I definitely want someone who is young and healthy enough to take over in eight years. For that reason (among others), I don’t prefer Newt. I sort of like John Thune.
I prefer Christy less than almost any “republican”. Honestly, I don’t think Christy wins NJ for Trump, and he will alienate even more Christian conservatives.
Just my two cents.
Thune has been a great disappointment. Totally coopted by the GOPee.
