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.

“Coveted”?????
I’d tell traitorous RINO Ryan to stick his endorsement in a very private location.

That “coveted” is sarcasm. It HAS to be.

He is actually smart and a great reporter in the sense of tracking timelines, entities and people.
But he suffers from whatever you call the opposite of TDS. He likes Trump so much it warps his thinking.
There is nothing wrong with DeSantis getting endorsements. Even from people who are not politically perfect.
As Reagan said when folks questioned his endorsement by gay republicans, paraphrased: "hey, they are endorsing me... I'm not endorsing them."

This means the obvious. DeSantis is probably big War/Pentagon. No thanks.

Agreed, my good FRiend.
Might this be more like stolen popularity?
Ryan is not highly respected among us Traditional Republicans, maybe he figures if he says something nice about our rising star, Ron DeSantis, he might possibly swipe some ancillary cred.
Nope.
Ryan is Ryan, and there's no running from that.
At all.

Like I said, he can connect dots from researching things. I give him credit for that. It’s his conclusions that are not based on anything more than his biases.
To: Bratch
Hopefully DeSantis won’t fall for the 2022 TRAP.

Now who would be stirring the pot with all of this bullshit? Sure as hell ain’t Paul Ryan! He isn’t smart enough! Did Obama or Soros put these words in Ryan’s mouth?

Needless to say, if Trump and DeSantis go head-to-head for the GOP nomination in 2024, all Trump has to say is that Paul Ryan endorsed DeSantis.
Not an endorsement ANY Republican would want for 2024.

This is the deep state uniparty desperately trying to hang on.
Don’t be shocked when they start trying to pair up Tulsi Gabbard with Ronny for VP.

I seem to remember a similar situation from not too long ago. There was a guy that many were gaga about and his name was Ted Cruz. He was supposed to be the one we were all waiting for. The one to finally lead us off of the rino plantation and into the windy heights of a constitutional republic. Then he fell in with the bushes and tried his best to sabotage the republican nominee for President that year, Donald J. Trump. Is history repeating itself?
