No less than four threads on Free Republic allege that Governor DeSantis has received an endorsement from George Soros.
Almost all reference a 0:47 video that has been making the rounds on social media.
Here's the complete 2:41 video, transcribed by myself.
First, he cut their taxes. Second, he nominated to the Supreme Court ideologues who embraced an extreme version of the Republican agenda. Third, he put the Republican Party under his control by threatening those who didn't swear loyalty to him with a challenge in the primaries. Lastly, he encouraged Republican-controlled states to introduce outrageous measures of voter suppression to ensure that his party would remain in power indefinitely. With that program, he was almost re-elected in 2020. My hope for 2024 is that Trump and Governor DeSantis of Florida will slug it out for the Republican nomination. Trump has turned into a pitiful figure, continually bemoaning his loss in 2020. Big Republican donors are abandoning him in droves. DeSantis is shrewd, ruthless, and ambitious. He's likely to be the Republican candidate. This could induce Trump, whose narcissism has turned into a disease, to run as a third party candidate. That would lead to a Democratic landslide and force the Republican party to reform itself. But perhaps I may be just a little bit biased." "Trump attracted a lot of non-educated, white followers but his biggest backers were the mega-rich, and he certainly delivered for them.
Soros hopes that DeSantis wins the primary, Trump mounts a third party challenge, and the Republican Party, in its current form, is destroyed.
Not exactly a glowing endorsement.
Great summary, thanks!
Have said this before, of the fiftyish people in our core circle of friends and family not one wants DJT to win the primaries and be the nominee again
These are people who passionately supported him and collectively raised millions via pacs and such for both his 2016 and 2020
it’s quite amusing when ppl call us never trumpers considering what we did as opposed to posting shit on web forums and social media
If Soros wants DeSantis, there could be no clearer sign that backing DeSantis is a mistake. Ron DeSantis winning the primary is what Soros wants and I believe that, because it will divide the party. I don’t think that Soros wants either Trump or DeSantis to win the in 2024, but DeSantis running and winning the primary is part of Soros’ plan to defeat us.
You’ve given up on keeping us informed with new threads regarding the dangers of the vaccines? I’ve figured those supporting Trump would eventually lose interest, just wasn’t expecting it would be this quick. I’ve tried to post a few such as the new mandate for children but have definitely missed yours.
Perfect! Watson is great.
Trump is a 5-time loser.
DeSantis is a PROVEN conservative leader.
Good luck
about like being endorsed by Bergoglio I guess
So what you find unlikely can only be embraced by morons? lol
Haven’t given up posting about the vaccine. Other FReepers are ahead of me when I check FR to see if the article is already posted. Grey_whiskers is quickest on the draw.
Maybe Soros is signaling that he likes DeSantis, so Republicans will vote against DeSantis in the primaries.
You're delusional.
Soros believes DeSantis will win but wants DeSantis to win only on the condition that Trump takes 30-40 million voters on a quixotic third party crusade, opening the path to a Democrat landslide victory.
Of note, Soros isn't really worried that Trump might win the primary. He knows Trump will get destroyed in the general election.
And…you don’t come on forums and bully people. Imagine that! Ha ha. There is hope for the world after all.
Thanks. I was wondering if it was actually outside if the clip you showed, because none of it by itself told me Soros really wants DeSantis, “endorsing” him.
Boy, is that way off.
I’m talking about new threads for everyone, not posts in the sideline thread. You used to post them all the time, and the frequency of available things to post is arguably at an all time high. I’m just worried that Trump’s influence over people as the primary heats up will lead to the issue dying off, not just here but everywhere, which would be horrible.
That's the "head fake" conspiracy being presented by some but there's nothing in any comment that George Soros has ever made, now or in the past, and certainly not in this video, to indicate that he has ever liked Ron DeSantis.
If he endorses him, it’s because he wants this to happen: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4131823/posts
“George Soros “endorsement” of Ron DeSantis (The full video)”
Yep, rules out DeSantis as far as I’m concerned. I don’t want ANYONE that Soros plays up.
And how, pray tell, is Soros "playing up" DeSantis? Calling his shrewd, ruthless, and ambitious?
