Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis has fired a number of his staff due to his struggling presidential campaign failing to meet fundraising goals, as well as burning through inordinate amounts of large, corporate donor cash less than two months after he announced that he was running for the Republican presidential nomination.
The news came just days after National Pulse Editor-in-Chief predicted the “shake up” on The Campaign Trail podcast as well as on Twitter:
[cut]
Another major revelation is that just 15 percent of the DeSantis campaign’s donations came from “small-dollar donors,” compared to former president Donald Trump, who is heavily reliant on smaller donations from his fanbase. Instead, DeSantis has relied upon donors with international corporate interests, such as Morteza “Mori” Hosseini, who has bankrolled Nancy Pelosi and supported the Obamas, and globalists like Howard Cox, who served on a World Economic Forum board alongside Klaus Schwab.
Much of the internal campaign frustration has been aimed at Generra Peck, a former D.C. lobbyist.
“She should be [in the hot seat]” one DeSantis donor said, with another Republican source saying: “They never should have brought so many people on, the burn rate was way too high… People warned the campaign manager but she wanted to hear none of it.”
“DeSantis stock isn’t rising,” the donor added. “Twenty percent is not what people signed up for.”
In response, the DeSantis campaign aide, Andrew Romeo, argued in a statement: “Americans are rallying behind Ron DeSantis and his plan to reverse Joe Biden’s failures and restore sanity to our nation, and his momentum will only continue as voters see more of him in person…”
The news comes at the end of another poor week for Florida’s Governor, who saw his delegate forecast hit an all-time low. Donors, including the Murdochs, are subsequently looking to go elsewhere.
Part of the shake up I told you was coming. There’s more to come. https://t.co/ACzZUcJq9i— Raheem. (@RaheemKassam) July 14, 2023
Embrace the suck, Cortes, and, other backstabbers.
Hindenburg Omen…?
Hey Ron, you’re still young. let Trump have this one, it’s his last chance.
He should have embraced Trump, maintain momentum in his 2nd term and take the MAGA mantle in 2028.
Instead he backstabed FLA voters. Only his ego thinks he has a chance against Trump.
Yeah, right. After Trump gets clobbered in '24 (and he will. He has no strategy to win back any of the swing states that he lost in 2020 other than denying he lost them at all) his supporters will roll him out for '28. "He's the only man who can Drain The Swamp! Everyone else needs to Wait Their Turn!"
And in 2032, "He's only 86, whip-smart, and in better physical shape than most 30 year olds!"
And in '36, Trump will be a spry 90 year old, rested and ready to enact vengeance on the Deep State.
Sometimes it is not the staff.

😬👍
Trump is the only president to help bring back middle class manufacturing jobs, by imposing serious tariffs on China. None of the other candidates have balls to go against their rich donor class to do what Trump did.
Check my tag line.
Why white women use Botox to make their lips look African?
We don't need tarrifs. If you want to bring back middle class manufacturing jobs, then repeal the myriad of EPA, OSHA, and other regulations that make it cost-prohibitive to make stuff here. Americans don't want to pay $2000 for a USA-made TV when a Chinese-made one costs them $200 and that's what you'll get with tariffs. And that's just another form of inflation.
Of course, Trump hired Scott Pruitt to do exactly this, take a blowtorch to the EPA. Unfortunately, Pruitt made liberals cry and Trump, always trying to please those who hate him, demanded Pruitt's resignation.
“Sometimes it is not the staff.d”
indeed ... apparently the dogs are refusing to eat the food ...
That is video clip amazing.
Ron has no power to let or not let Trump win the primary. The one certain thing is that DeSantis never will.
