Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is quickly becoming the favorite of the globalist RINO mega donors who want to “move on” from Donald Trump.
Ken Griffin, a globalist RINO mega donor, talked to Politico about why he is backing DeSantis because he sees him as the vehicle to move on from Trump and his brand of populism that has made the GOP less hospitable for soulless corporations that have sold America down the river.
“He did a lot of things really well and missed the mark on some important areas,” Griffin said. “And for a litany of reasons, I think it’s time to move on to the next generation.”
Griffin has given $5 million to DeSantis’ gubernatorial re-election campaign in Florida. He is hoping that by buying favor with DeSantis, he can convince him to run in 2024 in an attempt to end the Trump revolution.
“Would I support him? The bigger question is, is he going to run? That bridge has to be crossed,” he said.
“He has a tremendous record as governor of Florida, and our country would be well-served by him as president,” Griffin added.
It is clear Donald Trump is intending to run for president again in 2024 from the comments he has made.
“Everybody, I promise you, in the very next — very, very, very short period of time, you’re going to be happy,” Trump said. “But first we have to win a historic victory for Republicans on Nov. 8.”
In addition to the RINO megadonors, the notorious former House Majority Leader Paul Ryan is also on board for DeSantis in 2024.
NEW: The GOP 2024 nominee will be "someone other than Donald Trump," said former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan at a closed conference in New York Wednesday afternoon.
According to a recording of his talk, he named DeSantis, Youngkin, and Tim Scott as his three favorites.

Ryan added that the tough posturing against Disney by DeSantis was “really good for him, from a political perspective,” and that the American Conservative Union is going to be pressuring “woke corporations like Walmart” more and more in the years to come.
well do you?
He may have the right enemies, but he has the wrong friends.
I like Trump, and I will vote for him, at least in the primaries. But I don’t think he will be the GOP nominee. I have no idea at this early date who would be. There are some names I would support in the general, and some I would not, under ANY circumstances.
It will be Trump vs the Seven or More Dwarfs.
Again.
“Confederates who hate the US shouldn’t get a vote.”
Well, I know you weren’t speaking of central_va, because from what I’ve read of his posts over the years he does NOT hate the US.
Adelson, like Kushner, is more devoted to Israel than the US, so in that regard, yes. And he actually gave millions, whereas your accusations seem to be more projections of what might happen, not what has.
He wishes that the traitorus, evil, Confederacy had one the Civil War. That IS hating the US. No different from the left.
Answer: None
Hey, didn't I see pulling down a statue of Robert E Lee?
The Old Guard Republicans are scared to death of Donald Trump.
Continuing to defend people who made war against The United States, you cpntinuetoprove my point.
States have the right to leave the union. The South would be MUCH better off today if they had won their freedom from FedGov. No denying that.
“...call the man ...the “globalist RINO” candidate.”
It is Wall Street never-Trumpers and MAGAs-haters backing DeSantis’s who quite accurately label him as that.
As if ANY Pubbie presidential nominee will win.
Face reality...you can’t beat the cheat.
BUT...(see my tagline)...
Yeah right. The New Deal would not have affected them. Think again.
They aren’t afraid of Trump. But many Republicans are growing frustrated with Trump’s “winning” ability to send Democrats to Washington.
The South voted for the Tyrant Wilson, and the Traitor FDR overwelming numbers.
I’ll support DJT 100% if he wins the primaries, however I mostly likely will vote for DeSantis is he runs and suspect if he does he will win the primaries by a pretty solid margin
“He wishes that the traitorus, evil, Confederacy had one the Civil War. That IS hating the US. No different from the left.”
First off, I am assuming you meant “won” instead of “one.” If I am mistaken, ignore what I said.
But I do want to address the gist of your comment. It is very unfair to judge the actions of someone some 160 years ago by the standards of today; the world is much different today. For one thing, back in those days one’s primary allegiance was to one’s family, home, and state; because those were immediate; the idea of a national allegiance was not on the same level.
And I have to ask you this: Were the colonists who rebelled against King George III and waged a war for independence, traitors?
You see, it’s all a matter of perspective. And, of course, the victors get to set the rules by which judgment is cast.
You are from Pennsylvania. He is from Virginia. My family roots are Deep South (Louisiana), as are my wife’s (also Louisiana, and going back to the 1700s before Louisiana was ever brought in to the US). I have always said that the American Civil War was the greatest tragedy this country has ever faced. If we have to fight another one, let’s not fight it over something that happened before even your great grandparents were born, or at least before they were old enough to give it much thought. Let’s fight it over something we believe in TODAY.
