15. Let's not forget Liz Cheney as a 3rd party candidate

She might run as an independent and cause disruption. I wouldn't vote for her, but some independent and old gop would.

I recall a number of 3rd party challengers who've made a splash over the years.
Ralph Nader, Ross Perot, Gary Johnson, and currently Evan McMullin. McMullin is young, had a showing in the 2020 presidential election and in 22 challenged Senator Lee in Utah, losing by only 11 points. McMullin is a tfg critic whereas Lee is a sycophant.

Within the GOPQ, tfg is the mob boss. Too many are loyal cult 45 members or loyal to the party, no matter the candidate. Those that are running against him in the primary are not calling out his crimes, they're pandering to his base.

The GOPQ is a party consisting of the worst parts of "humanity" and while some are worse than others they're all complicit in undermining democracy. Deplorable liars, cheaters, traitors, zealots, haters, manipulators, gullible, and worse.

A dark horse is still a dark horse. No re thug riding in to save the party. It wasn't worth saving anyway, and I really long to see it shatter and implode. It's been fractured for a while, but somehow it's still here, a force of chaos. Trust no republican.

Those are my thoughts, since you asked...
