Megadonor Tells DeSantis to Get Moderate or Else, Within Hours DeSantis Dismisses 2020 “Stolen Election Theories” as False August 4, 2023 | Sundance | 24 Comments These two events are not coincidental.

Ron DeSantis megadonor Robert Bigelow (below right) is already into the failing DeSantis campaign for $20 million.

Billionaire donor Bigelow tells Reuters that he has told the DeSantis managers the candidate needs to take moderate positions, or he will not donate any more money {LINK HERE}. Ron DeSantis is then questioned by reporters in Iowa about the Trump indictment and the claims of the 2020 election being stolen. Immediately DeSantis changes his talking points. “All those theories that were put out did not prove to be true,” Mr. DeSantis said in response to a reporter’s question after a campaign event at a brewery in Northeast Iowa.” {LINK}

So you will savor Marxists winning. You should slink away from this site in shame. You are a traitor, and have outed yourself as such. Discusting.

What should Trump do with Gays and Tranny’s?
Push them off tall buildings?
YOU be the first to push them off tall buildings.
You cast the first stone.

I would like to hear from the never Trumpers on this thread, whether or not they believe Trump won or lost the 2020 election.

I agree, if elections are not secure, this Republic is toast.

To many sell outs who are backed by the deepstate.

Here’s some advice for anyone, including Governor DeSantis, from the legendary Jesse Unruh (D), Speaker of the California State Assembly in the 1960s.

Asked about donors and lobbyists hanging around his members, he said, “If you can’t eat their food, drink their liquor, f*** their women, take their money, and then vote against them when the time comes - you don’t belong up here”.’

DeSantis is a young man, and he has time to toughen up re: donors, but so far, on Ukraine and now the existential Trump issue, he looks like a weakling.

I would like to see a second source for DeSantis comments. I have long sensed he could be this cycle Jeb! Bush. This will all come clear in near term.

Can you blame him?

Helping Trump has gained him nothing. Nothing on Free Republic and nothing with Trump himself. Let the goon carry his own bags.

DeSantis still fights WOKE better than Trump, and I do not think that will change.

We are in a culture war, and Trump only cares about money.

What gun ban bill did Trump sign?

The gun grabbers think Trump has derailed their banning efforts

Several excellent examples are outlined.

Trump got more votes than any other GOP Nominee in History.
No one cares who or what he did in New York to survive and prosper in a RAT run City.
It’s what he did as President that will forever define him.
That’s why I will cast my vote for him again.

No, I will savor saying, "I told you so!" which I will do a thousand times to everyone who thought this man had a chance at getting elected.

You should slink away from this site in shame. You are a traitor, and have outed yourself as such. Discusting.

Nope. I'm a conservative. I support conservative candidates. The people who should slink away in shame are the ones supporting a New York liberal who has no path to the White House and will cost the GOP the House and any shot at retaking the Senate.You people are absolutely delusional and you're leading this country to ruin.

You are all being played like a fiddle by the Left but you're so blindly devoted to Trump (who is grifting all of you to pay his legal bills) that you can't even see it happening.

They are all subject to the “hidden” donor money. That is WHY this nation is in trouble. Those Godless rich are directing things while it all goes to hell.

The Federalist Society also has an essay supporting President Trump’s action on protecting the 22nd amendment.

One of the things about Trump that many conservative appreciate is his ability to make the mask of civility and rationality fall off the faces of Leftists.

When that mask falls off, the twisted snarl of hatred is seen clearly in the light of day for everyone to see.

Trump seems to have the ability with Leftists akin to showing a cross to a vampire causing them to flinch or otherwise completely lose their composure involuntarily. I admit to enjoy seeing it in Leftists, but seeing it in erstwhile conservatives is painful and discouraging.

I am very saddened and disappointed to see this dynamic in action on Free Republic, and I was surprised to see that post and the way it was written.

So what?

I judge a man on his actions, not his words.

And Trump banned guns by executive order. This is an undisputed fact of history.

And he's on record telling congress he'd consider an Assault Weapons Ban.

The videos of him clearly speaking these words are easy to find.

Donald Trump: ‘I don’t know why anyone needs an AR-15’

Stop trying to gaslight me. I'm not an idiot.

Desantis will go down in history as one of the absolute worst candidates for president in the history of our country. When his second term is over he has no shot at anything in politics ever again.
The man is toast. Burnt toast. I can’t recall a man so lacking in charisma or likeability running for public office. Well, perhaps Charlie Crist is at the same level as Desantis now that I think about it.
I wouldn’t be shocked to see this guy bagging my groceries at my local Publix. His future is this bad at this point.

DC Globalists are evil but you're supporting a candidate that flip-flopped on the proxy war in Ukraine in order to please his globalist donors and the Republican establishment? That makes no sense whatsoever.

if desantis bows out Chris Christie will be next in line for these desantis supporters to try and convince every Trump supporter that it’s Christie or bust.
