Trump claims would-be running mates ‘begging’ for spot on 2024 ticket

@DCPatriot   

The problem for Republican politicians is Donald Trump makes it all look easy ---- but they overlook the pesky reality that Trump has decades of hands-on experience in global economics.  He could renegotiate trade agreements, negotiate directly with private sector CEOs on behalf of American workers, use tariffs with surgical precision and identify and eliminate the regulations having the greatest impact on short and long term economic growth ---- all because he knows what the hell he's doing.  This is the same reason Trump can pivot on a dime,  accept risks other can't even see and freeze the blood of our economic competitors.  The man is a walking, talking, breathing cost/benefits analysis.

This is a rather long-winded (sorry about that) way of saying God help us once Cruz oppens the door and drops the key on the desk.

@Right_in_Virginia
Agree but not because I have a problem with Cruz but the socialists have declared open warfare on anyone that does not support their agenda and Cruz simply does not have the iron spine to take it and beat it.

[Right_in_Virginia]

[...] Trump had his shot. Instead of just entrenching into Donald Trump for 2024, there’s plenty of time to find somebody else.

Here's an idea @LMAO ---  Instead of going through your talking points from The Lincoln Project looking for banal, gratuitous smackdowns of the former President.... name two people you prefer head the ticket in 2024.

Then make your case.

Good point @EdinVA

@catfish1957

Really?

Who?

Name two.

They are all career politicians,and self-centered SOB's.

When you vote for more of the same,don't be surprised when you get more of the same.

Read further....  Two I mentioned were DeSantis and Cotton.  You don't think Trump isn't a self-centered SOB?  The man is the king of Narcism

Come on Pete, you can do better than that!!!!!!!

[Right_in_Virginia]

Come on @catfish1957   Are you telling me no other man who felt qualified to be the sole military and economic leader of the free world has ever been accused of narcissism?  When did this become such an abomination?

Was it the soy milk?   

[corbe]

   I do believe that you are suffering from a serious bout of Cruz ENVY @Right_in_Virginia

   Do i get any kudos for NOT Quoting you?

Have you had a chance  to review my two questions that you have refused to answer?

Just in case you forgot, i'll ask again

1) Do you agree  that Hillary Clinton's lawlwessness at least warrants an investigation?  Or do you believe, in Trump's words, not mine, she "suffered enough?"

2) Are you cool with another nearly 8 trillion  added to the debt under his watch due to his reluctance to take on Democratic party spending? Not only refuse to challenge it but go along with it?

Answer yes or no.  No spin. These are simple yes or no questions

And, you can't make it about me. No references to soy milk or Lincoln Project.  I know that'll be hard to do but try

[LMAO]

 We will have to keep an eye on this new govenor of Va. Time will tell if he could be one.

Don't know much about Cotton. But I like Desantis

But you know that the diehards are losing the argument when their only reply is to demand that you give them a name for an election that still 3 years away and many candidates will pop up between now and then for us to scrutinize and evaluate

Some may disagree and that’s fine but I’ll take Goldwater/Coolidge conservatism any day over big spending populism

I came back to read this post a second time. It made my head spin...and not in a good way.

I have always considered your posts to be somewhat informed (not that I didn't fact check) but I'm not sure that will happen in the future.

Yes, Trump is/was a pitbull and I agree with your assessment of him on the economy, I always knew that Trump would do well in that area.  Making money, seeking financial opportunities, assessing risk and gain is what he's done his whole life. He gave us the lowest unemployment rate in history, he brought about jobs, renegotiated some contracts and brought back patriotism. There's no denying that.  He also spent a fortune; but part of that spending was related to COVID. I thought his response to COVID was excellent.  He got the job done.

He was tough as nails and had more energy than a locomotive, but the reality is he's 75 and will be 78 around election time. With that being said he may decide not to run again.  His age alone is a factor and he may want to enjoy his time left with running his businesses and enjoying family rather than beating his head against the leftist/GOPe brick wall.

On to Cruz.  I absolutely disagree with you.  I think he's learned a thing or two from Trump, and I think he'd make an excellent President. I'm not going to rehash his qualifications -- Kamel is VP and they allowed Bammy the presidency, so, right or wrong, I think it's a mute issue.

I doubt that Cruz is going to run again, for the same reasons Trump may not. Who the heck wants to deal with the leftists bat crap crazies?  I think conservatives are going to be hard pressed to find a candidate for that reason.

My ideal ticket: Trump/Cruz.  Two unbeatable powerhouses; each in their own way.  That's never going to be a reality though.

IMHO I think the GOP is in trouble as far as candidates should Trump not run @Right_in_Virginia

As long As Trump stays healthy he will be the GOP nominee in 2024. Everyone knows that. The question is who will be the GOP nominee if Trump keels over before 2024?

?? It's not only a matter of Trump's health,  it's a matter of whether or not he wants to be put through the wringer again.

Nunes? Cruz? Noem? Greene? Paul?

I'm more worried about this country just making it till ' 22 and having a fair election without the granting of amnesty and packing the courts with liberals.

  You don't, I don't, and in truth, no one else does either.  2024 is a LONG way down the road and there is no telling what might happen between now and then.

IMHO, a Trump/Cruz ticket is not a good idea.  Republicans wouldn't get past the 2015/2016 primaries.  It's just not in us. @libertybele

I agree, we've got a very weak bench, if victory is the goal in 2024.  But add onto that candidate the weight of the sheer disappointment that Trump won't get his shot at the second term stolen from him.  I think this would be real and formidable.  I don't see anyone overcoming the fallout.

[corbe]

   Trump is holding the whole GOP party hostage to his inflated ego, as he is apt to always do.  NO ONE can make a move until that SOB decides wtf he is gonna do.

Cruz didn't do a darn thing wrong and it would be really stupid on the part of some people to be so stubborn that they wouldn't vote for Trump because he chose Cruz to run with him. That would also set Cruz up to run in '28.

Only Trump can make the decision if he's going to run again. If he decides not to run people will be disappointed, but that's life. He has some time to make that decision.

"Again"? @libertybele   Check out the Jan 6 Commission.  That committee wants the DOJ to indict him ... for anything.

You missed my point.  That disappointment is not "life"  --- it's the election.

   How come @Right_in_Virginia YOU get to actually edit @libertybele 's quotes and you jump down my throat for doing the same to your quotes, Hypocrite much Darlin?

Well, there's that too. Granted 'they' are going to do everything in their power to make sure he doesn't run again.  I get that.

[kevindavis007]

No thank you.


By the time Trump runs again, he will be Biden's age.


How about someone younger.

@kevindavis007  that begs the question; who would you like to see run?  Cruz, Noem, Greene, Nunes, Pompeo, Hawley, Tim Scott???  Then of course we'll have the RINO's lining up; Rubio, Rick Scott, Romney, Haley, etc.
