Roger Stone has NO PULL here. He’s a gnat. Ron DeSantis dominates Republican politics in FL and is laughing at this ridiculous stunt.

Stone is a fool and has delusions of grandeur.

Empty threat. But sign that only the most MAGA candidates need apply to the GOP. Belief in Q is a plus.

Remember, however, that most Republicans and a good number of independents believe that the Democratic Party is now taken over by socialists. So they may still vote for the racist/religious/gun rights candidates.

Roger can’t stand the fact that the entire GQP has pretty much adopted his “ratfuck the system” schtick, and now he’s just a bitter and increasingly out of touch old man who doesn’t get any credit for it.

This is great news, actually. It means Trumpers may try and take over the Libertarian party, because the Republican party is all RINOs now. It will split the vote and neither side will ever win an election again.

Please run, Roger, please!

Just watching would be such fun!

A third party run would require 144,419 valid signatures of registered voters, which ain’t happening for Roger Stone no matter how many of them also get to bang his wife.

Some of you guy’s are underestimating DeSantis. His Republican support in FL is rock solid, and all the Roger Stones in the world aren’t gonna siphon off enough votes to keep him from winning re-election down here.

This isn’t a “get your popcorn” ready situation. This isn’t the start of some schism in the FL GOP. This isn’t even a speed bump on the governor’s road towards the national stage. Buckle the f up, because he’s your likely front runner in 2024.

Stone is grotesque to the point of fascination. Does anybody know where he got his money?

I have not yet given up hope that Roger will be otherwise occupied before the next election, and barred from public office by one or another of the Amendments to the Constitution.

Best case scenario: Real-life Kilkenny cats.
Worst case: Not even going to think about it.

What the fuck is this shit? Is every 1970’s and 80’s loser out for new relevance? This asshole IS NOT going to do shit that threaten DeSantis…not a damn thing. He lives at the precipice of indictment and avoids it only as long as he keeps his masters happy. DeSantis is one of those masters.

It is not likely that any GOP’er in Florida wants to audit anything. They’ve been cheating down here for years…
