Post by kalm »

Who are the anti-Trump front runners with the best shot to make it through the Primary?

Romney? Cheney? Sasse? Some dark horse?

Is Romney a GOP candidate? Some of the stuff coming out of his mouth makes me think he should switch sides and run.

There's one guy who has proven he can say no to Trump and still retain some support from the GOP base...Brian Kemp.

Not my favored candidate, but the Liz Cheneys and Mitt Romneys will get draxed if they're really the only thing in Trump's way.

Though I think he would be successful, Kemp isn't going to run.

At this moment in time, it's DeathSantis and everyone else.

Romney already ran, remember? The left went berserk and made him out to be the end of the world as we know it because 1) Bain and 2) he put his dog box on top of his car.

The left has no more credibility about election histrionics than the right does.

No matter who runs, no matter how moderate, they’ll be the antichrist and you’ll find a way to agree

I still think the groomers will run Kamala. Not sure they have any choice at this point. And if it's DeSantis for conks, I don't think it will matter who they run against him.

I'm not optimistic that they chose anyone better than a Trump and leave us with another piss poor choice for President.

If Michelle even twitched her nose as an expression of interest, the Donks would stampede away from Caramel in a NY minute.

AS they should. Kamala is awful. Neutralizing her as the VP was an interesting choice. Dare I say, even mildly clever? A most "insignificant office" not "worth a pitcher of warm spit." :lol:

Neat.

And you’re probably right.

Anyway, do you have any other never Trumpers with a shot (which was my original point)?

I think the job belongs to DeSantis if he wants it. He isn’t a never Trumper but he also isn’t Trump.

Larry Hogan could have a shot but he won’t run.

I agree. And a timely spat with Trump may win over a few indies in the general. As long as it doesn’t hurt GOP turnout too much.
