GOP shadow primary gains steam ahead of 2024

Pence is far from the only prospective candidate signaling interest in a potential White House campaign. Haley is slated to return to Iowa this summer to attend the Dubuque Regional Reception hosted by the state GOP, putting her back in the crucial first-in-the-nation caucus state.

Pompeo, meanwhile, is set to release a new book this fall detailing his tenure in the Trump administration. He also recently suggested in an interview with Fox News that his future political ambitions — including a possible presidential run — aren’t contingent on what Trump ultimately decides to do in 2024.

“The Pompeos have always used the simple fact of, do you believe this is the moment where you think you can best serve America — this is the place you can have the most impact,” he said. “That’s going to be how we make our decision in the end. It’s the right way to think about someone who puts themselves forward to the people of the United States to run for office, whether it’s president or back in home-state Kansas.”

For would-be candidates like Pence, Haley and Pompeo — all three of whom are former Trump administration officials — the apparent early moves may be born at least somewhat out of necessity, one Republican strategist and presidential campaign veteran said. None of the three are currently serving in public office, making it more difficult to stay in the spotlight as they plot their political futures.

“There are the former Trump officials who are working very hard to stay relevant without office, so you see them writing books, traveling, going on Fox News as much as they can, because they have to work harder to position themselves for a potential run,” the strategist said.

Funny. My first thought was “the 4 stooges”. Apparently we looked at the same picture.

Not only is Pence a coward, but he apparently has no shame. He’ll be the Jeb! Of ‘24.

Hogwash! If it is from the “main street media,” it’s not worth a piece of crap. Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda.

Hogwash, what’s is hogwash? The fact that they a planning on running or the part about they’re trying to stay relevant. This is simply a question about your post. If you mean those four, I totally agree.

How can four people (Christie) be so deluded they think they have a chance? Maybe Pompeo or Haley have a slight chance for VP. The other two, no way.

If Liz Cheney gets on a debate stage with Trump, she will desperately wish she hadn’t. But it will probably get her a choice of jobs: CNN, MSNBC, defense boards, neocon organizations.

It’s not about winning.
It’s about campaign “contributions” and laundering money.

Academic if Trump gets in. If Trump doesn’t run then this is relevant.

The Democrats, with help from foreign entities, corrupted electronic voting machines, extra invalid ballots, corrupt social media outlets, Federal Agencies who depend primarily on that party for funding, crooked Republicans who will not enforce the law, a failed Department of Justice for not investigating what happened (Federal Agency) and other chicanery stole the last Presidential election. There is so much evidence that it happened I am not going to re-hash it.

What is NOW important is that we are in an extremely dangerous political situation requiring fight, or flight. The reason for this conclusion is that when a large group of people perpetrate such a crime (of treason), the penalty for that IS long-term imprisonment and/or death (for the ringleaders) and they know it. They are NOT going to concede to EVER to having stolen the election even if the FBI would investigate such and bring charges BECAUSE they will face the aforementioned consequences.

They will fight. And, they have to continue with the criminal overthrow and subjugate EVERYONE who disagrees, either forcibly changing their minds or killing them to avoid the punishment they deserve in this life. That leaves the opposition with only two (maybe three) choices. One can fight, one can leave the country, or, one can submit and just obey them since they are now in charge. It is NOT looking good at all.
