I have heard from Republican pollsters that DeSantis's money comes mostly from the super PACs, and he is very low in small donations from ordinary individuals. That is a sign of his weakness, as he has been spending tons of money (had to let go about a third of his staff), and the big donors are starting to wonder if they should give their money elsewhere, like Tim Scott or try to get Youngkin or Kemp to enter the race. (Youngkin and Kemp don't want to!) I've heard concerns that DeSantis's big donors have connections to China, like the billionaire Ken Griffin. He goes to elite fundraisers but refused to go to the Turning Point USA conference hosted by Charlie Kirk. Six thousand conservatives, mostly young people, were there, and DeSantis needed to go there and show he's not afraid to make his case, despite the fact that most were Trump supporters. (His support among young Republicans is low.) If you're afraid of the base, how can you go up against the Democrats? I gave him a donation early on but started looking more carefully when he flip-flopped on Ukraine. A huge disappointment for me! Vivek has been doing and saying the things that DeSantis should have been doing and saying. More and more DeSantis seems like just one more politician that is destined to disappoint me--and there have been many.

Do your research on DeSantis. I was a supporter until i discovered that he is not what he appears. Lots of corruption, back room deals, and typical establishment RINO tactics - controlled opposition. I was so disappointed. Just one of the issues with him -https://lauraloomer.substack.com/p/new-video-how-ron-desantis-appropriated#play

So you don't like Laura Loomer. Dispute the information with facts.

So she mistakenly used the wrong name. How does that prove that the information regarding the misappropriation of monies from PACs is false? PACs financials are public information.

Scott, Kemp and youngkin, all have connections to the swamp gop. Kemp even attended wef. He's a no.

I agree. I heard that the guy who runs DeSantis's Never Back Down PAC was in charge of Youngkin's winning campaign in Virginia.
