The Republicans Form Their Circular Firing Squad
An internecine spectacle would only weaken the GOP and probably help Joe Biden (and his handlers) sleepwalk their way into another term in the White House.

With the disappointing midterms, Republicans have lost a major battle in the fight to restore American greatness. We are now rapidly approaching the final standoff between the flailing Republican Party and the reenergized Democratic Party. The Democrats survived what should have been a political bloodbath in 2022, and the Right seems to be in the most vulnerable position since the 1960s, when Republicans were essentially a permanent minority in Washington.
It could happen again. Whether the GOP returns to minority status in two years will depend on the party determines who will be its nominee in the next presidential election. While many on the Right assume it will be Donald J. Trump, there are other candidates in the offing.
The obvious challenger is the wildly popular Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, whose leadership, policies, and personnel choices designed to make Florida the freest state in the union speak for themselves as to why he’d be a worthy successor to the Trump movement. Yet, in classic GOP fashion, the party appears unhappy with having merely two contenders to lead the collapsing party into what could be its final battle as a viable national political party.
Mike Pompeo, Trump’s former secretary of state and a man with almost Caesar-like ambitions with a last name to match those pretensions, will likely enter the fray in 2024. So, too, will former Vice President Mike Pence. There is much talk that the Trump Administration’s former ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, may also enter the raace.
