Never Trumper Sarah Longwell: Republican Voters Have Soured on DeSantis, They Don’t Even Mention His Name
Breitbart ^ | Aug 13, 2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 08/13/2023 7:44:12 PM PDT by backpacker_c

Founder of Republican Voters Against Trump Sarah Longwell said Sunday on CNN’s “Inside Politics” that 2024 hopeful Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) was not even being mentioned by Republican voters as someone they want to win the presidential nomination.

Longwell said, “I have to tell you, he has been getting killed in the focus groups, and it’s not even that kind of criticism. We always ask people who do you want to see be the 2024 nominee. And six months ago, Ron DeSantis, he would always come up. He was the first one. If it wasn’t Trump, it was him. People don’t even mention him right now. We’ve had two groups in a row where nobody’s even said his name.

Premature election.

There is still a good chance he can recover for 28, but needs to get rid of present advisors.

Sarah Longwell is both never-Trump and never-DeSantis.

[Sarah Longwell, a Trump critic who leads the Republican Accountability Project, said she’s for “anybody but Trump” in 2024, but she’s not necessarily excited about DeSantis.

“I hope there is a robust Republican primary,” Longwell said. “I certainly want every Republican to run against Trump. But I also think the Republican Party can and should do better than a cheap imitation of Trump, which is what I think Ron DeSantis is.”]


The Republican Accountability Project is just a Democrat front group. Its spending was entirely for Democrats and against Republicans. Open Secrets classified this Democrat PAC liberal:

Basically, Sarah Longwell is a grifter whose current meal ticket consists of shilling for the Democrat party. The way the media categorizes these things is that a nominal Democrat who switches parties becomes a Republican forever, whereas a nominal Republican who switches is always a Republican, who just happens to vote Democrat. So you get these “Republicans” on talk shows who are really rabid Democrats who have either converted or were always Republicans-for-pay earlier in their careers.

Since you’ve shown your comments have little veracity or credability, I don’t care what you say....

BTW...

Longwell, along with Charlie Sykes, and Bill Kristol founded the bulwark...

Not dem, but nevertrump.

Zhang Fei is much closer to the truth than you are. Longwell and Bill Kristol are both rat moles.

Yes, I do. I mention that he should stay put in Florida, and not try to run for president.

"who’s Desantis?"

He's they guy who used the Republican majority in the Florida State Legislature to make sure all his travel records past and future, can't be accessed by the people who pay for it. And, he obviously didn't have much faith in winning in the primaries, since he saw fit to use the same State Legislature to change the law to benefit himself politically, and monetarily, so he wouldn't have to resign to run for President, can continue getting a pay check from the same people who pay for his travel expenses, and finally, so he'd have a job to go crawling back to when he crashes and burns.

What do you call a politician that travels from state to state on billionaires cash... what is the difference in them and Sarah Longwell?

[What do you call a politician that travels from state to state on billionaires cash... what is the difference in them and Sarah Longwell? ]


That’s what Trump did before billionaires saw him for the conman he is.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/feb/10/sheldon-adelson-trump-donation-republicans-congress
[The billionaire casino owner Sheldon Adelson, an ardent pro-Israel conservative, is expected to donate at least $100m to boost Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election efforts and Republican congressional candidates this fall, say three Republican fundraisers familiar with Adelson’s initial plans.]

The difference between Trump and DeSantis is DeSantis doesn’t cater to billionaire whims. DeSantis went after Bud Light and Disney. Trump criticized DeSantis for doing so. Ultimately, as a billionaire, Trump caters to billionaire interests. That’s why he failed to build the wall and tried to force a DACA amnesty through, only to be rebuffed by the GOP base.

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/09/trump-embraces-amnesty/539790/
[Last week, Trump struck a deal with Pelosi, the House Democratic leader, and Schumer, her Senate counterpart, on disaster relief, the debt ceiling, and government funding, over Republican objections. Democrats hoped, and Republicans feared, that would be a prelude to a deal on DACA favorable to Democrats. And after a dinner meeting Wednesday, it seemed those expectations had been realized. In a statement, Schumer and Pelosi said, “We agreed to enshrine the protections of DACA into law very quickly, and to work out a package of border security, excluding the wall, that’s acceptable to both sides.”]

The principal reason billionaires aren’t donating to Trump today, despite his slavish deference to their open-borders philosophy, and his indifference to gay indoctrination and genital mutilation for minors? Even in 2020, when his approval ratings were higher, they avoided funding his campaign because they could smell the stink of defeat a mile away. Today, when failure positively permeates every move he makes, they sure won’t be stepping up.

Candidate Trump did not need the billionaires ... He put up his own money ... I gag at the cheap immoral methodology used to accuse others of doing and being exactly what they are ... Trans-Republicans, that care not one wit about the average American ...

The gov is using the ‘law’ business for his own self serving purpose, just like Joe Biden and the cray cray Cruz bots say Amen... It is now ‘conservative’ to use a State legislature to hide the Governor's travel ... wow, how far have the sanctimonious fallen...

Seriously ... DEE-Saintis the Roman Catholic is the last one on God's Green (cough, cough) Earth to be projecting about gay indoctrination ... Where were you when the newly smoked pappy Francis pointed his unholy finger and preached ‘judge not’ ...?

Has DEE-Saintis left the Roman Catholic church yet... stop playing the holier than thou games they are full of moth eaten holes.

For a few weeks, I got called a dangerous ONLY Trumper right here on the Ol’Freep machine.

It’s ok, I forgive the Des-Natis people, they’re ready to jump off the maga train as soon as the coast is clear.

Only problem is, the Dems have weaponized every so much, jumping off MAGA is like out of the frying pan....into the fire!

They’ll still be targeted by the left, because....the left is crazy and violent.
