Less incentive to replace him now that it’s clear that he’ll be running against Trump.

What makes it clear

 

[burrheadd]

You can't say the Republican guy leading now will get the nominee and be elected.

• Late winter 2015: Jeb Bush led in polls. Faded and Trump became the nominee.
• Late winter 2011: Mitt Romney led and became candidate but lost in general election.
• Late winter 2007: Muddy picture with Edwards, Giuliani, McCain and Romney all jockeying. McCain eventual GOP nominee who lost.
• Spring 1999: Bush 43 was ahead in polls. Got the nomination in 2000 and won.
• Spring 1995: Bob Dole was well ahead in the polls, became nominee but lost in general election.

First I’m hearing about. Must be big news.

He was a successful real estate developer with buildings and other properties all over the world. If all he ever did was be a game show host that's still more than what Michelle Obama has accomplished.

He’s a grifter looking for his next grift

What does being a racist property owner have to do with being president?

He’s a grifter looking for his next grift

As I told my dad last week, Trump is a scoundrel who knows how to run a country. As most presidents turn out to be scoundrels of some sort I'll take the one who knows what's best for the country.

Stop talking about Obama like that

Where do they come from? It’s getting scary that so many are literally brainwashed.

I always think of the Flintstones episode where Fred is hypnotized or some such and keeps walking around repeating Yaba-Daba-Doo like a mantra.

Less incentive to replace him now that it’s clear that he’ll be running against Trump.

What makes it clear

There are Republicans who are eternally loyal to the God Emperor (even if they don't want to admit it right now) and there are Republicans who will split the rest of the vote among the other candidates. It'll be enough for Trump to be the guy again.

The debates start in August. I wouldn't say it's a foregone conclusion before then.

Rush Limbaugh pointed out about the crowded Democratic field in 2020 that most of them knew they had no chance. But forever more they'll be known as the "former presidential candidate."
