Well, a senator who is not welcome in his party’s caucus or any other party’s caucus is in a pretty lonely place.
A person who would like to be president but who has burned down all his bridges to nomination is in a pretty lonely place as well.
Rather than worrying about him, we need to be thinking about this upcoming election and the 2024 election where, assuming President Trump’s reelection, there will be no incumbent.
VP Pence would be an obvious choice.
Another for me is Nikki Hailey, the former US UN Ambassador and twice governor of South Carolina: a younger Republican conservative woman with state-level chief executive experience and federal level diplomatic experience.
I don’t see Nikki Haley in my future. I’m thinking Don Jr.
