I’m thinking that too. I’ve also thought of former Senator Jim DeMint. He left in 2013 so hopefully he’s a bit insulated from the more recent reputation of Congress and is currently president of the Heritage Foundation.
From South Carolina if I recall correctly and has a good conservative reputation. I don’t recall any scandals with his name in them and I think he is about 10 years younger than Trump.
DeMint is 64. Sessions is 69. Sarah Palin is 52.
