- Former VP Mike Pence officially enters the 2024 race.
While Pence is definitely in my top 3 of preferred candidates to be the nominee, he unfortunately has no realistic path to the nomination. The Donald Trump cultists revile Pence the most of all the GOP prospects because he wouldn't subvert the U.S. Constitution to indulge in Trump's delusion of a stolen election.

And because Pence actually served in the Trump administration, Dems will always tie him to that point in his political career no matter how honorable he's acted.
Now, if Pence's only goal is to prevent Trump from being the nominee in '24, then that is perhaps the most noble calling he has undertaken.
- On the other hand, a certain former New Jersey governor now resides in fantasy land.
"I think there's only one lane for the Republican nomination for president and Donald Trump is the head of it. You need to go right through him and make the case against him. That's what I intend to do..."

Chris Christie talks about his newly-launched 2024 presidential campaign. pic.twitter.com/zAEvWdBm7K
As I've mentioned before, Christie's potential prime time was 2012 was he enjoyed solid approval ratings as New Jersey's top executive. However, he was even past his prime when he entered the 2016 race, evidenced by finishing sixth in the New Hampshire primary, a contest which seemed to be the sole focus of his campaign. Christie then jumped on the Trump bandwagon shortly thereafter, but not attaining a prominent role in newly elected President Trump's admin rendered him irrelevant. The fact he says he's soured on Trump and looks to "go right through him" smacks of opportunism rather than Christie's claim of it being a "strategic error" of endorsing Trump in '16.
- The shrill hags on The View often need to be knocked down a few pegs. Leave it to perhaps one of the most dignified members of the upper Congressional chamber to do so deftly.
This further underscores my viewpoint that the most bigoted, racist rhetoric comes from progs when discussing minority and/or female conservatives. Kudos to Sen. Scott for pulling back that curtain.
