Minutes before Trump announcement, DeSantis receives standing ovation at Republican confab
Fox ^ | Nov 15 | By Paul Steinhauser | Fox News

ORLANDO – Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida received a hero’s welcome on Tuesday night, as he addressed an audience of leading Republican minutes before former President Donald Trump announced he was launching a 2024 White House bid.

DeSantis, who last week won a landside re-election victory for a second term steering Florida, garnered a standing ovation from the audience as he delivered a keynote conversation at the Republican Governors Association’s winter meeting in Orlando, according to multiple sources in the room.

According to one source, DeSantis spotlighted his "impressive re-election campaign" and how he won Maimi-Dade County, connecting with Hispanic voters.

Another source told Fox News that governor received an "enthusiastic" response as he "recapped the Florida blueprint and the path to winning Hispanics, women, and independents."

And a third source added that the speech received a very warm reception from an audience that is energized about the possibilities of taking the DeSantis model and applying it to battleground states across the country.

They’re playing a game called “Let’s you and him fight!”

Don’t play along with them; they’re poisonous.

If you’re trashing Trump, you’re part of the problem.
If you’re trashing DeSantis, you’re part of the problem.
If you’re trashing Youngkin, you’re part of the problem.
Etc.

The Leftist Piranhas, and that includes FOX, want you to be part of the problem.

Don’t oblige them.

Wasn’t Tulsi filling in for Tucker Monday night and saying things about Unity (I didnt watch—I read about it)?

> “People can like both men. This trying to start an inner party battle is disgusting.”

For those who value the truth, they will feel foolish for “liking” DeSwoonster as he gets schmoozed by the anti-MAGA cabal and is led to believe the “Party” wants him to be President. This is happening now.

You’re not there yet.

Last week, at any time, those who took control of elections away from the American people, had the ability to shut DeSenseless down, even though FL is overwhelmingly red, the people and their vote don’t matter.

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4106441/posts

But he was allowed to win, why?

Well, look at the propaganda feed now coming out:

“DeSantis for President 2024”

McConnell approves.

DeSantis had to be reminded his vote totals were well over a million less than in 2020, near 25% more voters went for Trump in 2020.

Is DeSantis a bad guy? No.

Then why does he go along with this sewage of thinking?

Because he’s a typical political brain, never started or ran a business, just took money and messages that he was “the choice”, and he laps it up because he can’t think outside the box he’s put in.

Does that make him a bad guy? No, it just makes him typical.

He has been allowed to carry scripts written for him that push the buttons of conservatives and he likely believes what’s written in these scripts which are popular.

But that doesn’t change the fact he was allowed to win as revealed by studying the findings in the link above.

Yes. Real Americas Voice (RAV) is live on the Roku channel #194 and live in Pluto. You can also watch it live on their website Real America’s Voice.com.. I switch back and forth between RAV and Newsmax (channel #192 I think) on Roku (also on Pluto).

From leftwing POLITICO:

FLORIDA: DeSantis wins big, with an eye toward 2024
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.politico.com/amp/news/2022/11/08/florida-governor-2022-ron-desantis-charlie-crist-00065788

“TAMPA, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis swiftly trounced Democrat Charlie Crist on Tuesday night, a win that will shape Florida politics likely for years and sets the Republican governor up for a probable 2024 presidential run.”

It’s all about taking down Trump and MAGA.

McConnell and Schumer, as money managers of billions from Oligarchs, want Trump gone for good.

“Schumer: I’m Meeting with McConnell to Push for Ditching ‘MAGA Republicans”
https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/schumer-im-meeting-with-mcconnell-to-push-for-ditching-maga-republicans

To them, the MAGA Movement must go the way of the TEA PARTY.

MAGA must die.

This time I think Trump will run a third party style campaign but on the republican ticket. I’ve been thinking the same about Tulsi. Trump will take on both parties and what better way to do that than to have a young and attractive disaffected democrat kicked out of the democrat party on the ticket? He will try to bring in more democrats, more minorities. There will be very tough economic times in 2024. It just might work.

Agree

I’ve mentioned this before ….last Tuesday I was doing my volunteer stint handing out voter guides for the local Republicans

One of the head honcho Repubs in our county stopped by to see how things were going, and oh, by the way, Ron DeSantis is running for President!
He thought he was talking to the choir….

I was angry…..controlled but angry
I told him….’this can’t be true, he said he wouldn’t run against Trump’
He smiled and said ‘He’s running’

I said ‘but Trump supported him for the governor’s race’
He said….’doesn’t matter’

I said ‘this will divide the Party’
It didn’t matter to him

I realize what I’ve said may seem ‘anecdotal’ but this is my personal account of what happened.
He didn’t expect us to disagree……..
I left shortly after

I’ve lived here for many years and have always been involved politically, at some level
I have been ‘burned out’ by the local Republicans before….there’s only a core few, it seems, who have any depth
…..but I thought….THIS TIME would be different

I’m sorry. I am.

The day you finally admit to yourself there’s not a dime’s bit of difference between the two parties, and that their goal is to perpetuate some sort of dual controlled opposition to keep us divided while they, their interests, and their families make tons of money is one tough day.

Last week Elise Stefanik burst forward with enthusiasm to endorse Donald Trump.

I expected DeSantis to do the same. I waited and waited, nothing.

Then I did something I’m not supposed to do, I started thinking with my brain.

That’s when it dawned on me that DeSantis was allowed to win:

I knew Floridians would vote en masse for a conservative candidate, but given the powers detailed in the above link, it wouldn’t matter what Floridians wanted. DeSantis could have been defeated at anytime by injecting a million counterfeit ballots tied to real names and addresses.

FOX begins their anti-Trump 2024 campaign.

Exactly right. A POS network does what a POS network does. Glad to have abandoned them years ago.

Yes, we watch RAV and Newsmax, live, on our Roku.

I was asking about the Hallmark alternative channel, that Freedom had mentioned.

Thx.

All this infighting will not help

It is here to stay, just the same. Even here on FR we see extensive infighting. Conservatives can't work together. Egos tend to trip them up.

Trump received a standing ovation as well. Two different stories combined to discredit Trump.

Yeah exactly. It’s stated as though they’re mutually exclusive in terms of having to like one or the other.

Already tied of this.

We have Dish and can’t get GAC unless we add another “tier” that adds just more money to our bill.

Good for Ron, he is going to be a great second term Governor for the next 4 years, residents of FL are lucky to have him.
