Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson on Sunday became the latest Republican to publicly toy with the idea of running for president in 2024 -- potentially setting up a fierce battle within the GOP if Donald Trump attempts another White House bid.'I’m not ruling it out. That’s something that is a consideration, an option,' Hutchinson told Fox News of a possible presidential campaign.'I’m certainly not ruling it out, because this is too critical a time for our nation and it’s a defining moment and I want to not only engage the debate now but keep my options open down the road.'

Well we liked the direction that Trump led us in, thank you very much.
Ignoring clear evidence of fraud is also not a promising direction to take the country.
Good luck with the base.

That’s the ticket: Pence/Hutchinson!
(He’ll NEVER win — his first name is rife with teasing, and his last name has too many syllables. Not a good campaign slogan situation. Plus: he’s delusional. Not a good look for a Presidential candidate.)

No thanks Assa. American Patriots were very happy with the REAL leadership that President Trump provided nationally and worldwide. Tried, tested and approved. He was a public servant and he knew it.
American Patriots are smart enough to go with success. We went with it in 2020 and the evil elite (like you) couldn't stand it so you stole it from those you serve (us).
You should be arrested and punished for treason. You know what that means Assa.
If you have any sense of self preservation, be smart. Shut your mouth and go away. Don't draw attention to yourself.

AR fighting same battle as other red states. Bush globalists generally run the state’s GOP leadership positions so huge battles now to defeat every MAGA candidate. I am not surprised Asa RINO is thinking of a presidential run. Asa is owned by Wal-Mart, Tyson and the Chamber of Commerce. They aggressively push Sarah Sanders which is the main reason she is the front runner for Governor. She intends to slide into office while spending most of her time at high dollar out-of-state fundraisers. She does no interviews and won’t join CONSERVATIVE primary candidates for forums and debates. I am sure Mike Huckabee and Asa tell her she doesn’t have to.

No thanks, but really no thanks Asa. RINO’s need not apply. If it’s not Trump, it’s DeSantis and either will win in a landslide. My belief is that Trump does not need the aggravation but is putting up flak for DeSantis. I hope I am right because DeSantis will be a transformation leader who can bring American values back.

Democrats and other leftists love it when Republicans say Donald Trump's 2020 vote fraud claims are a distraction. Because each such assertion reinforces this Democrat false talking point that such statement is true, AND that the speaker is either woefully ignorant (has been duped) or is lying.

As I recall, Asa is a wishy-washy RINO leader who has done nothing to distinguish AK as a conservative centered model. We need someone who is decisive, pragmatic, highly intelligent, and respected - Asa, you're not the one, sorry.

We don’t want to be “taken” anywhere, fool. We’re taken every day by the dims.
And we sure don’t want to go somewhere “new”, yet to be defined by you.
That sounds like fraud.
We want to go back to the tried and true, that which worked for 200+ years. We don’t need you whipping up something “new.”
Shutup and go defraud the dims.

So, obviously NOT keeping up with the Durham investigation and that President Trump was indeed spied upon, or that the Mueller report didn't find anything either.
If you can't bring yourself to realize all of this, you don't belong as a serious person for POTUS.
It's looking more and more like an actual conspiracy, or as Durham mentioned, joint venture.

Do the ones who think they might run for the presidency live under a rock? Do they totally ignore the rallies PDJT has been having and will be having again? Or do they want to add some coin to their bank accounts such as campaign funds. You never know what their aim is. OT but someone mentioned Sarah Sanders. I have heard nothing about her campaign and wondered if she was still in it. From the post, it looks like she thinks she is a shoo in. Who else is running?

The public is not going to go for any more fake RINOs
Good luck getting any money to run a campaign.
The RNC might spend a little because they hate Trump, but mostly, they just want to re-e;ect RINOs already entrenched in the system to the exclusion of all else.
Peter Schwietzer has done a great job expolsing the corruptness of the entrenched-- throw all those bums out for the next six years and clear the Senate stable out of all those corrupt bastids... Think local and take back our school boards and city government positions
