Matt Geitz is really on top of his game along with Jim Jordan

I have to say Lindsey Graham is my least fav....He hides his true agenda and never forces our agenda in congress. Kind of like a Paul Ryan type...sneaky and deep state on the down low....the worst kind of politician in my book..He plays both sides for his own advantage

I did like Graham going off at the Kavanaugh hearing but he definitely seems like a career politician type.

Seconded Haley as favorite (is she active ATM? If not, Crenshaw FTW).

AOC for the booby prize (no pun intended), though Schiff is certainly worthy.
Great call on Crenshaw. He is POTUS material imo.
He's the boss. He's got a perfect blend of respect for others with not taking any crap, his personal and political track records are equally impressive (insofar back as they go, his tenure is short but the time has been used well), and his head is definitely screwed on straight.

Give me Haley and Crenshaw in any order. Elect the more immediately electable one as POTUS now, and build the crap out of the other one during that one's eight years. Sixteen years of that kind of leadership would be a dream come true.

It will be fascinating to see the Repub field that vies to replace Trump in 2025. :) Guessing one will be a Trump.

Quite likely. The anti-dynasty sentiment seen in recent years makes me think a Trump running would not likely be successful... after Bush fatigue and Clinton fatigue, I suspect the only such option at all likely to succeed in the near future is Michelle Obama.

Among the Trump children, I doubt any have the combination of talents and personality to follow up The Donald... at least, not without a gap term or two in the middle to distance them from the raw emotion of the current electoral cycle. Perhaps a decade or so post-dad would open that window more widely.

With Don Jr. you would definitely have major fatigue but Ivanka has all the great conservative leanings and philosophy but with none of the personality and character flaws. I honestly can't believe she is his daughter. So I think she might be able to pull it off in 2024.

And if the first female POTUS was a Repub. it would just be great glory and the ultimate slam to the Dems. lol
