88. I think the first woman president will be a Republican

Fri Nov 8, 2024, 04:46 PM

Nov 8

Probably Vance's VP.

One scenario

Trump out before end of his term
Haley confirmed as new VP
Haley runs with Vance on 2028 ticket
If win will run in 2032 as President (or 2036 if Vance becomes President before half of the Presidential term is done).

Love Al Franken. I saw him on Bill Maher a few weeks ago, he's lost a step or two. But, he's still Al Silent Type Nov 8 #35

I love Al but he's a little old Jk23 Nov 8 #55

He'd be 77. I know trump is 78. But will Al really want to? jimfields33 Nov 8 #56

But he'd probably be running against Vance Polybius Nov 8 #87

Andy Beshear Meadowoak Nov 8 #29

I think Andy will be a strong candidate Buckeyeblue Nov 8 #51
