Admittedly a big assumption, Donald should be dead or in jail by then!) “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

It also shows that you can't really speak your mind unless you have nothing to lose. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

It's hard to say this far out. Remember in 2007 when campaign season kicked off, the assumption was for a Clinton vs Giuliani showdown in 2008.
I agree with the second part of your premise. As to the first, I still don't see an independent winning the presidency. He should run on the GOP primaries. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

"A really good guy running in his place." Huh? The only other GOP candidate running for his seat so far is a woman, and she's batshit crazy. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Totally agree. Guy seems to be embarrassed by his party base. Can he take McCain with him? The President is a fink. |

Jeff Flake represents everything that is wrong with Mitch McConnell’s failed vision of the Republican Party. President Trump’s America First movement is on a winning streak now that Jeff Flake has been left on the ash heaps of political history alongside Luther Strange and Bob Corker." Today was a great day for Trump and the GOP.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Saw last night that he was probably going to lose his primary in a wipeout. These establishment types a year later still do not understand why Trump not only won the general but knocked off 18 of their own along the way. They really would rather have their country club and lose than win and get a conservative agenda done. The President is a fink. |
