BTRTN: Catch 2024: The Next GOP Candidate for President Will Be the One that Breaks from Trump First

Born To Run The Numbers thinks that the madness in Georgia gives all those Republicans who yearn to run for President the perfect opportunity to break from Trump and gain "first mover advantage" toward 2024.

http://www.borntorunthenumbers.com/2020/12/btrtn-catch-2024-next-republican.html

Excerpts: "So, you are a Republican with a reasonable resume, Fox A-bloc name recognition, and you have spent the last four years cooling your heals, figuring that Donald Trump would get blown out of office in 2020, and that then the coast would be clear for your big shot at the White House in 2024. Imagine, then, your shock and disappointment when Donald Trump let word go out that he was considering running for President again in 2024. So much for your master plan and the last four years of supplication before Trump...
"Call it 'Catch 2024.' If you announce you are going to run, Trump will skewer you by tweet for disloyalty. If you don’t announce your intention to run, Trump just watches you twist in the wind while he keeps all the media attention, indulges his desperate need to stay at the center of the media universe, enjoys all the suspense and speculation about his intentions, and then either decides to run or anoints Don Jr. or Ivanka to carry the family torch... Here’s the issue in a nutshell: you want to be the next Republican President, and your name is not Trump.What do you do? Answer: Break with Trump on something important. Now...
"All you need now is to figure out the perfect reason to break from Trump: an issue where you can take the high ground and argue that Trump is at odds with the best interests of the party. May I suggest that you take a look at the State of Georgia, which is currently ground zero for Republican electial dysfuntion, cluster-fxxk’s last stand for two Republican Senators who drank one extra sip of the Kool-Aid, and the place where riding the Trump train to its illogical conclusion means losing control of the Senate...
"If you really want to be President, then stop swimming in a school of frightened guppies. Stand on your own. Slay the dragon."

NCjack,
Funny and probably very true. That is why it is so easy to give Republicans sound advice... most wouldn't read it, the ones who read it wouldn't believe it, and the ones who believe it are too frightened to act on it.
