4. The only other candidate I think would be plausible...

Would be DeSantis. They like governors. Senators arent generally ideal, Obama notwithstanding.

But, it’ll come down to whoever Trump chooses. Today, I still think that puts Rubio in the prime position.

Of course, one slip up on Rubio’s part and Trump would yank all his Rubio fondness like he was pull-starting a mower!

Picking the Republican nominee, I think, is easier. It’s far less clear for me to pick who our nominee will be. I would go with Newsom although I’m less sure if that in recent weeks. Still, it’s fun to speculate!
