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.

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.
I seriously doubt DeSantis is running this ****show.
Relaunch 4.0.
That is getting up in John 2004 Kerry territory.
The problem with ‘relaunch’ and ‘reintroduce’ is that it is still the same person, just new packaging.
Was disappointed in Ron’s election answer of late. Just media bias alone stole the election come on Ron don’t be a meatball.
Gee sundunce, I live in Florida and haven’t noticed your cited problems: “the abandoned and collapsing state of Florida.”
Maybe they can stage Ron trying to catch a football, ordering a Swiss cheesesteak in Philly, and wearing a NASA space suit.
Don’t forget driving a tank!
Or having a fight with a killer rabbit.
It’s good that to DeSantis is making necessary personnel changes. If Trump had actually done that his first term wouldn’t have been such a catastrophe and would still be president right now.
Rhonda’s incompetence at managing his campaign should show just by itself that he isn’t qualified to be president. And that’s not considering any of his terrible policy stances or obsessions.
Reality... 
No Florida is fine. DeSantis does a good job as governor.
However his campaigning so far has been very poor. Not even close to former runner-ups like Ted Cruz.
That’s likely the reason he’s polling poorly. The GOP base may think they can’t afford to nominate someone who doesn’t campaign well, even if he would be a good president.
Let's look @ what you said...
Perhaps a devise revise and amend on your part would be in order.
I believe your intent was to have the impetus placed on staff changes during 45's term in office instead of during his initial run for office...
But that's just me.
Except there's some crazy man swinging a huge wooden stick at you.
OUCH, ()*()! That hurt.
He elevated Fauci. He lost the election. End of story. I accept your apology.
Those same “personnel” in the Trump administration would be part of a DeSantis administration too because any Repuke hired from DC is a Swamp Rat, and those same Swamp Rats are in charge of the DeSantis campaign!!!
DeSantis is done. Donalds will benifet.
