DeSantis campaign rakes in more than $1M after first Republican debate

By Josh Christenson
August 25, 2023

The presidential campaign of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis raised more than $1 million in the 24 hours after the first Republican primary debate, The Post has confirmed.

The 2024 presidential hopeful reported the fundraising surge as one of eight GOP candidates hoping to build on their performances Wednesday night in Milwaukee and challenge the front-runner, former President Donald Trump.

ABC News first reported on the DeSantis campaign’s post-debate intake.

“Ron DeSantis showed Wednesday night that he is a proven leader who will deliver results as president, and we are thrilled with the flood of support we have received since his debate victory,” campaign manager James Uthmeier said.

“We look forward to building on this momentum in the weeks and months ahead as the governor continues to outwork everyone in this race as he lays out his vision to reverse our nation’s decline and revive the American Dream.”

DeSantis entered the debate looking to make a renewed pitch to a national audience and his campaign quickly worked to capitalize on his performance with an all-day fundraiser with donors in Milwaukee the day after -- resulting in a cash win for the Florida governor, according to DeSantis' campaign.

You realize that the fools that are being fleeced by his Orangness are funding the Stone-Pecker Slime machine against RDS  instead of going after the Biden admin don't you?

Let's at least keep it real here.

You missed your mark, then, because all you did was step into another mess of Orange dog-shit.  Doesn't that get tiring?

There once was a man not from Nantucket ...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Coming To Nantucket
Jason Graziadei • Aug 07, 2022
https://nantucketcurrent.com/news/florida-governor-ron-desantis-coming-to-nantucket
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a possible 2024 presidential candidate, will be on Nantucket this Tuesday for a fundraiser, multiple sources told the Current.

The DeSantis event is being hosted by businessman and island summer resident James Pallotta, the owner and founder of Raptor Group, a private investment firm....

 ////00000////

Next steps towards denialism:

1.) Discredit the the source, Nantucket Current, as a lamestream media liberal Dem propaganda rag.
2.) Discredit the messenger (me) was a DNC troll.
3.) The lame "everyone else does it" what-about-ism trope.  Are we in kindergarten?
4.) Deflect to "look, there's a transgender flounder!"

A genuine conservative Republican has no business panhandling for Big Money donations from Wall Street banksters on Nantucket in August (2022).

There are conservatives pretty much anywhere. Sometimes they are pretty small minority, but they're out there.  Absolutely no reason any conservative politician should not go to certain parts of the country to fundraise just because those areas have a reputation of being generally liberal.

Perhaps if you could get your nose off the bark for a moment?

Now is the perfect time for everybody to declare which side they're on...who and/or what they will support.

We all know that the lawfare against Pres. Trump is a Democratic gimmick...so why begrudge him the opportunity pay for his legal fees? From THESE donors particularly!

Do you have any information of how much was toward legal fees, and how much was spent with Stone and Pecker and their slime operation dispensing with RDS?

True, and it just floors me that so many on our side are getting so duped.

I don't regrudge Trump raising money from Republican donors on Nantucket. My only point is if it's okay for Trump, it's okay for DeSantis.

Trump was never a true conservative Republican.

The guy was, is and has always been a NYC liberal democrat.  Hood hoodwinked a lot of people.  But his true colors were evident about 2.5 years into his reign.  Had the rats put up a better candidate than hilary he would have never made it to the Big House.

Since when do people who have been financially successful not have a home in the Republican Party?  There are people in every industry in this country who are conservatives. The idea that a Republican candidate should refuse to accept money from somebody just because they happen to work on Wall Street is ridiculous

I'm sorry, but his true colors were evident long before then. Just one example: He said for the 20% of people who can't afford healthcare "the government was going to pay for it" in 2016. And this 20% wasn't the welfare recipients who already had their healthcare taken care of. All it was was another entitlement program transferring money from those who paid their way to others who did not. And too many "conservatives" just brushed it off because they were all in no matter what he did or said at that point.

No need to declare @DCPatriot . I have been declared all the way along. I defend Conservatism.
That leaves but one candidate. If you would like to defend Tumpy as a Conservative, I will happily disabuse you of the notion. But you'll have to give me a little time between replies... Guffaws, belly laughs and giggling fits make it hard for me to type.

I WILL vote for DeSantis. There is no other that has Conservative chops... At least not that I know of.

The point is not his legal fees (though I do not believe for a minute that's what's going on)
The point his that Tumpy 'went begging' from the very same donors you accused DeSantis with.

Give it up pal, your cover on this just got blown away.
