I can support him.

Question:
What do you think of his chances IF he chose to run in the Primary?

Choices:
Yep...good idea...he could win.
Nope...bad idea...not a chance.
It would depend on who he would be running against in the Primary.
He would not run and leave FOX News.
None of the above...my pick is “Mittens”Romney

 

Running a talk/opinion TV show is not equivalent to running a country.

this is more deepstate trash trying to take focus off trump and one of his kids running with pence.

He's not on the list

Nor is former congress critter Gov Kristi Noem.

I don't think he is strong enough to endure what a conservative must go through to not only win the Presidency, but then administer the office courageously under a 24/7 365 attack from the Left and all of its media channels.

Is being a conservative news commentator sufficient to lead America these days? If so, Graham Ledger, Liz Wheeler and Alex Salvi are just as qualified. Maybe a consortium would be a novel administration.

There's only about 36,000 soundbites the left could use against him.

Suggesting Carlson as a viable candidate for the most powerful office in the Western world is akin to the left suggesting Oprah Winfrey as a candidate. It's beyond laughable and smacks of desperation.

And don't say "They said that about Donald Trump, too" because Trump is a true leader who has flirted with the idea of running for POTUS for at least the past twenty years. Donald Trump knows failure and success on a grand scale and has the energy, the drive, the tenacity and the vision to do the job. Carlson happens to be a guy on TV who says stuff we agree with. If there were some other talking head in that 9 PM slot on Fox, would we be suggesting that person instead?

This is silly

went with none of the above/mittens because it's no more absurd than the rest of the speculation about tucker. my true favorite ticket for now is pompeo/noem

Tom Cotten or Josh Hawley. Mark my words one of these two will be the next Republican president.

The "Old" Republican party STILL hasn't come to terms with the "New" Republican party. They have not learned the lesson of Trump: WE DON"T WANT YOU.

Trump is their canary in the coal mine and they still haven't figured it out. They can try as they might to get rid of Trump (and oh boy are they trying...) but when his presidency is over people won't just automatically default to a 'Jeb' type RINO again. That time is long gone. When Trump needs to be replaced on the Republican ticket the voters will look for someone who builds on his characteristics, not someone who refutes them.

What is it, 80 or 90% of Republican voters approve of Trump? Do the ruling class actually think they can slip in a 'Jeb' and we won't notice?

Right now America, and not just conservative America, is looking for a leader. One who believes in this country and wants to make everyone better. One who values our history and dreams of bigger things to come. Trump's speech last night was spot on. I hope his campaign continues on this tract.

I'm telling you the first Republican who steps out and fully embraces what Trump laid out last night WILL be the next Republican star. And very likely the next Republican President.

Not only no, but heck no. I’ve never been less impressed with a conservative commentator, and that’s really saying something.

I like Dan Crenshaw, and Niki Haley the most on the top of the ticket. I would support Candace Owens as potential VP, and I could see Kristi Noem in the mix as I like what I’ve seen from her. I like Crenshaw the most for any position though. His views are largely in line with my own and I think he’s likable and has the ability to win. I like Mike Pence as a man and as a VP. I think he’s very honorable and a principled man but I don’t see him doing well at the top of the ticket. I would not support any of Trump’s children at this time. They might be very good people and would bring some things to the table but I don’t believe in political dynasties and could not support them for a long time because of that.

I like Tucker a lot.
I liked Ben Carson a lot too.
For my money, it's Tom Cotton and Kristi Noem in 2024.
But then I'm not infrequently wrong.

More of Gov Noem is fine with me.

I'm focused on 2020, first. 2024 is a long way away.

Really, why is that? Because I've never heard Tucker Carlson stating anything other than conservative values. I certainly don't think that qualifies him to be president, though.

Trump has been able to do it for many reasons already stated plus he's run a large organization as Commander in Chief for decades.
He's also dealt with politics and politicians in his former life. That's also why he thinks so little of them. Most are just shake down artists that leverage their position for dollars.
Tucker is more like an entertainer we like, and happen to agree with his politics. He's never run any sort of organization that I know of and that is an essential skill, especially as an outsider.

Tucker has his moments but I don't really trust him. He certainly is no Rush Limbaugh or Mark Levin either as far as true conservative credentials, neither of which have any desire to be president.

Not a snowballs chance in hell.
