Team DeSantis and Team Haley Pitch Themselves to the Never Trump Billionaires During Donor Strategy Meeting in Texas

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says he can beat Trump 😂…. Nikki Haley says, no, DeSantis is a diminishing meatball now; only her neocon curriculum vitae is strong enough to go against Godzilla Trump. Team DeSantis scoffs… Team Haley sneers…. Can you imagine being a billionaire stupid enough to subject themselves to this nonsense?

The R.A.T coalition (Republicans Against Trump) is so desperate, they held a strategy session with DeSantis and Haley to decide which one of them would carry the banner of most approved & purchased candidate. And the candidates each thought this was a good thing. 😂🤣😂 I just do not understand this level of goofy dissonance.

(TEXAS) – 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.

[…] 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.

Real estate developer Harlan Crow organized the conference in Dallas with an eye toward helping consolidate the field of Republican candidates. Many anti-Trump donors have been eager to winnow down the race to a one-on-one contest with Trump, who is leading in the polls against a splintered field. (read more)

In the best-case scenario, together these two knuckleheads have maybe 20% support.

So, the billionaires are meeting with the hopeless losers and deciding which loser should get the majority of their financial support? Think about the stupidity of that!

These rich people, together with the RNC and RGA, are trying to cling to the figment of something that no longer exists.

They are totally detached from the reality that surrounds them.

I would chose Nikki over DeSantis.

He’s out there trying to save his campaign atop the bodies of dead Israelis. He’s pathetic. His campaign is grotesque.

Haley, DeSantis and the other 7 dwarves have been a non-stop grift operation.

It is hilarious seeing these anti-American billionaires light their money on fire. They will never defeat Trump because Republicans can see that these oligarchs hate them. Plenty of people don’t think Trump is all that great, but they realize he’s far more pro-American than these globalist billionaires.

"I would chose Nikki over DeSantis."

I wouldn't. Even if Trump was dead, I'd write his name in for President.

"It was delivered amid growing concern in some quarters of the party that a Trump nomination is quickly becoming inevitable."

This meeting is actually pro-Trump: DeSantis isn't just going to fold his tent, and Haley, who has always been a victim of the last-person-she-talked-to, is puffed up with the hot air that has been blown up her skirt, when all she has done is inherit Meatball's hard 15% ceiling.

This RINO circle-j@rk meeting -- as explicitly stated in the article -- is to get one of these two dunces to drop out and fund a single moron; yet the takeaway is that both camps utilized this meeting to make contact with RINOs-in-waiting PAC numbnuts that like to burn money more than the freaking Joker! Ain't neither one of them dropping out! Schadenfreude!

I will not vote for a candidate who is not a natural born citizen.

Nor a RINO

Nor a globalist

Nor a war monger

Nikki Harpy fails all those tests.

Paul Singer and Ken Griffen are two uber-wealthy de-racinated Democrat Jews who would do anthing to screw up the Conservative movement. Know your enemy!

“Team DeSantis and Team Haley Pitch Themselves to the Never Trump Billionaires During Donor Strategy Meeting in Texas”

minor poll number shifts for these two minor candidates amount to no more than two deck chairs sliding about on the Titanic after it rammed into an iceberg ... both sliding chairs look pretty much the same, and they’re both guaranteed to go down with the ship no matter how much they slide about ...

HALEY IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT

SHE KNOWS THAT

SHE IS RUNNING A MASSIVE FRAUD—COLLECTING FUNDS IN A CAMPAIGN SHE HAS NO BUSINESS EVEN BEING IN.

As belivers we are called to forgive, so I will forgive DeSantis personally. But I will NEVER forgive him using Israel for his pond scum attack on President Trump.

Clearly a lot more than you. In fact, why don’t you just go over there and ask him yourself keyboard warrior.

Furthermore, go ahead and give me the link to your very successful, well respected conservative website you have been running for years.

I’ll wait..............
