THAT WAS QUICK: DeSantis Donors Reportedly Recommending DeSantis Sit This One Out
by Joe Hoft Mar. 26, 2023 8:15 am
The donors behind Ron DeSantis for President in 2024 are now asking him to sit this one out, according to recent reports.
(We heard this rumor last week that the big money behind DeSantis for 2024 were abandoning ship.)
According to CF:
--- Quote --- Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s donors and supporters are beginning to question if the potential 2024 Republican presidential candidate should run in the next election cycle — a bid that would put him against former President Donald Trump — or wait until 2028, according to reports.
According to a report from NBC News, donors and supporters of DeSantis are having second thoughts on the prospect of the governor’s potential presidential bid. Per the report, one main issue seems to be the governor’s ability to take Trump — who has been criticizing the governor for months — head on.

NBC reports:
--- Quote ---Ron DeSantis may be missing his moment.
A number of the Florida governor’s donors and allies are worried his recent stumbles suggest he may not be ready for a brutal fight against Donald Trump. Some feel DeSantis needs to accelerate his timeline to run for the GOP presidential nomination and begin directly confronting Trump if he’s to have any chance of thwarting the former president’s momentum. Others believe DeSantis should sidestep Trump altogether and wait until 2028 to run.
At a Sunday luncheon following the annual Red Cross ball in Palm Beach, Florida, a group of 16 prominent Republicans, described by one attendee as a mix of DeSantis backers and Trump “skeptics,” discussed misgivings about the governor’s standing for the future if he tussles with the former president.
“They liked him — many of them might even support him,” the person who was at the event said of DeSantis. “But they thought on balance that his long-term future was better without him trying to take Trump head on.”
“He will get scarred up” by Trump, the person added.
Then there’s conservative billionaire shipping goods magnate Richard Uihlein and his wife, Elizabeth, whose $500,000 in combined contributions ranked them among the most generous donors to DeSantis’ 2022 re-election campaign.

LMAO:
I agree with this
Might as well let Trump have the nomination, and then he’ll go on to lose the general
Then we’ll have to pick up the pieces in 2028. Either after Biden’s last term in office or president Newsom’s second term
Kamaji:
Personally, I would prefer that he sit out 2024 so that Trump can flame out on his ownsome lonesome without taking down a potentially strong candidate like DeSantis, which is what will almost certainly happen if DeSantis runs in 2024. Trump seems perfectly happy to take the entire GOP down with him if he can't have the nomination.
Don't get sucked into the Orange Shitshow.
Instead, those of us who care about the future of this country should be focusing on the House, the Senate, and state races, including most particularly races for Secretary of State - the office that typically controls the count in elections.
DeSantis, will only become more electable - or prove himself not up to the challenge - by honing his skills and his political capital in the Florida governorship. He will get seriously damaged if he gets too close to the Trump flameout.

The despicable Stone-Pecker slime machine is already working in over drive.
They have no problem lying and splatting lies and innuendo at not only DeSantis, but probably anyone who dares support him.
Wish Roger Stone would catch a communicable disease from one of F*ggy friends.

DeSantis has tanked in the polls for reasons I have just covered. Not sure I want to give up just yet.
