Anyone with real ambitions for the presidency, will not want to touch an imploding 2020 GOP with a 10 foot pole. It would have to be some sort of sacrificial lamb but, then, why bother if that person will lose anyway. Probably best to let Trump go down in flames and then try to rebuild the party while seeking out a candidate who is crazy enough to appeal to the Trump base but competent enough to not scare off voters weary of another Trump.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
