Have to think somebody like Romney or Cruz is itching to jump in if things continue falling apart.

(115,829 posts)In my state, Minnesota, the state GOP chairwomen decided that only Trump's name should be on the ballot. This was challenged in court, but the challenger lost. Courts usually don't get involved in political parties' decisions, so that wasn't surprising. https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/09/politics/challenge-to-trump-only-ballot-denied/index.html There was a GOP primary today anyhow, but the outcome will be the same as you'd expect in any totalitarian regime where there's only one name or party on the ballot.
