5 Republicans who could challenge Trump in 2020
The Week ^ | December 6, 2019 | Matthew Walther

Posted on 12/06/2018 5:15:33 PM PST by C19fan

Remember when half of American white males over the age of 40 declared themselves for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016? There were so many candidates that they couldn't fit them all on two packed debate stages. One guy stayed in after receiving a grand total of 12 votes in the Iowa caucuses; in New Hampshire, Jim Gilmore's showing improved to 133, an unprecedented 1,000 percent increase. Reader: He didn't withdraw for another six days.

Hope Mitt runs in his Mom Jeans.

That would be so cool.

I’d say he’d get most.

Uh huh. Any Trump supporter who'd vote for the likes of Romney, was never a Trump supporter.

Tell me about it. THAT right there is the #1 problem facing this country right now. It’s not the commies, it’s these bums posing as Republicans who let the commies do whatever the hell they want. Think about it: We control the WH and both houses yet for the past two years the commies have been walking around like they own the place, like they have unlimited power. 2 years of harassing the living crap out of this President with an “investigation” based on a hoax invented by the Clinton crime family. How many investigations into the commmies have been initiated by the “Republicans”? All of them make me want to puke.

In fact, post Trump era, watch for another outsider. It would be a great opportunity for the right person. Otherwise the Republican party will be SOL and likely be replaced by a 3rd party, such as an America first, Nationalist Party.

Ya think that would tweak the disciples of deceit in D.C. and their collusive media associates?

If Trump is not the Republican nominee in 2020, it will most like be one who is NOT challenging him: Mike Pence. Trump is in his 70’s. Things happen. In case of illness, he may decide to not run. Pence will be best positioned in that case to be the nominee. He would be a better choice than any of these five.

Sixteen tried in 2016. That did not work.

It all hinges on THE WALL and turning the flow of illegal Mexicans (et al) around in the other direction.

Trump helped save Cruz he’s not running or even giving it a second thought on 2020. Corn Flake and that SOM will and be humiliated. Watch for one try and run as an independent. Trump should dominate the entire election.

Trump had 62 million votes in 2016.

I would bet that if a RINO managed to take the ticket in 2020 the turnout would not reach 55 million.

In what alternative universe can Jeff “The Corn” Flake win the Presidency?

If Kasich enters Trump knows he can’t win so he will fold. Flake will beat both Trump and Kasich. President in waiting Flake.

Cruz will run again in 2024. I think he got several reality checks in a row in the last three years. Who knows? He might have a real shot by then.

I see Nikki Haley running 2020. Briefly, and poorly. ‘Twill be fun.

I was about to write “and so?” but your response is actually better and more to the point. GOP? Were it not for Trump I would never have voted for one of those lazy self-dealing sellout stupid fools again. They are utterly worthless.

I am exactly right there in that same spot.

If it was not for Trump, I would not be voting for any of these useless punks.

He’s it.

I’m not even sure what I’m going to do when Trump is done, because outside of him I have no want, use or need for the GOP.

They have accomplished nothing. Ever.

Their entire platform is more useless than used toilet paper.
