I don't see a set of circumstances where Pence is a leading candidate given that the Trump children are interested in following their father into politics.

I think you're vastly overestimating just how much charisma Donald Trump junior or Ivanka actually have.

I agree with you that Donny Jr. and Ivanka don't have loads of charisma and would not be as successful as stubby McBonespurs. However, they still would likely beat Pence, because the MAGAchuds probably think the Trump name is more important than whatever Pence brings to the table.

I think Ivanka would have more chance. She comes across as ... errr... Daddy’s favourite, and is at least fairly attractive. Don Jr comes across as a weird try-hard, desperate to win favour with Daddy. Desperation doesn’t look good in a candidate for president.

Sarah Palin. Just like Trump, but less malevolent.

Dan Quayle: Trump v0.1
Ross Perot: Trump v0.2
Bush 2: Trump v0.3
Sarah Palin: Trump v1.0 (major upgrade)
Herman Cane: Trump v1.1
Donald Trump: Trump v2.0 (major upgrade)
DJTJ/Ivanka?: Trump v2.1

Ignorance elevated to a virtue above all other virtues.

I grow weary of these dimwits. We need smarter right-wing nuts. Like Pat Buchanon.

Not really sure how that would work...

He has sucked up to Trump so long he wouldn't get much support from anti-Trump groups, but he has also "broken the faith" over the past couple of weeks (e.g. criticizing Trump for his pardons), so he might not be appealing to the MAGAchuds.

Even Trump's closest advisors consider Donnie Jr to be a complete idiot.

Caine would be a better president than any of the others. Because he's dead.

I'm looking forward to opponents running pictures of him literally carrying Trump's luggage. And sitting on that closed beachj.

How about 2025, when the next President after Biden actually takes office?

Takes after Dad, then.
 
All Republicans: "I'll form an exploratory committee to see how much cash I can rake in, and then run to make a profit, not to get elected, just as the Founding Fathers envisioned."

I thought about Hawley, but he's too new. Granted, a lot can change, but it's going to be too crowded a field for him to stand out. I don't really think his crusade against "censorship" online will go far. There are plenty of other nondescript white boys for the media to fawn over while they say absolutely nothing of consequence.

He's still new, but boy does he stand out now. :D

Whether it helps him or not, we'll see.

Yeah they can be ores and vp. Double their chances.

The thing is, we are no longer in a world where there is a zero percent chance of them having a run for president.
 
I think the failed coup has pretty much killed any chance of Trump himself getting the GOP nod.I think he will try to be the power behind the throne, though.

Since election campaigns start earlier every cycle, why not speculate on who will throw their hat into the ring for the Republicans in 2024. Here's my list. some are serious, some are half-joking.

Donald Trump - Socialite turned game show host who lost the 2020 election1Tom Cotton - Senator from Arkansas. Seems to be more focused on trolling the libs than actually governing. One top two contestants to be 2024's Scott Walker.
Jeff Flake - former Senator from Arizona. Graduate of the Susan Collins School of Furrowing Brows.
Larry Hogan - Governor of Maryland. acted responsibly in the face of COVID-19 and now looking to leverage that into being humiliated on the national stage.
Ben Sasse - Senator from Nebraska. Other top contender to be 2024's Scott Walker.
Nikki Hayler - former Governor of South Carolina and ambassador to the UN. Mortgaged promising political future to suck up to a game show host.
Ted Cruz - Senator from Texas. Also voted Most Punchable Face in Politics. Rumored to be the Zodiac Killer.
Marco Rubio - Senator from Florida with no dignity.
Rand Paul - Senator from Kentucky who cosplays as a doctor and earned a beating from his neighbor.
Tim Scott - Senator from South Carolina who is shocked every time people point out the overt racism of the Trumplicans
Some member of the Bush family - because we all need a good laugh
One of the Trump kids - assuming daddy doesn't run 1Tucker Carlson - Host of the FOX News White Power Hour and poster child for Unearned White Boy Confidence.

Anyone I missed?

1 assuming he is not already residing in a different kind of government housing

After Wednesday’s fiasco I think you can cross off Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley. It doesn’t seem their political careers will last long now.
 
Also, based on your list the only the two post-Trump republicans who seem sane at all are governors Charlie Baker and Larry Hogan.

Also if Republicans want to nominate a good sane candidate next round, then they should fix their primary system. It’s the same problem that gave the Democrats Joe Biden as their nominee. Super Tuesday had too many Southern states scheduled in 2016 and 2020. Why is the most important date on the primary calendar given so much weight to a region that only compromises about 30% of the total US population?

Edit: No offense meant here towards anyone living in the South
