its gonna be a fuckin mess imo. my guess is that Trump is gonna play kingmaker, whoever gets Trump's blessing will win (maybe Trump will pick himself, who knows how he'll feel in a couple years)

    Trump will either be dead or totally senile at that point. The GOP base is too rabid for a generic Republican like Nikki Haley to win. Ted Cruz is vile enough for the base but is still too much of a politician which will turn some off. Tom Cotton is vile enough but is too boring. Josh Hawley is vile, has charisma, and is really leaning into that working class rhetoric. Hawley scares the shit out of me. Tucker Carlson has some of the same traits as Hawley but he gives off weird rich guy vibes.
