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.

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.

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.
