The upcoming week or two should provide more clarity on 2024 candidate field as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott are all likely to make their enlistment official. Of course, most eyes will be on the Jeb! lane for 2024 which is currently occupied by Ron DeSantis.
Current Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, another approved Republican, is in a holding pattern above the race in the event that DeSantis does a big stupid. Meanwhile, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu is now pushing himself into the foray, while simultaneously meeting with DeSantis to talk shop.
Things are starting to become clearer

A rutorial inRNC politics v. DNC politics
Once you understand the real baseline of corporation run party politics inside the USA, all of the moves – past and present – make sense, and the ‘ah-ha’ moments just keep flooding in. {GO DEEP}
The boardroom of the Democrat private corporation (DNC) wants power. The boardroom of the Republican private corporation (RNC) wants money. The Democrats use money to get power, ultimately control over people; while the Republicans use power to get money, whatever happens to the people is irrelevant.
The DNC wants fundamental change; the RNC wants to be paid and control wealth while it happens.

Those who are besotted with what they believe to be DeSantis’s “electability” would do well to run this article througgh their brains. Big picture stuff.
[Sidebar – Remember, for those who control Republican politics, stopping Trump is the objective – not winning the 2024 election. The status of the financial class will remain untouched if the Democrat wing of the corporate apparatus succeeds. As long as Trump is not the President, the club wins regardless of whose flag is atop the spire.]

Bleat, bleat. Let's hear more about how all those GOPe who aren't President Trump, or won't fall in line to support him, should be more respected. The vast majority of these same GOPe clowns are the ones who have sold out their constituents at the drop of a hat for decades. But we should respect them anyways. . . blah, blah, blah.

"New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu has taken his most significant step yet in exploring a White House bid, launching a national political organization that’s a popular tool for prospective presidential candidates testing the waters."

For all you never DeSantis folks, he has had the guts to take on the social issues here in Florida including the clot shot. I am sick of the Trump attack ads but if he is the candidate would still vote for him a third time.

So DeSantis is “electable,” just like McCain was “electable” in 2008, and ditto Romney in 2012, and of course that was Jeb!’s calling card in 2016. The same tune over and over, and it never makes the Hit Parade of actual “electability.”
Pray tell, how is anyone “electable” this time around if the GOP is making no effort to effect election reform? Yet the GOP brain trust expects us to salivate (Pavlov dog style) when we hear the term.

If DeSantis wins the primary I will of course vote for him.
IMO whatever Republican wins the primary the rest of them must fall in with him to win.
IMO It will be whoever wins the republican primary against Robert Kennedy.
I sure don't want a democrat to win but Kennedy is probably the best of a bad bunch.

He’s been a decent Governor. I think he used to get some good advice from his father, a defender of President Trump. We haven’t seen the Dad in a while.
Chris is an example of the “Peter Principle.”
Not many politicians discern their own impending descent into the abyss, that there’s nowhere to go but down…
when there had been a path of relevancy.
DeSantis needs to watch the company he keeps.
WE ARE LOSING OUR REPUBLIC, fast—
Better smarten up
Stop playing
Stop lying
It’s true, the left plays… no, it FIGHTS… to win. And they laugh at the political games Repubs are playing because at the first chance they’ll squash them like bugs.

When you hang with RINO types, your approval will go down. I like DeSantis, but all this hanging with the establishment Old Guard gives me concern. Trump is a proven commodity warts and all.
I grew up in Florida and remember Jeb Bush 1st run as governor - very conservative, Second run and election - conservative-moderate. National Stage - moderate to liberal. Just saying there is a pattern coming out of Florida.

So DeSantis and Sununu "plot" politics? Interesting choice of word coming from a conspiracy nut.

If this is true, it just clarifies that DeSantis is another deep state RINO. I believe he is more conservative than most, but they will fund that right out of him in his losing bid for the Republican nomination for 2024. They just don't spend the hundreds of millions of dollars to fund a campaign without expecting a lot in return -- including your soul.
That is why they hate Donald Trump. He can't be bought.

#6, DeSantis is a strong conservative governor of a solidly Republican state. He has a strong Republican state legislature to give him what he wants, so he is able to come through on his promises with little opposition. He is young, with an attractive wife and children, and very popular in his home state even among a lot of Demon-Rats and media in the state.
If that sounds familiar, it is the exact same description of George W. Bush when he was governor of Texas. However, when he ran for president, he discovered that it's a much harder game to play when you have a Demon-Rat Party that will block everything they can that you want to do, and a bunch of RINO Republi-Can'ts in Congress that will join the Demon-Rats to "keep you in your place" more times than you can possibly comprehend.
Let him finish his second term as governor of Florida. And then in 2028, he will have more experience and be the solid front-runner for the Republican nomination. But if he goes up against Trump, that is political suicide, and he won't have a future. But if he just swallows his pride and is Trump's biggest cheerleader this next year, then he will inherit Trump's huge base of conservative voters (both their time and money), as well as the support of Trump himself, in 2028!!!
I am far from a "newer DeSantis" person. I truly hope he is president from 2029 to 2037. But this year, I am all in for Trump, and DeSantis will lose a lot of support from people like me in the future. He doesn't need to commit political suicide by running in this election -- it's that simple!!!!!

So, here goes Sundance again telling us how Trump's opposition to Rinos, which are any Republicans at odds with Donald, is the sure way to guarantee his victory.

# 15, Sununu may suck but our eventual nominee is going to need the support of the ENTIRE GOP if he is to have half a chance in the general election.

It appears that #8 and #16 just don't get it. If the Trumpster isn't the nominee in 2024, they ain't voting for the anointed person on the ticket. These Rino peeps are all thinking the MAGA crowd will fall in line and vote for any R on the ticket. That Dog Don't Any More.!!!!!

Trump, DeSantis, MAGA, RINOs, blah, blah blah. The Democrat/deep state/media complex stole 2020, what makes you think any Republican will be allowed to win in 2024? And if, by some miracle there is a slim possibility of the Republican candidate winning next year, for any sane person to say “unless the nominee is [fill in the name], I’m not supporting or voting for him” makes no sense at all. IMO 2016 was likely our last legitimate election, but maybe (hopefully) I’m wrong. One thing is certain though, if Democrats win 2024, there will be no legitimate elections in the future.

Two scenarios I’ve been thinking about. One is Trump gets the nomination which is likely, then “loses” to Biden again. What then? Four years of “I was robbed.” Second scenario is DeSantis gets the nomination, Trump refuses to back him, all of the Trump voters refuse to vote for him because he dared to get the nomination and “plotted” with the dreaded Rinos. DeSantis loses and guess who is president for four more years? Biden with Obama pulling the strings. We are screwed, and the lying democrats, lefty media, and woke corporations are thrilled to death.

Primaries and caucuses are held so Republicans can decide whom to nominate. It’s the process. Sundance chooses to ignore that.

It is actually painful to watch someone destroy themselves. However, DeSantis is giving it his best shot though. Can he be filled with that much arrogance to believe he can win over the base while acting like an Obama clone. When are we going to hear, we are the ones we have been waiting for? The man is arrogant and politically tone deaf. He can’t be so daft that he believes the base, especially after the Durham Report was released, is going anywhere. We are even more committed. In what universe does he believe he can convince us he is better? Look at Trump’s record. Those accomplishments aren’t a matter of conjecture. Those are hard facts and were all accomplished while the deep state was doing their best to stop him.
The political class in both parties know Trump will change the political landscape forever if he is elected again and clearly, they would rather have corruption as the motivating power in Washington. Their worst nightmare would be if power was given back to the people. If we ever hope to have any influence on how this country is run, we must put Trump in the White House again.
DeSantis it seems has decided that the donor class, corrupt consultants and politicians know better than the American people. We have been so under attack by the political class it’s like we have collective Stockholm syndrome. Time to break the bonds that shackle us to this traitorous and destructive political force that both parties have embraced. We cannot do that with a go along to get along attitude. There has to come a time when the American people stand up and say, enough is enough. That will not happen with bought politicians.

‘Plot politics’ is code for ‘How to eliminate Trump’. They are all desperate to indict Trump for something, anything really, because right now he is the peoples choice. It may happen.
I like DeSantis and yes, he is successfully taking on the woke movement. He is acting as a populist governor. He also has a strong Republican State Legislature who rubber stamp anything he wants. Nice gig but Washington doesn’t work that way.

The way Trump has been smearing DeSantis before he announces, I believe he will run as a third party candidate. This would guarantee that who ever the Democrats run would win. Rather than run and loose, DeSantis would be best not to wait until the next election. By that time the country will be sick of Trump’s antics. About are only hope that the Democrats replace Kamala on the ticket with someone who is not totally incompetent.
If the Democrats win, I doubt if this country can survive four more years of Democrat woke insanity.

Sununu is a literal nobody in national politics and Ron D. should recognize that, the only thing that New Hampshire has in its favor is the 1st in the nation primary and 1st in the nation national election results, other wise no one cares what NH thinks, especially Sununu

Sununu is a never Trumper...so it's no surprise....he's a small man with a big name who will use it to capitalize on the swamp...he gets thrown scraps from the table to keep him happy....as for sanctimonious...he's on a fool's errand if he thinks these toads are letting him run because he can win...his job is to fracture the republican base so biden can win from his basement...it's all about keeping the Washington republicans in their place...while the rats run the show....right Nancy?
