Trump has a weird appeal to attract people in a cult-like way. Vance doesn't have that charisma, nor does Musk (and he can't run anyway, being from South Africa). Cruz isn't liked in his own Party. Still though, someone has to win the nomination in 2028. Maybe DeSantis.

Edit: I forgot about Byron Donalds, because I thought he was way younger. He's 46, and has exceptional debating skills. Not sure if he can rile up a crowd or not though.

Vance, Gabbard... someone like that. IOW, nothing will change except the spokesperson of MAGA. WarGamer Nov 2024 #3
