The Republican Party Post-Trump - What Will It Look Like...?

[satam55]

@Cave Savage What do you think about Ted Cruz?

Not counting Trump, My top 3 candidates for 2024 are DeSantis, Hawley, & Cruz.

He only beat Beto by 3 points in his own state. He is pretty popular among conservatives but I don't think he has that "it" factor.

So I think Hawley and especially DeSantis are the front runners.

Just imagine a debate between those three. What would they even talk about, who sucks off Trump the hardest? Aside from that, Hawley is considerably to the left of Ted Cruz on economics, at least rhetorically.

I'd imagine they'd run on populist/America 1st issues like Trump did in 2016. No way would running on the Romney/McCain/Bush platform get anybody excited enough to win the general election.

It's going to be very interesting to see who does or doesn't want a Trump endorsement in 2022 and whether or not it helps them.

They're going to want it. I would bet money that Trump becomes a kingmaker.

Of course they won't get by with a Romney platform. But I wonder where the source of disagreement would be other than Hawley being further left on economics than the other too.

I guess De Santis would brag about passing a law allowing people to shoot protestors who vandalize property.

Noem
Kevin Stitt (oklahoma gov)

 

[radio rahiem]

Conservatives in other countries are at least attached to reality. But here we’ve managed to decouple them from reality.

Noem
Kevin Stitt (oklahoma gov)

They mention Noem a lot and they would probably like Stitt too but most people outside of Oklahoma know nothing about him

 

[The G.O.D II]

It’s Ron Desantis. From a battleground state.
Seems to straddle the line between mainstream party conservatism and populism. Is a veteran. Cotton is done with the trumptards. Hawley is done with the party leaders.

None of these names yall throwing around has a prayer in the general, even against a weak Dem candidate like Kamala...

Meat for the Trumptard base candidate (DeSantis, Cruz, Hawley) with no moderate appeal = guaranteed L

 

[satam55]

Love it.

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

Also I feel a lot of yall not counting the possibility Trump forms/joins a third party and runs again...

This is a real possibility...

 

[Cave Savage]

Trump himself lost that state
These "populist" guys on twitter are so obsessed with Trump that they can't see any flaws in their own party other than not worshipping Trump enough
Kelly Loeffler voted with Trump literally 100% of the time

Trump inspired maybe.

There’s no one with money who will back the formation of a new party with crazy people who don’t vote.

In the near term you will see a vocal backlash to the Republicans by Trump Republicans to take over the party in the House.
