The Apprentice: 2024 Republican primaries

[Spearman]

Interesting things can happen at the national party nominating conventions. I'm still in the camp that everyone is waiting for what happens to Trump, but that is looking more and more like worse case scenario for the Dems. If there is a Dem rebellion that succeeds and leaves the convention with momentum, they've a good chance IMHO.
Anyway, it's going to be a long spring and summer may bring changes.

Interesting things can hypothetically happen, but probably won't. A Democratic rebellion against Biden doesn't really have numbers anywhere even at the popular level (Michigan would have been where it might have shown up in primaries, but didn't). The Democrat party is more united than the GOP for sure, but while Haley ended up running a strong and defiant campaign, Trump, and fear of Trump and the Trump supporters, still dominates that party.
Bottom line unless Trump or Biden either die or get totally disabled (beyond their already clear impairments) they are the nominees and I don't see anything changing that.

Basically what will happen in the civil service and government departments should he win in November. If you're not an insane MAGA Trumpian see ya later.

That's going to lead to chaos for the party and no way the staff who left are going to be happy. You can't engineer that level of division and dissent without some serious long term costs for them in the future.

2 years ago I said Noem, now thinking it will be Tim Scott

I would say Pence got him the Christian vote, he doesn't need that now and he would be after race and not religion.

Tim Scott would be who it would be.

Tim Scott ticks both the racial box, and the conservative trapped in the closet box

Likely. Tim has certainly spent enough of the last few months with his tongue firmly ensconced in dear leader's arse.
