Trumps 2016 and 2020 backers are some of the deepest swamp pockets in the game.
Steven A. Schwarzman, Blackstone founder and major donor is now moving aside.
Miriam Adelson, wife of deceased Sheldon Adelson, largest Vegas gambling empire mogul and on of the original folks who propped up MOSSAD, is "remaining neutral'
The Mercer family, who backs guys like Cruz and anyone in the GOP who praises Israel non stop, is now also not supporting Trump.
CIA Rat, Mike Pompeo is now considered one of the weasels who backed out. Remember him? The guy that was analyzed imo more than anyone else out there but the hoards of popular anons. Whom imo are all 3 letter agency faggots.
Imo Desantis will get all these people to back him and he will be the one who wins the GOP nominee.
Why? Desantis is mixed up with the exact same people Trump has been mixed up with. Where by proxy or direct connection. It's the same circle.
Desantis cannot be bullied like the rest of the GOP candidates can. He is a younger Trump and that is how they will play it. The difference being, and this may hurt some of your feelings, Desantis is far more articulate than Trump is when expressing his thoughts and addressing reporters.
Desantis will point to Florida being the example of just how much of a winner he is.
He will point to his age being a major factor.
Desantis will also appeal greatly to people who are sick of democrats and looking for a guy who comes off as reasonable and more importantly, is not meme material like Trump has been for years especially after 2016. Not only that but conservatives who don't like Trump will 1000% vote for Desantis and there are a lot of them.
IMO this is the play the DS is going to hammer. I've not made up my mind that Trump isn't in on it yet. There some things that I see that makes him a perfect controlled opposition character (which I believe is what Desantis is 100%)
Interesting times ahead.
Not so fast. Desantis did a great job in FL, agreed, but to call him to the front of the pack is premature. Money can wash back and forth but as I recall, Trump's war chest is something like $200 mil right now? That's not counting what MAGA contributes over the next 2 years. And while DeSantis might appeal to the younger voter, Trump will carry those 45+ age voters who remember what he did in short order when first elected.
Keep in mind, DeSantis wasn't weighted down with constant investigations and law suits as Governor. Trump's accomplishments were made in spite of the harassments and backstabbing of early staffers. Trump running again will not be thus encumbered if Republicans manage to take both House and Senate. What Trump went through during and after being office would have broke other men. Financially if not spiritually.
Could age be a factor? Definitely. Trump while in good shape now, looked awfully tired during his announcing of 2024 bid. Maybe he was acting, but I remember thinking is age going to be a problem in 2024? Voters would be thinking can he make it for another 4 in good shape with all his faculties? Biden has poisoned the well for older candidates for some time to come.
I recall seeing something posted a week or two ago on this board supposedly showing DeSantis, Fauci and Redmond? as stock holders of a small company, Was that debunked or can anyone provide a link? It seemed to come out around the time of the word spat between Trump and DeSantis. If that document was genuine and truthful, it could trip DeSantis up.
I didn't write about Trumps campaign money. I wrote about the swamp who have been behind his campaign from pre 2016.
These are the types who have sway in normie minds. Imo, Desantis is what they created to be a "normie Trump".
He's polished yet speaks in a direct manner. He does not excite meme behavior and he has a very strong resume to normies with what "he" did in Florida.
