2024 GOP Presidential Race (2 Viewers)

[SteveSBrickNJ]

Many of Trump's endorsed candidates did not do well on Nov. 8th.
*
Gov. Ron DeSantis DID do well.
He won convincingly.
Yet in this OP's opinion, Donald Trump is an egomaniac who is seemingly incapable of putting "Party over Self"
Trump has ZERO chance of being elected our next president.
In my opinion, if Trump would just shut up and go away (fat chance of that)...but "if" Trump did that, Gov. Ron DeSantis would have a CHANCE to be a formidable candidate for President in 2024.
Here is an interesting article on this topic...

Should Chris Christie drop out?

Christie faces growing GOP pressure to drop out: ‘He’s dividing the vote’

Pressure is growing on former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to drop out of the GOP primary in order to clear a path for either Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis or former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, as Republicans look for a viable alternative to former President Trump. Christie has largely centered...

If he's dividing the vote, he's doing his job.

I must admit that considering that fact that we have not yet experienced the results of the Iowa Caucus, the field of GOP candidates is already reasonably small.

Result of funding. People aren’t funding pure futility.

Vivek Ramaswamy and the "great replacement theory".

Defending Trump, Ramaswamy Rattles Off Right-Wing Conspiracy Theories

Vivek Ramaswamy called the Jan. 6 attack an “inside job,” claimed that the 2020 election was stolen by “big tech” and suggested that the “great replacement theory” was Democratic policy.

This is sooooo on brand, isn’t it? Cheat to win.

Voter fraud! Trying to rig the election!

Sorry, Steve, but this should be disqualifying, imo.

No. It is DISAPPOINTING but not disqualifying.

Above was my first post. Now I've come back to my post to add:
...............and realistically, she has to do what she has to do.
We already have a Chris Christie in the race. That lane is taken.
I don't blame her.

 

[brandon]

It only appears that I am changing course but that is an illusion.
My post that confuses you is not about me...but about the political reality.
I would have wished Manchin and Cheyney were already in it.
If they wanted to be the next President....they should be ALREADY in it.
I'm just playing the role of a political observer.

Yet for me personally, which is something totally separate and irrelevant....but for me personally I will not vote for Biden or Trump.
That hasn't changed.
If you've been paying attention, I am hoping against hope that Nikki Haley is the GOP nominee.
That does not seem likely according to most people, but it IS possible.
It's not over until its over.

If it were Trump, Biden, and Cheney as third party, would you vote Cheney?

Yes. If Nikki Haley was not an option and I was faced with your hypothetical choices of Trump, Biden or Cheney.... Yes...I would vote for Cheney.

Obviously you have to decide what you will support. But this plus her willingness to pardon Trump, well, that’s too much for me, pretending I would even consider her.

You are not her target audience.
It's all good.

Ironic, a brown guy with an Indian name talking about replacement theory.

They are just trying to out-rightwing each other. And the sad and scary thing is, no matter what they say, especially Trump. GOP'ers will cheer and vote for that shirt.
