At this point in time, I don't see any serious challengers. Trump is too entrenched within the GOP, and non-Trumpers have been driven off.Kasich is looking to challenge Trump in the primaries in 2020, who will be the other possible Repub challengers? Will Trump make it out of the primaries? I would definitely consider voting for Kasich in the general election...

That Kasich is already running tells all you need to know about the man. Kasich would not even carry Ohio over any Democrat that should win the Democrat nomination.I'll vote for pretty much any other Republican over Trump. Trump is better than nearly all Democrats, but he's a bottom of the barrel Republican that needs to learn how to be more diplomatic in his speech and demeanor.
Good luck.I'll vote for pretty much any other Republican over Trump. Trump is better than nearly all Democrats, but he's a bottom of the barrel Republican that needs to learn how to be more diplomatic in his speech and demeanor.
Perhaps. But he almost had no other choice, if he wanted to remain relevant.I suspect the only reason Romney ran for the Senate is to prep for a 2020 challenge to Trump. IF Trump runs again and I seriously have my doubts that he does.
Good luck.
I hope there's some silent "moral majority", some "Principled Conservatives", left in the Republican Party. But I'm not holding-out hope. I believe many-if-not-most have been driven off.

I will take effective diplomacy over diplomatic. MAGA

Trump's challenge will come from the Dems.

I may not fully agree (there's nothing that would ever get me to vote for a man like Trump), but I do understand the motivation.Well, considering we had a choice between Trump and the Death Star in the last election, many of us would prefer something more palatable.
I think I might agree, though I'm no pollster or statistician that can read the minds of the GOP rank & file.I will take a Republican as the president over Trump getting the ticket again and losing the election. Unless Trump can improve his popularity he should be challenged. We can't hand the presidency over to the Democrats.
I think within the Republican base many support Trump's policies. However, they will take another Republican over Trump. In many primaries Trump won the ticket based on a plurality of votes. The Republicans were foolish to have so many on the primary race ballots.

That may be possible. I was thinking in terms of the rank & file voters, though. But, I hope you're right.Don't confuse driven off with lying in wait. If Trump weakens, challengers will come out of the woodwork.
I may not fully agree (there's nothing that would ever get me to vote for a man like Trump), but I do understand the motivation.
Alright, that might be a reasonable argument.At his age and financial station in life, the only thing I can see that 'relevance' would count for is another run for the presidency.
I really wish I could remember who said this, but I listened to a podcast in which somebody made a good point. He said that in order for somebody to successfully challenge Trump he or she must have a compelling personal backstory. The thing about Trump is that he himself is compelling (compelling for awful reasons, but compelling nonetheless), and there's also the point that he has something nearly all other candidates do not: cultural ubiquity going back decades. Imagining that all factors in 2016 are equal (and they're not, obviously, but just go with it), what will be required is another candidate that has a compelling personality or backstory and a certain mount of "cultural ubiquity." I don't know which Republican candidate that describes, but it's certainly not Kasich.
And as for a Democratic candidate? While I've always held up the Kamala Harris banner here, if the statement that a candidate must have cultural ubiquity and a compelling story is true, then that really only leaves one obvious choice: Beto O'Rourke.
I agree about Beto. He looks more and more and more like a Bobby Kennedy type figure. And that is perfect for the Dems.
You make a great point about having a compelling backstory.
I suspect the only reason Romney ran for the Senate is to prep for a 2020 challenge to Trump. IF Trump runs again and I seriously have my doubts that he does.
