Political Pundit Mark Simone Admits Team Bush and Karl Rove are Group Behind Ron DeSantis Effort….
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | March 26, 2023 | Sundance

Posted on 03/27/2023 4:13:43 AM PDT by gattaca

Put a fork in the opposition denials to what was increasingly obvious; it’s over. Last summer we saw the fingerprints of the professional republican apparatus all over the construct that was creating the Ron DeSantis 2024 effort. The data was all going in one direction, all of the constructs were identical to the Karl Rove playbook with the single addition of the Republican Governor’s Association as a participant. As the months moved forward the Rovian elements became more and more clear. The DeSantis supporters tried to deny it, but the truth of the issue is just too obvious.

Now, insider republican political pundit Mark Simone admits that Team Bush and Karl Rove are the specific organizers of the DeSantis 2024 effort. Appearing on Fox Business, Larry Kudlow asks directly, “who is behind the DeSantis campaign?” Simone admits, “yeah, it’s Karl Rove – Karl Rove has been advising DeSantis, that’s why he’s been getting a little bit better every week.” WATCH:

“It’s a gas station with nuclear weapons”

That alone is one of the most idiotic things I have ever heard anyone say.

One thing you can say is that Bush won a consecutive election.

And thanks to him we now live in a police state. Yay!

Except it’s not what DeSantis said. DeSantis said “HE [Putin] is like a gas station with nuclear weapons.” Nothing disparaging about the Russian people or land, just the maniac running it.

Taunting and insulting an old culture with nuclear superiority is just dumb, especially when fighting for something somewhere where your vital interests are not involved but the those of the people with nukes are.

So Larry Kudlow eliminates minutes of DeSantis DEFENDING Trump against the weaponized use of law enforcement agencies, and then asks this DeSimone guy “what do you make of that?”

We all know Kudlow is Team Trump. No insinuations, inferrals or anything; Kudlow worked for Trump. So maybe JUST MAYBE, DeSimone isn’t “admitting” anything about DeSantis, but is simply yet another liar spewing bullshit at Trump’s command.

I don't know who "us" is. Me and a lot of other Conservatives (not just liberaltarians) warned that the Patriot Act, TSA, TIA, Homoland Security were bad ideas at the time, despite hating muzz slimes.

We never did nuke the Saudis like they deserved and like I suggested. Instead, that POS Bush manacled Americans and kissed the ass of the ROP, just like a good dhimmi.

DeSantis does not have the genius and dynamic personality of Donald Trump.

DeSantis DOES NOT HAVE a bunch of RINO legislators in Fl. he is able to be successful in his state because he is not dealing with the likes of McConnell, Merkowski, Cornyn, Thume, Graham, and on and on!! OUR OWN SIDE saved Ocare because of McCain OUR OWN DAMN SIDE, McCain decided his vengeance for Trump was far more important than saving the American people from NATIONALIZED healthcare, I would LOVE to spit on this bastards grave!!

DeoSanctus, the patron saint of the short bus, is 44. It makes no sense for him to run now. I think the wifey, an ex-MSMer who I suspect has TDS therefore IMO can’t be trusted, is pushing Ronnie to run. Notice how no one is interviewing Mrs. Desantis.

” “It’s a gas station with nuclear weapons”
That alone is one of the most idiotic things I have ever heard anyone say.”

As bad as that is, why would ANYONE flip in that direction 180 degrees over the most important issue of the election?

That reeks of the Anti-Trump Big-Money people DEMANDING that DeSantis ‘get it right’ on Ukraine (meaning take the pro-World War 3 side).

To me, by channeling McCain, he’s pretty much signaled that he either may not run, or if he runs, it’s only to get his name out (rather than to win).

Whatever the outcome this will be Trump’s last election after that the Bush/Rove clan will still be out there and people like them, that’s why IMO we need to be open to people in addition to Trump.

Even if Trump wins, he’s got 4 years and turning things around will take significantly longer than that assuming it’s even possible to turn things around

I am open to people besides Trump, but if he wins the nomination, I hope he picks a better running mate than the last time.

"One thing you can say is that Bush won a consecutive election."

Yes, but barely. Winning against such goof-balls as Gore and Kerry will hardly go down in history as great. It simply proves that the heralded Bush political machine is just barely adequate. Bush1 won his first election only because of Reagan's coat tails, and lost his second. Bush2 BARELY won both. Bush3 got his clock cleaned in the primaries. It's not a dynasty that will go down in history as even mediocre.

Right now I’m open to Trump and DeSantis, living in Florida, he’s done some incredible things, no candidate including Trump checks all the boxes for me.

Last year at this time, the praise of DeSantis was nearly universal here on FR, now we getting one article after another on why he’s disgusting, I’m not in the Trump or no one column.

...and Trump rolls around with Romney (Ronna McDaniel)

Apples to Tire Irons comparison, and you know it.

DeSanctimonious is TAKING advice from Rove as his latest actions and statements by various people attest to.

He is weak, has taken their money, has no money of his own.

President Trump, on the other hand, endorsed Ronna, but doesn't take her advice.

He's his own man, doesn't put his finger in the political winds, like DeSantis does, before he makes decisions.
