Is she qualified? Yep. Would she be a good candidate? Yep. Would she be more logical and methodical? Yep. Does she fit the parameters for all of the social qualifications (right or wrong)? Yep. Could she beat Slow Joe? Yep.

Does she stand a chance? Nope.

Sad but both parties are so damn streamlined into positions there no room for someone who doesn't fit the flame throwing from each party. Jim Webb would have been a great nominee, but Hillary was the choice after paying off the Commie. Trump will insult and degrade anyone and his ego is the worst part of him. Just like Slow Joe, they should both hit the retirement trail.

Unfortunately, Trump's ego will likely get Brandon another term as Trump has his rabid supporters, but he tires everyone else out. His inability to ever be wrong or let insults slide by will result in a very long and ugly campaign season and allow Slow Joe to take a cap at noon everyday, Again!

Sad that our great country will boil down to two old outdated men. The slowest and absolute most unqualified, Slow Joe will win again as every woke crazy, I want even more stuff for free, America is evil, white people bad, you should give us what you worked for, will come out in droves to keep the current clown show in power.

Any logical, rational, qualified candidate like Haley would absolutely blow Joe away like Cackles did will Brown in SF. But here we are, people can not and will not think logical but emotionally.

She is a horrible candidate. She is a neocon, a cheney, heck, we might as well nominate vicky nuland. The pub voters have spoken, and they do not want more bush/cheney/warmongers. Let the dems bear that stink with biden and his cabinet.

"Trump's ego" lol. he is certainly not perfect, but he was able to beat the dem, before the "media" went-off and the "media's pocketbook" took over biden's cabinet and went to war from the dem party this time.

hailey or any other pro-"war" pub is unacceptable.

It will not come down to Trump/Biden for 2 reasons: (1) the powers that be (the monied folk) have already decided this and are well into their chess strategy to see that this doesn't happen (old story), and (2) women will come forward like never before and bring all the young people with them (new story). It's too early for the much-needed middle (most of us) to get serious about this game because it will require a monumental force of combined, cooperative effort to change the trajectory. Much more than 2016.

It’s a (very) long shot, but No Labels is getting on the ballot in states just in case it’s Biden vs. Trump. So.. it’s possible the dynamics will change. Perhaps it’s tilting at windmills, but some windmills need to be tilted at, IMHO.

Haley, DeSantis, Tim Scott, Youngkin, the GOP isn't lacking of viable candidates except for Trump standing in the way. And for that we'll be stuck with the arrogant senile asshole again. And for what? Two fossils with outsized egos who can't let go of power and the spotlight. Anyway we can skip 2024 and go right to 2028?

Couldn't agree more. Republicans have a very solid bench but an unwavering 1/3 of them will vote Trump no matter what, and of course, the more candidates that get into the race, the better that is for Trump.

Hopefully, a Nostradamus you are not. Although not a bad analysis.
