Ron DeSantis Heckled So Much at Iowa Fair Gov Kim Reynolds Had to Ask People to be Nice to Him


Posted originally on the CTH on August 12, 2023 | Sundance 

Today was a not very good, horrible day for the DeMeatball in Iowa.  While President Trump was swamped with people cheering and trying to get an autograph, the absentee governor from the Sunshine state was running the gauntlet through crowds shouting, “we love Trump” and calling the lying liar who lies, “pudding fingers.”  lol 

The optics were so bad, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, a DeSantis supporter and campaign advocate, had to beg people in attendance to stop yelling at the sensitive guy from Florida, and be “Iowa nice.”  However, while the GOP may define “Iowa nice” as the powdered wig sensibility of country club republicanism and given the nature of our national crisis driven by the ‘reach-across-the aisle’ mannerism it represents, the attending audiences were a little more deliberate in disregarding the instructions.

Yes, this is a new era of MAGA republicanism, where the base voter understands the stakes and fights like the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s ark.

“Hey, you know what? We’re in Iowa! And in Iowa we’re ‘Iowa Nice.’ So, let’s give everyone the opportunity to hear our candidates,” Reynolds snapped as the crowd began to cheer in response. “So, we’ll stop until you do, but we’re all going to have an opportunity to hear from each and every candidate.”

The protesters who heckled DeSantis also went viral for an incident the day before where they confronted DeMeatball at a campaign stop in Iowa by yelling “Go back to Florida, pudding fingers” through a bullhorn.

Suspicious – DeSantis Team Works with RNC to Hide Small Donor Contribution Details – The RNC Debate Qualification Is Based on Donor Contribution Details


Posted originally on the CTH on August 10, 2023 | Sundance 

The New York Times has an article written yesterday noting how the DeSantis team has a special agreement with the RNC, via WinRed, to hide the small donor contributions to their campaign.

Knowing how the Big Club operates within the private corporation known as the RNC, and with small donor contributions being a debate qualification, it makes you wonder if this “special RNC agreement” with the DeSantis team might carry a motive to ensure a debate hurdle is overcome.

(New York Times) – When WinRed, the company that processes nearly all online Republican campaign contributions, recently released its enormous trove of donor data for the first half of the year, donations were conspicuously absent for one presidential candidate: Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida.

It was no technical glitch. The DeSantis campaign worked with WinRed in a way that prevented the disclosure of donor information, ensuring that the campaign’s small donors would remain anonymous, according to a person familiar with the campaign.

The arrangement appears to be the first of its kind for a presidential campaign since WinRed’s founding four years ago and could presage a return to an era in which far less information on small donors is made public, at least for Republicans.

Representatives for Mr. DeSantis declined to describe details of the arrangement.

[…]  The strategy may be most notable for what it could suggest to competitors about Mr. DeSantis’s campaign.

“To the extent that unitemized contributions could tell you something about a candidate that might be valuable, it’s that they are regional, in one place,” Mr. Mackowiak, the strategist, said. “The only thing I can think of is that their small donor base may be primarily Florida-based, and they didn’t want to appear like a regional candidate.” (read more)

Knowing with absolute certainty that everything surrounding the campaign of Ron DeSantis is manufactured, fake, Astroturf and artificial, I would strongly suggest the special arrangement between the RNC and DeSantis is motivated by their joint goal to remove MAGA from the organization.

An Anniversary Message – DeSantis Removes Campaign Manager, Shuffles Campaign Team in Relaunch 4.0, Latest Effort to Save Failing Campaign


Posted originally on the CTH on August 8, 2023 | Sundance

PLEASE Do not miss the anniversary timing.  NOTHING is accidental. EVERYTHING is connected.  Today is the anniversary of the August 8th FBI raid in Mar-a-Lago; the event that was preplanned to kick off the 2024 DC national removal effort, which was timed with the DeSantis national launch.  The remainder of this year’s GOPe forecast is cloudy with a chance of meatballs.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis continues to ignore his stewardship of the office he was entrusted to hold, as he fires his campaign manager and pulls his Florida chief of staff into the role.

Despite donor assurances just a week ago, campaign Manager Generra Peck has been removed from her position and replaced with James Uthmeier who serves as DeSantis’ chief of staff in the abandoned and collapsing state of Florida.  Peck will remain with the campaign as a strategist and Uthmeier will take a leave of absence from his role in Tallahassee to take over the position of campaign manager.

While James Uthmeier has zero campaign political experience, he is a lawyer with specific economic and legal skills related to his former job at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce where he served as legal counsel.  Given the nature of the reason for the Wall Street Sea Island group to support the 2024 DeSantis operation, having a multinational advocate in the role of campaign manager oddly does make sense.  There are trillions at stake.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Ron DeSantis has replaced his campaign manager Generra Peck, in what is the third major reshuffling of his operations, a campaign spokesperson and a person familiar with the move confirmed to POLITICO.

Peck will be shifted to a role of chief strategist as part of the new order. Taking her place atop the campaign will be James Uthmeier, who has served as chief of staff in DeSantis’ governor’s office. In a text message, Uthmeier said the change was happening “ASAP.”

[…] One person close to the campaign, who was granted anonymity to freely discuss the issue, said that Peck’s removal, which was first reported by The Messenger, was “no surprise. Should have happened a few weeks ago.”

DeSantis’ campaign spokesperson, Andrew Romeo, also confirmed the staff moves in a statement, saying that “Uthmeier has been one of Governor DeSantis’ top advisors for years and he is needed where it matters most: working hand in hand with Generra Peck and the rest of the team to put the governor in the best possible position to win this primary and defeat Joe Biden.”

He added that David Polyansky, who worked with Never Back Down, the super PAC supporting DeSantis, will also move to the campaign.

[…] The person also described Uthmeier’s role as “CEO” of the campaign but who will rely on Polyansky — and Marc Reichelderfer, a veteran political consultant from Tallahassee — as “senior vice presidents” with national campaign experience. Ryan Tyson, a well-regarded pollster, is also expected to have an elevated role in the campaign.

[…] Uthmeier is taking an unpaid leave of absence from the administration to work on the campaign and is not resigning permanently from his job as chief of staff, according to the governor’s office. Alex Kelly, a former top deputy to DeSantis who was recently appointed to be the secretary of the Department of Commerce, will step in as acting chief of staff while Uthmeier works with the campaign, which operates out of an office building in Tallahassee.

I told readers in August of last year, almost exactly a year ago today, this message.

Very few people at the time wanted to believe it.

We are here because we discuss uncomfortable truths.  We accept things as they are, and not as we would wish them to be.

Since the original innocuous tweet 48 hours ago, from a private account, which did not even use the name “Trump,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been absolutely silent about the illicit FBI raid on the home of Florida citizen and former President Donald J Trump.   DeSantis is showing us all who he really is; but are you willing to accept it?

The raid on President Trump’s home is a moment for all to stand and take a position.  On the day after the raid, much like the entire DC Decepticon establishment, Ron DeSantis hid in the bunker and kept quiet.  No tweets. No appearances. Nothing that would create a situation where he would have to enter this ‘time of choosing.’ This is what politicians do. This is what Nikki Haley does.  Avoiding controversy is not what war time leaders do.

On the second day after the raid, again with the politics of the issue as the dominating consideration, DeSantis releases a recording of a statement as Florida schools begin to open for the fall semester.  Again, avoiding any situation where he would be asked to take a position on the raid.   Please take note and pay attention.  These are the moments that matter, the examples that show the true intents and motives of political leaders.

DeSantis is doing what he has been advised to do.

The silence of DeSantis is deafening.

DeSantis’ supporters, cheerleaders, GOPe promoters and sycophants will ignore it, but deep in their psyche they know what I am saying is true.

Ron DeSantis is a good governor for the state of Florida and has many attributes that make him important for a host of reasons, but this is not a war-time general.  Ron DeSantis is a politician.

Accept things as they are, not as you would wish them to be.  Because this is the same man that many people would select to face the greatest enemy to our republic.  DeSantis is showing us right now that he does not possess the courage, desire in scale, or ability to fight the enemy we face in this battle.

DeSantis is a good finisher, a good maintainer, a good and solid ally who operates well when surrounded by the fortune of an aligned legislative body; but he is not yet the weapon that can stop the corrupt UniParty enemy within our republic.

There are moments that show the character of the politicians in the club apparatus.  The pathetic and embarrassing Ted Cruz speech at the 2016 RNC nominating convention was one of those moments.  The response, or lack thereof, to an illegitimate FBI raid on the personal home of the leader of the republican party is yet another.

Accept things as they are, you will be far less disappointed later on.
