Election 2024
![]() July 31, 2023
Ed Rollins, a Republican strategist behind a PAC devoted to getting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to run for president, who was the national campaign director for former President Ronald Reagan's 1984 presidential campaign, created the "Ready for Ron" political action committee (now known as "Ready to Win") in May 2022 with the express purpose of pushing DeSantis to run for office. But as DeSantis lags far behind Donald Trump in Republican primary polls, Rollins no longer thinks DeSantis is best suited to defeat the 45th president. "I don't think it's the campaign's fault at all; it's his. I think he's been a very flawed candidate. I know some of the people around him, and some of them are good, talented people. But every time he opens his mouth, he has a tendency to — shall we say — think out-loud, and he clearly doesn't understand the game," Rollins told Rolling Stone. "When you get into these culture wars the way that he has, the vast majority of people don't understand what they are. |

"I don't care about Donald Trump's legal future -- that's his problem, he had his chance and screwed up and lost to Joe Biden. If I'm Ron DeSantis, I champion the fact I'm a conservative governor, got a strong robust economy in Florida. I got COVID right. I talk about the things that I can do for the country. I talk about immigration reform. I talk about opportunities to support Ukraine. I talk about education and school choice and the things that helped him win, take Florida from purple to bright red."
--Geoff Duncan summarizing to CNN's Jake Tapper how he'd respond if he were DeSantis 7.19.23.

It may be coming to the place where it would easier to count the people who are not being charged with a crime or pushing some bogus grift.
Prosecutors in Donald, the sexual predator, Trumps criminal case in New York have shared a recording of the former president speaking to a witness with Mr Trump’s legal team, according to CBS News.
The witness hasn’t been identified, a document made public by the prosecutorial office on Friday stated.Mr Trump’s other legal woes continue to mount as a maintenance worker has made a shocking claim about the handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
The worker recalled helping to move boxes into a storage room just one day before the Department of Justice visited Mar-a-Lago seeking the papers, reported The New York Times.
The worker didn’t know what the boxes contained at the time.
Ron DeSantis told radio host Matt Murphy that he was running to the right of Mr Trump and portrayed himself as more conservative, according to USA Today. DeSantis said: “It seems like he’s running to the left and I have always been somebody that’s just been moored in conservative principles."
And now from the Musk wing of the GOP/Trump crime family: Twitter has pulled out of the European Union's voluntary code to fight disinformation, the EU has said. Thierry Breton, who is the EU's internal market commissioner, announced the news on Twitter - but warned the firm new laws would force compliance. "Obligations remain. You can run but you can't hide," he said. Twitter will be legally required to fight disinformation in the EU from 25 August, he said, adding: "Our teams will be ready for enforcement."

Donald Trump the sexual predator, and Ron DeSantis were planning on fighting for voters at duelling events in Iowa.
Mr DeSantis, who has not yet announced he is running, spent the day shaking hands at a congressman’s annual picnic and then an Iowa Republican Party fundraiser in Cedar Rapids. Trump was originally slated to hold a rally in Des Moines, but later had to cancel because of a tornado warning.

Photos taken minutes after cancellation of the Trump “rally” in Des Moines, which was on its way to becoming an embarrassing bust. Note the lack of severe weather, which was cited as the reason for cancellation. One GOP strategist even speculated on CNN that Trump feared being unable to gather a larger crowd than Mr DeSantis.
His critics on the right jumped on the decision, however, given that Mr DeSantis continued on with his own hand-shaking and voter outreach just a few minutes away from where the former president was set to speak.

The big loser of this election was Donald Trump. Most all of the candidates he endorsed did NOT win. I havent looked at everything since I got up but it sounds like Lauren Boebert may lose also..but Perjury Taylor Greene was re-elected. Ron DeSantis won big in Florida which I also think is a lose for Trump because I think DeSantis will run for President in 2024. The big loss for America was that DeSantis won big in Florida because I think DeSantis will run for President in 2024. Democracy may have won in this election.
88% of evangelical Christians in Georgia voted for Herschel Walker. Mind boggling stupid. Somewhere in his repeated rambling he must have accidentally said the word "Jesus" and the Nationalist Christian evangelicals assumed it was a sign from God to vote for the guy who had little to no Christian values and when it came time to speak, in comparison, he often even made Trump's rambling sound like a genius.
Looks like this will be another runoff in Georgia in the Walker vs Warnock race.
