Wife and I had this discussion over dinner the other night. If for any reason Trump does not run for a second term, (health, family, impeachment, fed up with the media, whatever), who gets the nomination? Dems have a clown show but without Trump I'm not convinced the GOP has another standout candidate.

Dems have a clown show but without Trump I'm not convinced the GOP has another standout candidate. They don't need one. Trump has the power of incumbency. The only time an incumbent loses the WH is in a bad economy. Hoover, Carter, GHWB. Otherwise, even unpopular Presidents get re-elected. GWB and Obama being 2 such examples. GWB won 2000 by a few hanging chads, if you recall, but easily beat Kerry in 2004. Obama walked over Romney even after the voters threw the Dems out of the House and Obamacare was proving to be the disaster forecasted. If Trump stroked out tomorrow, the GOP would run Pence. Kasich would stick his nose back into things only if Trump died in office.

The local Utah BS news organization is running an article about the “friends of Romney” wanting him to run against Trump. There selling merchandise etc. Flipping idiots.

Pence, Haley, or one of the current governors. Lots of possibilities.

The conclusion my wife and I reached is they would run Pence but it is frightening that no one stands out as a qualified leader when our party should be producing several individuals capable of leading our country. Our political offices have become the home of career politicians that have no idea what it means to be a leader let aloneness the leader of a great nation. Pence is from my home state but I'm not sure I would follow his lead in a crisis.

I like Nikki Haley. Strong woman who gave the UN fits. She covers the minority side and the female side and the experience side. But as in all things she has to lay her cards on the table like everyone else to she if she is a candidate people could support.

Nikki Haley would be the choice if you want to continue America's never ending wars in the Middle East. Very few voters do.

Ted Cruz was the last man standing against Trump. Dunno if he could ever overcome the Zodiac Killer label, but he’d sure as hell never lose a debate.
