Bribing people for support often works in politics with relative unknowns, but Trump voters, like myself, already have their minds made up.

This is an attack on Christianity not on Desantis.

Trump did not attend last month’s event in Des Moines. That was Trump’s
loss, Vander Plaats said in a post on the messaging platform X, formerly
known as Twitter. He added that it “becomes more clear...people want to
turn the page.”

And? Isn’t that what campaign funds are for, campaigning? If Trump paid some group or other similarly, would you post that article? Meanwhile, Trump is using his leadership PAC money to pay his legal fees. The problem is that a candidate’s leadership PAC money can only be used for other candidates, not for himself or for his own campaign. Save America wants it’s 60 million back.

If anyone wants to directly help Pres. Trump with his legal fees, Patriot Legal Defense Fund, Inc. ( http://patriotlegaldefensefund.com/ ) is specifically and legally set up for that. Let’s keep him out of FEC trouble if we can. Of course, vet the organization to make sure it’s a good one.

If people are unwilling to support your message,
you have to find some who will support you for the
right incentive.

It becomes easier each day to discern which politicians buy and sell in the name of Jesus…. And some posters are the devil’s handmaidens.. the ignorance displayed and complete distortions demonstrated exposes depraved lunatics. Some call this principal conservatism…. Snicker..

Who knew how cheaply some evangelicals would go for!

Who woulda known that it takes less than 100k to get the local power-brokers in-line. Trump could have out-bid that one. Now we know why Vander Plaats and Steve Deace are suddenly ignoring the stolen election retribution and endorsing the establishment-backed-loser Desantis.

This is fake created news. It is normal.

I thought it was illegal for a PAC to coordinate with the campaign. Looks like it did coordinate here though.

I guess my reaction is so what? He bought some advertisements and some event tickets.
