The Apprentice: 2024 Republican primaries

[Generalissimo]

If they are not careful they will become the party of QAnon whackjobs.

something something barn door

something something horse

I'm referring to the Republican debates with all their men around her to shout her down.

Trump actually did well in that one to make them all look like fools and come out king fool.

Republican primary should be like hunger games, last one alive is the nominee.

Republican primary should be like hunger games, last one alive is the nominee.

And then they kill him.

Perfect.

The jostling to become the heir to Trumpism has begun in earnest. Watch Ted Cruz spend the next four years trying to get his tongue an extra centimetre up there.

 

[iBeng]

I hope Ted Cruz runs because then we get to see someone his intellect getting destroyed.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Trump, Tucker or DeSantis will be the nominee.

Mitt Romney is positioning himself as the 'modern centrist' candidate that would win votes back from democrat voters.

After the post-Trump bloodletting the GOP may choose to avoid lurching further towards the conspiratorial right so they can start appealing to minorities and urban voters again.

If Romney is the nominee, the GOP gets slaughtered.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Trump, Tucker or DeSantis will be the nominee.

DeSantis? The same guy who has let the virus run rampant across Florida?

 

[spinynorman]

Sounds like conservatives are totally ready to come back down to earth and put up a more traditional candidate.

Waiting for our Salazar - Portugal's 20th-century philosopher-king may be the ideal model of a leader for our times.

 

[jerry springer]

Cotton, DeSantis, Cruz, Haley,and Rubio. Maybe throw Greg Abbott in there , I cant see hawley getting a sniff now

I expect trump in a few months to say he is running, start doing rally's for two years purely for fundraising purposes then to pull out with 6 months to go

Watching them murder each other will be delightful

 

[Hoops]

Hope it's not Cruz. The most slimiest slime ball in a slime pit on planet slime. I'd rather Trump, any of them.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

I wonder if Marjorie Taylor Greene will run.

Spot on, that's why i'm putting a bankroll on him.

I think she’d get slaughtered if they put her up.

The “base” isn’t that big.

Sure, in a presidential election. She could finish top three in a primary.

Agreed, I'm very glad Trump rather than Cruz won in 2016. Trump was at least funny and mostly incompetent. Cruz would have nuked someone.

What a choice that was between those 2.

I wanted Trump to get the nomination at the time, now wish he hasn’t.

There’s no cult of personality around Cruz.

Nikki Haley now distancing herself from Trump...

“When I tell you I’m angry, it’s an understatement,” Haley hissed, leaning forward as she spoke. “Mike has been nothing but loyal to that man. He’s been nothing but a good friend of that man. … I am so disappointed in the fact that [despite] the loyalty and friendship he had with Mike Pence, that he would do that to him. Like, I’m disgusted by it.”

“We need to acknowledge he let us down,” she said. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”

If all the other primary candidiates will be jostling for the Trump base, I guess it makes to strike out and be the non-Trump candidiate. Although I wonder how far she'll get if she shuns Trump completely. I imagine she'll probably walk some of this back whenever it suits her.

Nikki Haley’s Time for Choosing

The 2024 hopeful can’t decide who she wants to be—the leader of the post-Trump GOP or a “friend” to the president who tried to sabotage democracy.

Pompeo has to be the dark horse in all of this

 

[1990crow]

No doubt Trump will be the 2024 candidate. Not getting impeached a second time and he has all the ammunition he needs to fuel conspiracy.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

Not sure he can be a dark horse when his ambition is so naked.

I wonder, though, what exactly is his constitutency within the GOP?

No doubt Trump will be the 2024 candidate. Not getting impeached a second time and he has all the ammunition he needs to fuel conspiracy.

I think there is at least some doubt.

 

[Al Heimer]

Pompeo has to be the dark horse in all of this

Doubt he'd win one GOP primary.

Trump will be the nominee unless he is somehow excluded by the Senate or convicted of a felony.

Nikki Haley is Murdoch's appointment.

Hot on their heels is Pompeo.

None of the other Trumps would stand a chance (though they could still win the nomination).

If Trump is disqualified, and he wants Don Jnr to win the nomination, the first two things he will do is bad-mouth Haley and bad-mouth Pompeo.

Nobody outside the Trump circle is even a remote chance. They own the party, all the sensible people have left the building.

The only way Romney is the nominee is if he runs third party to stop Trump winning.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

Hardly surprising at this stage.
