Republican primary challenge in 2020?

[TheSaint250]

Who would be most likely to run against Trump in the primary?

I would think John Kasich.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Kasich without a doubt.

[Confused Democrat]

If we end up going to war in the next 3 1/2 years, I'd say Paul. Otherwise, Kasich.

[President Johnson]

Kasich. And if so, he hopefully wins.

[Libertarian in Name Only]

I don't think Amash has ruled out running in 2020.

[America Needs R'hllor]

1. Kasich
2. Amash
3. Cruz
4. Johnson
5. Paul
6. Sanford

[SoLongAtlas]

Kasich.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

There won't be a primary challenge, but if there is it's most likely gonna be Gov Kasich.

[mgop]

when you are incumbent there's no real opposition within the party. kasich can go against trump only as independent.

[Kingpoleon]

1. Justin Amash
2. John Kasich
3. Ted Cruz
4. Rand Paul
5. Politico's Weird and Creepy Crush Mark Sanford
6. Dwayne Johnson

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

John Kasich is most likely. Nikki Haley could possibly challenge Trump if he gets on her nerves too much. She's clearly planning a run sometime in the future.

Not true at all.

[Inmate Trump]

when you are incumbent there's no real opposition within the party. kasich can go against trump only as independent.

After 2016, I think the old rules no longer apply.

[MasterJedi]

Kasich 2020!

Not even old rules. 1980 and 1992 both saw semi-serious primaries of sitting presidents. Although '80 was more serious than '92.

[BaldEagle1991]

Kasich.

If the wall never gets built, I expect some more of them to primary Trump.

[The Other Castro]

Probably Amash, but Kasich could run if things go especially poorly for Trump.

[DK_Mo82]

Yes it is more likely than not that Trump faces Primary challenge. Big question will be will he go through primary process or will he simply run on his own line and potentially split the Republicans.

1. Kasich
1. Cruz
3. Rand Paul
4. Romney
5. Amash / Another Right-wing congressman if Cruz does not run.

[Rjjr77]

There wont be a third party challenger of any note.
I'd say Kasich simply because he'd have nothing else to do, but its unlikely.

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

Amash is the only one who would benefit from it.

[Deblano]

It's likely Kasich, but I hope him and Amash team up to give Trump a run for his money in 2020.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Primary challenges used to be more common. Nixon had 2 congressman challenge him in 1972.

[Inmate Trump]

All hail Lord Trump!

[Heisenberg]

Last week I would have said Amash, but now, with him jumping back into the spotlight, Kasich.

[Mister Mets]

I'm guessing Kasich.

He has little to lose as a sixtysomething guy who will be out of office, and there's a nontrivial chance that Trump would encounter a serious political scandal which would leave him with a major head start.
