I'd still like to see Paul, Josh Hawley or Tulsi Gabbard rise up in 2024. I could vote for any of them without holding my nose.

Um, after Trump just easily cost himself a second term? No. Many of his more mild supporters are annoyed by Trump's self-sabotage and won't follow him again.

Did Trump's continual self-hobbling bug you?
I still think his policies (more libertarian than republican) are exactly what this country needs.

If Republicans thought a new party would split their vote, they might vote in Congress to convict Trump at his impeachment trial and follow that with a permanet ban on holding a public office.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
“And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence” ― Bertrand Russell

Actually, I'm not sure any of the 2016 candidates besides Trump could have beat Hillary, and the only reason Trump lost to China Joe is because of the significant "irregularities" that happened during the vote counting process.
