Analyst Claims “The Bushes” Are Running DeSantis’ Presidential Campaign
(Steve Watson) Political analyst Mark Simone claimed this weekend that the Bush family is helping run Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign, and that the so called ‘Architect’ of George W. Bush’s successful campaigns Karl Rove is also on board.
“The Bushes are all tangled up with [DeSantis],” Simone said during a segment on Fox News Saturday.
“Bush who can raise him a billion dollars,” Simone continued, adding that “Karl Rove will be the coach on the field, I think he’s been advising him.”
“That’s why DeSantis has been getting a little better every week. They’re all very smart,” Simone further stated, adding “You saw what they did for Jeb Bush.”

However, when it comes to taking on Trump, Simone noted that “I don’t think they’re ready for Donald Trump.”
The claim prompted Trump’s son Don Jr. to label DeSantis “a Trojan Horse for the RINO establishment.”

Meanwhile, reports suggest that Trump himself is blacklisting anyone who works for the Florida Governor in an effort to shut down DeSantis’ campaign altogether.
An unnamed source close to Trump told Real Clear Politics that “It’s a time for choosing,” adding that “if you work for Ron DeSantis’ presidential race, you will not work for the Trump campaign or in the Trump White House.”

Over the weekend at a rally in Waco, Trump blasted DeSantis, stating “When a man comes to me with tears in his eyes, he’s had almost nothing in the polls,” referencing DeSantis’ 2018 gubernatorial run, adding “He’s at almost nothing, he’s got no cash.”
Trump continued, “And I said, I can’t give you an endorsement. There’s no way you can when you’re dead. I said, let’s give it a shot, Ron. I endorsed him. He became like a rocket ship. Within one day the race was over.”
