I get tired of those who say Donald Trump is gonna co-op the 2024 Republican Presidential nomination ….
From where I stand?
THAT is simply NOT gonna happen…
The list of Republicans lining up to run grows by the week….
Tom Cotton joins the list….
Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton huddled with two dozen of his top donors Tuesday morning to describe his planning for a potential 2024 White House campaign, telling them a comeback bid by former President Donald Trump wouldn’t deter him from running.
During the meeting at the Hay-Adams hotel in Washington, which was described by two attendees, Cotton said he was prepared to run and detailed the work he’s done to develop an infrastructure for a national campaign. He emphasized that he wouldn’t defer to any other would-be candidates — including Trump — and said he planned to make a final decision on whether to run after this year’s midterm election…..
…
The gathering is the latest move in an intensifying competition among potential candidates to court major donors, with the midterm election just months away.
South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, for example, has established an allied super PAC that has drawn large contributions from the likes of tech giant Larry Ellison and Las Vegas billionaire Steve Wynn. DeSantis has been crisscrossing the country to raise money for his 2022 reelection bid, developing relationships with givers who could form the foundation of a financial network for a national campaign.
And former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley has set up a political action committee that has received checks from major donors like New York hedge fund manager Paul Singer.

Only someone who understands nothing about politics would use the fact that other candidates are plotting campaigns for the Republican nomination as indicating well, ANYTHING.
Why wouldn’t potential candidates start thebball rolling?
Trump is an old man entering his late seventies.Health issues could arise at anytime.There may be legal issues.Amusingly ,there is a thread here that Trump might not run at all.
Yet here we have James claiming that the mere fact that other would be candidates are putting their foot in the water so to speak as indicating a weakness in Trump.
As I previously pointed out there are usually multiple candidates in almost every presidential nominating contest .Thats nothing unusual or particularly worthy of comment.
However, when one is obsessed ?Thoroughly regular happenings receive outsized attention as we see here.

Not‘obsessed’……
Merely pointing out the FACT that against the perception the Donald ‘owns’ the party?
THAT simply IS NOT the reality…..
I agree with ur description of the GOP pimp….
The Trump ‘mythology’ i do NOT accept….
He shits like everyone else…..
And?
He maybe getting over with Washington
But the Empire State that he left seems to want him back to do a LOT of explaining why he shouldn’t be owing MILLIONS more in taxes…..
Maybe even from jail?
jamesb says
Listen?
The guy IS a media cash cow
Biden has little to no media skills on top of the bottom falling out on him , us and the rest the planet,…
His narrative is getting so bad?
I’m waiting for Democrats to step up to primary him….
And we have Reich of course doing his Pixie Dust and exhaling on social media it would seem….
