This election is boring. Let's talk about the next.
Republicans who are def gonna run >Ted Cruz Texas Senator....Far right neocon >Marco Rubio Florida Senator....Shapeshifting Reagan conservative >Rand Paul Kentucky Senator....Soft libertarian >Nikki Hely Former UN Ambassador and South Carolina Governor....Neocon who is softer on social issues >Josh Hawley Missouri Senator....Right wing populist >Tom Cotton Arkansas Senator....Neocon with heterodox views on the economy >Ron DeSantis Florida Governor....Right wing populist >Mike Pence VP....Far right conservative
Other Republicans >Ben Sasse Nebraska Senator....Far right conservative >Mitt Romney Former Massachusetts Governor....Shapeshifting, but largely moderate, Neocon >Chris Christie Former NJ Governor....Moderate Neocon >Rick Scott Florida Senator....Right wing conservative
Cruz can’t run because he’s not native born American
Liam Watson
Probably Nikki Hely vs Andrew Cuomo
Isaac Ward
Dems who are def gonna run >Gavin Newsom California Governor....Far left >Kamala Harris California Senator....Far left social liberal, means tested economics >Kirsten Gillibran New York Senator....Far left social liberal, means tested economics >Corey Booker New Jersey Senator....Neoliberal >Andrew Yang New York Entrepreneur....Heterodox left winger
Other Dems >Andrew Cuomo....NY Governor >Bill DeBlasio....NYC Mayor >Eric Garcetti....Los Angeles Mayor >Tulsi Gabbard....Hawaii Congresswoman >Stacey Abrams....Georgia State Rep >Joe Kennedy III....Massachusetts Congressman >John Bel Edwards....Louisiana Governor >Jeff Merkley....Oregon Senator
I think Tucker Carlson and Ron Desantis would be great. Josh Hawley would be alright but he's too young. A coupe of the other names you have there would be OK but not great, and Nikki Haley can just forget it
Checked. >does his presidential addresses in talk show format
Christopher Powell
I think Tucker Carlson could make such huge inroads with the white vote that the Democrats could win Texas and would still lose overall
Cameron Taylor
If Tucker and DeSantis ran together it would be earth-shattering and they would probably win every state other than the Pacific 4, New York and Massachusetts. But I can't imagine in a million years that Tucker would actually run.
Whenever anybody says somebody is too young (like Hawley) it ends up being bad advice. You gotta run while you're a fresh face and popular. Be the Obama, not the Chris Christie.
Donald Trump is the oldest president in American history, and he won. I just think Hawley needs more time to make a name for himself, and to be tested politically
Gavin Lewis
Meh, Tucker is great at pointing out problems but terrible at coming up with solutions to them.
Jacob Brooks
agree to disagree. i still think his best shot is to capitalize on being the young, fresh-faced populist speaking to the countries real issues while Rubio, Cruz, and Pence trade barbs over how to punish doctors who perform abortions and how many countries we should have boots in.
Dominic Cooper
You forgot Bernie.
Bernie can still win.
Juan Rivera
tucker 2028
Joseph Martin
You can absolutely tell this thread was started by a Berniefag solely by describing Mike Pence and Ted Cruz as "far right".
Christian Morales
don't you mean 2024?
Liam Morales
DeSantis is much closer to a neocon than a right wing populist.
Eli Myers
How is he a neocon? As governor of Florida he's cracked down on illegals and pushed for more protection of the Everglades.
Asher White
UH UH UH UH The Populist we need
Camden Taylor
One of his parents is a U.S. Citizen, thus making him “natively born”. You don’t lose your rights just because you give birth somewhere other than U.S. dirt, you brainlet.
Luis Evans
I am a Tulsitard. And you are a leaf. So get outta here bud, you friggin suck at hockey, give your boys a squeeze and your mom a good night kiss cus papa's gonna take you out with these hands. and other such uncreative "chirps" you petrostate, francophone poos think qualify as insults.
And he pushed for a 48k minimum salary for teachers. Neocons are laissez-faire types. I don't know how familiar this guy is with Gov. Desantis.
Thomas Moore
He's probably just one of those retards who assumes that anyone who's pro-Trump is automatically a die-for-Israel neocon who supports open borders and free trade
Thomas Brown
Checked and yes!
Benjamin Bell
In all fairness DeSantis is a complete Israel shill. Idk how he feels about the wars, but that free speech violating law was something else
I'm actually down for a Josh Hawley or Rand Paul presidency.
Adrian Hughes
Hawley runs through that group pretty easily if he doesn't fuck up. DeSantis would have a chance. Neocons are labeled and dead.
Cooper Barnes
I largely agree with this analysis
Xavier Barnes
so are you an unironic nazi or an ancap waterhead?
Austin White
>Rand Paul Lol no. He's better off staying in the Senate. I don't dislike him but he's simply not presidential material. I don't think he could hurt a fly
Eli Cooper
Dems have a fucking awful roster right now.
Jacob Foster
Can't just let those slide by
Nathan Anderson
This thread is neglecting to address that Trump may likely be the last Republican president after 2024 due to demographic shifts and Texas turning blue, establishing an electoral college winter for the Republican party
Sebastian Edwards
>Nikki Haley My dick would be so hard if she ran.
Henry Martinez
I pick Cotton.
Zachary Hernandez
they really, really do. Even on something as basic as likable background/charisma, the only ones for whom their personalities aren't a negative are Yang Gabbard (and then only in the general) Bel Edwards (who is too conservative to make it out of the primary) Merkley (And even then that's cus he doesn't have enough media on him probably. I've run in the same circles as his daughter, and if she's anything like her father, Jeff is a hack)
All this can be blamed on the Obama team bleeding the DNC dry for personal efforts, the epic Dem losses of the early 2010s fueled by a shitty platform, and the Clinton-world purges that have been going on since 2015.
Maybe but smart republicans are moving left on economics which will be very popular. Parties move all the time to stay relevant. If republicans embraced the worker without the race baiting bullshit they'd win easily. Neither party is willing to do that now.
Henry Jones
>gavin newsom >kamala harris >kristen gillibran >far left dude you're fucking retarded, if they were far left they'd make bernie look like a liberal
Ryan Richardson
Well I definitely do not want any more banker's wars. After a 2nd Trump term where China collapses into civil war, the EU burns down, and America grabs Wexit, Baja, Cuba, Hong Kong, and Greenland, I think we can either use some small government and peace or let's just end this charade of the Republic and just endorse an American monarchy.
In what way is Mike Pence "far right," he doesn't agree with fag marriage?
Asher Miller
>taking over Baja, Hong Kong What are you smoking? >absorbing western Canada and buying Greenland That's less retarded, but I wouldn't give western Canada statehood or any political representation. I don't trust them
Mason Wright
that's a msm meme peddled by those who actually believe in identity politics. if you put a protectionist, anti-war, social conservative like Hawley in there, the entire middle of the country outside the west coast and northeast is in play. Choose a guy like DeSantis who is an immigration hardliner but softer on the environment and pro union, you would be competitive in the Rust Belt and up the midatlantic.
Dominic Parker
Gavin Newsom is straight up Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tier in his politics. And Kamala and Kirsten are both clearly further left than Bernie on social issues.
Cooper Jackson
Baja is rightful American clay, Hong Kong has recently expressed interest in joining the US, why not. The game of warring nation states must end if we are to ever expand into space. But we must kill off pinkos, Niggers, mussies, SJWs, CCP, and Kikes to thrive as a species.
>no kanye "praise jesus" west >no dwayne "closeted homosexual" johnson >this election is boring Fuck off faggot
Anthony Barnes
There it is, the dumbest fucking thing I've read all day.
Saying that Hong Kong has "expressed interest" in joining the US is about the same as someone in Brussels remarking that NYC wants to join the EU, simply because some Bernouts wrote some shit on Facebook.
Jose Cook
>msm meme No main stream media outlet discusses demographic shifts, only one I know of is the LA Times based on one article. >Names exceptions and group outliers Despite individuals such as DeSantis, the majority of Non-Whites are going to vote straight Dem every time. Look at voting statistics. As an user who has grown up in an "enriched" area, I can assure you I've seen first hand how these individuals act. You seem to be taking a Charlie Kirk approach, objectively speaking, Fren
Hunter Richardson
That he's firmly right wing on everything.
Pro free trade Supported Paul Ryan's evisceration of the social safety net Against increasing min wage at all Supported Trump tax cuts Totally cool with military industrial complex Huge war hawk Supports a balanced budget amendment As far right as you can go on abortion and LGBT issues and still be accepted by the establishment Pro war on drugs Anti environmental and climate regulations (not extremely, but still against) Low key wants to illegalize porn
Jack Lee
Cruz, Paul, Hawley, Cotton, DeSantis and Tucker Carlson are the only candidates I could actually stand to cast a ballot for.
Daniel Watson
>There it is, the dumbest fucking thing I've read all day.
>Saying that Hong Kong has "expressed interest" in joining the US is about the same as someone in Brussels remarking that NYC wants to join the EU, simply because some Bernouts wrote some shit on Facebook.
Explain. That runs the entire entire Republican party ideology. I'm especially interested in how you could vote for Cruz or Cotton as both are absolutely abhorrent
Carson Clark
DeSantis does seem very Israel friendly. He also is a populist in other areas. Not ideal but definitely better than someone like Nikki Haley.
Dominic Davis
So he's a globalist neocon, that's literally what you described. >As far right as you can go on abortion and LGBT issues and still be accepted by the establishment So not really that far to the right? >Low key wants to illegalize porn Low key = you think he does but have absolutely no proof
Look, I get it. You see wars for Israel and economic liberalism (what most democrats also support) and call it far right, but you ignore trade protection and immigration restriction. I guess if he supported those he would be a far right neon nazi?
