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.
on that note, I wish Ronny will have as much success as his peer Jeb.
Small Donor Contribution Details
Soros has many telephone books from every state?.
I’m leaning Trump. But any criticism I have against DeSantis won’t be based on information from the New York Slimes.
Anyone denying that absolutely should not be trusted here or anywhere else.
Suspicious Cat is on the case...
Please clap
DeSantis is not different than Jeb or Romney.
It’s a standard issue letter. Trump’s campaign got the same thing.

It doesn’t matter. No one is going to watch a debate when Trump will not be there. I don’t blame Trump one bit considering it’s FauxNews and Bret Baer running the debate. Baer is a biased piece of chit and he gets paid well by the Murdocks to be so.
Please clap.
He didn’t bend any rules. Before he was governor, the rules were already established that a state official could run for federal office and not have to resign first. The restriction involves running for state office in or out of state. They passed a bill to clarify it which the media made a big deal of.
Desantis is finished. Been finished for a couple of months now, if not more. Desantis’s only hope relies on Trump being incarcerated.
Yeah sure Jan
maybe because all those small donations were made to his gov campaign and since that rolled that money over to federal race, they didn’t want to see the older dates of the donations?
desantis likely didn’t collect enough with out his roll over money to qualify in time.
FReepers may agree or disagree with Sundance.
But in the case of Ron DeSantis, Sundance was among the very first who was questioning DeSantis running for President.
It appears Sundance was correct in his hunches re DeSantis.
