Folks, I’m not trying to bust on Ron DeSantis, I’m just highlighting the dynamic in the background to include the political players and deep connected GOP club operatives. If the truth makes me a critic, then so be it; but I’m not going to play the pretending game. Quite frankly, I’m tired of it.
Ron DeSantis is backed by the same assembly of political insiders, donors, corporations and financial backers that supported Jeb Bush. The professionally republican class know what they have in DeSantis, and he is brand organized, packaged & managed to deliver on their intents.
Former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan is as dialed in to the GOP club system as it gets. Ryan’s brass nameplate is rivetted to one of the select mahogany chairs at the club table.
Speaking Wednesday at the Robin Hood conference before billionaires Steve Cohen and Paul Tudor Jones went on stage, Paul Ryan noted the GOP 2024 nominee will be “someone other than Donald Trump.”
According to a recording of his talk, Ryan named Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott as his three favorites. {source} DeSantis fighting Disney was “really good for him, from a political perspective,” Ryan said.
DeSantis didn’t raise $200+ million, with 94% coming from billionaires and multinational corporations, for a gubernatorial reelection race in Florida. Keep in mind all of the major expenses (television ads, mailers, etc.) are coming from outside PACs and affiliated groups.
DeSantis has raised a massive war chest and he is not spending it. He has willingly accepted the positioning for a 2024 nomination effort. It is intellectually dishonest not to see what the Club is doing.
The DNC Club is doing the same thing with California Governor Gavin Newsom.
The both wings of the UniParty want a Newsom -vs- DeSantis contest.
The professional political approach is as clear now in 2022 as it was in 2014 when the clubs were organizing the Hillary -vs- Jeb contest for 2016.

I’m not impressed. Ryan did this as a way to dampen enthusiasm for DeSantis, nothing more. I’m betting the GOPe and the Lincoln Projectionists are going to start promoting Nikki Haley.

I’m with you, Dave!
The bold sarcasm tag was there to highlight the ironic nature of my comment. I could easily go the rest of my life without ever hearing from these losers again.

In 2012 I honestly should have voted for Obama has there ever been a more stereotypical old boy network GOP ticket then Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan?

So, is the author intimating that DeSantis is bought and paid for?
No
intimating about it.
"Ron DeSantis is backed by the same assembly of political insiders, donors, corporations and financial backers that supported Jeb Bush. The professionally republican class know what they have in DeSantis, and he is brand organized, packaged & managed to deliver on their intents."

Looks like the author is intimating exactly that.

Come to think of it, that will be exactly what Liz Cheney yaps.

Crazy Sundance aka Mark Bradman is a crackpot, narcissistic clown whose sense of self adulation is beyond belief.
De Santis is no more like Jen bush than the man in the moon. If bush people like him like the rest of Florida does, so what? It hardly makes him one of Bradmans DEEP STATE conspiracies that he touts forever and forever.
I would also point out that a little research will disclose how many times this guys ‘s stated facts and theories turn out to be absolutely wrong. Which he never admits or acknowledges .
The guy has lost more viewers of his site than he ever had. While you can be initially impressed with his analysis of connecting the dots he will quickly go off the rails when he tells you what all his research means. Like this piece, de santis is a bush clone GOPE establishment clone.
Like I said, the guy is nuts.
