If Trump doesn’t run, I’m afraid with everything that’s been happening with Ukraine, it will be Romney, this has gotten him back in the game.

the only one who runs should be Trump with Desantis as VP.

Senators are suck ass candidates for POTUS. They need to stay home.

If Trump doesn’t run then it’s a firm NO to any beltway insider. Sorry, Ted.

Ted Cruz thinks I am a terrorist for attending Jan 6 (no where near the building: FBIAS)

Micro Rubio already voted to give away our country (once, so far, don’t give him another chance)

Neither are natural born citizens.

Tim Scott, Rick Scott, Mitt Romney all Bush League Republicans.

WE WANT TRUMP!

If Trump doesn’t run, DeSantis is the only one left in it.

it will be Romney, this has gotten him back in the game.

That will never happen. He looks and sounds every bit the doddering old fool these days.

DeSantis or Cruz. Take your pick.

Please explain how a Cuban born in Canada is naturally an American.

The nomination is Trump’s if he runs, period, anyone who thinks otherwise is just in self denial.

Yes things could change in the next 2 years, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

If he doesn’t run, it will be just like 16 would have been without Trump... a long list of folks with ambition but no real spark, and some last man standing no one is excited about will be the nominee.

I don’t see that being Romney.... He already lost a winnable election... the part of the Trump base that overlaps with the traditional base will never ever support him and thats not a small segment at all.

If Trump, or one of his children don’t run, then honestly I don’t have any clue who would wind up being last man standing, other than to say I just don’t see any way it winds up being Romney.

Now, 2 years is a long time away, so obviously something could change the calculations before then, but right now, the nomination is Trump’s, period. No one else will even register if he runs.

As of today, I’m more interested in taking the Senate and House AND having the GOP majorities surprise me and act like conservative Republicans.

If Trump runs, the nomination is his, period.

If he, nor any of his children run, then I have no idea who it will wind up being, but I would expect it will be a uniparty hack.

After Putin declares Texas an “independent republic” Cruz won’t even be an American, LOL.
