Who has the guts to make a principled stand? Kasich says he will only run if he thinks he can win. Sasse is a younger version of Jeff Flake. Kasich and Sasse are both unprincipled and weak. They dont have what it takes to run. So who runs? Does Jeb Bush take another shot? Who is out there that is bold and courageous enough to mount a primary?

(11,655 posts)...that doesn't seem terrified of the Trump base. The entire GOP realizes that these are the fools that have been responding to their dogwhistles for 40 years... Trump just went and started saying it out loud and now they are ashamed.

(5,559 posts)Rubio seems to be working his way back to center, the open letter he just published on restoring the dignity of work had some fairly decent points and was even somewhat pro union
I'd much rather Kasich though, Rubio only seems moderate compared to where the rest of his party has gone.
Dark horse could be Hogan of Maryland, who has been consistently Anti-Trump and is well regarded in his own state
