While he isn't mentioned very much as a possible contender, I think that Gov. Kemp from Georgia might end up as the GOP nominee.

I know Liz Cheney has made more noises of late. I don’t think she can win the nomination.

The republican party really wanted to make a decisive break from their spineless off the rails weak trajectory they've been on for far too long, they should consider a Cheney/ Kinzinger ticket. Seems highly unlikely they have enough sense to do that.

That said, if they did a ticket of Cheney and Kinziger, it would really stand out because those two were obviously the only two to stand up to the wave of Trumpism lunacy that pervaded the party. They would have Cheney as the first woman president candidate backed up by Kinzinger who's got plenty of time to make his run down the road. This is of course a fantasy. We know the Republican party isn't gonna do anything like that, odds are.

His election to governor wasn’t a fluke. He ran a great campaign while McAuliffe ran a horrible one. Still, he has been almost invisible here. I don’t think people here would appreciate him basically bailing on his office.

if he wasn't running as a Dem stalking horse. I would bet he's kicking himself for not running as GOPer.

The only one that could beat Trump or Biden, but Trump.would need to clear the way for him. Trump isn’t stopping unless he drops dead.

President. In the meantime, he'll spend his days continuing his quasi-religious griftting.

All these traditional Republican pundits thinking Trump won’t be the nominee need to understand what their party has become. Unless Trump is in the ground, he will be their 2024 nominee. And until Trump is in the ground he will be the de facto leader of the Republican Party.
