2024 GOP?

 The Hill wrote up a piece and suggested the seven front-line Republicans for President in 2024:

1.  Mike Pence (zero percent chance, and I can't understand their logic).

2.  Ted Cruz (has to really take off and win in Iowa.....where I give him only a 10-percent chance).

3.  Nikki Haley (might take three states in the primary....not enough to matter, but she wants VP badly).

4.  Mike Pompeo.  Smart and witty but zero appeal in the 'big-tent'.  Oddly, he could gather attention in Iowa.

5.  Tim Scott.  Weak but would draw VP attention.

6.  Kristi Noem (SD Governor).  Great VP nominee and probably would draw attention in the first four primaries.

7.  Ron DeSantis (FL Governor).  As long as Trump doesn't run....DeSantis is likely to take 45 of the primary wins.

So this is really a race about the VP?  Yeah.

I'd say that Tim Scott, Noem, and Haley are in the competition mode now.  

Fourth name for VP?  Richard Grenell.  

Pompeo likely to come back again as Secretary of State?  I'd give it a 90-percent chance.
