DeSantis Event ‘By Far The Biggest Ever’ Held On Twitter Spaces, $1+ Million Raised In First Hour
The Daily Wire ^ | May 24, 2023 | Ryan Saavedra

Posted on 05/24/2023 8:03:52 PM PDT by chickenlips

Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis‘ special event on Twitter Spaces Wednesday evening was “by far” the most viewed in the history of the company.

DeSantis made the announcement that he was running for president during the Twitter Space, which was hosted by Twitter owner Elon Musk and GOP donor David Sacks, a close friend of Musk’s.

“This was by far the biggest room ever held on social media,” Sacks wrote in-part on the platform. “Twitter performed great after some initial scaling challenges. Thanks Twitter Team for adapting so quickly to make history!”

Musk confirmed the news by retweeting Sacks’ tweet and replying to another tweet that noted there were more than 700,000 concurrent users on the Twitter Space at one time.

The only known Soros financial ties to any current GOP Presidential candidates is the $100+ million that Soros loaned Trump to build Trump Tower in Chicago, that Trump never had to pay back as part of the bankruptcy settlement around that.

If you have any evidence of any other actual transfers of Soros money to other candidates, by all means let’s see it.

Sounds like Trump won that round.

Or it was an easy way to give Trump money for nothing.

I looked on you tube at the announcement and it was live. There were 12,000 viewers at the time.

Trump stole from his own “charity” to buy luxuries for himself, is a simple example.

Got link? You're well known around here as the consummate liar. You can't post without lying through your teeth. Fresh back from being MIA and right back to being true to form.

"But there was a 20-minute delay!," they cackled

Like they're never technical glitches in any kind of campaign announcement

Trump will have to get indicted again to raise that kind of cash

And maybe someone, like soros, gave money to DeSantis. Or maybe it was the pedos at the Lincoln Project. Maybe it was ten open border bush leaguers. And NOT for nothing, as RDS has made it very clear that he can be bought, as his recent disavowing of his own earlier secure-the-borders campaign ad demonstrates.

No one can piss through a record haul of campaign donations like Trump did in the 2020 election. He basically was broke by September and had to cancel ads in Wisconsin, Ohio, and Pennsylvania because he had stupidly and wastfully spent the money on vanity ads

I always have links, and you’ve never disproven a single one.

Get this, Trump’s own lawyer tried to claim that it wasn’t improper that Trump spent his charity funds on a vanity portrait of himself, because the portrait “only” cost $10,000.

Ultimately Trump was ordered to pay $2 million for improper use of his charity funds, some of which Trump claimed would be spent on veterans.

Pure conjecture. Back in reality, Soros gave Trump over $100 million.

“Twitter crashed because DeSantis was so popular.”

I’m guessing you never heard the actual reason. At the beginning they were running the event out of Elon’s account which was buggy. So after 15-20 minutes they moved it to an underling’s account and it was fine, even though there were more people online.

It wasn’t the number of people; it was the technology.

How much money did Jeb have in 2016???

Finally “officially” announces, and it’s already been a train wreck in slow motion for weeks.

Yet we are to believe the twitter “kick off”, is going to turn the tide?

It was a disaster because there was nothing substantive in DeSantis’s announcement.

“Trump will ALWAYS draw a bigger shoe than DeSantis”

Trump is better in media. He has a certain presence and charisma. When he has to read lines from TelePromptr it hobbles him.

Last night it made sense why RD used the Twitter audio-only method. Even without seeing him it was clear he was reading every word.

And all of his policies and big ideas are things PDJT already did that Biden, for the most part, EO’ed out of existence.

Maybe RD will be ready in a few years, but he has some growing and learning to do. His groomers have failed overall. If he can kick his groomers to the curb maybe he can become his own man over time and be ready for the big league.

If Deep State is funding DeSantis, he’ll have all money Deep State wants him to have.

But since Deep State has and can still steal elections at will, what difference does money make?

Until we secure our elections, Deep State will pick our winner for us.

There is no need for anyone who supports Trump to panic over Desantis

He won’t even win the Florida primary, let alone the national one.

RFK Jr is more of a threat to the White House to Trump than Desantis will ever be.

After Desantis’ claim his “build the wall” ad was just satirical, and he doesn’t actually support building the wall, are you still going to try to argue this guy isn’t fully owned by the establishment/globalist/uniparty folks?

Math is not there, for anyone other than Trump to be the nominee, as long as he’s in the race, he’s the nominee, and it won’t even be close.

However, Desantis supporters are free to deny this reality and feed each other delusions to the contrary... The Rubio/Cruz/Jeb et al folks here did the same things in 16. I will expect nothing less this cycle.

Back in reality

LOL! You should try it sometime:

I like DeSantis, and if he was to win the primary, I'd vote for him. Up until he walked back his campaign promise on border security I really wanted to see him debate Trump, and then I'd decide. But he's really blowing it. He wasn't ready for prime time. Now I see why so many recommended that he sit this one out and wait until 2028.

Not only is RDS failing to get off the ground, he's damaging himself beyond repair for 2028. Sad.

Totally wrong, and probably knowingly so.

DeSantis add was made to be humorous, was his point, and is correct. Everyone thought it was hilarious when it was released, because it was, and helped him win the election.

And DeSantis made it very clear last night that building the wall is one of his top priorities. He points at Trump’s failure to accomplish this as unacceptable, and I agree.
