I don& #39;t think Republicans give a crap about my handicapping their future candidates, but there are 23minutes until my Zoom class and conservative politics is imo more interesting than my own. So if I were a betting lady...
Buy: DeSantis (Trumpy but blended with some shockingly popular governance), Hawley (the baby nat con pick with unimpeachable social con cred), Any Conservative Personality ala Jr/Carlson (get visceral base instincts, have platform, people just like noise), Pence (if Trump wins)
Hold: Haley or Crenshaw (path to gain traction if Biden& #39;s elected and there& #39;s a push to unify all sectors of the traditional party under a less controversial muh small govt choice, would own libs respectfully), Cruz (he was 2nd last time. gotta acknowledge. whatever.)
Sell: Cotton (black hole of charisma), Pompeo (who? why? who cares?), Scott (Cotton& #39;s level of charisma but with more reptilian vibes), Rubio (lol), Sasse (lmao), Ryan (I just hope he does it for the backlash), Any Moderate Governor (let& #39;s not pretend this will be a thing)
*Personally* I think the Hawley v Haley divide is the easiest framing of the underlying ideological question, just no guarantee they& #39;ll be the avatars picked to fight it out
To ed the thread in a way that& #39;ll get EVERYONE to drag me....excited for Dems to nominate Gavin Newsom!
