Tulsi, Vivek, RFK, NIki… There are a lot of choices out there and I think the Republicans would most likely do a quick round of debates/votes to get someone in.
…at least they listen to their party base. The DNC fucked over every candidate who wouldn’t fall in line and bow. The base wanted Bernie, and look how that turned out. They don’t gaf what their base wants, they’ll prop up whoever they think they can control.
