He may not have a place in the innermost circles, but he wields tremendous influence with a large number of voters. I doubt he runs. The Party will want someone he can approve though, because he can get out there and stump and galvanize the portion of the voting base Loyal to him.

What I hope for in every election, and never happens, is for someone to get out there and run strictly on economy, taxes, and practical issues. Leave the social issues out of the national race, because it's not a President's place to deal with them, and that is how to lose the younger generation who may have otherwise agreed with your policies.

I think Beto would be a lovely successor to Uncle Joe.

Nikki Haley or Tim Scott could be good options, someone competent and conservative but not “going to war” everyday and less divisive than our last conservative president who really did great things for our country.

F Joe Biden.
I'm not among the majority. I can't stand Biden. At the same time, I care who would run against him. The only reason Biden won is because alot of people wanted Trump out of office. I don't like Trump either. All I see is this. We traded one bad President for another bad President. If we had someone better than Trump, we wouldn't have Biden.

This video was made back in the 1980s, long before Trump ran for office. Jack Beatty talked about how Nixon resonated to the "jerk", to the reactionary.

Please, for the love of god, no one over 75 this time for heaven's sake. Forget Trump and every other senior citizen that's well past their prime. We need younger blood.
Hogan is a RINO. He might as well change parties and become a democrat.

Biden will be in a nursing home well before his term is up. Beating Harris/AOC won't be a problem as we will be in a real Depression by 2024. However, I think Nikki Haley is the best candidate for 2024.

You no longer vote because it's rigged anyway?

I wouldn't call someone who hates Baltimore a RINO. Hogan has a blue state majority to deal with. How he governs Maryland wouldn't be the same as how he would govern the country. but it's meaningless as he won't win.

OP, I also want somebody who can defeat the Demwits in 2024. But that person ain't DJT or his type. In fact, there are other options people aren't considering.
