I'd like to see Cruz in the Supreme Court.

I do too and honestly, hoped that would be done in this term, allowing Alito to retire...which we think he wants to do. Now however, that isn't happening.

Rubio has done a lot to raise his stock in the last year for most people.|
However, he's going to be closely associated with Iran, however that goes in the next two years. Fair or not.
Desantis? First, will he want to run, and then when and how will he start to take best advantage of the time he has to position himself.
The other moving part here, how will the crazy wing of the Democrats perform and how much traction will they get within their party?

So would I, even though before the election, he stated he was happy where he was.

Perhaps this election changed his viewpoint.

It's almost a given that Thomas and Alito will not resign yet. And Cruz leaving the senate, with a special Texas election needed down the road (after a temporary replacement) a roll of the dice, it will likely not happen. Though Cruz would be perhaps the one solid justice in the same mold as Thomas and Alito.

I am all in for Rubio. Very savvy guy and is probably the one guy that could bring back a huge part of the electorate that went blue in Texas and other places this last election.

Mr. Rubio would make a great President.

That said, IMO we have a decent bench. Last go-round (primaries 2016) I was a Cruz fan and I have been impressed with Vance and Desantis.

Any of the above wind up getting the nod, I'd be fine with them also. The important thing is to get a win. The leading candidates to run against them are scary-bad, and would make poor choices for county commissioners, let alone POTUS 48s.

I will NOT vote for Vance. He reminds me too much of a TV evangelist - talking a good game, but there is a certain amount of lack of sincerity. I think we would all be feeling a good dose of remorse. Just my opinion - worth every bit of 2 cents!

Are you talking about the primary or the general election? You "will NOT vote for Vance" if he's the nominee?? He's not sincere enough for you? Seriously, is there ANY evidence he lacks sincerity? Everyone should vote 'for' whomever they want to in the primary, but everyone needs to support the nominee. I imagine there would be a LOT more remorse if a Democratic Socialist (a.k.a.Communist!) were elected President in 2028.

I wonder why Senator Kennedy of Louisianna never comes up in circles when we discuss candidates ? The man is brilliant and over flowing with practical common sence. An actual statesman in the White House for a change.

A fair question (and related observations). At this time, I am talking about the primaries. If he were to be our candidate in the general election, I would have to take a long, hard look.

As Jesus once said, "Revelation 3:15‑16 (NIV)
“I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”

^^ Please support the nominee regardless, otherwise that's how America hating Communists get elected. We only need to look at this past Tuesday to see the devastating results of people deciding to NOT vote!
