By Bernie Dennler III - October 15, 2018
Rep. Ron DeSantis racist comments are not keeping wealthy conservative donors away from his Florida campaign for governor.
Republican Rep. Ron DeSantis has made headlines for all the wrong reasons lately in his campaign for governor of Florida.
First, he kicked off the general election by suggesting voters would monkey this up if they elect his African-American opponent, Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum.
Then, DeSantis was revealed to be a moderator of an aggressively bigoted Facebook group and the author of a book excusing slavery.
Despite this, super-rich Republican donors are embracing DeSantis. His struggling campaign against Gillum got a major financial boost this month, thanks to millions of dollars in contributions from wealthy individuals.

(4,066 posts)Frankly, the way they vote and their policies pretty much ARE all about letting the people they consider the US "untouchables" just die off. These QuiverFull idiots are pumping out little Jon and Kate Plus 8 robots who can live, work, and die as disposable for the GOP. The GOP loves them for it. Their backwards home schooling and authoritarian bent is perfect. They're so easily replaceable.
