With all the strategy the left has thrown into their zombie media people on why, how and who they are gearing up for the next two elections and since the right is so caught up in their recent presidential election glow with Trump winning and never stopping for celebration by hitting the ground running and keeping a pace that is leaving many in the dust behind him, we have to consider he is only going to do this for a max of four years. But his replacement will have to come from the ranks and no one really has stepped out into the open. A few have sparkled under Trump, but can they shine on their own?
FR is a multi-country source for many in the conservative aisles and is a great source for campaigning and recognition. We have a mid-term coming up and Trump will need help getting across the finish line for him. But that's the starting line for another right go getter and we need to start building now for his/her support in 2026 and for the 2028 re-taking. It won't hurt to have as many of the aisle as can be that are willing and able to keep the success train moving with stops all over the country.
I live in a state that is not going to elect much of anything but a liberal representative and senator to D.C., Washington state. Both of my senators are liberal and 9 out of 10 representatives are also liberal. But that doesn't mean we can't help each other carry someone in other states that are keepers of the faith and can stay on top of the liberal liars and attack dogs. So let the discussion begin with the people we think should be considered for electing in 2026 and 2028. And it need not be just to me, talk to each other.

Rubio, who I have not really been a fan of, is showing promising signs, so far. Vance is also still in the running. DeSantis did serious damage to himself. Not only is he insincere , he has exposed that he is also not as bright as he was once thought to be. There is still time for him to change that impression, but I doubt that he will be able to do so.
It starts with Vance. VP’s should always be first in line unless one is a Dick Cheney or a feeble man(Biden).
I’ve said it before. Vance should challenge any wannabe POTUS on the democrat side to a debate on one subject only. Start them early next year. The rat will be getting a break with the exposure and it will test their ability to keep up with JD.
The debate between Newsom and DeSantis was a good public service. A Vance challenge could concentrate on domestic issues and with senators it could be foreign policy. A Lincoln/Douglas debate would be an educable lesson in history. Imagine AOC talking for an hour.
Eve, Trump is not sure right now, but of course he's not an automatic. It will depend upon what the MAGA voters think of him & if he has what it takes to carry on the MAGA torch.
He is certainly a smart person, but does he have that instinct to stand tall in the face of adversity.
He was my choice for Trump to pick as his running mate. By the midterms, I would like to see him develop a fire within his belly to become a real leader.
Under the right circumstances my pick would be Rand but a lot of our enemies both foreign and domestic would have to be put in their place. Rand could then be the Pied Piper of freedom.
Replace Alito, Thomas + one lefty.
I think Vance has settled for a back seat to Trump. While he supports Trump, he hasn’t made a place for himself. Rubio is about the same. DeSantis has dropped out of sight almost.
There is too much contentment in all the current possibles. I get the feeling we need someone who is willing to step out into the limelight who again has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with the preservation of the nation.
The republican party has failed the people because they were so concerned with politics, they forgot they were soliciting for a CEO. Maybe we’re looking in the wrong direction. Trump wasn’t a politician. A couple of names include -
Names like Mike Thaman, former CEO at Owens Corning.
Or Dave Leser, former CEO at Haliburton who took over for Chaney when he stepped down there.

These are examples of leaders like Trump that could be considered by some. I’m sure there are others.

Vance should take a backseat to Trump. But by midterms, he has to stand up in defense of Trump & his progresses his leadership kas brought to this nation. That will show his leadership in that act, and provide confidence in the voters that he will be the one to carry on the MAGA torch to make America great again. That is why I picked the mid-terms as the time to start selling himself as the torch bearer. šš
“Vance should take a backseat to Trump.”
One of the main problems the conservatives have had is in controlling the senate. During his tenure Vance in the senate, 19 months, he didn’t sponsor or co-sponsor any bills that became law. A real go getter would have been more aggressive and if he displayed confidence in his work the other senators would have included him in their work. Doesn’t have that spotlight profile. And going after the liberals is an important part of being the POTUS as a conservative. Trump reeked of confidence and power just by his being there. The next POTUS needs to contain that trait to keep the train on the track. Vance has not displayed it.

And again . . . Trump is about rejection of the Swamp.
Vance was chosen specifically because he had only 19 months in the Swamp.
The bottom line on this is . . . if you have heard of a Republican, he or she is not qualified. 6 years. If they have been in politics 6 yrs, then it takes at least 6 years in the private sector completely out of politics to cleanse themselves of Swamp filth.
As of now, Vance is the only one qualified. DeSantis . . . Swamp. Rubio . . . Swamp. Gabbard? Interesting. And that’s that. Musk would be qualified. Anyone non Swamp.
