GOP radio host Larry Elder weighing White House bid even if Trump runs
The Hill ^ | 09/19/2022 | Brad Dress

Conservative radio host and author Larry Elder said he’s considering a run for president in 2024 — even if former President Trump announces another bid.

Elder, a former California gubernatorial candidate, told Iowa’s Des Moines Register that if he chooses to seek the Republican nomination in 2024, he doesn’t “feel” like he’d be running against Trump, who has repeatedly floated a White House comeback.

No sure how I fell about this. I guess the primary will tell all.

I think there’s some money to made in fundraising. When he quits midstream, money from the campaign then makes its circuitous journey back to him?

Years ago, George Wallace told my husband that every time he ran, he made a million dollars.

Elder is a grifter.

He would be doing it only to raise awareness of issues he thinks need more attention, to increase his name recognition, and, of course, to raise a little money. Though the cash cannot be used for personal expenses, when you are a political radio talk show host, campaign expenses aren’t that different from your usual business expenses (i.e., campaign advertising is business advertising).

Yup, turns out he is.

Lost a lot of respect for him from this action.

Larry Elder is not suited to be a US President. The only accomplishment he has in his life is to be a Radio Shock Jock. Trump has way more experience. Just sayin...

Stupid. He’s getting like the rest of them. I don’t like it. You all must nip it in the bud. Me, I’ll just walk away. So will a lot of others.

Don’t do it Larry. You are not well known enough. You just got done with a campaign here in California. The campaign never really achieved liftoff.
Too soon for something that big.

Elder must have money to burn cause that will be exactly the only outcome.

Maybe he’s considering one of the following:

Running for the VP spot.

Cabinet position.

Enhance his resume.

Future book sales.

He would have made a great Governor for California, but apparently California prefers an awful one.

“ Elder must have money to burn cause that will be exactly the only outcome.”
******************************************************************

He’s more interested in the POTENTIAL money that would come in. He has no shot to be either the Presidential selectee or to be chosen as the VP running mate.

Two things - EGO AND MONEY!

Does he really think he can even remotely qualify but wise? Total waste of time and money, and confirms that apparently he is a never Trumper.
