"Beatified by the Pope"
I'm not so sure Trump's gonna be the nominee Tree, I think Nikki is gonna surprise some folks.
That would be Rumsfeldian and I say only that Rumsfeldian factors will impact this election bigtime. I expect the unexpected without becoming married to any particulat one. Could be Trump is not on the ballot, or that Joe is not or that both are on the ballot and a third party percentage biter too. Could be an assasination. Could be yet another war. Could be a switch out on Kamala. etc.
Nikki is going to have a very good time for the next month. She will come in second ahead of Desantis in Iowa. And probably ahead of Trump by a few hundred votes in NH. Ironically I think some Trump voters- not many but some young ones- will vote for Vivek and he will do better than expected even if lower down in the pack. NH voters massively value independent thinkers or like to reward it even if it is just a small bone tossed to a candidate.
That's the good news for Nikki. The bad news is that her path forward from NH is not clear. Still a very, very, very steep climb. And Trump wants Kristi Noem as VP, not Nikki. She has a shot at vp on No Labels ticket if Manchin runs. If Larry Hogan or Huntsman or Romney run should would have no interest. Those three are low testosterone losers.
