The Donald Trump campaign continues to deliver eulogies for opponent Ron DeSantis’ 2024 effort, including a new list of “relevant questions considering the current circumstances faced by his campaign.”
Those circumstances are dire according to Trump consultants Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, who argue to DeSantis donors, “If you still collectively pour millions of dollars into the failing Ron DeSantis campaign, you can’t say you weren’t warned.”
“Every public poll now shows Ron DeSantis trailing President Trump by a significant margin. Senior campaign officials have even confirmed this disparity,” the memo reads.
The consultants also contend that DeSantis may have to end a “national campaign” operation soon, citing reporting from NBC News to argue “that a shift needs to happen because it is clear to activists and donors that the current operation is not working. Ron DeSantis needs to signal to them that he recognizes this fact before any future poll shows him falling from second place nationally or in an early state.”
Citing donor disaffection and noting that DeSantis backers may be defecting, LaCivita and Wiles say “the full extent of disorganization within the DeSantis campaign is now coming to light after public filings revealed that the campaign is spending unsustainably on a bloated payroll and not raising sufficient funds necessary for a long-term campaign.”
They go on to pose some questions in Monday’s memo.
“What exactly are the 93 individuals on the campaign payroll doing? Can you provide assurance to SuperPAC donors that Jeff Roe is not claiming $0.68 for each dollar spent, as his private investment information suggests? What is the campaign’s expenditure breakdown, and can you provide the return on investment for direct mail and online fundraising operations?”
“DeSantis is now admitting his post-Midterm polling numbers were a ‘sugar high,'” the consultants note. “Were you as donors aware that the Governor and his team thought this?”
That wasn’t the only Trump world DeSantis diss in the last 24 hours. On Sunday, “Make America Great Again” compared the DeSantis campaign to a forgotten Republican footnote: former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, whose 2012 run didn’t take off.

The Rhonda Campaign can provide every excuse under the sun for why the Rhonda Campaign has had opposite its intended effect, but we all know the reason: Everybody Hates Rhonda. If the Rhonda campaign wants to do better, it needs to find a decent candidate.

For a second there the headline had me.
Given the “state” of today’s GOP I wondered:
“The State of The [White] Race”?
Like a (aptly named) white paper title.
Subtitled, “THEY are coming to replace us.”

Good evening America,
The Ronald and I, Earl Pitts American, dont believe in early polling and anyone that does is a simple minded leftist tool.
That being said The Ronald and I, Earl Pitts American, find The Donald’s child like commentary to be disrespectful to himself.
The Ronald and I are thick skined and words dont hurt us. However with The Donald disrepecting himself it has us concerned to the point we are withdrawing our generous “consulation prize” we were offering to The Donald to be our administration’s Border Czar. We are now in talks with Jimmy Petronis to determine if he will fill the vacent Border Czar position in our Presidental administration.
My, Earl Pitts American’s extensive political experience tells me The Ron Desantis campaign shall prevail while the Donald Trump campaign will fail.
We cut to a live feed of a Desantis Rally:
The beloved, and good looking, Earl Pitts American – warms up the croud and encourages croud praticipation with a trivia question. Earl randomally selects a young tow-headed lad who raised his hand out in the croud of spectaters.
Trivia Question:
Who lost the Presidental race back in the year 2020?
Yes you down in front – whats your name son?
OK little Timmy Tompkins from Nashville – whats your answer – thats right little Timmy – Donald Trump was the looser. And little Timmy one more question – do we choose loosers to run again?
Thats right little Timmy – No America would never pick a looser for President. Thank you little Timmy.
So there you have it America, proof positive from the mouth of an honest cute tow-headed American lad that the Desantis/Pitts team will move into the White House after the 2024 elections. A total “Norman Rockwell” moment America.
Thank you for your un-wavering support America,
Earl Pitts American

Well Earl, all you have on the R side is losers to choose from so maybe it’s time to go back to the pond and start fishing for some more talent. Better yet, stop trying to drag the country back to 1950.
This was all Ron’s to lose. Just like his buddy Elon, he managed to put on a clinic on how to lose in the quickest and most efficient manner. It’s almost like they aren’t as smart as people seem to think they are or something.

I would love for Trump to hear rumors that Queen Rhonda’s stooges in Florida had been helping DOJ with the documents investigations. That Queen Rhonda knows that their (the royal plural) only real chance is for Trump to fall.
That might get the rhetoric warmed up and more entertaining.
