Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene: DeSantis should stay put as governor
The Hill ^ | 11/11/2022 | Jared Gans

Posted on 11/11/2022 9:52:34 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a close ally of former President Trump, says Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) should stay on as governor amid rumors that he could challenge Trump for the GOP nomination in 2024.

Greene did not directly mention DeSantis’s potential interest in a 2024 run in a Twitter thread on Friday but said that losing a “strong Republican governor” early because political consultants are urging them to run for president hurts the country because it leaves their states weak and vulnerable to poor leadership or Democratic control.

You talk about facts, but post suppositions. You THINK maybe McConnell is talking to DeSantis, but you have nothing to back that up. Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t. I’m not inclined to assume.

As far as Trump’s schoolyard name calling on Monday, I already addressed why I think DeSantis ignored it - he was in the last days of his campaign and was focused on pulling as many across the line with him as possible. After that, he had a real job to do, getting the state prepared to deal with Nicole. Appeasing Trump probably was not at the top of his list. And at this point, with Trump attacking him, I can’t see why DeSantis would endorse Trump even if he is not running himself.

You had your facts WRONG.

My suspicion of McDonnell talking to DeSantis is supposition, and was clearly described as such.

The thread records your lack of facts and your misstatements of events.

If DeSantis doesn’t follow Elise’s example TODAY, he is going down because his closet skeletons will be exposed. He will be replaced by a MAGA Governor because FL is blood red now thanks to Trump and MAGA members.

We are doing deep dives on DeSantis. If he’s clean, he should welcome it because a clean bill of health will strengthen him.

Study history of double agents starting with General Gearge Washington. As the British said, Washington didn’t defeat the World’s most powerful army as much as he outspied them, and in so doing, he was always a step ahead of them, he outmanuevered them, and led them into traps with clever lies. Yes, Washington was a master liar to British enemies, but to Amerucan patriots, he was a gentleman of honor.

Importantly, he was informed of who the British double agents were. So he used them without them knowing. He would have his inner ring bring him a double agent, he would smile at them, make them feel extra special and ask if they would be willing to undertake a special mission that risked the entire Continental Army. After receiving affirmation, Washington would dispatch the unwitting double agent with a top secret message for a separate division of the Continental Army. The double agent would travel with the message but stop in to inform his British superiors. When the British would bring their double agent into their presence, they would all laugh together thinking what a fool Washington was. They would open the critical top secret message and read with glee the Intel inside regarding troop strength, number of canon, ammunition stores, troop movements, and more.

But it was all lies. Washington knew the message would be intercepted and planned for it.

Double Agents are a perpetual reality.

McConnell and Schumer both work as political money managers for the same money sources. The money source persons and regimes couldn’t care less whether a political office is R or D.

An establishment candidate is always thinking .....

“How do I get elected? How do I get elected?
How do I get elected? How do I get elected?”

Ad Infinitum.

They think ..... “I’m in a blue state, I need to run as a D. I’m in a purple state, I need to run as a D or R while speaking out of both sides of my mouth. I’m in a red state, I need to run as an R.”

“OH! This red state is full of Trump supporters and MAGA voters. I’m running as an R but I need to do more ..... I need to say I’m MAGA and for now I’ll act like I support Trump until I’m in power and my establishment bosses give me the signal to drop support for Trump.”

Don’t worry, if DeSantis is the real deal, we’ll find out.

I don’t think Liz will run. She is just embarrassing herself at this point. Really sad to watch.

He’s already said he won’t run if Trump announces
—————-
Their world has changed a lot! Trump is attacking, becoming unpopular and possibly indicted while Desantis just throttled a swing state in a landslide and is exponentially growing in popularity.

DeSantis is already termed out after this one, so I certainly hope he will be replaced by a conservative. You think Trump has something on DeSantis that would force him from office? If so, I think you are delusional. If Trump had something that negative on DeSantis and Trump is taking credit for DeSantis being elected, then that would seem to make Trump either stupid or corrupt.

It was only an allusion.   I didn't state that Governor DeSantis would be an Alpha Knight.

But now that you brought it up we have had any number of Knights in The United States.

The Order of American Knights was also known as the Sons of Liberty.

Grand Encampment of Knights Templar, U.S.A.
Paul Revere became a Royal Arch Mason and Knight Templar on December 11, 1769

Knights of Columbus

the autonomous Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem a modern Christian Order of Knighthood

Knights of the Golden Circle (yeah, those guys)

American citizens with honorary British knighthoods and damehoods

ORDER OF KNIGHTS OF AMERICA. The Order of Knights of America, or Orden Caballeros de America, was a civic organization founded in 1927 in San Antonio.

The United States Army Parachute Team, The Golden Knights

The Knights of Labor was the largest and most extensive association of workers in 19th century America.

The Order of Malta® American Association commonly known as the Order of Malta or Knights of Malta

So, a great number of Knights but no royalty as you say.

Hey lo iq, it was to show your effeminacy that the lefty media was pumping your DeStupid to be the 2024 GOP blowjob, which you swallowed hook, line, and sinker.

You and The Atlantic are in the same nudist colony parading around your lack of stones.

Ok. Yahoo was referencing Vanity Fair.

Both Yahoo and Vanity Fair are the rotten bottom of the barrel, same level as CNN. You don’t want to use them as a source for anything.

Educate yourself and your friends and family when you have an hour by watching the following:

https://rumble.com/vmyx1n-monopoly-who-owns-the-world-documentary-by-tim-gielen.html

It will show you the cable satellite media brands are all owned by the same snakes.

ROFL, you are reduced to silly schoolyard insults and homophobic slurs because you can’t back up any of your rants with facts, and you question my IQ... Since you obviously have nothing reasoned, logical or intelligent to add to the conversation, you can run along and rewatch all Trump’s rallies - maybe that will make you feel better about yourself. You’re not worth any more of my time.

Trump is running in '24. Desantis will get crushed if he tries to go against Trump.

You will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.

Get used to the idea.

Where else are you going to go?
