Is this right or am I off base here?

Tier S (eventual nominee): Perry
Tier 1 (better than even odds of victory): Trump
Tier 2 (earnestly think they can win it): DeSantis, Pence
Tier 3 (running for VP or cabinet): Haley, Scott, Elder(?), Youngkin(?)
Tier 4 (running for media attention): Vivec, Christie, Hutchison
Tier 5 (inexplicably running because there’s no upside that can see): the rest

Yeah I agree. But afaict she’s not in on the joke, similar to pence where there’s no path but he’s clearly in to win anyway

hard to imagine what christie is thinking imo. trump isnt going to give him poo poo this time around and he doesnt need to get his name out there. maybe he really thinks he has a chance.

Yeah he’s an odd one for me. I get total loser energy from him like he’s perfectly aware he can’t win, but also he’s not in the sheer loser tier because he can still get plenty of media appearances, so what the gently caress is he doing?

a thing a lot of people forget about christie is that hes also corrupt (remember the bridge thing) so he figures he can get at least second breakfast and elevensies paid for, for the next year or so

Christie is either trying (feebly) to get back at Trump for picking Pence for VP or he has a humiliation fetish.


Honestly it might be both

I really want at least one debate with Pence and Trump sharing the stage, and it's disappointing that Trump doesn't want to do them. He's denying me funny TV.

The strategy they leaked is Trump gets in for the third debate, and only sooner if the ratings are huge. IMO the biggest things stopping Pence v Trump is Pence qualifying at all, and Pence staying in the race until Debate 3. It is kind of funny that Pence is the obvious choice to blend Trumpish and Christian and Neocon alike, hold hands and move forward, but 0 people treat him as a viable option.

I'm not surprised. Haley has a history of being the dark horse that wins elections she has no right winning. In 2010 the SC gubernatorial election, she was polling in last place when Sarah Palin came out of nowhere and endorsed her. Haley's numbers exploded overnight after that endorsement and she went on to win the governorship. I'm guessing that some donors think this can happen again, they see her as the "adult in the room."

But it won't happen because SC will vote for Trump even if he had already died of a stroke and that will end her campaign.
