Founder of DeSantis Super PAC Obliterates the Florida Governor – Then Backs Trump in Same Interview! (VIDEO)
The Gateway Pundit ^ | September 4, 2023 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 09/04/2023 8:59:17 AM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

Republican Strategist John Thomas, the FOUNDER of the DeSantis Super PAC just went on News Nation and dropped a bomb! Thomas told News Nation that DeSantis lacks all of the qualities that make a good candidate – charm, charisma, discipline, being likeable – and he is now backing Trump.

John Thomas: I, along with a lot of grassroots supporters and major donors, said, okay, let’s draft DeSantis, encourage him to run for president, because we think he’s got the stuff.

Except there was one problem, Adrian. It’s that when Governor DeSantis did end up launching, he had a failure to launch, and he’s never recovered. And while he may be a great governor, he’s not ready for the national stage, and we don’t think that he’s ready to beat Joe Biden.

And on the flip side, Adrian, we think that Donald Trump, in spite of all of his legal challenges, has honestly run nearly a flawless effort with strategic ad spends against his opponent, DeSantis, good messaging choices that really I hadn’t seen in 2016 or 2020. So for all of those reasons, we all reversed course to get behind Donald Trump, not just because we think he’s going to be the nominee, but honestly, we think he’s the best person to beat Joe Biden in the general.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And yet he still lives rent free in your heads. I still want to know why you only Trumpers are so afraid of RDS?

Isn’t he like 30 points behind?

I’m shocked they didn’t switch to Pence, the balloon magnet head.

“Only-Trumpers” is what neverTrumpers say when they can’t think of a good comeback. LOL

“DeSantis lacks all of the qualities that make a good candidate – charm, charisma, discipline, being likeable.” This is my impression of him too. But that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be good, even outstanding, once in office. He may have jumped in too soon, perhaps at the urging of anyone-but-Trump supporters. He’s clearly dead in the water this time around, but is he permanently damaged?

This John Thomas guy was a fraud from the get go. That "Ron to the Rescue" Super PAC loudly claimed to have 50 million in donations and when the books were opened up, the number was more like two hundred bucks and some dryer lint.

Either Thomas set the whole thing up to fail as an op to make DeSantis look bad, or he is an incompetent amoral grifter just looking for the next grift, or both.

Support Trump, support DeSantis, support Ramaswany, support whoever you want, but for the love of all that's good in the world stop feeding the grifters any attention.

ouch!!!!

Thomas' "Ron to the Rescue" super pac was famously the one that DeSantis himself told people not to donate to and that he had no affiliation with back in November.

This was never a DeSantis super pac.

at this point of a failed candidacy, “What difference does it make”

Time to bleach bit that PAC “like with a cloth”

Maybe so. But only Trumper is not an insult. RDS and his supporters never go nasty and vile as Trump and his supporters do.

LOL!!! LIES!!!

Wasn’t DeSantis’ PAC. The “Ron to the Rescue” PAC was without his permission. It appears some California sleazy guy raised $50 million off DeSantis’ name. Dirtbag will fit in nicely with Laura Loomer.

actually I don’t expect that 45 will ever again actually be CinC. Because it’s obvious who the deepstate is terrified of to ever again see him in the WH. They will stop at nothing now that they have perfected the art of the steal.

What I enjoy is his unique way of deposing and exposing deepstate actors and candidates.

I mean...technically doesn’t he have to distance himself from all super pacs? Wouldn’t it just make him a cheater, and thus a Democrat, if he didn’t?

Stop and think where he would have been if his inflated hubris and big-money brokers hadn't convinced him to run for president. If he had remained loyal to Trump, he may have been his VP choice. Now he is sitting on top of a huge pile of national political wreckage. He can rebound, but only after continuing to work on building his record as the best governor in the country. As I have repeatedly said, he's no self-made multimillionaire so when the outside money drys up it's all over.

The American people find loyalty to be a positive trait.

Too many people let their egos become over-inflated.

Maybe not damaged forever but no one should ever assume hrs MAGA or an anti establishment candidate. The idea that he can run an insurgency candidacy is dead but not only insurgents win (clearly an unfortunate reality).

The clown used DeSantis name to form his super PAC. His PAC had no affiliation with DeSantis. This California political hack sleaze raised over $50 million off DeSantis’ name. I am sure he paid himself well. Personally, I wouldn’t go by what this man says.
