ANOTHER Republican teases possible 2024 challenge to Trump: Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson slams ex-president’s 2020 fraud claims as an ‘unnecessary distraction’ and says he wants to lead GOP in a ’new direction'
UK Daily Mail ^ | 04/24/2022 | Elizabeth Elkind

Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson on Sunday became the latest Republican to publicly toy with the idea of running for president in 2024 -- potentially setting up a fierce battle within the GOP if Donald Trump attempts another White House bid.

'I’m not ruling it out. That’s something that is a consideration, an option,' Hutchinson told Fox News of a possible presidential campaign.

'I’m certainly not ruling it out, because this is too critical a time for our nation and it’s a defining moment and I want to not only engage the debate now but keep my options open down the road.'

Hutchinson, who chairs the National Governor's Association, will be leaving Little Rock at the end of this year after serving two terms leading the southern state.

pardon my ignorance, but what happens to money donated to a political campaign?

There are complex rules, but generally, it can not be used directly by the candidate. It can be refunded, but it also can be used to create Political Action Committees, which the candidate or his people can then generally oversee and manage. But there are also rules on how that PAC money can be spent.

He will become one of those “contributors” on cable news channels, and a resume enhancement will include having been a presidential candidate.

You can add up all those who are rumored to be running:
Pence
Hutchinson
Hogan
Pompao
Haley
Cheney
Christy
Kinzinger
Romney

Probably others.

You can take their event attendance totals over the next year, combine them, and they won’t be anywhere near one Trump rally.

If Trump decides to get in to the race he’ll poll probably around 85 percent leaving these dogs to fight over the 15 percent scrap.

His name is Asahole Drek. He wants to raise lots
of GOPe money then lose and pocket the funds.

If they changed to law that the funds would
have to go to Vets for instance these Asaholes
would not run for office.

He means he wants to lead the GOP in the same old tired direction that the Bushies did.

Yes, some people get satisfied with simply becoming more famous as if that and that alone is a great achievement, when they achieve nothing else.

You hit the nail on the head. It’s a money scam for the country club set.

We had 17 in 2016; do you think we’ll surpass that number of RINO nutcases?

Since the RINOs conspired with the Dems to steal the election, any RINO attempting to deny Trump another term in office needs to be primaried.

REMOVE ALL RINOS FROM OFFICE!
