REPORT: DeSantis Still Running Shadow Campaign
National Pulse ^ | 2/26/24 | WILLIAM UPTON

Posted on 02/27/2024 4:16:45 PM PST by conservative98

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis may be positioning himself to jump back into the 2024 Republican presidential primary should former President Donald Trump — the presumptive nominee — be forced out of the race. Over the past several weeks, DeSantis has held several events nationwide supporting an Article V constitutional convention to institute term limits. Additionally, the Florida Governor has renewed his attacks on Trump and continued to blame conservative media for the collapse of his presidential primary bid in January.

The DeSantis presidential campaign has continued to hold delegate calls and huddles with political allies, even after the primary bid was suspended following his loss in Iowa in January. According to Politico, a political operative who has been privy to the calls believes DeSantis is still trying to present himself as an alternative to Trump and would reenter the race should the former President face a felony conviction.

“I believe everything you’re seeing is part of a concerted effort by DeSantis world to keep the door open in the event that something in the race changes in the coming weeks that takes Trump out — like a criminal conviction and jail or prison sentence,” the operative allegedly claimed.

He has said publicly that he’s not considering getting back into the 2024 race, though he has not ruled out running in 2028. This story is bogus.

He needs to fire his political consultants.

They are leaking to the press—and causing nothing but trouble.

Governor of Florida is a big job. It requires his full time attention.

DeSantis beat Haley in the only head to head match.

In other words, DeSantis lurks like a vulture perched in a dead tree waiting for Trump’s misfortunate to grease his skids. He would jump in without the slightest protest of the corruption in it all.

Talk about a low life. Truly, a leopard can’t change his spots.

What were the potshots? I was curious as to what they were but didn’t see any in the article.

"He has said publicly that he’s not considering getting back into the 2024 race, though he has not ruled out running in 2028. This story is bogus."
When one is continuously attacked politically, should one just shut up and take it? Trump certainly doesn't. I will certainly vote for him in 2028 if I'm still around. Based on his record, he's the most MAGA politician in sight, except maybe Trump whose apparent best attribute is his obvious rage (the only reason I'm voting for him). DeSantis based on his background and record is by far the best governor in America.

It’s a shame about Meatball, since he’s a Plain Vanilla U.S. American Containing Zero Foreign Spice.

That (seemingly) rara avis — the undisputed NBC!

MAGA kept saying that DeSantis needed to go back to Florida and govern. Now that he is, they are mad that it makes him look too good and claim he’s running a shadow campaign.

He’s doing his job, governing and leading, and doing it very effetively. MAGA seems to think doing his job is running a shadow campaign. Do oyu want him not to be the best governor he can be? Would you rather have Crist or some other Democrat?

likely because desanctus supporters never see anything wrong with desanctimonious....

whether it’s desantis lying, to his manipulation of people, deliberate breaking of FEC regulations and mcain feingold and other corrupt activities....

yet they seem to make up and misrepresent all sorts of things about Trump, with no basis of facts in evidence
