Another Attractive Republican Candidate Prepares to Run for President

I wish the Governor well.


'I am going to be running' against Trump: Hutchinson

Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson is running for president in 2024, he said Sunday, entering the Republican primary at a tumultuous time.

Trump indictment looms large »

 

Has 10x the chance that Desantis does

10 x 0 = 0

 

We shall see.

 

Unless a health issue forces Trump to drop out - none of them have a chance

If like in 2016, multiple candidates are running still in Feb 2024, will just make it a cakewalk for Trump

 

I prefer to wait for votes to be counted. IMHO, a primary vote for Trump is a vote for Republican defeat in 2024.

 

Sadly and unfortunately true. The Trump cult is determined to nominate him again even though he is unelectable. The recent indictment has only made him more attractive to his fans. Watch for a Trump circus on Tuesday.

I hesitate to add a "like" to this statement because I find it distasteful, but sadly it is true.

 

Yes, the other hopeless Republican candidates, who are in the single digits in the polls are working for the defeat of our party and the country in 2024. Why is their ego so large? Few people want them.

 

Running Trump is not best for the GOP party

However, the Biden Admin is such a disaster and with 19 more months to screw things up, Trump has a much better shot than many realize

I will not vote for Biden again
However, I do not want to vote for Trump either, so I am hoping that somehow the GOP option is someone else

 

Yikes, what a terrible candidate! Can't he run as an independent or something?

 

Why terrible?

 

Arkansas' GOP governor vetoes bill restricting transgender health care


Arkansas' Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson vetoed a bill on Monday that would have restricted health care procedures for transgender minors. Transgender rights have become a new flashpoint for Republican lawmakers nationwide.

"I was told this week that the nation is looking at Arkansas, because I have on my desk another bill passed by the General Assembly that is a product of the cultural war in America," Hutchinson told reporters while announcing his veto.

 

Health care is terrible?

 

LOL!

I forgot, old fashioned midwest Republicans were always supportive of chemical, hormonal, and surgical alteration of children. I guess that's why they went extinct.

 

Yes, I'm proud to say this is exactly what an old-fashioned midwest Republican would do -- leave people alone.
". . . He said the bill "while well-intended, is off-course," calling it an example of "vast government overreach" that would create "legislative interference with physicians and parents as they deal with some of the most complex and sensitive matters involving young people." . . . "

 

One more candidate to add to the list of those unlikely to get more than 1% of the primary vote. I'm sure he is nice man. He won't be president.

 

Seeing what a nice face you put on child mutilation is the reason why your type of Republican is going extinct. Not that you have to worry, you're independent, which means you'll be voting for Biden again. He's also pro child mutilation so you've got a lot in common.

 

"Child mutilation" is mere propaganda-speak for those who would rather have the hate than a solution. Governor Hutchinson's veto neither mandated nor denied anything. It left the choice to people, as Republicans are wont to do.

 

You're not knowledgeable on Republicans, are not a Republican, and your "Attractive
Republican Candidate," is unlikely to crack one percent, showing you don't have your pulse on what Republicans may want in a candidate. If you confuse "hate" with protecting children than that sounds more like a Democrat than an Independent. You're almost there.

 

From whom are you "protecting" children? From their parents?

A pet rock would be better than Trump

 

It's not 'the right' that is all of a sudden insisting that 5-year-olds should have the right to gender bender surgeries, and anyone who dissents is a 'fascist'.

 

Who is.....the mythical "left"?

 

Read a few threads around here, you'll find 'em. Or, try Reddit, you'll find them even faster, and nuttier.

 

So they are against gov't intrusion into daily lives of people and that made them extinct.

Why are you a supporter of big gov't intruding into the daily lives of individuals?

 

If he can
A) string two concerts together without getting confused and B) Demonstrate he can remain reasonably ethical

I will welcome him. Good governance requires good opposition
