No. And No.

Former Vice President Mike Pence is evidently getting into the 2024 Presidential race next week.

So evidently is former New Jersey Chris Christie.

No. And no.

Both men had their time in the sun, and neither’s time extends to 2024. Pence’s was 2016, when he provided a dull, predictable counterweight to Trump’s wild ride. Christie’s was 2009-2010, when his unexpected election as governor of deep blue New Jersey gave him a high profile platform to criticize the Obama Administration’s many unpopular policy failures.

Neither has a prayer of beating Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump for the Republican nomination in 2024.

Pence combines the dynamic personal charisma of Jeb Bush with the national electoral chances of Jeb Bush.



Christie combines the personal likeability of J. Edgar Hoover with the weight of a second J. Edgar Hoover.



And Christie has no excuse running again, having already run a dismal 2016 campaign that earned him exactly zero delegates (one less than Carly Florina).

Christie almost single-handedly ended Marco Rubio's Presidential campaign.  I'd be curious to see how he'd go after Trump.

   It was Christie who convinced Trump that Wray would be a great 'Best People' p(r)ick.

It was Christie who bearhugged Obama a week before the election to give Obama the veneer of a bipartisan Leader of Action after that hurricane.

I remember that little bit of stupidity.
