GOP 2024 hopefuls face challenge: Not upsetting Trump

BY MAX GREENWOOD - 07/06/21 06:00 AM EDT
 
Ambitious Republicans with eyes on their party’s 2024 presidential nomination are treading cautiously in their political pursuits, wary of upsetting former President Trump.

With early auditions for the GOP’s presidential nod already underway, would-be candidates are grappling with just how aggressive they should be in their overtures. They are aware that appearing too eager or garnering too much attention risks upsetting a former president who has openly floated the possibility of a 2024 comeback campaign.

“Donald Trump likes being the center of attention,” one veteran of several Republican presidential campaigns said. “He likes the idea that the nomination is his if he wants it.”

“So there’s a real dilemma here if you’re a Ron DeSantis or a Nikki Haley, because you need to get your name out there and make those connections with donors and voters without stepping on Donald Trump’s toes.”

This is the latest GOP straw poll I could find.  Interesting that of 5 of Trump's closest competitors, none would be what I would call a GOP NT'er.  Kind of shows that Romney, Cheney,  and their  Lincoln Project pukes are an extreme minority of little Chicuacua's biting at our ankles.

And if they are overly deferential to Trump, they repel the white collar voters who switched to Clinton and Biden.  No doubt every candidate will be asked to name at least one difference.  The situation makes 2024 an uphill climb regardless of whom the dems nominate.

Joe is dead meat for 24.  And Downtown Willie Brown's whore is circling the drain.  I Wonder why the Rats aren't scrambling like cockaroaches for a sane qualified person to run.

Because there are no longer any sane, qualified people left who still admit to being registered as a member of the democrat party.
