Who do you want to see run? I've attached a list of notables right now... Are there any write-ins for you right now?
Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Mike Pence, Tim Scott, Ted Cruz, Glenn Youngkin, Chris Sununu, Kristi Noem, Greg Abbott, Larry Hogan, Chris Christie, Asa Hutchinson, Mike Pompeo, Liz Cheney and Will Hurd.
With Ron DeSantis' recent track record, I'd really like to see him run.

Our country NEEDS Trump, at least his policies and strength. As we've seen, a lot in our country dont WANT Trump. Their loss.
Obviously DeSantis seems to have charisma and some momentum lately. He would get railroaded by the media just the Trump for standing up and speaking out. Probably the next best choice for me.
I'm sure Pence would be a solid choice too. He seems to be level headed and holds his own.
That's my top 3 choices.

Trump is my choice, BUT, I think there are too many "Trump haters" for him to get elected. That being said, my next choice is Desantis. IMO, the absolute WORST thing would be Trump not getting the nomination and running independent, that would take votes from the Republican nominee and we're stuck with another Democrat.

No offense but anyone in their 70s or older should not run.
I have no clue who is good or bad or neutral. My personal engagement of anything politics is at all time low. Don't trust any single person.
My observations over they years...whomever is being groomed as the early front runner ends up falling out before primaries are over, regardless of party.

I'm with Trump 90% on policy and business, but nearly 0% on his vocal and social media habits. Just shut the flip up!
Trump absolutely cannot run as a third party. No way, no how, nope. Hello Ross Perot, and consequently, Bill Clinton. I'm not going through the "watering down the vote" lecture.
Desantis is the obvious choice as of now. Nothing against Pence, but I don't think he has enough charisma to win enough votes. Haley and Noem are probably an election cycle or two too young.
How about this...Noem and Gabbard? A die-hard conservative and an Air Force vet D turned R. If nothing else, could not be easier on the eyes for a Presidential ticket.

If Trump is the front runner it will be another easy win for the Dems, too many that hate him. He could have easily won last go round had he acted a bit more like a gentleman instead of so hard headed childish.
I'd like to see Desantis & Tulsi Gabbard.

IMO, the absolute WORST thing would be Trump not getting the nomination and running independent, that would take votes from the Republican nominee and we're stuck with another Democrat. That is EXACTLY my feelings too. I think that if Trump ran that would bring out the haters in droves just to vote against him and the Republican party would lose by default. If he were to run, then win and the Republicans didn't hold a super majority in both the House and Senate for his full term I feel the Democrats would handcuff him with whatever legal means they could throw at him and hobble the country in the process. I also fear that with the mail-in vote there is no way a Republican will ever hold the highest office in the land. I have yet to see proof that EVERY mail in vote has been checked against the voter registry and deemed valid. Statistics don't lie, look at how many races were determined to be for the Democrats during the last election. Statistically, shouldn't the number be split 50/50 between Democrats and Republicans? Just because no proof was supposedly found of voting illegally doesn't mean that there wasn't any. I say ditch the "mail-in" vote for everyone except for the deployed military. If we have to show a picture ID when we vote, why not the rest of the country? But I digress.

I'd be asking on what grounds? Maybe they should riot and loot, then the police could stand there and watch like in a Lib town. 🙄

DeSantis is showing his true colors lately. Another wolf in sheep clothing. Bible warned us about.

I'd like to see some context... Were they impeding anything? Laura Loomer doesn't have the cleanest track record being cordial at events so I'm not bought into it yet. There's a lot of information that's unknown and it could be staged for all we know. I'm weary of believing a conspiracy theorist posting something with no other corroboration at face value.

At this point I do not have an opinion. It may not matter by the time we get to vote in the primaries anyway. I really would like to see Indiana move them to an earlier date.
I just want to see someone running that I do not have to hold my nose to vote for.
I really do not see Trump getting the election no matter who the Dems nominate.

Trump will be 78 by the time next election rolls around, meaning you have him till he's 82. Don't need people this old in top leadership positions. They don't allow it in most businesses and shouldn't in government, hit 70 and you're out.

If the lower age is because they are afraid of decision making experience....at 75+ there is undoubtedly an increasing chance of loss of mental and physical capabilities not to mention a real chance for death mid-term Republicans are going to shoot both feet and slice their own throat. Should be the easiest win....

I have also known plenty of young folks who make excellent leaders. But you have to be 40 to run for president... Law of averages catch up to most of us.

Just as a comparison average age of fortune 500 ceo is 57. Oldest being 91, Warren Buffett. There were 10 companies out of 500 with a leader 70 or older.
On the other end 10 youngest are 43 or under with Mark Z being youngest at 37.
