REPORT: No One Wants to Put Their Names on DeSantis’s Cali Fundraiser
The National Pulse ^ | June 18, 2023 | JAKE WELCH

Posted on 06/18/2023 3:55:21 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

California-based GOP donors are refusing to put their names on Ron DeSantis’s “roundtable breakfast” fundraiser in the state, according to a report from the local, right-leaning California Globe.

The event – due to be held on Monday morning at Del Paso Country Club, Sacramento – has failed to gather more than one name as a sponsor of the event, with one source telling the Globe: “They asked everyone to put their name to this and no one would. Of all the local GOP fundraisers, all refused to put their name to it or host it at their homes.”

Instead, the event’s attendees – who must pay up to $3300 for a ticket – will only be met by Steve Eggert, founder of the real estate development company Anton DevCo and long-term GOP donor. Eggert’s largest contributions have been to Kevin McCarthy’s “Protect The House” PACs, as well as John McCain, Mitt Romney, and the Republican National Committee.

Typically, the Globe correctly explains, events like these have “host committees” of upwards of a dozen donors, and are held at private residences, not venues. The news follows a steady decline in support for the Governor of Florida, who hit a new low of just 14 percent support amongst Republican voters this week.

Who is Melanie?

“That is about on part for you folks.”
“On part”? What even is that?

“Commitment should come before self ambition.”

Yes. Which is why I admire Trump’s commitment to America at the expense of an ambition to make a ton more money in the private sector.

IIRC, John Hancock was extremely wealthy — maybe the richest Founding Father in New England — and poured most of his fortune into helping create and bequeath the USA for US

Like Trump, early on he wasn’t extremely political and was focused on business and personal fortune. Then his focus moved to freedom.

“what the establishment has done to Trump will look like nothing compared to what they will do to him. (RFK)”

At this point, I just assume that both of them are dead men walking. Deep State absolutely canNOT allow either of them to upset the apple cart.

“DeSantis is getting high on all the RINOs pushing and supporting him.”

Reminds me of Hillary with all of her sycophants drooling over her and telling her that everyone worships her wonderfulness. Nobody bothered to tell her that there was the slightest chance she’d lose the election.

“The deepstate would be in a quandary. They wouldn’t know who to cheat for.”

Great statement.

To have a future in politics, he will have to change another law in FL so he can be Governor for life.

He’s ruined his chances for ‘28.

He should have been monitoring FR...

Ah yes, just a couple of posts after you said all your opponents did was name-calling.
