Sasse and Kasich are possibilities. Sasse might realistically be setting himself up for 2024. Kasich just for vanity and vindication. Sasse will get Bill Bradley type numbers between 10 & 30% depending on state, if he runs a competent campaign.
Corker and Flake are not going anywhere. Flake barely registers in double digits in Arizona! Corker ran a pretty raw campaign against Harold Ford last time around, making him completely ineligible to attack Trump on campaigning style. Corker can’t win, and he cannot beat the pack in 2024.
Cruz made as much peace as he could with Trump, and is young enough to make a run in 2024 against Pence and a straight-RINO.
If Martinez ran, it would be a symbolic gesture, or tryintg to be VP in 2024. Risky maneuver with limited upside.
I'll give you that Cruz has ambitions and can probably run as a Trump 3rd term, I don't see how he's going to have objection to Trump policies (so far).
Depending on how savvy Pence campaign is. What is the chance that Pence actually wants to be potus?
Corker cooked his own goose when he UNDER-REPORTED his income for over 10 years & got caught early this year.
No matter how low anyone in the USA is on the income totem pole, NO ONE will stand for a tax cheat—especially one of over 10 years running.
I wouldn’t let Corker monitor my horse water tanks in the summer.
That’s the whole thing, who is just going to run just to get the name ID up?
