Ron DeSantis’ Hamptons fundraiser flops — while RFK Jr., Trump rake it in -(cancelled 2 because of no interest)

Ron DeSantis scrapped two Hamptons fundraisers last weekend due to a lack of interest

As On The Money previously reported, DeSantis had cut in half — from $6,600 per person to $3,300 — the price to attend the July 20 fundraiser in Southampton.

One source blamed Chele Farley, a failed congressional candidate, who promoted herself as the point person behind DeSantis’ cocktail reception.“She cheapened the event by sending it out to everyone on her email list … she scared people away,”

Worse yet, the campaign canceled plans for two other events because “they couldn’t find hosts,” a source with knowledge told On The Money.

Didn't hear about this earlier....

As a counter point to some of the desantis supporters/nevertrumpers seemingly almost happy and gloating over continued lawfare against Trump

desantis' campaign isn't going to make it.

It was a clever idea - no, a VERY clever idea - to construct a synthetic candidate who would become known for attacking "wokeism" while never indicating his fundamental alignment with the interests of the Deep State - "donor community" alliance.

But when RDS referred to the Ukraine war as a "border dispute", his owners yanked his leash so hard that he immediately took off for Jerusalem to sign an unconstitutional anti-first amendment bill - in a foreign country, no less - to demonstrate his loyalty to his donors.

Plus (based on a brief encounter on 7/4/23) - he's not a very good retail candidate.

I think he's done.

Interest rates are high — but nor for DeSantis.

If you’re conservative and the Hamptons love you it’s not a plus.It’s elite Dem-land.

RFK JR. said he would sign an assult wepons ban, that makes him an enemy of the Republic.

The Hamptons are notoriously lib-land Dems. Why even try it there?

Lawfare may or may not take out Trump.

But the DeSantis campaign has been so inept, that he will not be the beneficiary.

desanctimonious campaign is likely broke...

Lots of old big money up there still, too.

Time to show some leadership Ron and bow out for the good of the country. Go arm and arm with Trump and your career would be back.

“RFK JR. said he would sign an assult wepons ban, that makes him an enemy of the Republic.”

Outside of maybe one or two issues. RFJ Jr. is a typical left wing Democrat on the other issues. He is DOA in my book.

““Donors aren’t coming to his events because they don’t see any return on investment.””

and there you have the rationale for the desantis candidacy in a nutshell ...
