Sturgis alone kills Kristi Noem's chances nationally. bytch is the new Sarah Palin.
Tom Cotton is a crazy right-wing lunatic, but nothing I've seen shows he has the charisma to fire up the base even a tenth of what Trump did.
I joked about a Tucker Carlson/Tom Cotton ticket in 2024, but assuming Tucker has any interest in running, he has the audience (the highest rated show in cable news history) and the faux-populist message to be the spiritual successor to Trump.
I just wonder if Trump's base is already turning on him because he walked back the Hunter Biden and voter fraud stories.
