Sorry, there's enough HACKS in the Senate without adding a QUACK to it!!!!

How could anybody be baffled about something that isn't happening? Beats being baffled about Brandon anyway.

Another doctor in the senate would be a good thing. With deep-state assholes like Fau-Chi wasting $billion on garbage medical research, actually killing 800,000 Americans, needs to be fixed. More qualified eyes verifying where the medical research money is actually spent versus where it is needed has to be a good thing.
2022 and 2024 can't come fast enough, to sweep the "woke crowd" away.

I like presidents who are NOT sock puppets or lawyer-crooks. Businessmen who are not egomaniacs or "bullys" or micromanagers would be a better choice than "politicians".
In 2024 I like Nikki Haley, Mike Pompeo, Jim Jordan, Dan Crenshaw, Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, maybe even Desantis? I'm not a Trump fan.

What's important to me is that the candidate not be a horrible RINO. No Romney or Hogan or any of those fencesitters.

I'll make one exception ----- I do like Lindsay Graham.

Thank you. A show of hands who thinks the 'professional' politicians have done a good job? There you have it.

Not really.

I don't think they need a snack-oil salesman!!

Also, they don't need that wife-beater and child abuser Sean Parnell. They need to ditch him FAST. I read the OP article, and Pennsylvanians are direly challenged at not having a replacement for Parnell who doesn't put everyone to sleep. You would think in a state that size they could find somebody!

I really don't hold out much hope for any career politician. But I like Desantis so far.

Thats why I voted for Trump, he wasn't a career politician. He dredged up the swamp and look at all the dead corpses that came floating to the top!!!

Bravo. This post is a gem.

Agree on RINO Romney, a "Never-Trumper globalist" by any other name.
Agree on Hogan, not a Christie fan, hate Kasich, the Bush dynasty is over, Lindsay Graham was a never-Trumper, but say where the GOP unwashed masses were and reluctantly changed to support Trump.

IMHO its NOT about Trump, its all about Trump's "America First Populist" policies. That's the policy standard that will win the GOP primaries. Trump may be "damaged goods" from the J6 riot that the MSM hung around his neck. So I'm predicting that these folks will be on the stage, and any one of them should beat whoever the dems put up. IMHO Nikki Haley would be unbeatable, pulling many democrat suburban women to the GOP.
Mike Pence
Ted Cruz
Mike Pompeo
Nikki Haley
Tom Cotton
Jim Jordan
Ron Desantis
Dan Crenshaw

Exactly! Most of them have never run as much as a lemonade stand, let alone the most complex government on the planet.
I still think we should have a "Grace Commission II" to study and modernize the Federal government, to eliminate duplication, waste, fraud, and abuse. Fau-Chi's paying China's Wuhan Lab to do germ warfare research that ends up killing 800,000 Americans comes to mind. Too much money and too few guardrails.

Ok, who would you vote for:
1. Biden, Kamala, or name a dem

or

2. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos?

We need a president that can start solving problems instead of creating them.

Mike Pence doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the Republican nomination in 2024.

Jeff Bezos is a mega Dem donor, so thankfully we'll never have a presidential ballot where we have to choose between "name a dem" and Jeff Bezos.

Probably true, but Pence wold be welcome on the stage.
The 2024 primaries should be a showdown for the soul of the GOP.
Do we want to get past the 2020 election and J6, or not?
IMHO we want to move on, besides, Trump will be too damn old.

True, and Elon Musk is ineligible because he's naturalized.
Point being, there HAS TO BE a competent businessman that would be 1,000,000x better at running the US than any socialist democrat.

I'm thinking of someone like Lee Iacocca. Someone patriotic (he fixed the Statue of Liberty), Republican, and competent.
I'm blanking on names?! Does Trump scare them all off? Maybe they are just waiting for 2024?
The only ones I found are Larry Ellison and the Loefflers?

Sure, and will again if someone good besides Trump (DESANTIS) takes hold. Could be an interesting few years --- the Dems have absolutely NO CLUE what to do about the 2024 elections, as Biden turns 79 and Caramel Harris becomes ever more unpopular. But also the GOP has some obvious issues about who is to run.

Believe it or not, I might actually vote for Bezos and I NEVER vote for dems. I think Jeff Bezos saved us during this pandemic.
