Ron DeSantis Drops to Single Digits in Ohio, Trump Crushes Field with 64%, Ramaswamy Gains Second with 12%


Posted originally on the CTH on July 28, 2023 | Sundance 

I have calloused hands and never hide my pride in my blue-collar, non-pretending, life.  I can say with certainty, the rustbelt is forever lost to the professional Republican Party. The GOP club, like the DNC club, is dead in the wake of the great MAGA insurgency.  Politicians representing the high-minded and pontificating professional Republican class will never again win an election in the rustbelt.

The collapse of the Republican Party in the rustbelt is entirely due to the professionally Republican politicians aligning with economic policies that destroyed the middle class within the region. This is MAGA country now; a place where pragmatic views and deliberate perspectives drive the outcomes of the voting electorate.  The era of hope and polite requests is over, and the voters are no longer going to put up with bullsh*t.   A recent Ohio poll is a strong indication of this:

The approved and professional Republican Party candidate, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, has dropped into single digits in Ohio with less than 9% support.  Vivek Ramaswamy has jumped over DeSantis into first loser status with 12%, far behind the originator of the America First agenda, President Donald Trump with 64%.

♦ SEMI RELATED – Recently, after noting the CEO of Public Square bragging about the appointment of former Senator Kelly Loeffler (GA) to the Board of Directors, I asked the founder Michael Seifert if he knew what appointing the wife of NYSE owner Jeffrey Sprecher to the board indicates when contrast against the Wall Street corporate sellout of the working class PublicSq was promising to support.  Public Square founder Michael Seifert said, he “was not familiar” with the rustbelt.  Absorb that as you will.

With the elite financial class being increasingly exposed, and with the collusion between Big Tech and Wall Street in the public spotlight, and knowing the elite Washington DC establishment is a part of that entire corrupt system, and with millions of Americans more able to accept the scale of the issues, perhaps this is a moment to remind ourselves how the BIG CLUB works to deceive under false pretense.

Washington DC is part of the corrupt Wall Street, K-Street, Big Bank, and BIG TECH system. Everything within that system is self-serving and done deliberately with the intent to maintain a particular status for the people within it.  This is the moment of opportunity to expose just how the DeceptiCons trick us… this is information and dot-connecting that created The Last Refuge.  This is the bitter pill that needs to be swallowed.

Everything from within the DC system is designed to lie to us.  Accept that, and we begin to realize how events are NEVER what they appear on the surface.

The owner of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is Jeffrey Sprecher.  Remember the position of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in regard to Senator Loeffler?  Well, Mr. Sprecher is the husband of former Senator Kelly Loeffler.

Kelly Loeffler’s seat was purchased by their elite status and position.   Loeffler was appointed by Brian Kemp.

Why would a billionaire run for an elected office paying a few hundred thousand?

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell positioned Loeffler with committee assignments based on that status of influence and affluence.

Jeffrey Sprecher and Kelly Loeffler entered politics for their elite interests.

The ruse of the DecptiCons is always that a motive to the benefit of the republic lies behind their candidacy. This is the same ruse that lay behind Mitt Romney, another DeceptiCon.  There are no purely altruistic motives behind these politicians, particularly in the Senate.

Their motives are all about status, power and greed.  They are not representatives of the people; they are representative of their own elite fellowship and interests, and this crosses both parties.  Everything else is chaff and countermeasures to ensure their position.

That is the brutal and uncomfortable reality to accept.  The entire system is corrupt.

The swamp is deep and filled with DeceptiCons who will strike at any given moment once they attain a useful position. You might remember, President Trump went to Georgia to campaign for Senator Kelly Loeffler.

Simultaneous to President Trump’s visible support, Loeffler’s husband Jeffrey Sprecher, owner of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), announced the NYSE will not blacklist Chinese telecommunications firms outlined in Trump’s executive order.

Background: On November 12, 2020, President Trump signed an executive order prohibiting American companies and individuals from owning shares in any of the 31 Chinese companies previously listed as enabling the People’s Liberation Army, effective Jan 11, 2021. Three telecommunications companies China Mobile Ltd., China Telecom Corp Ltd., China Unicom Hong Kong Ltd., were targeted.

Literally, as President Trump was traveling to Georgia to rally in support of Senator Loeffler, the NYSE –owned by Loeffler’s husband– announced they would not delist the Chinese companies:

CNBC – The New York Stock Exchange said it no longer plans to delist three Chinese telecommunications giants.

In a late Monday statement, the NYSE said it dropped the plans after “further consultation with relevant regulatory authorities in connection with Office of Foreign Assets Control.”

[…] The exchange had originally planned to drop those listings in order to comply with an executive order that President Donald Trump signed in November. That order sought to bar American companies and individuals from investing in firms that the Trump administration alleged aid the Chinese military.

That ban is set to take effect Monday, a little more than a week before President-elect Joe Biden is set to to be inaugurated. (link)

Via Axios: “NYSE spokesperson Farrell Kramer declined to comment on what had changed in relation to compliance with the executive order. But Kramer referred Axios to a stock exchange statement saying that, “in light of further consultation” it no longer intends to move forward with the delisting action.” (link)

Senator Kelly Loeffler and husband Jeffrey Sprecher, owner of NYSE

Kelly Loeffler was appointed by Georgia Governor Kemp because Loeffler is married to Jeffrey Sprecher, a GOPe party insider, mega-donor, and multi-millionaire CEO of the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).

Jeffrey Sprecher is the founder and CEO of ICE, which now owns the New York Stock Exchange. Kelly Loeffler’s company, the financial platform Bakkt, is a subsidiary of the Intercontinental Exchange.

Corrupt as hell. All of it. Insider party schemes, combined with Deep Swamp politics and personal influence peddling for financial interests. The familiar network of personal financial benefit. In 2012, Mrs. Loeffler donated $750,000 to Mitt Romney’s Super PAC.

Political connections are why Kelly Loeffler was selected by Georgia Governor Kemp, and that same pay-to-play political network is exactly why Nikki Haley originally endorsed her and campaigned for Loeffler in the 2020 election.  Do you doubt Loeffler, or her husband, will be providing financial support to Nikki Haley in her run for the presidency? Transparent swamp dealing.

Yes, Jeffrey Sprecher owns the largest stock exchange in the world: the New York Stock Exchange with more than 2,400 listed companies and a market capitalization of about $22.9 trillion….. There are Always Trillions at Stake.

Now you have the context absorb this:

Donald Trump Raises 4X More Money From Small Donors Than Joe Biden – Meanwhile 83% of DeSantis Money Comes From Big Donors and Corporations


Posted originally on the CTH on July 26, 2023 | Sundance 

An Axios article is delivered to present the contrast between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis around small donor contributions to highlight the scale of grassroot support for Trump over DeSantis.   However, there’s a buried lead in there.

According to the article, “82% of the total raised from individual contributions by Trump’s campaign since the start of the year came from small-dollar donors — amounting to more than $44 million, according to FEC data.” A few paragraphs later, “Biden’s re-election campaign raised roughly $10 million during the second quarter from donors giving less than $200.”  Put another way, President Trump has four times as many small donors than Biden.

CTH has previously pointed out the strength of support within the MAGA working and middle class for President Trump.  Indeed, it was when former RNC Chairman Reince Priebus first saw the scale of the Donald Trump campaign data in June 2016, when all professional party opposition to his campaign disappeared. It wasn’t just the amount of money that stunned Chairman Priebus, it was the number of donors. The largest number of donors to a Republican political campaign ever recorded.

The data shows what most people now have started to accept.  The voting base supports Donald Trump (82% small donors, 18% big donors).  The Wall Street and multinational corporations support Ron DeSantis (17% small donors, 83% big donors).

Trump’s Main Street supporters are the inverse of DeSantis’ Wall Street supporters. There’s the distinction.

(Via Axios) – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is lagging far behind former President Trump on a crucial metric for the longevity of a presidential campaign: small-dollar donations.

Why it matters: Donations of $200 or less are one of the clearest signals of grassroots enthusiasm behind a candidate. These donors are able to give more than once, while wealthy donors often max out on their contributions early in the campaign.

While the full picture of Trump’s campaign finances isn’t clear, his filings so far signal strong grassroots support. The broader political world is grappling with a decline in the small donor dollars that drove recent cycles, Politico reports.

By the numbers: 82% of the total raised from individual contributions by Trump’s campaign since the start of the year came from small-dollar donors — amounting to more than $44 million, according to FEC data.

DeSantis has brought in just 17% from small-dollar donors — while 71% has come from people donating $2,000 or more. (read more)

Have You Ever Noticed This?…


Posted originally on the CTH on July 25, 2023 | Sundance 

At first blush, the following question might seem like a sideways throwaway snark at the professionally political. However, at the heart of it, there’s a truth in the question I am genuinely curious about.

Have you ever noticed that Donald Trump supporters have a better sense of humor than the supporters of all other political candidates?

I mean, it’s just a truthful observation.  Trump supporters are just plain funnier, have a fun disposition and are humorous people.

Like many of you, I’ve followed politics for a long time, and this is just one of those random observations that I have noticed.

The people who support President Donald Trump just have a much greater sense of humor.   Why is that?

Trump: I Want Everyone to Stop Dying


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Jul 24, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Trump seems to be the only one concerned about the casualties of war. When I went to Mar-a-Lago in March 2020, Trump stressed the fact that he was tired of calling mothers and telling them that their sons had been killed in Afghanistan. Granted, he would have devised a better strategy than Biden of simply leaving, but we avoided war under Trump.

“Do you want Russia or Ukraine to win the war?” the clueless CNN reporter kept asking Trump as if she were asking him who he wanted to win the World Cup or Super Bowl.

No one wins in war. People say they want to see Ukraine decimate Russian troops, perhaps even all of Russia. Do they realize what they are saying? The people on the battlefield are not the decision-makers. They are young men and women who have barely had enough time to experience this world. They have no say in politics or the logistics of warfare. Many do not even wish to be there but have no choice. Every time you hear of soldiers dying, those are someone’s children, grandchildren, cousins, friends — you get the picture.

Trump said he could create peace within 24 hours. I would be interested to hear his proposal. It is a shame that everything Trump says is controversial. It is amazing how wanting peace and preventing mass murder is now a controversial statement. You’re on the wrong side of history for not wanting more people dead on one side. The Neocons are mass murderers. Prigozhinm, while a bit crazed, accurately stated the people who are waging these wars are not sending their children to the battlefield to die. Yet those same leaders are willing to sacrifice a generation of young men to play as toy soldiers in their depraved war games.

Michigan Poll – “Not Sure Yet” Closing in on Ron DeSantis


Posted originally on the CTH on July 22, 2023 | Sundance 

In the latest Michigan Poll [DATA HERE] candidate Not Sure Yet is closing in on candidate Ron DeSantis for first place loser.

[SOURCE]

According to numerous sources in the region, team Undecided has been blasting DeSantis for weeks.  Meanwhile, with Not Sure Yet surging, the Super PAC supporting I Don’t Know is rumored to be gearing up for a major push.

It’s anyone’s guess because the Michigan primary is a long way off, but a neck and neck four-way race between Not Sure, Undecided, DeSantis and I Don’t Know, could make things really interesting.  Keep watching…. and don’t forget, Maybe is the dark horse.

Ramaswamy Leaps Ahead of Shrinking DeSantis in National Republican Poll


Posted originally on the CTH on July 20, 2023 | Sundance 

Many people said it was likely to happen and indeed it has.  Vivek Ramaswamy has now overtaken Ron DeSantis to become the top loser to Donald Trump in the GOP primary race.  According to a Kaplan Strategies poll [LINK HERE] Ron DeSantis has now dropped to third place in the presidential preference polling.

KAPLAN – “Vivek Ramaswamy, biotech investor, has made significant strides in his political journey, tying with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the latest national GOP poll. Both candidates claimed the support of 12 percent of likely GOP voters, coming second to President Donald Trump, who maintains a dominant 48 percent lead.

Doug Kaplan, founder of Kaplan Strategies, the firm that conducted the poll, highlights the rising popularity of Ramaswamy in the face of nine competitors. “Ramaswamy outperformed six other hopefuls by more than double, marking a significant surprise in this poll,” Kaplan comments.

While DeSantis remains a top-tier candidate amongst non-Trump choices, he now shares this status with Ramaswamy. The reactions of these camps in the face of this new dynamic are anticipated with interest.

Despite DeSantis’ favorable rating of 59 percent amongst GOP voters, Kaplan suggests that Ramaswamy may have the potential for a higher ceiling, as he is less well-known amongst Republican voters, with a 27 percent Uncertain rate.

Meanwhile, the poll underscores the unwavering support President Trump holds within the GOP, despite the crowded field challenging him. Trump boasts a combined 69 percent favorability rating, leaving little room for uncertainty.” (MORE)

Rupert Murdoch Panel Struggles to Cope, as Looming Godzilla Trump Eats New York Harbor


Posted originally on the CTH on July 14, 2023 | Sundance 

As Rupert Murdoch begins retreating from the failing Ron DeSantis his team is struggling and destabilized.  The Fox News panel spends entire segments dedicated to group coping and counseling without a clear direction on what is going to happen next.  {Direct Rumble Link}

The transparency of their struggle and visible anxiety is quite humorous, and while it is not my intention to deliver any credibility to their organizational mission, it is genuinely funny to watch them trying to cope.  They are completely flummoxed on what to do next, devoid of direction, feeling abandoned and confused as the quaking footprints of Godzilla Trump can be heard in the background crushing all the buildings and closing in. Furrowed brow Brian Kilmeade is particularly destabilized. WATCH:

The People’s President – Trump Campaign Raises $35 Million, With Average Contribution $34.20


Posted originally on CTH on July 6, 2023 | Sundance 

According to Trump campaign officials talking to Politico about recent fundraising, in the second quarter of this year the Trump campaign raised $35 million with an average contribution of $34.20 per donor.   Doing the math, that’s over a million small donors, average Americans, supporting President Trump.

This level of small donor fundraising reminds us of the summer of 2016 when former RNC Chairman Reince Priebus first saw the scale of small donors for President Trump and suddenly realized no political candidate before him had ever assembled such a massive level of grassroots support. Many of those donors contributing for the first time in their lives.

The reality of the “people’s president” is inside this jaw-dropping data-point.  While all other candidates need to fundraise from the grass roots only to water down the scale of the big donors behind them, President Trump builds his political empire from the bottom up.

Florida Governor and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis has the backing of the Wall Street, billionaires and hedge fund managers, a select small group of very affluent donors with massive financial resources.

Keep in mind, the RGA, also funded by those same financial elite, previously transferred $20 million to the DeSantis Florida construct in a proactive measure to fund the 2024 operation before the DeSantis managers transferred the money for use in the national campaign.

The $20 million in 2022 was a big *tell* indicating the proactive financial positioning. DeSantis ’24 was a long preplanned operation; the RGA money was a proactive positioning assist.

While the DeSantis network has more than $100 million amassed, almost all of it from big multinationals and corporate supporters; what they do not have are small donors.  Therein lies the difference.  Therein lies the fraud.  Yes, even in the financial data you will discover the scheme.

(Via Politico) – […] The former president’s joint fundraising committee raked in more than $35 million, according to a campaign official. That figure is about twice the $18.8 million the committee raised during the first quarter of the year. The joint fundraising committee is split between two entities: Trump’s official campaign, and his leadership political action committee, Save America.

The total amount raised is likely to further cement Trump’s status as the frontrunner for the Republican nomination. It also underscores that the twin indictments he’s facing — with the possibility of more to come — are mobilizing his base of online donors. The average donation was $34.20, according to his campaign. (read more)

When people ask me how I was so certain last year that Ron DeSantis was going to run in 2024, the $20 million from the Republican Governors Association is often the easiest reference point that doesn’t need a lot of explanation.

Ron DeSantis was polling in the high double digits ahead of Charlie Crist; he literally didn’t need campaign money – yet the RGA sent him $20 million, their biggest allocation of financial resources.

It didn’t make sense….. Unless, that allocation was essentially a pre-positioned fund for use in ’24.

Once you accept that reality, then you begin to see the footprints of control and intent.

The Sea Island donors to Ron DeSantis are the same big donors to the RGA.  The RGA pre-positioned the $20 million, because the RGA always knew the bigger goal, the hidden goal, that Ron DeSantis was always going to run for the ’24 nomination.  The money was a Big Club move that highlights their secretive operation.

♦ The Illusion of Choice – Once you realize the Republican Governors Association was in on the 2024 anti-Trump control operation all along, then you can look at what other influences the Republican governors would deploy as part of the agenda.  That’s where the changing of state primary dates, delegate distribution rules and control of electoral operations starts to surface.

This is what we are up against.

This is why I celebrate Ms. Laura Loomer and her efforts to stop the California GOP agenda.

Keep watching.
