    Stewart and tucker will never run, maybe tucker would start an exploratory committee as a scam but he’ll never get close.

    Pritzker will run and he’ll get third or fourth in the first couple primaries and drop out lol.

    They’re gonna run some maga dude and fix the elections. Maybe it will be vance, but i agree he’s extremely low charisma, still they dont really care. Just a less unlikeable candidate would make the prophanda war eaaier to win.

    thiel and ellison own the country they’re gonna pick some empty suit like vance maybe lutnick someone like that.

      Stewart has been asked the question incessantly for his entire career, and he always gave some kind of emphatic “no”. He switched it up a year ago and isn’t saying no anymore. Watching the Weekly Show, he really is acting like he plans to run.

      Carlson is more of a long shot to run, but I don’t put it past him. If he runs for real, I think he gets it. I agree that he probably won’t. The Republican base isn’t as easily dominated by money as you think. Remember that in Trump’s first run all the money and establishment clout was against him. Thiel and Elison can run things because they have Trump on a leash.

      I think you underestimate Pritzker, but I don’t see anyone else right now that can speak to both progressives and the establishment. It’s a really tricky lane to enter and he has it all to himself. We’ll have to see who else runs.
