      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 …

          Replying to @RepublicanDore @baseballcrank
          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.

          Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Benjy Sarlin

          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 …
