DeSantis is too much like Trump

Ted Cruz is too conservative, and besides, everyone who knows him hates him.

Pence didn't exactly distinguish himself as VP.

So none of the above.

Nikki Haley perhaps managed to serve in Trump's cabinet without soiling herself too much

Glenn Youngkin looks good, but lacks name recognition

Rand Paul?

DeSantis is the same as getting the positive parts of Trump without all the toxic baggage.

None of the above.

I expect there will be at least one contender who is not yet on the radar. Deaths, public disgust, and random events may throw the old rules, traditions, and playbooks in a woodchipper.

A body language interpreter is having a field day watching Trumps video of him recording his Jan 7 address tantrum.

How so many still align themselves with him is insane when he orchestrated a coup and to storm the capitol.

I am watching Liz Cheney climb, I really thought Cruz and Pence would do a lot better.

2024 could be a make or break year for us, I hope we can get past all this BS. I want to look back at this thread and see how much things have changed.

I agree.
DeSantis will have to be his own man and no clone of anyone else to win the White House.

Trump will not be as popular next year as he is now, and he's not as popular now as he was in 2016 when he was fresh and totally his own man, a candidate who was distinctly different from all the others in the race.

No one else can do Trump like Trump. DeSantis has to be a more and better DeSantis, not a copy of Trump.
