Nobody can be as good as Trump. He’s a once in a generation kind of leader.
But I do think there a few people who could rise to the occasion.
Rick Scott has had the background running Florida. Rand Paul has been steady and true. Pompeo and Mulvaney are strong. Pence has been loyal. Also the former Texas governor, Perry, is getting his job done as Secretary of Energy.
With very rare exceptions, the Senator class doesn’t have the background. You need to have that administrative or business experience.
No Republican businessmen have shown themselves, but I’d like to see an experienced business leader again.
I think we’re going to see Howard Schulze of Starbucks run as a Democrat in 2024. I think he’s calculating that the Left wing of the Dems will take a beating in 2020, and so he’ll come in and try to save them in 2024.
He;s smart enough to know that nobody is going to beat Trump in 2020.
Thanks. We need to have some hope for the future-—if there is a future.
To all FReepers: I highly recommend poconopundit’s home page with William Shakespeare’s little known comparison of Free Republic to a summer’s day and the list of great posts by poconopundit himself.
So impressive.
