    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Ross Douthat

    Agreed with this as a general rule of thumb (less than an absolute bar), including Ross' point about Hawley. Doesn't matter if you're pro- or anti-Trump or somewhere in between (or Trump himself), it will be harder to win in 2024 if you're closer to the Trump blast radius.https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/1360225476783067137 …

    One of my working theories is that no Republican who was politically prominent during the Trump era is likely to be elected president of the United States: https://www.politico.com/interactives/2021/magazine-nikki-haleys-choice/ …

        Republicans turned to a governor after Watergate. Democrats, after the Clinton years, recovered the WH with a guy who was an obscure state senate backbencher until 2004. That's good news for DeSantis, Abbott, or Noem.

        It's way too soon to write anybody off. But the deep divisiveness of Trump within & outside of the party will mean that anybody who had a lot of engagement for or against Trump will be asked, first, to justify that in ways that will turn some people away off the bat.

        Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Jeremy Coleman

        The thing for Bush in 2000 was that the party liked his dad personally, but mistrusted him politically; he was able to build his own political profile as a GOV, but also rallied social conservatives when the choice came to just him vs McCain.https://twitter.com/jeremycoleman/status/1360248612576395269 …

        Only counterpoint is GWB. He was the guy in like 1997. He was the next gen after Dole looked ancient in 96. DeSantis is the right combo of fighter and executive that Trump never was.

        Trump will do this to anybody who seems in danger of getting the 2024 nomination.https://twitter.com/BenjySarlin/status/1360223025245937673 …

        Were Haley to rise to the top of the polls, Trump would be watching it 24/7 on cable, getting jealous of the attention, and inevitably he would say and do outrageous things to get the spotlight and then demand she affirm it all as a loyalty test. This is Trump 101. https://twitter.com/allahpundit/status/1360218967936229379 …

        The GOP field now is going to ignore the big media. Feeding the trolls achieves nothing. Starving em might

        The flipside is that any Republican outside that sphere lacks the necessary name recognition for a national race. The likes of DeSantis and Haley appear to be as well positioned as anyone, but three years is a long time in this environment!

        A lot of the media simply can't fathom that someone would cast a ballot for Trump or a Trump like figure. It's a huge ideological blind spot for them.
