I have written about the cases for and against Donald Trump and for and against Ron DeSantis in 2024, and that leaves only the case against everybody else in the GOP who might run.

Everybody else is just a distraction at best, at worst delusional or auditioning for vice president or some cheesy cabinet post. The 2024 election is just too important for this kind of self-indulgent nonsense.
Let’s review some of the potential candidates who, in another year, might have had a shot – as opposed to the total losers we will discuss in Part 2. These folks are not terrible – except Nikki Haley, who is flat-out terrible – but none of them can answer the big question: Why you, and why now?
Mike Pompeo was an Army officer and a congressman and the head of the CIA and the Secretary of State, and he lost a whole bunch of weight, and he would probably be a good president except for the fact that there’s no pressing need for Mike Pompeo to be president in 2024. Sure, I would vote for him if nominated, and the same with any of these. You would probably vote for him too. But that’s not going to happen because he’s not going to be nominated. He’s OK. There’s nothing wrong with him, at least compared to any of the Democrat nimrods. But, as we will see throughout this column, there’s no reason for him. He has not redefined the party like Donald Trump has, nor has he changed a purple state into a deep red one while presenting a future path forward for the party like Ron DeSantis...

Missing 'the case for DJT' but I guess Kurt's not the independent warrior he pretends to be.
I think that's supposed to contained in this Schlichter article, but solid Trump supporters will disagree.
