As for Ron DeSantis, Griffin doesn’t understand the strategy of the Florida governor’s presidential campaign and takes issue with the battle being waged with Disney.
Billionaire and Citadel CEO Ken Griffin, a major Republican donor, says he is sitting on the sidelines of the GOP presidential primary and not supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who he backed in 2022.
Griffin is not impressed with what he’s seeing from the alternatives to frontrunner Donald Trump and has yet to decide who he plans to help, he said in an interview with CNBC’s Sara Eisen set to air Monday at 8:00 p.m. ET.
“So we’re-- we’re now through the first debate. And I’ll tell you what, I’m still on the sidelines as to who to support in this election cycle. I’m still on the sidelines,” Griffin said. “Look, if I had my dream, we’d have a great Republican candidate in the primary who was younger, of a different generation, with a different tone for America. And we’d have a younger person on the Democratic side in the primary who would have his message for our country. And we’d have a debate around ideas and principles and policies to make this a great nation. We’re not having that dialogue right now.”

The economy is worse, partly due to Trump, partly to Biden. The culture is worse. No leadership on that from Trump. The border is worse, with horrible security. He was not able to permanently change anything down there. Not sure why all that is appealing to you, but you’re right, strong leadership, the Constitution, conservative values, and moral decency aren’t popular right now. I was just wondering why this site claims to be for those things when it seems to just be a pro-Trump site.
I think of it as one man one vote - which is equality. Same concept for donations, the billionaire has millions more influence than I do, it should be equal.
I think the government should not decide how much I can spend on a candidate
The economy sung under Trump. Biden reversed all the policies that created the economic boom so you blame Trump. Trump couldn’t permanently change the border situation! What human being could?
Pull the other one.
Biden sent printed fliers promising freebies, opened the border and give mega handouts and you blame Trump. Get a life, take up coding because as a political analyst you are a failure.
Your moral compass is on the fritz too. Trump has been the most committed pro-life POTUS in 50 years, accomplished the most to save babies, promote freedom of religion but by you he is immoral.
Trump kept his promises to America by herculean efforts with everyone fighting and undermining him. He has pledged to keep men out of women’s bathrooms, dressing rooms and sports with legislation & by executive order if necessary but that’s not enough for you. You will twist and lie, do anything to attack Trump.
If you can’t see the decency in a man who takes on all the evil forces ganging up on America, takes no salary and works for every American to return America to equal justice, opportunity for all to work for their dreams, removing red tape returning power to the states, economic independence, school choice, taking care of our vets, police and the military than your definition of morality is idiosyncratic & sadly lacking.
Well there they are, the essential positions of Meatball Rob, positions that have delivered him a 9% approval rating along with a mass exit of his key donors. But don't be too disappointed. I'm sure another Neocon sellout will receive the Murdoch seal of approval soon. I'm putting my money on the Indian chick from South Carolina. As far as why FR is a Trump forum? It's probably reflective of the overwealming support Trump has as a candidate and former president with a proven track record of success. This, as opposed to the bum-of-the-month Club you principled CONservatives keep rolling out :)
BTTT
Is this a conservative site, as described on the home page, or a Trump site? DeSantis has proven to be conservative through his policies, and Trump has proven he’s still a Democrat. If it’s a Trump site, just own that.

One thing for sure...it’s not a site for trolls like you. Move along son...move along. Your KoS is showing.
