By this time two years from now, and probably quite a bit earlier than that, we will know the identity of the Republican presidential nominee for 2024. Most likely it will be Donald Trump. If he doesn’t wind up running, the nominee will probably be Florida governor Ron DeSantis, or possibly a potential candidate from the ranks of MAGA-friendly conservatives.
We don’t know for sure what will happen. But we do know at least two pols who will emphatically not be raising hands with a running mate in Milwaukee in 2024: soon-to-be-former congresswoman Liz Cheney and term-limited Maryland governor Larry Hogan. Cheney just got trounced in a Wyoming primary by Trump endorsee Harriet Hageman for multiple acts of treason against Trump, and Hogan, aside from being himself a harsh Trump critic, holds policy views (e.g., being basically pro-choice on abortion) that haven’t been acceptable for a Republican presidential nominee since the 1970s.
Yet both these far-out-of-the-mainstream Republicans are the object of regular 2024 speculation in the press. It’s not only a waste of time and journalistic malpractice, but borderline disinformation.
From the way some talking heads covered it, you might have thought that Cheney’s humiliating primary loss was actually a presidential launch event. The Bulwark’s Amanda Carpenter, who is actually a big Cheney fan, nicely captured how ridiculous it was:
All the big-name reporters camped out in Wyoming on Tuesday — not to watch her lose but to build their 2024 storylines. And she whetted their appetites with an announcement shortly after her loss that she converted her campaign committee to a leadership PAC named “The Great Task” to “oppose any Donald Trump campaign for president.” Accordingly, the cable shows went into overdrive, speculating about what’s next for Cheney and demanding answers from her backers about her likely strategy to win the GOP nomination.

Whoever the nominee is, the FBI will be right on the job with wiretap and search warrants.
I heard that Liz Cheney and Chelsea Clinton will be running as a team in 2024. Their campaign slogan will be, “We’re famous only because of our daddies.”
I don’t think that’s a very good slogan. Liz Cheney‘s daddy likes to start wars, and shoot people while on hunting trips. And we’re still not sure who is Chelsea Clinton‘s real daddy.
One of them may try to run 3rd party after they’re trounced in the primary and accidentally suck votes away from the democrat candidate instead of Trump as intended.
One thing the left and the rinos are always lacking is intelligence. That’s why they always screw even their own plans up.
How many states have “sore loser” laws to prevent that from happening? Quite a few IIRC.
I live in Maryland and i cant think of a least effective republican Governor in the past 40 years….the fat weirdo is a caricature that shows up on Sunday shows to bash Trump while doing nothing much else
They’re sucking the “dumb money,” which has to go somewhere.
” And we’re still not sure who is Chelsea Clinton‘s real daddy.”
Well Chelsea is a dead ringer for Webb Hubbell
I think the studies indicate Cheney helps Trump if she runs third party so we won’t see her. I’m not sure about Hogan. Didn’t Weld try that in 2016 and he was so inconsequential he dropped out. I think they only steal people who wouldn’t be voting for Trump anyway.
Lez needs to run to steal the libtard vote.
In 2 years, Cheney will likely have a massively overpaid lobbyist job.
Will she run as Liz Perry or Liz Cheney?
President Cheney and First gentleman Perry.
A bit odd don’t you think?
She took her husbands name (Perry) but whips out daddy’s name for politics.
She’s so dislikable.
I’ve got a better chance than the Lizard.
Please Shut Up About Liz Cheney or Larry Hogan in 2024
***********************************************************
Amen! Amen! Amen!
The media uses Hogan and Cheney to FILIBUSTER and thereby block-out others, be them Trump DeSantis, or other legitimate conservatives.
Pretty clever on their part, actually.
Exactly!
/hurl
Chelsea's "daddy" liked starting wars too.
What credibility does the FBI have with anybody right now?
Close to none.
