I agree with Big3 too when it comes to Trump winning a primary with ten or more candidates; that's pretty much how he won in 2016.
But if the Repubs are smart (and they are learning from the Dems very well how to take defeat from the jaws of victory), they'll surround themselves around one viable candidate that will wipe the floor with Trump. Maybe it's Desantis but I still have a feeling his star is going to wane over the next two years. Realistically, though, I think there are too many egos in both parties for a smooth primary season. |
The question is what does a "viable" gop candidate look like. I don't see them going for anyone that moderate which is why I think DeSantis and Trump are both trying to lean in on the same far right crowd. DeSantis has the veneer of civility politics but he's still more like Trump than he is like a pre-Trump republican.

In 2016 there was a complete power vacuum. That was before anyone took Trump seriously. Now, if you run in 2024 you are basically double crossing Trump, in his eyes. I think that could limit the size of the pool of candidates this time around. We've yet to see what a gop primary looks like in the Trump era.

Sparing you the math, if it's not DeSantis or Trump, I think the dark-horse option would be Rubio.

I'll consider it the post-Trump era when the GOP is no longer scared of crossing him. But yeah it's possible 24 will be that year.
Also, no telling whether he'll get indicted and what affect that will have if he does. |
Or, you know, keels over
