NEW YORK (AP) — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is planning trips to Iowa and New Hampshire. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., is considering a rough timeline for a potential presidential announcement. And allies of Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., are openly talking up her White House prospects.

More than two years before the next presidential election, a shadow primary is already beginning to take shape among at least three fierce Republican critics of former President Donald Trump to determine who is best positioned to occupy the anti-Trump lane in 2024.

Their apparent willingness to run — even if Trump does, as is widely expected — represents a shift from previous years when “Never Trump” operatives failed to recruit any GOP officeholders to challenge the incumbent president. But with the 2024 contest almost in view, the question is no longer whether one of Trump’s prominent Republican critics will run, but how many will mount a campaign and how soon they will announce.

Those close to Cheney, Hogan and Kinzinger expect one of them, if not more, to launch a presidential bid after the 2022 midterms.

doesn’t matter.
These three would go after Pres. Trump like they were democrats...
Make Pres. Trump to spend money.

Follow the primary money of these 3 jamokes. And keep an eye on Hillary and the Clinton Foundation while were doing it.

None of these would even take their home state in a primary.

In New Hampshire we appreciate the money spent by various hopeless campaigns. So to all the RINOs who are planning on coming to New Hampshire to campaign against Trump please pay all of your hotel bills promptly, and tip the waiters and waitresses well. We’ll gladly take your money. but we aren’t going to vote for you.
