If you have followed the background, the purpose of Ron DeSantis meeting privately today with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, is very clear. Georgia is the fulcrum state of the 2024 Sea Island “Roadmap for Ron.”
Ron DeSantis met privately with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Friday, the latest in his effort to fortify relationships with three Republican governors alienated by Donald Trump.
The meeting, at a hotel in Buckhead, Georgia, preceded DeSantis’ appearance at a gathering of presidential candidates hosted by conservative talk radio host Erick Erickson. The two talked for about 30 minutes and did not discuss an endorsement, according to two people familiar with the meeting.
[…] Kemp represents one of the most critical general election swing states in the country, and the meeting Friday comes on the heels of Trump’s indictment in the state.
Earlier this week, Kemp ripped into Trump’s false claims about voter fraud there, writing, “For nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward — under oath — and prove anything in a court of law. Our elections in Georgia are secure, accessible, and fair and will continue to be as long as I am governor. The future of our country is at stake in 2024 and that must be our focus.”

DeSantis/Kemp sounds like a decent ticket.
If he didn’t march in there and tell Kemp to squash the ghettopotamus prosecutor in Fulton Co., then they both can foad.
If he DID, then there’s hope.
Two weasels hold secret meeting in Atlanta. Reminds me to Bill Clinton’s tarmac meeting with Loretta Lynch.
And there you have it.
It’s a shame. I really liked DeSantis. But engaging in talks” with a head of the Swamp Mafia, means for me that… “I’m OUT”.
—-> DeSantis/Kemp sounds like a decent ticket.
Sure.
Deep State America 2024!
Unfortunately, people only include DeSantis when it comes to signing Bills. They forget the people in the State Legislature who worked together to get those Bills passed so they could be sent to DeSantis for signing. I'd bet that a large number of the people in the Florida State Legislature have been there far longer than DeSantis has been Governor. He's just lucky that he had such a high Republican majority in the Legislature to make him look good, otherwise, he'd have been lucky to get reelected.
He couldn't even say the 2020 election was stolen. All he does is use lawyer-speak.
Yep
Yeah, it has to be a dullard GOPe RINO if Kemp is behind it.
Brian Kemp reminds me of Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke) of the “Dukes of Hazzard”.
Brad Raffenberger plays the part of Sheriff Rosco Coltrane (James Best), the toady who did all the “enforcing” for Boss Hogg.
That’s true. I remember that too.
I guess Biden will win Georgia then.
Let us not forget that.
I’m not sure it won’t still end up Trump/DeSantis in 2024, assuming the resident state rule (Florida for both) could be overcome by President Trump switching to say, Michigan, a state he badly needs to carry as well.

(Via Politico) Ron DeSantis met privately with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Friday, the latest in his effort to fortify relationships with three Republican governors alienated by Donald Trump.
The meeting, at a hotel in Buckhead, Georgia, preceded DeSantis’ appearance at a gathering of presidential candidates hosted by conservative talk radio host Erick Erickson. The two talked for about 30 minutes and did not discuss an endorsement, according to two people familiar with the meeting.
[…] Kemp represents one of the most critical general election swing states in the country, and the meeting Friday comes on the heels of Trump’s indictment in the state.

Our elections in Georgia are secure, accessible, and fair and will continue to be as long as I am governor. The future of our country is at stake in 2024 and that must be our focus.”
DeSantis, the Florida governor, is still running second to Trump in national Republican primary polls, though he has fallen further behind.
In their meeting Friday, DeSantis and Kemp discussed DeSantis’ recent appearance at the Iowa State Fair and the first primary debate next week, according to the two people familiar with the conversation. They also talked about what it’s like to campaign with family members on the road and about college football.
It’s the second time in recent months that DeSantis has met with Kemp. He also huddled with the governor at the Georgia statehouse earlier this year. (more)
Georgia examples include the Sea Island reference points, the Mike Pence rally to support Kemp, George W Bush rallying support for Kemp, the intentional non requests for Trump ’22 campaigning, True the Vote’s Catherine Englebrecht documenting the systemic vote system corruption by Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp and his entire administration, or the MSM push to use Kemp as an example of a Trump slayer.
You guys already know the background of Georgia grassroots activists booing Kemp at the state convention, and the recent issue of Brian Kemp adviser Cody Hall joining team DeSantis while remaining a Kemp advisor.
The Sea Island group of billionaires, influence agents, GOPe politicians, multinationals, Wall Street hedge funds and corporate Republicans are manipulating the events in Georgia to support the roadmap that contains their nominee, Ron DeSantis.
Control is the key in these totalitarian illusions of democracy.
If Fani Willis is targeting the group who organize against the interests of Brian Kemp and the Republican club leadership, she is doing them a favor. Brian Kemp and his Republican Party crew support corrupt District Attorney Fani Willis, just like former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell supported U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder in the targeting of the Tea Party (2011, 2012). The alignments are exactly identical.
Again, for reference, this is not a short-term issue. This is a long-term construct on behalf of the right-wing of the UniParty and the Bush clan apparatus to remove the threat of MAGA politics from their controlled party.
DeSantis is a tool, a willing vessel for these interests. The benefit DeSantis provides is not contained in his winning the 2024 primary, but rather in stopping Donald Trump from winning it.
In 2010, the Tea Party caught the corporate Republican Party off guard; they reassembled their machinery, and then attacked and removed the Tea Party influence in 2012. In 2016, the counterinsurgent Tea Party base found a way to fight back with Donald Trump; we reassembled and added more support from the middle and working class around the America First agenda and defeated Wall Street Republicans again. However, every moment thereafter has been this battle between the party control operatives and the MAGA insurgents.
That battle has continued, and Georgia is the latest visible evidence of the war raging in the background.
We told you this was going to be very ugly, and it is unfolding exactly as we would expect.
It will get worse, much worse.
Cowboy up!
>I doubt Trump could win GA again. I voted for him twice, but won’t again.<
What’s your reasoning?
This....and another RINO confirms his treason.
:)
Oooh yeah that’s a good one...
I’d trust Biden with a child before I’d trust GA elections and that includes Boss Hogg’s Hazzard County...
He beat Charlie Crist by 20 points in 2021. That’s hardly luck, except in the choice that FL Dems made to run a hapless opponent.
