Ah?….The Media…..
Always looking for the “Flash’.and ‘Noise’…….
Fastest way for Donald Trump to turn on the guy who said under oath he thinks Trump is full of shit is be seriously considered for a run….
Talk about NOT qualified?
Let’s be clear: Almost no one thinks Tucker Carlson is running for president. But imagine if he did.
As tributes to the former Fox personality poured in from the GOP Monday — “the most important and powerful voice in politics today,” the high-octane conservative Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) was quick to tell POLITICO — speculation immediately centered on what Carlson, who occupied Fox’s influential 8 p.m. perch, would do next. Head to talk radio, like the late Rush Limbaugh? Jump to a right-leaning rival like One American News Network or Newsmax or even, uh, Russian state TV, all of which openly courted him in the hours after news broke of his departure? Start a Substack?
And then there’s the longest shot: Enter the 2024 Republican primary. POLITICO invited a murderer’s row of GOP strategists to play pretend — and act like a general consultant to a hypothetical Carlson presidential bid. We asked them to vet his strengths and weaknesses in a 2024 campaign, and solicited pointers on how they’d advise him.

Some urged him to get in quickly. Several advised the Fox star to go directly after Donald. One even joked that he should launch a ticket with his fellow freshly ousted cable exile Don Lemon….

“But my goodness, talk about epic pay-per-view, pro wrestling, Trump vs. Carlson must-see TV. The internet might melt.”

While I doubt he would run,
Tucker Carlson would be a major candidate for the Republican nomination if he did.
Much more so than your latest crush, Nikki Haley.
BTW Jack?
Just back from my 6 mts doctor check up and guess whose name came up for the GOPer’s?
None other than Nikki Haley!…..
I ain’t the only one on this…..
Oh WOW,
That proves exactly what?
Haley is running behind two undeclared candidates(DeSantis and Pence), has shown little ,if any , upward movement , despite having been a declared candidate longer than anyone except Trump ,and has already had to revise her fundraising totals downward after “bookkeeping errors.”
I stand by my feelings now…..
Haley IS in this thing…….
Pence and DeSantis are names ahead….
But she could be the fall back choice
What’s much more likely is that she and Scott split the vote in S.C. Primary and Trump wins, thus eliminating them both.
Good get Jack…,,
THAT could happen in a LOT. Of primates
Nikki Haley has less than no chance of becoming the nominee…maybe a VP for someone, and hey then she could take over if the Presidential candidate passes…lol…
But seriously, she won’t be a consensus candidate…this is Trump’s party to lose, don’t think all the indictments in the world will change his supporters minds and they still make up the largest swing group in the Republican Primary and the most vocal…
Look at all the polls right now Trump leading…anytime he gets press it just adds to his numbers…that has been his way…apparently…”This is the Way”…
Haley ‘s chance would come with Trump dropping into a legal hole or being unable to continue running…
Ot DeSantis coming back and running neck to neck with Trump canceling each other out….
Yes….Consensus…Is my feeling and I think I have company out there
But I do NOT count her out in the end…..
