Cotton himself has definitely been trying to pitch himself as Trump 2.0. So regardless of what the party does once Trump is out of office, Cotton will undoubtedly try to carry on his White Supremacist legacy.
Tom Cotton seems to channel the MAGA conspiracy theories, crazy views, and racism of Trump like no other. So if the MAGA cult wants to double down, then he is their guy, and I expect it to be.
Believe it or not, he doesn't have the charisma like Trump.
Meanwhile DeSantis is an imitator of Trump and wouldn't be surprised if he's nominated.
Lincoln Project seems like they're going to prop up Romney; from what I read he's basically the only one they're not going after.
Yeah LP wants to go back to the "elite evil genius" GOP candidates (e.g. both Bushes). Romney will definitely run. I do think Haley provides an opportunity for the GOP to pull a "see, we are not racist/sexist!".
Some type of sentient sludge drudged up from the most racist of lakes in Alabama or Florida, or Matt Gaetz
My guess it will be someone that works well with the media and can laugh at himself. IE Dan Crenshaw from Texas.
We'll see. 2024 candidates are going to depend on what happens this year and in 2022.
I didn't mean that literally for him haha, but his cabinet/style of governing. Him and his goons tricked/convinced us into the Iraq war after all.
OP
OP
Crenshaw is too young but he'll be there somewhere in the 2030s/2040s like AOC will
If the Lincoln Party branch of the party wins, Larry Hogan (who is terrible, don't be fooled by his mirage or reasonableness. His advocacy against school funding is really bad).
Otherwise, I think if Trump loses this time he could potentially win the nomination again if the field is super split up. Assuming he isn't dead, in jail, or enjoying asylum in Russia by then.

I selected Hawley. I think him and Cotton will both play well with primary voters.
Tucker Carlson too, if he actually runs.
I'm very skeptical the base will nominate Nikki Haley, but she would probably be the most dangerous in the general. Feels like the Dems will lose a majority of their recent gains in the suburbs the moment the GOP nominates a woman who goes back to just talking about taxes and doesn't say all the quiet parts out loud.

Tucker Carlson
Haley will probably run but she's not what the neo confederate party is looking for in any way

Whoever is the loudest during debates.
Romney will run but lose the primary because he won't be loud enough and try too hard to appeal to moderates. Cotton will have a larger presence at first but drop off after a dumb comment that gets him. Haley will say she's considering and then not run. Trump family will disown politics, while claiming they will run for the next 50 years to grift people (if they don't wind up fleeing the country or going to jail). DeSantis is fucked from his COVID response.
Hawley is loud enough he might get it. He's started to criticize the party generally while keeping certain authoritarian rhetoric in play. But it's likely none of these, and instead we'll see an outsider again. I feel it could be a younger millennial, who will make fun of all the old people being out of touch, and do like Trump did and turn the entire party into his own.

Former Kentucky Governor Matt Bevins, then everyone can see how much worse Mitch would have to be to get kicked out of office in Kentucky.
It depends entirely on whether or not Trump loses in the Fall. If he does the. I think you'll see them ease up on their Trumpian messages on race and you'll see a candidate like Cruz, Romney or Rubio attempt to reclaim some of their Latino vote.
People forget but pre-9/11 the GOP was attempting to pivot towards a platform that was more inclusive toward Latino voters. They're a demographic that is very catholic in the south with suburban Latinos in particular leaning towards many conservative ideals.
If Trump loses then I think you'll see a candidate who differentiates themselves based on what I outlined above. It would be interesting to see.

Y'all acting like trump will even be around in 2024 if he loses in November. He will either: Be in prison, be living in exile in whatever country he escaped to in order to avoid prosecution, or he will have eaten a bullet.
Trump's "legacy" will be more of a factor in 2024 because the man himself has no ideology, so a legacy is amorphous and can take the shape of whatever racist policy is fashionable at the time.
The image of a primary campaign where Tucker, Cotton, and Haley are all trying to out-Trump each other in order to energize whatever of his base has survived Covid is going to be quite the circus.

What do you mean "you guys" can't be serious? It's the republicans that are serious about him running not the democrats.
Romney, if Trump loses in 2020.
If Trump wins in 2020: Any number of crazy right-wing grifters like Papa John for example. Or maybe we'll just have Trump forever.
