I don't consider myself a Republican, but I am a strong Trump supporter. I consider all candidates though.

The only one on that list I would look at is Biden. Main pro for him is he is centrist and reasonable. He would need to come out strongly against the far left and their ideology which he probably would not be willing to do. If he actually did that, I'd consider him. The main con is he has a lot of baggage from the Obama years. He kinda hung back and I can't think of too many bad things directly connected to him, but Trump could find some weaknesses to label him with. I think personality-wise he'd do alright debating Trump since he's got that blue collar streak in him.

I feel like that's the case with many Trump supporters - they'll go for Biden because he has blue collar roots despite him being a big Democrat. However I'm positive he's not going to run. You cannot try to run for POTUS when you're 80 years old and having the luck he's had with family issues. I like him too but I think he's content just relaxing right now.

The other thing is I feel like quite a few Trump supporters also don't identify as Republican (more independent) either. I turned 18 in 2005 so Obama was the first election I could've voted for and I didn't because I didn't believe the hype. Didn't vote in 2012 because of Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast and Romney kinda sucked. Voted Trump in Colorado in 2016.

As someone from the center/right, who could not vote for either major party candidate last time, I would listen to what they have to say. How about you?
None. Period.

Interesting coincidence that both were Texans.
Odd how times have changed ..... I recall when Barbara Jordan was on the House committee to decide whether to impeach Richard Nixon. She eventually voted for it, but said she almost became physically ill having to actually do it.
