re: #171 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

If DJT runs, he will win the primary, hands-down.

So I can only see this as Pence jockeying for position within the party, perhaps as head of the new non-Trump wing

Could well be. Trump gets the GOP nod, gets curbstomped in 2024 (and costs the GOP the House and Senate, and maybe some state/local races), then Pence and his ilk can be there saying, “See…I told you this was gonna happen.”
