Ron DeSantis officially files for presidential run, setting up clash with Donald Trump

Let's see his policies. Trump appointing globalist after globalist. He NEVER should have fired Bannon in favor of daddy's little Princess's husband.

You put Ryan, Rove and Bush into the conversation, as if they contributed something positive to America. All I’m asking is what have they contributed?

Well, if a general election were DeSantis vs. Biden, I would certain choose DeSantis. Other Freepers can make their choice, based on whatever criteria they decide are important.

If Karl Rove liking him is more important to some people, than having four more years of Biden, I disagree with that sentiment.

Ron DeSantis Will Launch His 2024 Campaign Wednesday Using the Alliance of Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch as Boost

May 23, 2023 | Sundance | 347 Comments

… And so it will come to pass, as many refused to believe.

Tomorrow, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will follow a sequence of events to launch the Sea Island billionaire strategy for a 2024 Republican nomination bid. This plan has been constructed for several years; that’s how I was able to predict the organization of the effort ten months ago and the exact date of the launch six months ago.

The sequence of the launch also tells a story. The sequence of tomorrow is priority driven. Each group is assisting in the launch sequence based on their importance to the Ron DeSantis campaign. That’s how this GOPe stuff rolls.

DeSantis will first meet with the billionaire donors at the Four Seasons Hotel for an exclusive campaign launch (the donors).
Then DeSantis we be hosted by Twitter CEO Elon Musk for an exclusive Twitter Spaces announcement (social media, influencers).
Then DeSantis will participate in a first of many Fox News promotions, hosted by Trey Gowdy in the 8pm hour formerly occupied by Tucker Carlson (Rupert Murdoch).
Immediately following the Fox News interview, DeSantis will be hosted by Mark Levin at 8:30pm (the Israeli lobby).

Sea Island, Social Media influencers, Murdoch then Israel. That’s the background of the DeSantis coalition as it relates to the priority of their role in the campaign.

These are the groups behind the management team of Ron DeSantis {Go Deep}.

As you can see above, Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch were together in February coordinating the big picture. Musk and Murdoch participating in the details of the RdS launch is not accidental. Murdoch has paid for DeSantis (book advance via Harper Collins) and is using his media platforms (NY Post, WSJ and Fox News Corp) to assist. Elon Musk is using his influence and platform to assist. This provides scale to the financial interests in 2024. Machiavelli would blush.

Elon Musk is to Ron DeSantis in 2024 as Bill Barr was to Robert Mueller in 2019.

Let me start the rest of this analysis with the good news. Ron DeSantis will fail in his effort to win the 2024 nomination – with one caveat – as long as Donald Trump is in the race. Despite what the professional political class will say, Ron DeSantis cannot beat Donald Trump, period! The only way DeSantis can win the nomination is if Donald Trump is not in the race; that’s the caveat.

It is important to remember, the goal of the professional Republican apparatus is not to help DeSantis win; the goal is to remove Donald Trump.

The professional Republican club hate Donald Trump because he represents the base voters of the Republican Party, and the GOPe hate the base of the party much more than they hate Democrats. Exponentially more.

At a local level, many professional Republican club members hate the MAGA base.
At the state level most professional Republican club members hate the MAGA base.
At the national level, the entire apparatus of the RNC and the business end of Republican politics hate the MAGA base.

They hate MAGA with as much, if not more, intensity than they hated the Tea Party predecessor.

The GOPe hate Donald Trump because he represents a coalition inside the American electorate that stands against the interests of the professional Republican class. You can put any other smaller detail or nuance to it, but that larger dynamic is the reality. Every professional political institution on the Republican side of the UniParty hates Trump because he represents, We The People.

Professional Republicans will support Democrats before they permit MAGA to take over the Republican Party. The billionaire Sea Island donors synergize with the professional Republicans on this key and consequential point. Getting rid of Donald Trump is job #1; winning the election in 2024 is irrelevant to them. Both the GOPe and the donors who fund them are ambivalent to the 2024 outcome beyond the removal of Trump.

This reality is why it is more important for MAGA to defeat the professional Republicans than defeat Democrats. The GOPe must be defeated first, then the confrontation with the Democrats can commence.

The good news is the base of the Republican Party now know this. It has been a painful period of acceptance, but a solid majority of the Republican voters now understand we are abhorred by the people who are funding Ron DeSantis to destroy us. When The Last Refuge was formed, this reality was only understood by a few. Now, we are the majority, and we have the awakening that Donald Trump brought to our nation to thank for that.

Additionally, I hope you can see why I spent so much time laying the groundwork for this conflict. When you know what the GOPe are going to do, the best way to defeat them is to pour sunlight on the agenda before they trigger the outcomes. There is no other way to awaken people as fast, as to predict what seems bizarre and then watch it unfold exactly as described. The tripwire approach is what brings people to the understanding and more painful acceptance. [August 2022 Outline]

The people behind Ron DeSantis have been preparing this 2024 landscape for several years. Everything about the DeSantis campaign is built upon a foundation of lies, manipulation and fraud. The teams that have assembled to support DeSantis are financed and paid well for their efforts. There are trillions at stake, and DeSantis will have more money than any political candidate in the history of U.S. politics. Again, this is a reference point for the scale of our corrupt state.

[ Ed Rollins Tweet – lolol ]

The DeSantis management and branding team have been designing this rollout for years. As an example, many of the events RdS attended in the past three years were intentionally produced to gather file footage video that you will see in 2024 campaign commercials that have yet to be broadcast. I will point them out as they surface.

Fox News is going to be ugly! That entire operation is going to use dark arts to manipulate those who still have not awakened to the nature of the real enemy.

Another positive sign that DeSantis will fail stems from the more recently created plan B and plan C from the Sea Island group. Brian Kemp (GA) and Glenn Younkin (VA) are two very recent examples of the shift. If the professional Republicans were confident, they would not create insurance policies. Just keep following the money and you will see it.

Remember, watch the Republican Governors Association (RGA) and their moves. This approach will be new to political followers, as the RGA will join in the attack against Trump and the MAGA base. The RGA is funded by the same donor activity as the Republican National Committee. Both groups will attempt to walk the fine line of attack, without looking like they are attacking – but it will be obvious. Consider this a major tripwire.

Team DeSantis will have every strategic point on paper in their favor, and they will have a lot of money; but they do not have the truth. Their campaign is built upon a foundation of lies.

I would not be me if I did not say, be angry – but be strategic with that anger and do not worry.

Do not listen to the dark whispers on your shoulder. Foreboding sucks. Don’t let anyone steal your peace of mind. Live your best life while pushing back against the manipulations and schemes. We are the majority. We are MAGA. We are a broad and diverse coalition of solid working class people who are comfortable in our skin, comfortable in our faith, comfortable in our beliefs and unwavering against all pressure.

Internally and externally be fearless against the lies. Don’t let lies and fraud pass without confrontation. Our strength is in the truth of our position. We have no pretenses and no reason to fear sunlight. Those who manipulate, scheme and use deception as a political strategy carry the weaknesses that stem from it.

Ron DeSantis will not win the nomination if we continue to spotlight the truth. Just remember to stay right with a loving God, and live your best life while doing it. Also, forgive yourself if you get a little salty at times; it happens.

Steadfast!

We got this…

Almost every presidential candidate ran before announcing.

Not to the extent that DeSantis has been campaigning. And Trump was president when he campaigned for his second term, so, not quite the same, is it?

Though I like DeSantis and will vote for him in 2028, he has been blessed by weak candidates that ran against him in Florida, both times.

He got lucky in 2018 in a squeaker against somebody that was clearly crooked and had moral issues. Then, DeSantis was blessed with Charlie Crist, who was always running for something and ran for governor 4 times, and except for 'winning' a seat in congress, wasn't much loved n Florida. The 20% advantage against Crist was something that just about any other candidate would have had against Crist. Crist was a very poor candidate for democrats, and Ron's victory in 2022 is overblown.

I’m not here to debate the legacy of George W. Bush. I’m observing comments made by people here, suggesting that DeSantis is a flawed candidate because of who is supporting him.

If you think the most important issues revolve around who supports DeSantis, go for it. Have your opinion.

What “smell” does Trump giving $100k to the Clinton Foundation give you? That was when Obama was POTUS. What were your politics then?

... exactly. those who support him show his evil origins.

Hard to believe Soros or Hillary would back a solid conservative such as Ron DeSantis.

If it were Trump versus DeSantis, those two would all-in on DeSantis.

Ryan wrote and passed the largest tax cut bill in American history.

He took the Speaker job to specifically get that accomplished

Show me who your friends are, and I'll tell you who you are.

Tell me your company, and I'll tell you who you are.

By the company you keep I can tell what life you lead.

Show me which lobbyists fill your pockets, and I'll know your political positions.

If the GOPe supports you, you're part of the Club we're not welcome in.

Luckily, FR has a history of vigourous and open debate during the primaries.

Except when it was Pat Buchanan running. Pat was labeled an antisemite and banned here.

Mabey you should take a flag of treason off your page before commenting.

More Ryan goodness please!

Why would [they] hate him?

The world hates genuine Christians, including the worldly ones on Free Republic.

I like your tagline, I wish Trump would heed it, and stop attacking from the left.

And good logic it is. If Pelosi supported a candidate would that candidate appeal to you? Ryan and Jeb are in that same pool w/Pelosi.
