The ad placements, worth at least $540,000 according to media-tracking company AdImpact, were reserved Monday by a Super PAC called Fight Right Inc. Last week, a nonprofit with the same name was registered by a Tallahassee-based treasurer, according to Federal Election Commission and Florida state records.

The Florida nonprofit listed three directors, all with ties to the Florida governor: David Dewhirst, a senior adviser in the governor’s office, according to his LinkedIn; Jeff Aaron, a DeSantis appointee and a lawyer who incorporated the nonprofit; and Scott Ross, a managing partner at Capital City Consulting, a lobbying firm closely aligned to DeSantis.

So a new superpac appears out of nowhere, to fund desanctimonious....

I wondered how much of this is filtered from the $19-32 million in state taxpayer money that was allocated for evacuating people from Israel.

He’s not fiscally responsible and wastes money on dead end projects.

Good. Trump needs to make DeSantis burn up cash in Iowa.

DeSantis has to win Iowa, if he doesn’t win Iowa he’s toast.

All that money down the drain. Even the people in Florida are getting sick of this guy and his political stunts. There’s no rational reason for him to continue his campaign unless he thinks the deep state will somehow manage to stop Trump.

At this point, it seems clear that DeSantis is NOT in the fight to win the nomination. His mission is similar to Christie’s: to take down Trump for the general election.

The Never Trumpers and Uniparty prefers Bidung or whoever the Dems put up.

“There’s no rational reason for him to continue his campaign”.

At his age, Trump could end up with some disabling condition. SOMEBODY acceptable to Conservativism has to carry the torch.
