Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has chosen a finance director for his prospective presidential campaign, two sources close to DeSantis said on Thursday.

Lauren Lofstrom, who served as finance director for Texas Senator Ted Cruz during his 2016 presidential campaign, is joining DeSantis' political operation and has begun meeting with the governor's allies to discuss fundraising strategies, said the sources who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Others who have joined DeSantis' political operation include Jason Johnson, who served as Cruz's chief strategist in 2016, the sources said.

Enough of this political nonentity. All this build up and the guy will come out and faceplant. Send in Chris Christie at least he’s got some fire in his belly and says something interesting or funny every once in a while.

The only factor that matters is money, thus a finance director is essential, whether he round or not.

A full half of the party is looking for someone else.

Are you kidding? The Republican party is full of posers like you. Party before patriotism...Party over principle, the same half who stabbed Trump in the back from day one.

Most of the Republicans are riding in the same limo as the Democrats....Of course most people are now fully aware of this decades long bull sh*t con-job.

People like you want lawyers, not leaders. C'mon .

DeSantis has stood for Floridians, but is anyone bothered how he is deliberately disobeying a Florida law that states any politician who holds an office must resign from that office if he/she are plans to run for another office?

Several $50 donations during both campaigns.

Donald Trump remains the ONLY politician that I've ever kicked in some cash to.

And I was all in! Trump bumper stickers. Trump coffee mugs. Trump beer glasses. I had the t-shirt. I was sold on Trump. And happy to do so!

What a great time it was to be a Trump supporter in those days.

Sigh...

Another angry old man like Trump? As has so often been said, a fish rots from the head.

Nope. But Trump is not going to win the nomination.

In 2020, 60% of Trump's funding came from big money donors.

............

more false information...

Source of Funds

Large Contributions...$396,152,428....51.17%

Small Individual Contributions (< $200)...$378,084,012 ...48.83%

Candidate self-financing...$8,021...0.00%

Federal Funds... $0... 0.00%

Other... $0... 0.00%

summary data 2020 cycle

so only 51% were large contributions...so almost 49% of the funds were from individual donations under $200...

They could trim him down a little but then I think his head would be too big.

If DeSantis runs against Trump and somehow wins, (which won’t happen), he’ll lose about 65%+ of 75 million Trump voters.

Tell that to Brian Kemp.

Even after he bucked Trump supporters, and even after Trump endorsed Stacey Abrams, Kemp still brought home the MAGA vote.

As central_va is fond of saying, "Where else are you gonna go?"
