The 2024 General Election
« on: February 16, 2023, 10:14:11 PM »
I know it's early. 

I don't believe Haley has a snowball's chance.  It is a two-horse race for the GOP nomination:  Trump or DeSantis.  I initially thought DeSantis had no chance.  Now I'm not so sure.
 
Poll: Trump Leads Crowded GOP Primary Field in South Carolina
NICK GILBERTSON
15 Feb 20236

Former President Donald Trump leads former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) and his other potential Republican primary opponents in South Carolina, the second GOP primary state in the nation, according to a poll.

Trump has the support of 35.1 percent of South Carolina Republican primary voters sampled in a Neighborhood Research and Media poll released Wednesday, giving him a double-digit lead.

The more people who enter the race increases Trump's chances.

Obviously some of the ones entering are just looking for attention or future admin positions.  Haley, Chris, Pence, Scott, Cruz, Pompeo, etc.  they will just "blip and dip" on the election radar and that's it.

The Democrats sure have a strong bench:

Kamala Harris
Bernie Sanders
Gavin Newsome
Mayor Pete

We already know Trump won't make that pledge.

Being the incumbent, they don't have to have a strong field.  Historically, the sitting party never really fields strong candidates for a POTUS reelection year.

Didn't he hint/threaten at a doing a third party run if he were not the candidate for the GOP?

The incumbent has never been this old or mentally incompetent.  Even Democrats don't want Biden to run.  Same old story.  Democrats never liked him, even when had his mental faculties. 

But the fact is the Democrat bench is awful.  Good luck with Kamala Harris.

DeSantis should just announce Tulsi as his running mate and smash the field. Then, let me smash Tulsi.

Trump needs to tone down his attacks on those are or may run against him and won’t fly this time. He pissed me off when he started attacking DeSantis. Totally uncalled for

Have thought this for awhile.

Except the you smashing part.

DeSantis could pick Gabbard as a VP and throw everything into a tizzy.

Many Repubs didn't want Trumpy to run in 2020.  But he did with little to no opposition. 

The GOP is even far more awful.

If you think DeSantis, Pompeo, Tim Scott, etc. are "far more awful" than Kamala Harris, Hillary, Gavin Newsome, and Mayor Pete then you need to put the crack pipe down.

'Woke, Inc.' author Vivek Ramaswamy enters White House race



Vivek Ramaswamy, a wealthy biotech entrepreneur and investor and the author of “Woke, Inc.,” has entered the Republican race for president.

In a video released Tuesday night, Ramaswamy, 37, formally launched his longshot bid by decrying what he called a “national identity crisis” that he claims is driven by a left-wing ideology that has replaced “faith, patriotism and hard work” with “new secular religions like COVID-ism, climate-ism and gender ideology."

“We have obsessed so much over our diversity and our difference that we forgot all the ways we’re really just the same as Americans," he says.

In a Wall Street Journal editorial published at the same time, he pledged to repeal civil service protections for federal workers if he wins, as well as work to eliminate affirmative action, including directing the Justice Department to prosecute “illegal race-based preferences."

Born in Ohio, Ramaswamy, the son of Indian immigrants, founded a biotechnology company before becoming the partner of a hedge fund. He is the author of the books “Woke, Inc.” and “Nation of Victims" and gained stature in conservative circles for his criticism of the environmental, social and corporate governance movement that aims to promote socially responsible investing.

Ramaswamy enters what is expected to be a crowded Republican field that already includes former President Donald Trump and his former ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley.

Biden may not run — and top Dems are quietly preparing
The president no longer seems absolutely certain to go for a second term, leaving the party, his top aides and potential candidates unsure about '24 and very quietly mulling plan B.
