Bolton would be fun, but I can't see how he raises enough money to be more than a two state flop. Christie would probably be a strong alternative to DeSantis for never Trumpers. But can any of these people pull in Trumpers?

Because Americans aren't bright enough to adopt ranked preference / instant runoff voting, then for each "actual" candidate who enters the race, a Trump surrogate with similar appeal will also enter the race.

The way you really rig winner-take-all elections is to make sure that you can divide the opposing vote among a bunch of "me too" candidates.

She has the seditionists in her party by their ball-less scrotums.

my daughter lives in Atlanta and works part-time at a specialty clothing store..one of her customers told her that Kemp has beefed up his staff and "exploring" the possibility of a run..but you didn't hear this from me

Or maybe somehow he hopes that trump will choose him as his running mate again.

and wants to keep his name out there. If anyone, but Trump wins. Pence seems like secretary of state possibility or UN etc . . .

I would not be surprised if he becomes very popular and takes the nomination. He did really well in purple Virginia and could be tough to beat in the general.
