That is a dilemma. I do like pence on judges, but that’s not enough. I like walker and the work he did in Wisconsin, but his last run for Governor hurt him. I think he should have run for senate instead. The Seal with the patch seems good. I really think Sean Duffy is excellent, but again should have run for senate. Having Duffy and walker represent Wisconsin would have been awesome. Oh well...

Pence likely won't win in 2024 - his appeal is too narrow. For one thing, he's too religious for most people and unfortunately, the majority of the country is not religious anymore and don't trust people who are. Now when I say religious, I'm not talking about the millions of people who casually go to church on Sunday morning and then consume a six-pack that afternoon watching football. I'm talking about the RELIGIOUS people like Pence, who walk the walk as well as talk the talk. To most casual Christians (as I'll refer to them), Pence is too extreme. Hence virtually unelectable.

The Democrats would have to run a real dud to lose to Pence (and that's possible). For that reason, I'm really hoping somebody else steps up for the GOP, somebody who will carry Trump's agenda forward. Because 8 years of Trump will not be enough.

It's still way too early to be talking about 2024 but I'm thinking we could do a lot worse than Mike Pompeo. I think Pompeo has the chops to be Trump II.
