Next election cycle is going to be a total mess. Republicans are going to have 16+ candidates... Bobby Jindal, Chris Christie, Nikki Haley, Jeb?, Kristi Noem, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Tom Cotton, Mitt Romney, New Gingrich, Scott Walker, Kasich?, Huckabee?, Santorum?, Perry?

I dont see Trump winning again after the Jan 6 debacle. Given the two qualified women candidates, I think they will both have a free ticket to victory.


If Trump wants to run in the 2024 primary I think there's a 95% chance he wins it. My guess is he won't run because he didn't seem to like the job... but who knows.

It is hilarious how Trump losing his twitter account has totally decimated his influence on the current political conversations. Thank God for Jack Dorsey.

Cmon now. People are plenty fucking stupid enough to vote for Chris Christie for president.

Sad thing is the only person on that vague and unqualified list who truly doesnt have a chance is Mitt Romney. American republicans have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt there is nobody too low for them, and Romney turned his back on the Fuehrer.

You know there will be people, even those who arent on that list, who will gladly sell their soul's for those precious, precious, stupid, stupid voters.

Romney has already lost a campaign, and unlike Trump, he didnt have to swim upstream against a once-in-a-century pandemic. Or race riots. Or an openly biased and censoring media landscape. Furthermore, he represents a direction of the party that voters had already resoundingly rejected before Trump even became president.

That's way too many candidates who have absolutely no chance. Of your list, I'd say the following will run: Haley, Noem, Rubio, Cruz, Paul (lol), and Cotton. The rest are way past their prime.

Good list, but I would add DeSantis to it. He handled covid far better than the national media gives him credit for, he has high approvals in his state, he's good at coalition building and seems like a guy who can appeal to the Trump crowd and the suburban housewives at the same time.

Haley will imho struggle appealing to rural whites, Cotton will struggle to appeal to anyone but evangelicals, Cruz is so unlikable he'd have trouble appealing to his own mother, and I'm very sceptical about Noem's ability to appeal to urban or suburban voters. Rubio... if he can fix his robotic tendencies and build a brand of his own, I can see him be a strong candidate.

Him and Rick Scott will likely be on the list. We'll see what happens after 2022 though because that election will determine the direction the GOP needs to go for 2024.

He would need more, like 75-80% IMO, else he's just blowing up this party.

True, but even if the number was 90%, it would not lead to anything but Democratic supermajorities. The GOP has a problem with a too small coalition as is, neither them nor a hypothetical "Trump party" could afford to shed any additional voters.

It's always like this. When Romney lost, the initial push was to have him run again. It fades. Maybe Trump will buck the trend, but the populists coming up behind him want to take his throne, not sit him on it.

Nice article which touches upon a lot of my arguments regarding the future of the GOP and Trump:
