I don't think I can face 4 years of Vivek.
An Asian woman in the UK commented that he was like Rishi Sunak's boastful cousin that nobody could stand who totally monopolised family get-togethers.
I don't think Ramaswamy will be the VP. He's not well liked and my impression is his ambition exceeds his loyalty. trump will not trust him. Add in the black vote and it's Scott.

Guys, why are we even debating this? It’s over as far as the primaries go. The only questions remaining are:
-
Will a viable independent option come forward?
-
Will some type of shenanigans occur at either/both of the conventions?
-
Will any of the legal cases wind up actually damaging either candidate? Georgia for Trump, and the Hunter trial for Biden. Not that Biden is in danger of jail, but enough could come out that the party decides they need somebody else.
-
The physical threats to the candidates.
- No.
- Trump said he thought Biden would not be running in the fall. I think a lot of people have the same opinion. If Biden is replaced on the ticket, it will be at the convention.
- I'm going to crawl out on a limb and say no.
- Very concerning and highly likely.
If Manchin were to run, perhaps with a moderate Republican with some chips in the electorate, it could make things interesting. If they pull 15%-20% from each party, it gets really interesting…

Commerce secretary for Ramaswamy? High enough profile to give him some political street cred.

They should make Vivek Russian ambassador.

He’s waiting to see what Super Tuesday brings. If turnout is low, or if there is still some voter resistance to Trump and Biden, he’s a coming…

You don’t think Israel would have him?

Here’s an interesting one, what about Fetterman running as an independent?

I essentially said that here in August although I incorrectly referred to the portfolio as Industry rather than Commerce.

Don’t think I hold that view any longer having seen his more of his performances and unappealing persona in the TV debates and such.

DOA, IMO.
But...If he continues to be a moderate, somewhat Blue Dawg Democrat, I could see 2028 run. As a Democrat.

Either way, looks like almost all DeSantis voters went to Nikki. Not a good sign for Trump’s enthusiasm base come November.
Good point.
OTOH, do you think DeSantis' base will vote for Sleepy Joe, or just resign themselves to another 4 years of destroying democracy and sit it out.
If NH is a test, independent voters said they were voting for Nikki, otherwise Joe in November. And DeSantis voters said they voted Nikki because…anti-Trump.
Honestly, Trump’s best hope is if Joe dies and Kamala has to lead the ticket. I could be wrong but I feel like I’m shouting the obvious into the GOP void. Guess we’ll wait until 2028 and hope there are nor SCOTUS deaths until then.

Trump has such a sharp mind. And great intuitions. (Yes, I am 100% being sincere) It’s really hard to think of Biden running by November. He looks sooooooo fragile and old on TV.
Honestly, Trump might literally kill him in a debate. Rather, Biden might not survive that type of exercise.

her speech tonight is truth summarized so nicely.
Dont know if this was in her speech, but one of her quotes after the primary was good and true. Something like,
"whichever party is the first to retire its' 80 year old candidate will win the election"
(Yes, I know that President Trump is not quite 80, but you get the point)
