There are a lot of voters who will support the most conservative candidate not named Trump. If that ruffles your feathers, so be it.

DeSantis is backed by Ken Griffin. He's the establishment's guy.

Plot Twist-


Having the establishment behind you can achieve victory and perhaps get the train back on the rails. Or stay with the "I told you so" loser on the sidelines pointing at the wreckage to pwn someone on social media.

No he is just the conservative candidate not named Trump.

Ken Griffin might vote for DeSantis but that does not make DeSantis establishment.

An establishment politician does not fight the culture war in Florida like DeSantis has done.

FWIW, Trump had establishment billionaires like Goldman Sachs Gary Cohn and WEF Blackstone Stephen Schwarzman supporting him. Did that make Trump establishment?

Well, Trump is the Fauci/Graham/Lincoln Project/etc. aligned candidate with more money, a campaign run by Jeb/Paul Ryan/etc. alums and is favored by institutions and media. CNN just gave him a Town Hall. Trump has been working overtime to pull big donors who expressed early support for DeSantis.

He is the establishment. He is against DeSantis.

Thus, DeSantis is not part of the establishment.

So Trump is in bed with... the Lincoln Project, now? I guess just saying anything is how we're playing this now?

Wait!!

They both had red BBQ aprons with their names monogrammed at the top? Dear Lord, Rons PR team is abysmal

How do you let they get out into the blogosphere? Especially since Jebs! BBQ buddy had a blue apron. The choice of red was signature Jeb!

This is like lefties making the stupid claim that Trump was personally profiting from being POTUS because he would not put his assets in a blind trust.

The Huff Post came out with article stating that DeSantis is far more dangerous than Trump. So there’s that. The author actually stated she would rather four more years of Trump than what could end up being eight with Ron.

Then you've been seriously duped and primed to be duped to boot, which explains why you're all in for Ron.
