So fucking pathetic.

DeSantis meets with Trump to help with 2024 election

MIAMI — Gov. Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump seem ready to put their feud from the Republican presidential primary aside — for real this time.

The two Florida Republicans met in Miami Sunday morning to talk about how they could work together during the general election, according to half a dozen people familiar with the meeting who were granted anonymity to speak freely.

The meeting was first reported by the Washington Post.

The get-together was arranged by Florida real-estate broker Steve Witkoff, several people confirmed to POLITICO. A Trump campaign official said it was a “good meeting set at the request of Gov. DeSantis.”

Three DeSantis donors texted POLITICO to say that they thought the move for the two men to make peace was “smart.”

DeSantis told his most loyal donors during a retreat in Hollywood this month that he would be fundraising for Trump’s campaign, POLITICO was first to report. The Republican governor proved himself to be a prodigious fundraiserduring his 2022 reelection campaign, raising a record sum in excess of $200 million. He then parlayed much of that money toward a political action committee for a failed presidential run.

“It’s a great development and makes perfect sense for Trump, Desantis and all Republicans,” said Roy Bailey, who was one of three finance chairs for DeSantis’ presidential campaign. “Gov. DeSantis had a really strong volunteer finance team and if we could plug that in and help Trump then that’s what we need to do — and want to do. It’s important to all get together and row in the same direction.”

The pivotal turn of events could help to restore the two men’s relationship after a particularly brutal primary, where Trump often personally attacked the governor and repeatedly tried to show him up in Florida, the state they both call home. Making amends also could help to elevate DeSantis’ profile, including the role he’ll play in the 2024 general election and the GOP convention in Milwaukee.

MAGA/GQP love to throw around the "beta cuck" tag rather indiscriminately and (almost always) incorrectly. DeSantis is the textbook definition of it in this case. I wonder if he offered up Casey to him to sweeten the deal.

I don't have a serious issue with DeSantis using state resources to campaign himself for higher office or re-election (past cycle).  Cost of doing business.  Same with a sitting President.  They still need their security detail and comms team and all the technology and safety expenditures because being cut off or injured, would cost much more in disruption to services/chain-of-command/etc.  Price we pay for Democracy.  

What I don't understand is DeSantis using those same state resources to campaign for someone else.

I know "woke" is the pejorative of the day, but the idea that "unwoke" is therefore a badge of honor is hilarious.  "We're asleep and we're proud of it!!!"

Well, is the shark "woke" because it likes to attack people on boats powered by alternative energy?  Or just ill-tempered?

So Souf Florida is flooding (and there was flooding in Sarasota I think as well) and the water is just not going anywhere. Why?

Oh I'm sure small government DeSantis absolutely won't try to suckle at the teet of the Big Evil Federal Government to get some disaster relief. Florida's obviously got it covered.

exactly.. why stick Floridians with $205 million worth of stormwater and wastewater projects when you can get every American to pay for it in disaster relief and recovery funds.

"It's Joe Biden's fault that I vetoed critical infrastructure spending in the state that I govern, Florida. Now it's Biden's responsibility to spend federal tax dollars to clean up this mess. Because woke Joe Biden is bad for America and Florida! "

They'll eat that up while having the Early Bird dinner at The Villages.

Florida a spanish name that is clearly 'male'   jfc  so Florido now?

On a side note, shorty has been doing all sorts of weird shit to win back good will.  A conservative leaning friend who lives in the Keys said all the locals are pissed about his special one day pre mini lobster season.   Something no one wants, no asked for, and will punish a deep red part of the state.  I think even the kool aid drinkers are starting to see him for who he is.
