. Yet, kemp unilaterally doing his best to make that happen. Throwing taxpayer money down the drain and we have no say in it.
I think almost all of it hinges on the North Carolina lawsuit. If the NC legislature wins then it could be a game changer.
Then it would be up to ‘Republican’ legislature, regardless of who is Gov, Lt Gov, AG, Sec State, to make the rules. Then we’ll find out what types of people we have representing us at the state level.
Will Wisconsin, with its almost veto proof legislature, make things right and make it impossible for 2 or 3 cities to run the table?
Will Georgia, with its veto proof majority, make sure that neither kemp nor Raffensberger can interfere and make sure that 10 counties out of 158 can’t run the table?
Will the same happen in Arizona?
So NO, unless changes are made to the election process, I don’t think we’ll ever see a Republican President again. The UNIPARTY can cheat all it wants and the courts do nothing.
The latest decision with regards to Arizona proves that.
What am I supposed to be reading up? The fact that Trump raised the LEAST from individual small donors? The fact that Trump’s “self-funding” was in the form of loans which later were pai back to him? (And why give money to a candidate to pay back loans from himself? When Joe Schmoe gives to a candidate, he gives in the hopes the candidate will have enough money to win; do you think it proves him CLEANER that casino owners, foreign banks, oil companies, etc. are paying his campaign AFTER his win became apparent? It doesn’t mean he’s dirty, but it sure as hell doesn’t prove he’s cleaer.
good article

Agreed. There isn’t a lot not to love about DeSantis and what he has done for Florida. EXCEPT, who he is now aligning with.
Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of folks not willing to look.
