Battle Lines Being Drawn – Mike Pence Endorses Karrin Robson in Arizona, President Trump Endorses Kari Lake, Dueling Campaign Events Friday

While the ranks of the MAGA rebel alliance continue to grow, it is obvious how the UniParty empire is striking back. On the presidential side of Republican politics, the Wall Street crowd are positioning their candidates:

The open-border GOPe crowd (Koch Inc.) have already put Kristi Noem into play with a book release and well financed marketing team.
The foreign policy interventionist GOPe crowd (AIPAC lobby) are funding Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo respectively.
The GOPe white wine spritzer crowd (inside donor class) are funding the explorations of Mike Pence.
And the GOPe Wall Street hedge funds (political insurance experts and short sellers) are betting other people’s money on Ron DeSantis.

There will likely be other fish, but for now that’s the inside crew being financially fed by those who run the Republican Club. Inside the death star, Decepticon Leader Mitch McConnell and the GOPe beltway control agents have contracted for the 2024 reupholstery of the club’s leather chairs, and the mahogany table is being refinished to remove scratches from the crystal brandy glasses that were slammed and shattered in prior bouts of UniParty frustration.

From the perspective of Republican club control, the MAGA rebellion must be crushed at all costs. Control over the mid-term outcome, which may include the intentional losing of key races in order to ensure full retention of club control, now heads into the championship rounds. Mike Pence will lead the current fight in the battleground of Arizona, where the republican club cannot –and will not– permit the MAGA rebellion to interfere with their larger responsibility for open-borders and cheap labor migration.

There are trillions at stake. [Please note my emphasis below]

Washington Post – PHOENIX — Former vice president Mike Pence is endorsing Arizona gubernatorial candidate Karrin Taylor Robson, a developer who has long been involved in Republican politics, instead of former president Donald Trump’s chosen candidate, Kari Lake.

[…] The endorsement illustrates the division in the party between Trump supporters who value loyalty to him over all else and those who want to move on from endlessly litigating the 2020 election, including those who are grateful that Pence and other Republicans blocked Trump’s attempts to overturn the results. Trump and Pence, who are each thinking about running for president in 2024, both plan to be in Arizona on Friday to campaign for their chosen candidates ahead of an Aug. 2 primary.

Pence called Taylor Robson “the best choice for Arizona’s future” in a statement provided to The Washington Post.” (more)

Well, obviously, because all the best republicans provide advanced notice of intent to The Washington Post. [[ insert massive eyeroll here ]]

Successful republican club politics always involves the illusion of choice.

Republican party candidates, those funded by the various mechanisms that eventually all lead back to Wall Street and the multinational banking and finance interests of the professional donor class, are more akin to Russian matryoshka nesting dolls. Remove the top of one doll and the doll underneath is an exact duplicate, only smaller. Keep removing them and eventually you get to the least visible doll, the one easiest to control, which is the one that all others are created to hide.

Pence is the biggest and most visible DeceptiCon in the republican club’s matryoshka operation.

I suspect Noem and/or DeSantis will be the doll we will find after all the other club masks fall.

You seem a tad obsessed with posting liberal media stories about a political rivalry that does not exist.

Rintintin is Uniparty. Prove me wrong.

You are just flat out a disgusting purveyor of astro-turf.

Why are you posting this, rintintin? A true Trump supporting Macho Man wouldn’t do this. Are you Macho like me and the honorable Trump? Machoism is like Conservatism,MAGAism, and Trumpism......they all go together.

I’m fine with DeSantis but...

The “Trump upset people” folks make me angry.

Weak kneed idiots like them helped turn this country over to Biden, the cartels and the Chicoms. Our economy is in Titanic mode.

And these pu$$ie$ blame Trump for “upsetting” people.

If they get their wish, they will see the media denounce DeSantis and “upset” everyone twice as much as Trump ever did.

In my long lifetime, I have never seen a single republican nominee who they did not say was evil, racist, divisive, corrupt, crazy and a dozen other slurs I can’t even remember.

They HATED every single one of them. You may dislike Romney, but he’s a wimp and they had people convinced he gave people cancer and left them to die.

Don’t fall for it.

You omitted the next sentence, which says something about you and your source: “The incredible video comes amid a round of polling that puts DeSantis within hailing distance of Trump. On Monday, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough argued it’s “pretty obvious” that “Fox News has left the Trump train.”

I like DeSantis but this suddent push from the enemies of MAGA in the mainstream media including Fox News smells like the establishment wants him. Why? I assume they want nothing to do with MAGA so what are we to make of this? Is it just trying to create a civil war in the base?

I choose not to accept the help of the mainstream media. Thanks Fox, I'll decide who I support. And if he's running it's Trump.

These turncoat losers were never MAGA to begin with.

Total schoolyard flaunting and taunting BS.

NeverTrump News hates him more than the DNC does.

Not me.

Florida needs DeSantis. We need TRUMP!!!

DeSantis next.

Then Kari Lake.

DeSantis doesn’t upset people. Also sat out the fight in Wisconsin, didn’t join thr fight in PA, refuses to endorse in Arizona and had sat out the fight. He took no stand in GA and said nothing during the fight in Michigan. Pretty easy to upset no one when you are on the bench. Trump has laid it all out on the line. He’s working nationwide to get the right people elected. Trump is what pushing back looks like (as the late great Rush Limbaugh would say). Of course they don’t fear DeSantis, he’s not fighting the battles.

FOX News is becoming anti-Trump. Better to watch NEWSMAX who’s killing it in favor of great pro-Trump news.

NeoCons pushing DeSantis makes me question the guy even though I generally like him.

It’s a war - expect agitprop in every case from the domestic enemies in the perfumed towers of state media in New York and L.A. - that includes Fox News

Fox has been anti Trump from the start.

You are an idiot.

Yawn...

It’s the Chris Wallace ‘journalists’ leftovers. Wallace should have taken them to CNN with him.

Hey, NeverTrumper shill - it’s Trump 2024 - nodamnbuddy else, got it?

Now go back and finish coloring your book like a good little boy.
