Regardless, I look forward to them batting around ideas.

Newsom needs to be challenged in a big way from the right, and DeSantis has the skills to do it.

Brings back memories of Cruz naming Carly Fiorino his running mate in the waning days of his 2016 campaign.

>>”Newsome is very bold, brave. Rats rarely, if ever, have thr deck stacked against them but Gavin V Desanctimonius and Hannity I’d pretty stacked.”
Yes, I’ll give him credit for that. I won’t give him credit for much else, but credit where credit is due.

Just a short follow-up for those who are following along. Those who control the strings on the corporate puppets have gone beyond showing the visible strings; we the audience are now easily able to see their hands.
In the latest Politico article, citing the potential debate between Governor Gavin Newsom and Governor Ron DeSantis, you will note the following:

Yes, the commonality for the venue is Georgia.
It was always going to be thus, because this nonsense is following a script. Perhaps now you see why I wrote this entire article about how Georgia plays a key role in the 2024 election {GO DEEP}, and subsequently predicted the venue for the insufferable pantomime would be… wait for it, Georgia {SEE HERE}.
Politico, again playing the role of usher for the audience as they prepare the stage, then does a follow-up article, snarking at DeSantis:
[…] The two sides’ proposed rules detail a number of similarities. They both agree on Hannity being the lone moderator, a 90-minute run time, equally divided speaking time and two minutes of closing statements. Between the two governors’ proposals, Nov. 8 is the only date in common, while Georgia is the only location in common. (link)
Quite frankly, all of this pretending is starting to become rather tiresome.
The entire right side of the conservative political punditry are pretending they have no idea what is happening in the 2024 election, as if they are still pretending Ron DeSantis was on a “book tour.”
- Sean Hannity,
- Laura Ingraham,
- Glenn Beck,
- National Review,
- Ben Shapiro,
- Dave Ruben,
- The Blaze,
- The Daily Wire,
- TownHall,
- The Washington Free Beacon,
- Clay Travis,
- Western Journal,
- Newsmax,
- Buck Sexton,
- Legal Insurrection,
- the entire network of right-side alternative media,
all of them, acting as ushers toward a grand pretending performance that is built around bulls**t.
When the internet shadow-banning system is triggered later this year, all of the above will remain visible and supported by the regime.
Remember that; these outlets/voices are deemed not a threat to ‘national security.’
Only the non-pretending outlets, platforms and voices are going to be targeted. More on that later.
*****

Those who control the illusion of choice have to proceed with the planning as if the objective to remove candidate Donald Trump will succeed.
That sets up Joe Biden to announce withdrawal due to medical issues.
The state they will choose for this Newsom -v- DeSantis debate venue is easy, Georgia.
Nothing is a coincidence.
Throughout our analysis of the preferred ’24 outcome, by those in the background who ultimately seek to control elections through the activity of front men, those artfully skilled at presenting the illusion of choice, it has always looked like the RNC/DNC preferred presentation was a Ron DeSantis -v- Gavin Newsom (win/win) contest.
The landscape of the ’24 election would then be reduced to “social issues” as distinctions between the two faces of the contest, while the economics of things – the substantive part – carries a far lesser contrast. An almost identical replay to the attempted 2016 construct of Hillary -v- Jeb.
In 2016, the RNC/DNC corporations wanted a Hillary v Jeb matchup. That was the outcome of both corporate intents, and all processes were deployed to create that outcome.
For 2024, it became obvious last year the corporations wanted a Newsom v DeSantis contest. In that matchup the people who control the financial mechanisms can maintain their status quo. The billionaire funders for DeSantis, RGA/RNC would be quite okay with a Newsom outcome.
We told you this was going to be very ugly, and it is unfolding exactly as we would expect.
It will get worse, much worse.
The key to defeating these Machiavellian constructs is to pour sunlight upon them.

You all spend a lot of animus here trying to boost RDS over Trump.
The RDS campaign has done nothing but drive his well deserved popularity as Fla gov down. They have done a terrible job.
It's time for him to return to being a good governor, rally his supporters in helping defeat Biden instead of listening to his horrid RINO advisors. They have done him no favors, and will be his end.
If he doesn't do that soon, he won't just lose in a landslide primary, he'll lose support of floridians. Who are already flocking to Trump.
You do him no favor by supporting this kamikaze run that will destroy him if he continues.

Trump has no chance of winning the general election. He may have a small core of fanatical supporters, but outside of that he is the most disliked politician of the 21st century. And it’s not hard to figure out why, he revels in insulting people, even people who were loyal to him at one point. There’s just not a lot to like about him, unless you like rich, smart ass, a-holes. But some people clearly do.
I have some family members who are still bonkers over him. But the smarter ones in my family, as in the ones who have been more successful in their business life, and actually spend time in church, think he’s a pathetic joke. Nothing but an attention seeking wise guy. The kind that always flame out in the end, just as we’re seeing.
I like DeSantis as a person. His meager upbringing His commitment to making America better for his children. His military service. I like his motto of “Bring Sanity Back.” This is a turbulent time for the world, and we need someone can carefully analyze new situations, and strategically respond, not some shock jock type like who constantly does outlandish things because they will bring him more attention.
If you want to vote for chaos and crudeness, then vote for Trump. Looks like a lot of people are, because it makes them feel like a rebel against the government. But chaos and crudeness is rarely a good way to actually get things done. If you want to get things done, you have to have a plan, you have to be organized, and you have to work with other people, not just insult them all the time as if you’re the end all, be all. Cause no one is, on their own, not even billionaires.

Ask Newsome is he pro or con poo on the sidewalks and other public areas by homeless drug addicts? And is that his plan for America?

Any loss in DeSantis popularity is the BS by always Trump folks, but he’ll pull through that as there are still 161 days until the first caucuses and primaries.

(DeSantis 2024. Successful Governor, Honorable Veteran, Respectful, Respected.)
To: Golden Eagle
Most of what you wrote is hyperbole at best, but mostly untruthful
1. If Trump can't win, RDS would get slaughtered, Simple math.
2. His suupport isn't small, it's quite large
3. He is the most disliked politician by the left. That is truth.
4. I don't love all his insults, just most of them. Most are deserved.
5. I was a very successful business guy, and go to church.
6. I liked RDS. For that reason he needs to go back and regain what he had.
7. Voting for Trump is to beat the left, he's our best shot. He's way beyond chaos and crudeness. He's competent, and way beyond the capacity of RDS. Uniting behind him will be important. I hope you come to realize that sooner than later.

To: Lakeshark
I’ll most likely vote for Trump if he wins the primary, unless he does something else completely stupid, like call for an actual revolution, which can’t be ruled out. But most Americans are more willing to vote for a dementia patient, who is at least somewhat stable, than a WWE wresting act. That’s as far as a lot of people are willing to get into politics. Trump was able to beat Hillary because many saw her as a smart ass bitch herself.
Like I said, vote for Trump if you like someone constantly slinging insults, even at our own side at least half the time, if that makes you feel good. I’m not supporting that, because as we saw in the ending of his first term, it usually ends just making things worse. Most of the things he promised, have gone the opposite direction, 100x worse.
- Drain the swamp = Trump appointing swamp creatures himself
- Build the wall = No wall and worse migrant crisis ever
- Lock her up = Trump now in line for jail instead
- Balance the budget = Raised debt more than any President ever
DeSantis deserves a shot because Trump is just digging a hole. One that’s probably going to get deeper when we get swept out of Congress thanks to him too.

vote for Trump if you like someone constantly slinging insultsOff kilter quote here. And incorrect. His signature as President was a great economy in a country that he helped make energy self-sufficient. He exposed the media as the frauds they are. Exposed the left as the Stalinists they are. Had the border sealed, had trade issues on track. No wars. All that, and more while most of his mean tweets were highly justified, and on track.
You should stop your Trump is bad because he says mean things schtick.
It doesn't help to parrot leftist talking points.
