My unpopular opinion? They absolutely will run Cheney. I think she is a surprise ace in the hole. Many folks look at me crazy when I say it, though. Or they ask who she even is. I don't see Biden running again. He served his purpose and he is just too old. Politically need someone younger from the Democrats.
Kamala vs Cheney would be a sight. But I don't believe Kamala will run. I think Democrats have something up their sleeve and are moving in silence.
Yeah, I've been saying Cheney is going to run, and people have been looking at me crazy, because they think it'll be DeSantis. They'll both run, but ultimately, I think Cheney wins the nomination just by being the least batshyt crazy option.
A split vote hurts whoever they choose, however. GOP has less votes to go around every election. That is never discussed openly but I bet they chop it up behind closed doors. Texas is trending towards blue if you compare numbers. It won't happen for 3 elections minimum but the trend is clear.
Yeah, an understated voting trend is that the west/southwest is slowly changing due to California pricing people out. I don't have any data on hand to back it up, but I solidly believe that a good portion of the reason Arizona went Democrat in 2020 is transplants from California moving here. I can easily see the same happening in Texas.
