26. I doubt Mittens will even get close to the General Election in 2024.

The Republican redneck base is still going to be redneck, and Turd will not just magically disappear from the political scene after losing reelection. Being a Mormon from Utah, Mittens is in a unique position that allows him to distance himself a bit from Turd. The rest of the professional Republican politicians do not dare do that, because they know they will be 'primaried out of office' if they're even suspected of thinking about it.

Other than those few states with high Mormon populations, I don't believe Mittens will get far in the primaries.
