Top DeSantis Ally Threatens to Tank Trump in General Election, Help Biden Win

Bill Mitchell, a prominent pro-Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) online influencer, threatened to tank former President Donald Trump and help President Joe Biden in the general election.

Mitchell took to Twitter to lay out his new “plan” to prevent Trump from winning the general election, should he win the Republican Party’s presidential nomination.

“Here’s the plan. If Trump keeps being a prick to DeSantis and wins the nomination, DeSantis supporters should organize to write in DeSantis in the General. We’ll vote straight red down ballot to make sure we control Congress to keep Biden in check for 4 more years,” Mitchell wrote. “But Trump will NEVER be president again.”

Here's the plan.

If Trump keeps being a prick to DeSantis and wins the nomination, DeSantis supporters should organize to write in DeSantis in the General. We'll vote straight red down ballot to make sure we control Congress to keep Biden in check for 4 more years.

But Trump…

Mitchell backtracked on his previous pledge to support any Republican who secured the nomination.

“I thought you said before that you would support any candidate that wins the nomination,” one user replied.

“I changed my mind,” Mitchell responded.

Mitchell grew his online platform in 2016 by being one of the most vocal Trump supporters. However, he made headlines at the beginning of the year when he announced his support for DeSantis over Trump.

Mitchell’s plan to thwart Trump in the general election appears to be aligned with his pledge to “work with every ounce of my being to help Gov. DeSantis win the nomination and the presidency,” as he claimed when he announced his support for the Florida governor.

Didn’t R’s pick up seats in 2020?

Almost like the data showed Republicans did better down ballot..

Or put another way, Biden and all his record breaking votes didn’t help other D’s down ballot.

Like the only race that mattered to those ‘voters’ was Biden..

But I could be misremembering..

not one desantis reporter is truly pro desantis.
they are all simply ANTI Maga, whoever its leader (Donald Trump) or leadership might be.

If for any reason trump decided to NOT TAKE the position of being the republican party nominee, and any other person dared to step up and take that role, as full MAGA... they would vote for Biden in the election...

Their goals are unified to stop Trump, MAGA and destroy a sovereign America. This is critical to enable their one world government takeover plan.

if they were to stop trump, diminish maga and takeover the government more fully they get much closer to doing their dirty deeds. If the people revolt and america elects maga there will likely be internal CW2 type events (anti fah riots like). They degrade and diminish the nation thus they still get their way.

there is no downside to their strategy at this point.
so they intend to escalate, escalate escalate.. and if at any point things for them start looking bad, they will likely have their foreign political and financial allies kinetically attack the USA bot at home or abroad. We all know their storm troopers by the millions have already crossed the border into this land by way of the uniparty.

I expect kinetic war with iran, china or other bad actors before the election especially if it starts looking like Trump and MAGA are on track to win at state, federal or local levels, this would include congressional bodies, senate leadership changes or executive branches... even if it was only several blue to red shifts of city leadership in our coastal cities.

It’s about Build the Wall, Drain the Swamp and America First In All Things. When I say those three things, no one thinks about any other candidate but Trump

I do. Trump is 77 years old. There'd better be a future for conservatives and hope for a border wall beyond Trump. Closing our eyes, covering our ears and chanting "Trump or nothing" is not the answer.

BTTT

i am too civilized to Ping the annoying Never Trump Freepers. Anyone less civilized?

[delchiante]

Trump getting spied on by your nation when he announced I 2015 has had consequences..

That’s why there’s a lot of Trump or nothing.

Trump is public enemy number one to the swamp.
His supporters are public enemy number two

Your mileage can vary

Top DeSantis Ally = The Mouse That Roared

[backpacker_c]

Nope.

There is no way desanctimonious could win the primary, with his current polling and support.

So, if going into the primary, and Trump is in the 50-60% range, while desantis is aroun 10%...

And desantis wins....

Would anyone really believe desantis won in a legitimate election?

Yet, the desantis supporters/nevertrumpers are still pushing Trump supporters still have to vote for desanctimonious, in this case?

yeah..... nope.

So much for the pledge they want DJT to give! Tell these career politicians to go BLOW!

No, you don’t. No one else TODAY is associated with those principles of populism. It is the redefinition of conservatism.

If you are well-known from a career in politics, you are disqualified. That will remain so after Trump, too.

You KNOW what Creepy Joe was talking about when he mentioned the poor child’s crossed lbegs, don’t you???

Don't remember that at all. What the reference?

“I thought you said before that you would support any candidate that wins the nomination,” one user replied. “I changed my mind,” Mitchell responded.

This and the oft repeated line of "I voted for Trump twice but never again" has always been part of the big "only DeSantis can win" lie.

If Trump runs third party the GOP will experience a real blood bath across the country. They will lose elections where it hasn’t happened in decades.

Would anyone really believe desantis won in a legitimate election?

At this same point in 2015 - over a year before the 2016 election, just as we are now over a year before the 2024 election, Trump was polling 12% in the Republican race, trailing Jeb Bush. As we all know, he went on to win the nomination.

Things can change fast in presidential primary politics. Let's see where we are when the primaries begin and end. I'll vote for whoever the Republican primaries end up nominating - anyone who would willingly let Biden and his cronies remain in office rather than choose a Republican they don't like is no conservative.

[Rennes Templar]

DeSantis is an election fraud denier.

[catnipman]

and yet ANOTHER fake conservative, RINO, GOPe, Uniparty, anti-Republic, pro-fascist hack is unmasked! Thank You AGAIN, Donald Trump!

[Reverend Wright]

I can’t believe that a guy who was all in for Q would have bad judgement on other matters.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

—> I love Trump, but I wish he would go after Desantis more tactfully

I’d like tactical nukes.

Just the small ones though.

This is a bare knuckle brawl in the street for the nomination.

I want a candidate who an and will fight and can and will win.

So far that is trump.
