Donald Trump Megadonor Abandons Him As He Predicts Collapse in Support
Newsweek via MSN ^ | 22 May 23 | Ewan Palmer

Posted on 05/22/2023 4:09:24 AM PDT by Erik Latranyi

A top GOP donor who previously backed Donald Trump has announced that he will be supporting Ron DeSantis in the 2024 Election.

Hal Lambert, founder and CEO of Texas-based Point Bridge Capital, said he wants to "do a lot to help DeSantis win" amid strong speculation the Florida governor will confirm his presidential campaign in the coming days.

Lambert, who set up an exchange-traded fund named after the former president's Make America Great Again 2016 campaign slogan, MAGA ETF, and previously served on Trump's inaugural committee in 2016, told the New York Post that he decided to back DeSantis after meeting with him and wife in Florida three weeks ago.

Lambert said he was also put off by Trump's recent CNN town hall, where the former president continued to falsely claim the 2020 Election was "rigged."

"What voters who didn't vote for Trump in 2020 are going to vote for him this time based on his performance? I don't think anyone will," Lambert told The Post. "We can't talk about things from four years ago that can't be changed.

"Trump is going to have a difficult time winning the general election. The election won't be about Joe Biden's bad record. It will be a referendum on Trump instead."

It is reported that DeSantis will file paperwork declaring his presidential candidacy on May 25 to coincide with a donor meeting in Miami, before a formal announcement a few days later.

They all start the day by putting on their pants or panties, whichever.

What makes dems so all powerful, that they can step right up and obtain the ballot from a non voter?

Why does the non voter give up their ballot, knowing it will be filled out for them?

I truly wonder how many are harvested, and how much is a euphemism for outright cheating by printing millions of ballots that never see the home, from which they are ostensibly harvested, whereas, in reality, they are boxes of filled out ballots, waiting to be delivered to needed precincts, under the "guise" of harvesting them.

Lastly, does the candidate matter at all? See Biden/Harris for starters.

Who is going to cause a gut churning reaction to get out to the polls?

Neocons are primarily GOPe as they think warring all over the globe and American aggression is good foreign policy.

I always get a kick at how they try to wrap every color revolution or war they start in the Flag.

Nothing they do actually has any benefit for the American people. They get the money and power, we get the coffins.

Ballot harvesting is legal in all the states that matter (PA, MI, WI, AZ)

Those states are also under firm Democrat control at the state level.

The rules are not going to change

Smarter people than me need to figure out how we can build a harvesting machine to exceed the Dem harvesting machine.

Here is one such guy:

Scott Pressler

First, don't call these people voters. They are registered voters but do not go to the polls. They are not informed.

Second, the Democrats pay activists $X per vote collected and deposited.

Third, the Democrats are registering many of these millions of trespassers that just came across our border since Biden took office. That makes their registration advantage even bigger.

But all this is perfectly legal (except registering non-citizens).

So how do we win again so we can reform the rules?

Well, we need to win at the state level again.

Check out Scott Pressler, who is the man we need to fight this.

Sigh....

Instead of playing "gotcha" child games, try to THINK.

We need to beat the fraud with better strategies and tactics so we can change the laws at the state level.

We don't need to run on that as a campaign issue. Everyone on our side agrees and those in the middle do not need to be involved. We just need their vote.

Yes, we have to play like the left plays and not always reveal out intentions.

I don't care if you agree or don't like it, but that is the state of politics in this country today.

It is bizarre how, when Trump mentions the biggest crime of the country’s history, the stolen election, the coup, DeSantis’s supporters try to make out that it is rude and crude and should not be mentioned. It is as if that is all they have as an excuse to back DeSantis.

Yup. DeSantis and many of his supporters can't acknowledge the stolen election because then they have to admit that Trump won twice.

Thank you for proving you are nothing more than a FILTHY LIAR

Not one person here disputed that 2020 had massive fraud. I dare you to find it, LIAR.

You won't and it proves your posts are worthless

he is losing his own voters

There is zero real-world evidence of that, as DeSantis is discovering.

It is not showing up in the polls yet. But the pro-life movement is ready to walk away from him as are the pro-2nd Amendment groups.

Uh-huh.

Your data only emanates from your penumbras, apparently.

But the pro-life movement is ready to walk away from him as are the pro-2nd Amendment groups.

Riiiiiight. Well, if that ever starts to begin to commence to happen — as anti-Trump people have been predicting every hour of every day since 2015 — I'm sure you'll post about it.

Meanwhile, back on planet earth, Trump is utterly dominating the primary.

And it's so much fun.

Keep relying on polls this early and you might learn something.

Hillary was destroying Obama at this point also.
