There are a number of Dem Governors and Senators, past and present, who would be solid candidates--e.g., Michael Bennet, Jay Inslee, JB Pritzker, Tim Walz, maybe Gretchen Whitmer.

And in snap polling about match ups with Trump, all continue to lose by roughly the same margin - low 40's percent to the democrats and high 40's percent to Trump. All losers.

Which is why I'm looking really outside the box. Invite Kinzinger or Liz Cheney to become independents and go up against Trump. Hard core never trumpers will still vote for them instead of Trump, and they might peel away some disaffected with Trump who are voting for him anyway because they're never going to vote for a Democrat.

If you're going to throw a hail mary, throw a real HAIL MARY and not some half-assed last minute swap that isn't any better than Biden.
