Republicans Jostling For 2024 Presidential Bids Could Face Yet Another Donald Trump (Traitor Tot)

.

PHOENIX, Arizona — As Republicans considering White House runs in a post-Donald Trump world assess one another as potential rivals, there looms one name who could complicate all of their planning: the other Donald Trump.

The GOP is set to officially nominate the president for a second term Monday evening, but some in the party are already looking ahead 48 months, to the election of 2024. Arkansas’ Tom Cotton, Texas’ Ted Cruz and Missouri’s Josh Hawley are just some of the senators thought to be eyeing a bid, as are the two from Florida, Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, and a number of Republican governors.

But in a party that has become more about Donald Trump than what Republicans used to call guiding principles, the president’s most loyal supporters could well belong to his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.

At a rally at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in late February, Trump Jr. and his girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, were hands down the most popular warmup speakers, even getting a prolonged roar as they walked to and from the camera riser for a pre-rally interview.

When he took the stage a short time later, a chant of “46” arose from the 15,000 — a reference to the president who will follow his father. Trump Jr. smiled but did not try to discourage them.

“Let’s focus on 2020 first. Eyes on the prize, all right? But thank you,” he said from the stage.

a low rated actor. Junior isn't either! He has no voice control, nor the ability to hold people's interest I guess they teach that in TV/movie training.

His personality is so smarmy that he's hated by other republicans.

PINO fooled some people because he was a mostly unknown quantity with an illusion of success.
The name is now attached to a known quantity, and a bad defeat in November tarnishes the name.
And as a known quantity, junior would be easier to diminish.
A close election, maybe not so much. But, a beat down and his silly plan is toast.
