Rubio, Hegseth, Bessent is my order of preference. Right now, at least. Bessent has no chance, and I really like him.
Scott Bessent’s husband and partner is John Freeman, a former New York City prosecutor.
Never in a million years will conservatives vote for Bessent.
It’s funny. It takes years to build up a following and a lot of money brought in along the way. Obama was the flash in the pan exception. It shows it can be done but the lefties have to present themselves as something they’re not. They get exposed sooner or later-hopefully before it’s too late.
They’re constantly on the attack and we have to sweat out the next election day to get our validation. Even now and we’ve got congress. A bigger victory would help.
I don’t think Hegseth has much of a chance either. Perhaps they’re angling for the VP slot? (And I hope Bessent has the stomach to remain in politics: he’s been a very pleasant surprise, very competent, always one of the adults in the room.)
Rubio is my number 1 but after that anybody but Vance.
I really like Bessent, too, but a homosexual President? That is a bridge too far.
Rubio or De Santis…not necessarily in that order.
Rubio could be a stellar candidate. Experienced legislatively, knows the dangers of the enemy here and abroad, polished speaker.
Honestly—does not need a billionaire sugar daddy like Vance needs to climb the ladder of success.
Repubs have a strong bench and much is attributed to our POTUS. A strong leader that is best complemented with a follow on with the likes of a Rubio.
Don’t think Pete is ready for prime-time.
