2024 Republican Primary should be fun

Donald Trump will definitely try to do a Grover Cleveland and run...Plus, campaigning is his only money maker now

You will have the same suspects from 2016 in Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich...The former two have sucked up to Trump since their bitter 2016 primary

The Moderates in Hogan, Phil Scott, and Charlie Baker will try their luck

Nickey Haley and Tim Scott will be in there

Most republican voters will not want Trump, but if the candidates don't pull a Buttigieg, Kloblacher, Warren, etc... and get out, then Trump will get the nod with a plurality

such a great record of the second highest number of Covid cases per capita in a deserted state. Deaths per capita will soon rise to the top too

Because, I don't think there will be enough voters to get any of them elected.

If he appears frail or definitely elderly, he stands no chance even if he does retain his rabid cultists.

I read somewhere a couple weeks ago that Presidents who don't get a second don't qualify because you have to be in the system for a certain amount of years to qualify. And 4 years isn't enough....lol

If hes out of the White House I'm not sure he can afford another one of those while hes having problems with his lungs.

an election infrastructure to streamline voting. Do it before midterms. Republicans can't win if they can't steal

And I disagree that "most Republican voters will not want Trump." If anything, this election's results prove that "the Republican Party is the Trump Party." And, frankly, since we didn't provide the blowout we were hoping for, there's no reason for them to change. Sure, a lot of Republican officeholders may wish Trump would just go away and let them run things, but I doubt the Republican rank-and-file even cares what they think, unless they can be helpful in advancing the Trump agenda.

If Trump is still alive, though, I think he gets the nomination. He owns the R party—now and for the foreseeable future.

It's personal for me now. Total war. Anyone who supported Trump in any way is irredeemable. I used to be into politics for fun but now this is total warfare.

Voluntarily giving up his Senate seat will give him a little bit of an outsider edge. He's generically/blandly handsome. For people not like us who know how he really operated, he has a bipartisan reputation which he built up with announcing his voting for Biden. If he's called out for that by the GOP, enough time will have passed with Trump gone and increasingly vilified (probably due to his constantly tweeting STILL) that he can make the case that he saw what Trump was doing to the republican party, and that he's someone who can bring both sides together, etc.
