Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Wins Coveted Paul Ryan Endorsement for 2024

Folks, I’m not trying to bust on Ron DeSantis, I’m just highlighting the dynamic in the background to include the political players and deep connected GOP club operatives. If the truth makes me a critic, then so be it; but I’m not going to play the pretending game. Quite frankly, I’m tired of it.
Ron DeSantis is backed by the same assembly of political insiders, donors, corporations and financial backers that supported Jeb Bush. The professionally republican class know what they have in DeSantis, and he is brand organized, packaged & managed to deliver on their intents.
Former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan is as dialed in to the GOP club system as it gets. Ryan’s brass nameplate is rivetted to one of the select mahogany chairs at the club table.
Speaking Wednesday at the Robin Hood conference before billionaires Steve Cohen and Paul Tudor Jones went on stage, Paul Ryan noted the GOP 2024 nominee will be “someone other than Donald Trump.”
According to a recording of his talk, Ryan named Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott as his three favorites. {source} DeSantis fighting Disney was “really good for him, from a political perspective,” Ryan said.
DeSantis didn’t raise $200+ million, with 94% coming from billionaires and multinational corporations, for a gubernatorial reelection race in Florida. Keep in mind all of the major expenses (television ads, mailers, etc.) are coming from outside PACs and affiliated groups.
DeSantis has raised a massive war chest and he is not spending it. He has willingly accepted the positioning for a 2024 nomination effort. It is intellectually dishonest not to see what the Club is doing.
The DNC Club is doing the same thing with California Governor Gavin Newsom.
The both wings of the UniParty want a Newsom -vs- DeSantis contest.
The professional political approach is as clear now in 2022 as it was in 2014 when the clubs were organizing the Hillary -vs- Jeb contest for 2016.

I mean Paul Ryan isn't endorsing Trump, so there's only one other option left
Turning this into "muh Swamp" is silly (which I imagine you're being with the thread title)

Exactly. Trump or die supporters so easily riled over nothing.

Unless you have the receipts.
Where do you think that $200 million has come from in the DeSantis coffers? All you have to to is peruse fec.gov to find out who the big donors are and who they are contributing to. Ron's biggest daddy is Kenneth Griffin.

Not really. I just hate seeing an otherwise great governor get captured by the DC establishment. You are watching it in real time.

Didn't David Duke endorse Donald Trump, even though Trump doesn't appear to agree with Duke's racist agenda?
That was the argument to brush away the leftist media attacking Trump merely based on who supported him being President.
But now conservative pundits want to be able to cast a negative light on DeSantis merely because Paul Ryan thinks he'd make a good President?
Dumbasses.

So raise no money?
Openly reject endorsements (which are symbolic bullshite) to cause drama that isn't needed?
