    Against Biden or Harris? I think you’re overestimating how hard they were to beat. Another Republican might not win the popular vote but, unlike Democrats, Republicans don’t need a mandate to get things done.

        That’s an unfair question. It’s just too easy to nitpick reasons why this candidate or that could never win. Just look at the list of very convincing reasons why Trump could never win. Most Democrats even believed most of them before Hillary flopped.

        Nikki Haley would probably be their best choice, though I could see Marco Rubio or Lindsey Graham. Hell, Matt Gates could probably win. He’s no more horrific than Trump.

          Yeah maybe Haley. All of those people did have a major failure on one point, they decided to punch up at some point. Trump doesn’t punch up, he insinuates he’s an equal to people he perceives to be more powerful than him. He’ll fondle the balls so he can reap the benefits of that power.

            Trump doesn’t punch up,

            Have you forgotten the Obama birth certificate fiasco?
