And if you’re asking “Who’s Alan Keyes?”, well, that’s my point.

The white nationalists/supremacists/racists are also virulent misogynists, and they will not tolerate that, either.

Then the Nat-C’s would split from the GOP and make their own independent run. Or stay home on Election Day

a drop of color could be the Nazi's plan to woo POC votes.

but I think he's looking at the legal trouble trump is in, DeSantis' unpopularity, as well as Haley's, and speculatiing that if everything develops just right, he might be the republican Obama.

Of course everything has to fall just right...and then there's always the VP slot if it doesn't.

Of course he won't win if the first plan works POCs won't fall for a fake Obama when we've had the real thing.

To recapture the woman's vote in light of the disastrous fallout from Roe v. Wade.

Someone as crazy as Quari Lake or SHS perhaps? I just might also be wrong on that.

On the other hand, the White Supremacists in the party will not stand for an African-American on the GOP ticket. I mean really, why would Tim Scott be referred to by TIFG as "my African-American"?

Good for Democrats if that were to happen.

I heard him interviewed on NPR. He wants to restore American principles but won't say what they are. And he wants Hunter's laptop. Also he says his being Hindu won't hurt him with Christian Nationalists. lol.

He is, policy wise, no different than trump. I think this is attention seeking to get a VP slot.

The party ran out of ideas fifty years ago, and are coasting on the fumes of Nixon's Southern Strategy.

Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, and Asa Hutchinson won't win either, as Trump or DeSantis have a lock on the nomination. I don't buy that an African American can't win the nomination either. Tim Scott won in extremely conservative SC. I fully expect Byron Donalds to one day be on a national ticket.
