Top officials with Gov. Ron DeSantis’ campaign made the case to a gathering of top donors opposed to Donald Trump on Friday that rival GOP candidate Nikki Haley could not defeat the former president in a head-to-head matchup.
If they wanted to stop Trump, they argued, the Florida governor remained their best bet.
In another presentation made to the same group, Haley’s team argued the opposite. DeSantis’ campaign had flatlined, they insisted, pointing to data that showed that the former UN ambassador was ascendent and, therefore, the logical choice for the anti-Trump crowd.
Haley’s team, according to a person familiar with the arguments they made, pointed to public and private polling that showed her ahead of DeSantis in key early voting states. They also noted that Haley’s campaign has more cash on hand than DeSantis, who is leaning heavily on an allied super PAC to pick up much of the tab.
“By every metric,” the person said, “Nikki is moving up and Ron is moving down. It IS a two person race: one man and one woman.”
The dueling presentations were delivered to a major Republican donor network gathering that includes hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer and investor Ken Griffin, two of the biggest contributors in the party. It was delivered amid growing concern in some quarters of the party that a Trump nomination is quickly becoming inevitable.

Anti-Trump Republicans hope the gathering, held on the Old Parkland Campus, a development owned by Crow, signals a NEW phase of the campaign, in which candidates begin to drop out and consolidate around a single Trump opponent.
Nevertrumper Reset #5.
Meatball and Nimrod begging for more spending money
I’d prefer General Jack D Ripper to these two.
If either wins the nomination, it will make Reagan’s 1984 blowout look like a close race, unless that person gets Trump’s endorsement.
The political whores meet their johns.
The more I see a candidate suck up to big money donors the less I want to vote for them ever.
Trump goes and speaks before the voters, these two clowns meet behind closed doors to plot how to screw over the voters.
They will be resetting for the remainder of their lives.
They’re good at pitching cow patties.
People who hate Trump seem to have various fantasies that drive them. I can’t analyze their fantasies; but that’s what they are surfing to nowhere.
I don’t mean those who merely oppose the man, just those driven by hatred of him.
The Romney-Ryan ‘Trump Hate Fest’ sounded like a GOP Shark Tank affair based upon the excerpt posted.
I’d like to see DeSantis and Tulsi Gabbard as running mates. She’s an Independent, so I’m not sure that would be possible.
Haley was good as UN ambassador though.
Why is “stopping Trump” so important to DeSantis? I thought he was just “a better version of Trump” but aligned with his MAGA policies.
