True but this was not PAC money. It was small donor money. Impressive amount regardless of spin on here.
Oh his rich friends got huge tax breaks that were permanent. Then he said, “Opps. We need to give the middle class a break. Let’s give them a crumb with a sunset of 2026.”
Where is it coming from? That’s what’s important.
Ron was scheduled to have a kickoff event in his hometown in Florida next week---
Talk about sad ---- His campaign has cancelled the event.
“Please clap”.
Jeb Jeb was a fantastic fundraiser too.

He may be taking a page from the Biden 2020 campaign, but, because of the high water table in FL, they’re aren’t many basements.
I was interested in this. Ordinarily I would shrug it off, but under current circumstances if a person wants to claim the opposite, they best be prepared.
Agreed. It's silly season again at FR. Will be worse than Ford vs Chevy/Yook slavs vs Russ slavs/1911 vs Glock/Country vs Rock...
I stand by the prediction that we will unify next August or so behind whomever has won the primaries. I still think Trump will win bigly.
I don't trust Trump to make good hiring decisions anymore, but I don't trust DeSantis given whom he's surrounding himself with either.
Still lightyears better than a demoncrap.
I don’t think DeSantis told Trump anything of the kind. Trump heard it through the political grapevine longer ago than people may think.
I thought it was clever - Trump gets his donations from grass-roots donors - any bets who was behind Ron’s haul?
That said, I have mixed feelings about DeSantis throwing his hat into the ring. I'm not surprised, but I find the work he has done here in Florida to be without peer and would love it to continue.
Donald Trump has gotten my vote twice already, and will again should he be the Republican nominee. Trump says he's ready for a fight, and if by some miracle the DNC vote-fraud machine doesn't work as well as it has been in 2020 and 2022 and he actually regains the Presidency, he is going to get one. The Deep State will only continue to ratchet up its subversion tactics, agitprop, character assassination and calls to violent uprising. But Donald Trump says he's ready to go and I can only hope by now that he is fully aware of what he is up against. They will kill him if they can get away with it.
Well, to be honest, almost a million people trying to log in all at once helped a bit.
And while I'm surprised that Twitter wasn't properly prepared for this, is is indicative of the level of interest Ron DeSantis has generated.
Once again, we let Democrats, the media and Trump define the terms of the debate... and the next day, when it turns out they were lying, we’ve already lost the argument.
Another great post by Joe Bower. He’s one of the best here, or anywhere, no doubt.
And I felt exactly like Joe does now, back in Jan/Feb of this year. Since then, I’ve seen an ugly side of Trump that makes we wonder if there’s ever going to be anything good ever come from him again. Yes, he’s been unfairly persecuted in many ways, but in many others, he’s made this bed himself, and I don’t trust him one iota on some of our biggest issues like budget control, vax injections and the homo/trans agenda.
That doesn’t mean I won’t vote for him if I am faced with the choice of either him or Biden (with Harris waiting in the wings as VP), but my expectations and enthusiasm for him are at McCain/Romney like levels at this point. It’s so bad that if RFK Jr somehow got the D nomination, I’d probably at least investigate the option, and I’ve never voted for a D before in my life (and probably never will, so sitting out is an option as well). But if Trump still can’t see the need to fire Chris Wray, as he admitted to Sean Hannity a couple of weeks ago, for example, what real difference is there anyway.
He’s trying to appeal to younger conservatives. Baby Boomers are dying off, and they were a big part of the Republican constituency. My Millenial children admire Elon Musk’s accomplishments.
DeSantis is thinking about the future while Trump is still wallowing in 2020.
These are small individual contributions, not big donors as the article clearly states.
There is more than just smoke.......... the fire is real
“I think...” And that’s the problem. You are emoting based on pre-conceived ideas about DeSantis instead of educating yourself. The article says otherwise. This was from small donors. Why do Trump followers keep lying even once they’re proven wrong?
If you have to lie about the other guy to promote your guy maybe there’s a problem with your guy.
