2020 US Election

Muahahaha

An early signal of what direction the Republican Party are going- next Sunday both Trump and Mike Pompeo will address CPAC which is the main conference of the Republican Party . Nikki Haley has not been invited to speak and Mike Pence is invited to speak but he has refused the invitation, perhaps fearful of an angry Trump crowd shouting him down as a traitor.

The Republican Party is owned by Trump now and Id expect Pompeo to be his wingman at all the events and rallies that Trump does from here on in.

I took the 100/1 with coral a good few weeks ago for Ron D.
Plenty of time obviously and the big fear for him he is not a great debater and Florida will be very messy as so many will have their eye on running.

Ric Scott dislikes him and has **** you money for example.

So while I am happy with the 100/1,,,I would not touch him at 25/1 even with stolen money.


I backed Harris a few years ago at 33/1 for 2020, got quite excited around the first debate and then it went all a bit Pete Tong.

Right how Hailey's campaign feels very similar to that of Jeb and Harris, the donor's love her but I just don't think she will be able to connect with the voting base.

People dislike insincerity (unless you are Trump who can fake it ) and she doesn't have his acting chops so her trying to keep Trumpers and the never trumpers happy just won't work.

How anyone can back her at 12/1 -16/1 is a mystery.

I'm skeptical of Big Mike, but need to see how he does on the debate stage before totally writing him off.

Muahahaha

100/1 was pretty irresistable on de Santis but yeah 25/1 not at all. Florida will indeed be messy with Marco Rubio intending to run again. Plus Ivanka just bought a house there and the rumour is she wants to run against Rubio first for the Senate and then maybe for the White House.

Nikki Haley is just too establishment for the Trump wing and Trump snubbing her attempt to meet him a couple of days ago does not bode well. She wrote an opinion piece in the WSJ that criticised Trump and it did not go down well with him at all.

Pompeos debating skills are unknown unless there is old footage out there from 2011 when he won a seat in Congress.But Id expect him to shout down all comers in a debate scenario just like Trump did. He is nicely positioned right beside Trump for the next few years, if none of the Trump kids run then I think he'll take the opportunity to do so himself.

Also should add expect Matt Gaetz to at least consider running who is also from Florida.

Their is 3 depressing facts about him running...

A He is awful
B He will raise a lot of money from gullible Trump voters despite not having a prayer...
C He probably will be the only person on the stage whose foreign policy won't be "American exceptionalism for all" :P

Yeah so going to be a ****show Florida.:D

Matt Gaetz is a clown, he won't appeal at all to either the Trump wing or the more normal wing.
