of line that donald trump could bring to the equation was, what have you got to lose? take a risk on a businessman. it ll be somebody different. we know what a donald trump presidency is like. so, there s that. but i think what you re starting to see is this split stylistically and brand-wise among the republicans who would like to seek the nomination. there are the candidates like ron desantis, who don t have to say donald trump s name and who are firmly in the forefront of this ridiculous early stage. there are the candidates who have branded themselves as critical trump and willing to speak outside the box. and then there s, like the mike pence lane, the mike pompeo lane, served close in the trump administration, helped legitimize him for years until the very end when they had no choice but to step away. then you have nikki haley, who i would say is seeking a page from
seen from ron desantis, the level of ruthlessness doesn t come close. you mentioned ron desantis and mike pence. the florida exit poll from the midterms. do you want to see this person run in 2024. 61% of republicans say sure about donald trump. that s not okay. 76% say it, i m looking at a different graphic hear. i ll move on from that one. but and mike pence is given a bunch of interviews. he has a book coming out. he says the republican party should be ready, must be ready to move on. in the days ahead, i think there will be better choices. better choices than donald trump. and for me and my family, we will be reflecting about what our role is in that. will you run for president in 2024? we re giving it consideration in our house, prayerful consideration. i have a hard time figuring out the mike pence lane. right.
