Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Wins Coveted Paul Ryan Endorsement for 2024

Folks, I’m not trying to bust on Ron DeSantis, I’m just highlighting the dynamic in the background to include the political players and deep connected GOP club operatives.  If the truth makes me a critic, then so be it; but I’m not going to play the pretending game.  Quite frankly, I’m tired of it.

Ron DeSantis is backed by the same assembly of political insiders, donors, corporations and financial backers that supported Jeb Bush.  The professionally republican class know what they have in DeSantis, and he is brand organized, packaged & managed to deliver on their intents.

Former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan is as dialed in to the GOP club system as it gets.  Ryan’s brass nameplate is rivetted to one of the select mahogany chairs at the club table.

Speaking Wednesday at the Robin Hood conference before billionaires Steve Cohen and Paul Tudor Jones went on stage, Paul Ryan noted the GOP 2024 nominee will be “someone other than Donald Trump.”

According to a recording of his talk, Ryan named Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott as his three favorites. {source} DeSantis fighting Disney was “really good for him, from a political perspective,” Ryan said.

DeSantis didn’t raise $200+ million, with 94% coming from billionaires and multinational corporations, for a gubernatorial reelection race in Florida.  Keep in mind all of the major expenses (television ads, mailers, etc.) are coming from outside PACs and affiliated groups.

DeSantis has raised a massive war chest and he is not spending it.   He has willingly accepted the positioning for a 2024 nomination effort.  It is intellectually dishonest not to see what the Club is doing.

The DNC Club is doing the same thing with California Governor Gavin Newsom.

The both wings of the UniParty want a Newsom -vs- DeSantis contest.

The professional political approach is as clear now in 2022 as it was in 2014 when the clubs were organizing the Hillary -vs- Jeb contest for 2016.

I agree! Ryan is a snake. Trying to pull votes away from DT won’t work.

You said it better than I did! Thanks!

Ryan actually lost the VP debate vs Brandon back ten years ago. He’s such a loser.

“...author intimating that DeSantis is bought and paid for? Seems like quite a stretch.”

Yes, it certainly does; it’s a left-handed smear campaign against DeSantis, if you ask me, the Establishment essentially trying to TELL him, “You’ll run in ‘24 or else.”

And that whole “coveted” BS ... “coveted” by who?

CERTAINLY NOT DeSantis! He’s head down over his chess board in FL locking down the Governor’s chair, and I — among MANY — am growing quite impatient with these never-Trump ninnies constantly braying, like the closet Democrats they are, about a DeSantis 2024 run at the Oval Office.

It’s NOT gonna happen! Whether he’s out-and-out SAID it, or not, IS NOT THE POINT! THE POINT is that he IS NOT positioning himself to execute on that strategy; his political “body language,” if you will, exhibits an unswerving intent to Govern Florida for another four years.

All this other is just a never-Trumper political wet dream.

AAANNNDDD....

...for those creaming their shorts over the notion of a DeSantis/Newsome battle in ‘24, well... you morons can shut off the politi-porn, and go get fresh undies ‘cuz Gavin Newsome himself JUST threw all of his weight behind another four years as Governor of CA.

Hapless, hopeless, half-witted, haters of Trump need to go jump in a lake — falling temperatures be damned, and wake up to Reality: Trump remains WILDLY POPULAR, continues to GROW is ranks of supporters, is the Presumed GOP Nominee for 2024, has ZERO CREDIBLE competition, and — to the delight of all fans of the American Constitutional Republic — frequently and mightily chafes and chaps the asses of his detractors even as he dominates his rent-free accommodations inside their skulls.
