(6,377 posts)He's at or near the top of most polling for the GOP nomination.
Pence and Haley, good luck. The entire MAGA base hates them.

(5,559 posts)He's the only one who seems to have a chance of grabbing both the relatively normal traditional Republicans and the Trumper nuts.
Also Pence has zero chance. The Trumpers all turned on him and to everyone else he is tainted for being Trump's VP.
Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)made the strategic decision to go against trump. Haley and Pence. They are so inextricably linked to him from the past. It's like they made a bad half-way decision. They aren't independent enough or strong enough on their own.
Wonder why Romney's not on here.

(32,833 posts)Of course the easy pick is Chump, but it may not be up to him if he has legal and financial troubles. If it isn't Chump, it's either Rick Scott, Ron DeSantis, or Marco Rubio (long shot).
Haley, Cruz, Hawley, Pence and Cotton would all win one primary each - in their own state. I'm not even sure if Pence could win his own state.

(32,833 posts)Of the 3 Florida guys (in addition to Chump), Rubio is the long shot to my mind.

(5,445 posts)He identified Trumpism as the key historical trend and went all in, destroying his own future political opportunity in doing so.
