If they come later, they probably won't be universal like people wanted. The GOP won't let it happen.
It's going to be some shit goblin like Tom cotton so prepare yourself accordingly.
Idk this whole Trump experience...... let's see how many R seat survive 2020 elections. If enough lose Romney is going to look way more mainstream to republican than he does now.
unlike Bush whose family is a foundation in the Republican Party. If Trump loses big I can see them all use his name as a curse word. Especially since they got what they wanted from him already in judges and tax cuts.
Their base will still be radicalized white supremacists who won't want the racist genie back in the bottle. The ~~~establishment~~~ Republicans will conform to that base's desires.
DeSantis will try to take the mantle, as will Cotton, Crenshaw, and Hawley.
She resigned from Boeing now that they've started hinting they want a bailout. I think she'll definitely run, but LOL at this GOP base nominating a woman of color.
I think the GOP can still win National Elections if they run hard on white nationalism sadly--lots of "economically anxious" people out there, and we all know which way the Rust Belt states are trending demographically.
Thankfully, I don't think Trump's racist rhetoric was the sole reason he won, but also his gamesmanship, which I don't think any racist can replicate. He was tailor made to sweep the GOP voters off their feet.
I don't see a Hawley having the same kind of success, for instance.

Yeah but without a snakes head (Trump) I think they go back to being just the tea party Idiots mostly seen in the house. I expect Republicans with money to promote guys like Romney. Trump is bad for business..... these idiots got a tax break but broke the economy a year later. If anything they'll want people with a record of governing (Scott) or guys like Romney with money and successful businesses.
I honestly think the fear of Gillum running against him again kept a lot of his worst racist traits in check..... smh
Cotton's like the least likely imo. I just don't think he has the same presence as guys like DeRacist or Hawley.
I feel as though you're not distinguishing between party elites and their actual base. Their base won't want any of the things you mentioned. They'll want racism, and as others in this thread have noted, Hawley and DeSantis et al. will try to pivot toward that European right-wing Welfare for Whites Only model and thread the needle that Vector mentions above.
She'll be "one of the good ones" they think can sway liberals.
He really isn't but I guess some white suburban soccer moms would think that. He'd kinda scratch that Reagan itch for them.
DeSantis is sitting at approvals in the high 50s, low to mid 60s. He'd have a damn good shot at guaranteeing FL at the very least. Ran a racist campaign to get elected, then moderated himself in certain areas. Perfect for the people you describe.
Yep. Cotton's got the hateful nature down pat. I just don't see any semblance of charisma there.
Still catching up with the thread, but good grief. I'm sorry for being curt, but this is how somehow who thinks they have a mastery of politics would handle the situation. Not sure why this poor suggestion needed to be repeated more than once. Throwing people under the bus based on the off chance republicans are going to do what they already do and misrepresent the situation is foolishness to the highest degree.
The governors and mayors are starting to voice their daily displeasure and frustration with the Trump admin briefings.
New York will secede before this is over. Their press briefings are super real
I do think he looks like a politician from central casting. I think he plays the part.
I think if Nikki Haley gets transported to the ticket she wins but she has to get there and there's no way she gets the Trump ring kiss in the next 2 cycles.
The problem with a lot of the feminism "hire more women prison guards" mainstream discourse is that the moment the GOP puts up a competent woman, its game over. Fortunately for us, most of the women candidates they have in the senate are either weasels (Susan) or insane conspiracy theorists (McSally & Joni).

Macron has a 51% approval rating. Shit's bad because normally the French hate all their presidents.
Another reason I want Biden's VP, whoever she is, to become president. We can't let a Republican woman get there first and poison all the discourse and ideas about women presidents for god knows how long.
I am not saying that outright racist idiots won't win elections in racist states. I am saying purple Republicans (those who survive 2020) and donors will clip them in the wing come national elections time. What you'll see are Rick Scott types where yeah they are racist but they do it discreetly through policy and you'll see never Trumpers who (while also racist) will run on old favorites like "economic security and reigning in DemS spending". A populist (aka racist) is going to have a hard time coming out that party with a nomination if they get their ass kicked the way it's looking like they'll get their ass kicked. Mostly because blaming it on outright racists will make it easier for the diet racist to make themselves look better and try to win over suburban voters who are gonna leave that party high and dry come 2020.
Can't wait to hear about how Nikki Haley will snap back the suburbs from GOP operatives in 3 years.
As unfortunate as it is, if the GOP puts up a "idiot" woman at the top of the ticket (a la Michelle Bachmann) she'll get flayed in the GE and Dems will probably win Men.
DeSantis is way better at doing it than Voldemort, which is why he's far more popular than he ever was. DeRacist is actually the perfect politician to try to carry a Tucker Carlson like image in a national election.
This might be dumb. I get Hawley's appeal. But why is DeSantis so popular in Florida despite being a racist POS.
I think it'll be Hawley.
I think it'll be Hawley.
IIRC there was a study that found female party/national leaders came from the conservative end of things more often. Not because of "more prison guards" discourse but because of the way cutting against the liberal/feminine stereotypes ends up being an asset.
Haley's stuff with the confederate flag probably and her personal background is likely an auto-DQ for the white nationalists there anyway.
He's already said too much to be cast as a racist and his close association to Trump is going to brand him. Which is something we should discuss in a few months. If Trump loses big does his closest supporters get branded as MAGA and ran out of public life. What if he is prosecuted?
Voldemort's greatest gift is his ability to keep himself away from public displays of fuckery. Stone cold bastard on policy, but he takes care of his people publicly and can soulless smile on cue. He reminds me of a NFL team owner......

Once again we're talking about Florida, motherfucking Florida. That place is a shit hole and we mock it all the time. Hell being from Florida is the main reason I don't think Voldemort wins the election. That place isn't like the rest of the country and the political calculations/moves aren't the same as elsewhere.
Im half convinced at this point Trump already had the vaccine and this is one big conspiracy. For a germaphobe the way he has been lying about taking a test makes zero sense.
