Then I think we can narrow that list to:

- Christie
- DeSantis
- Haley
- Ramaswamy

Of those I would suggest only Haley and DeSantis are in the running.

And given that Haley actually showed some support I’d say Haley but…with choices that narrowed I suspect DeSantis would be popular again with MAGAts.

Okay, I see the “drop _back_ in” qualifier.

(Still think he’ll make a play, but fine.)

He may not have a chance, but he certainly has enough ego to try.

Sorry. I was serious (worried serious) that in the turmoil of Trump suddenly dropping that Stephen Miller would step out from behind the curtain. Compare policies as well as pictures.  
If it is limited to only those Republicans then I think Nikki Haley and Ramaswamby and Pence are the most likely.

Miller probably practices his “Stalin face”.
