That's the scary part. Whether President Trump wins or not, the next 4 years are going to fly by as fast as the last 4.

Who are Republicans going to run in '24?

I hope we find somebody as feisty as Trump. I don't think Pence has it in him.

Don. Jr. in 2024.

Mike Pompeo should be VP.

Candace Owens seems pretty feisty,and she will be old enough by election time in 2024.

That is something to do some hard thinking about. Make no mistakes the party choices will probably be for the Dems a Globalist who hates the U.S. and our core values, and for the Republicans a Globalist who gives lip service to our core values. It would be a pipe dream to think a third party could offer a candidate with a chance of taking the election.

What makes the latter choice better? Will I happen to think it is safer for our republic if everyone in D.C. is not enjoying an immense circle jerk. Better the brakes get applied once in awhile. Plus there is a better chance that the person who actually knows our core values starts acting on those than the person who despises them from the start.

I like the governor of South Dakota...and Candace Owens...and our Sec of State Pompeo. I’m sure there are more. Jim Jordan.

1. Since the passage of the 12th Amendment, VP has been the political heir of the president. Consequently you don’t get a whole lot better credential for the nomination to succeed a two-term president of your own party than VP. VP’s get the nod a lot.

2. OTOH getting the nomination is hardly the same as winning the election; since the ratification of the 12th Amendment only two sitting presidents - Andrew Jackson and Ronald Reagan - have had strong enough coattails to see their sitting VP elected POTUS.
   • VP is no more an executive position than senator is, and only one senator - Warren G. Harding in 1920 - has defeated a governor for an open presidential seat.

   • No senator has ever defeated a sitting president’s reelection bid.

   • Winning presidential candidates are shooting stars, in the sense that they win national office quickly - less than two decades after winning statewide elected office.

From this we see that Biden sure has a lot of precedent against his candidacy. And if Trump has a successful 2nd term, VP Pence will stand where you stand to win the nomination - and former governor Mike Pence, who attained national office only 4 years after attaining statewide office, would stand to be a strong candidate in November 2024.

This is not to say that I think the sun rises and sets on Mike Pence.
Just a historical reflection . . .

I think Trump has shown us the value of having someone with solid executive experience as the president - preferably business experience - as well as independence. For many years now, our presidents were presidents in name only - at least to some degree. They were managed by the deep state bureaucracy which was really running the show for the benefit of their globalist overlords. The Democrat and Republican party had devolved into mechanisms for ensuring that a compliant manageable candidate would be nominated.

That needs to change. We need a candidate who can actually lead, not be lead.
