RFK Jr. should be in the "never in a million years" category. He is a lunatic.

That's too Alex Jonesian. Nazis hate gays and immigrants like DeSantis. It's not big a leap. Did you expect 200 Nazis?

I didn't expect ANY Nazis. A group of 15 anything doesn't strike me as a major, newsworthy event.

What about 15 aliens from outer space?

um how about these boys, anything to say about that?

That's a typical alien pod unit. Not newsworthy.

Now, if they were 8-10 feet tall, that would be something different.

At least one alien in there, for sure.

Wow.

Would be nice to see the tide finally turn.

Thanks for doing most of the typing for me.

No prob. Note that I was only including candidates that have officially declared. That's why Harris and Warren weren't included. But if they declared I would put them in the never in a million years category.

Yeah, you're right. Mea culpa - I was too generous to him.

Wait, my bad. The extended quote was classic Haley, trying to please both sides and essentially calling the indictment politically motivated:

Hedging her bets, of course. 'Two things can be true.' GTFOH

Republicans (I'm not a Republican so i can't actually vote in their primary in the state of Utah):
-------------------------------
Still under consideration:
Chris Christie
Nikki Haley
Tim Scott
Mike Pence
Doug Burgum
Asa Hutchinson

Not under consideration:
Ron DeSantis - It is true that I considered him in the past but I've now crossed him off the list.
Larry Elder
Perry Johnson
Vivek R.

Never in a million years:
Donald Trump

Democrats (I'm not a Democrat either but they let anyone vote in their primary in the state of Utah):
-------------------------------
Still under consideration:

Not under consideration:
Marianne Williamson
RFK Jr.

Never in a million years:
Joe Biden

I know you are conservative but Biden is better than Pence. Thank god he didn't go along with the coup attempt but he otherwise held his nose and enabled Trump and helped pave the way for him getting elected.

The Self-Destructive Donald Trump - WSJ

WSJ editorial board with a good oped

If Mr. Trump is the GOP nominee, he is unlikely to defeat Joe Biden. But if he did win, the document fiasco is what a second term would be like. He wouldn’t be able to deliver the conservative policy victories that Republicans want because he can’t control himself. He’d be preoccupied with grievance and what he calls “retribution.” The best people won’t work for him because they see how he mistreated so many loyalists in the first term.

If Republicans really want to defeat Democrats, the press and a hostile bureaucracy, they’ll nominate a candidate who won’t shrink from a fight but will also be smart enough not to blunder into obvious traps.

If Republicans nominate Mr. Trump again, they won’t “own the libs,” as the faddish saying goes. The libs will own them.

The Self-Destructive Donald Trump - WSJ

WSJ editorial board with a good oped

I tend to agree with this opinion. I can't understand people who think Trump is capable of winning. He was so extreme in 2016 that he only won (not the popular vote, of course) due to a very energized GOP base and an unmotivated, complacent Hilary Clinton base. He has shown that he is much more extreme-- especially after his 2020 loss-- than anybody thought reasonable. He will get murdered.

Joe Biden never in a million years? lol. I's Grandpa Joe or bust, I think. I wish he were younger, but you play the hand you're dealt. I think of the top part of that list, Chris Christie would be the only one I would feel comfortable voting for. Not like I'd trust the GOP ever again
