GOP mega-donor urges Trump to drop out of 2024 race, backs DeSantis: It's 'time' for next generation

Ahead of Gov. Ron DeSantis' anticipated announcement this week, a GOP mega-donor is throwing his support toward the Florida Republican instead of former President Donald Trump.

Point Bridge Capital founder Hal Lambert explained in a FOX Business exclusive interview why he believes it's "time [for the Republican Party] to move on" to younger leadership.

"There's a number of reasons," Lambert said on "Cavuto: Coast to Coast" on Tuesday. "One, Donald Trump can only serve one term. He'll effectively be a lame duck almost on day one, if he were to win. But I don't think he can win the general [election]. That's the No. 2 reason. I don't think he can win the general."

"It's time to move on to the next generation. And Gov. DeSantis has a vision forward versus hashing out things from the past."..........

More BullBush. He started getting paid a while back,or he would never  be jumping into a Presidential election.

AND,the people paying him to run are Dims and globalists.

Yep.  She's been pushing the Bush family lie for awhile now.  Yet when asked numerous times to back up that claim, she goes silent.  The usual MO.

The megadonors don't own the party; they just lease it.

It's the votes of the unwashed masses of deplorables that choose the GOP nominee.

Whomever wants to be the GOP nominee for 2024 needs to prepare himself or herself to go through Trump to get it.

Ok,shithead. Get back with me on that once he is a formal candidate and the campaign begins.

You are such a "fanboi" you would support him if he ran with Hillary as his running mate.

Not a chance. At his age,this will be his last attempt. I don't doubt for a minute that he will continue  to contribute cash to  some campaigns,but he won't be running again. Which is one of the reasons I support him.

That explains why Trump lost in 2020 since Lambert backed him.

@corbe

No,I don't remember it,but I will take your word for it.

So what? Was he lying when he claimed to be financially capable of doing so,if neccessary? I really don't know because I honestly  don't know,and don't care how much money  he has. I DO know he has enough that it would be impossible to bribe him to purposely take a dive because NOTHING is as important to him as his ego.

Remind me again,did he get re-elected and fail to keep a campaign promise?

BTW,just out of curiosity,are you glad that Biden is in the WH instead of Trump?

But if you're looking for Hillary fanbois:

THAT is known as lying by omission,bubba. Trump was a businessman sucking up to people in a position to help his businesses succeed.Which means he had to socialize with  scum like the Clintons. His stockholders would have suffered if he hadn't socialized with the wife of the President. You know that,of course,but you don't give a damn  because it allowed you to attach a "Rich Rude Man" and try to do your little morality dance. You are not fooling anyone but yourself.

@Hoodat

Trump lost in 2020 because of Dim voter fraud.

Chances are he,or anyone else running against the Dim candidate in the next Presidential race will face the same process,and lose unless some changes are made.

Which is why I will ultimately make my decision on RDS based on his record, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and not what Trump or his MAGA base claim here as it’s been discredited too many times

Plus Trump has massive credibility problems to take his word on much of anything

Will I vote for DeSantis? Maybe. But I won’t be voting Trump. He and Biden are determined to bankrupt us

How to you reconcile a lot of these same people having backed Trump in 2016??  Why was it okay for Trump to take all that money, but not DeSantis?

Here's the reality -- most of that kind of PAC spending isn't done because they want to "own" the candidate.  It's done because the the people who finance those PACs already agree with the stances that candidate holds, and want them to be President.  After all, there are plenty of candidates from which they could choose, and they pick the one they like the most.  Nothing wrong with that.  Usually, there are multiple such PAC's supporting contending candidates, and it would be impossible for a candidate to pander to them all anyway.

I had to raise money once for a political issue -- it was Right to Work in my state.  So what you do is you identify people who you agree with you on that issue alread.  You then go to them, tell them the cause you're pushing, and ask if they'll support it.  Contributions -- at least for issues and people seeking an office -- come from contributors already aligned with the candidate.  Because after all, those PACs have no hold over the candidate once they are in office.  A PAC supporting DeSantis has no recourse if he gets in office and doesn't do what they asked.  So they only way it works is for them to find candidates in who they actually believe.  "Buying" and "owning" the candidate doesn't work because they can do whatever they wish after they are in office.

The real corruption generally doesn't come in until you're talking about contributions made to incumbents.  Because that's when lobbyists can wait to see how you vote on an issue before making the contribution.
