Very interesting article from
The
Hill: Early Republicans lining up for 2024 run.
I note: I read the article and thought of the old “Laugh-in” TV Show skit.
It starred Arte Johnson as “Wolfgang” along with guest star James Garner:
#1 Donald J. Trump:
Leads in the 2024 presidential race, but he won't run if he thinks he will
lose.
#2 Marco Rubio: He had a pretty good four years.
He mostly stayed out of Trump's firing line, made no significant gaffes, and
kept a solid conservative voting record.
#3 Tom Cotton: Like Rubio he has been cautious
about Trump's post-election antics. He avoids getting sucked into the mercurial
and turbulent activities of the former President.
#4 Josh Hawley: He made quite a name for himself
in a short time by mostly infuriating liberals, bashing big tech. He figured
out the gravity of the GOP is more anti-establishment and populist than ever.
#5 Ted Cruz: He gave Trump the toughest run in
2016. Tagging along with Hawley on the Electoral College challenge was a bad
bit of “me-too politics.” But, he bailed from his state during the Texas
freeze and blackout.
Possible Contenders: Gov.
DeSantis (FL) (above picture ???); Gov. Noem (SD); Sen. Rick Scott (FL); Gov. Abbott (TX); and Sen.
Tim Scott (SC).
Two probably out of
the running:
Former VP Mike Pence: He now knows what blind
loyalty to Trump gets you: Nothing, nada, nil, zilch, zero, and goose egg.
Former UN Amb. & former SC Gov. Nikki Haley: It's cruel but true, she made one mistake (huge one) and that was all it took to wreck her presidential dreams: Being critical of Trump never works.
My 2 cents: I expect this
list to grow as time goes by. Trump also says his family heirs are lined up and
ready, too: Don Jr., Ivanka (his fav), or even Eric.
Just kidding – the nation would never stand for anyone from that trio, or not even Jared Kushner.
The GOP field is wide
open and will be just as Wolfgang said “Very interesting” so, stay tuned – it
ought to be a hoot and holler.
Thanks for stopping by.
