Who would be the best Republican candidate to run in 2024? -

Sister services, email, and search will continue to be negatively effected by the attacks. I made a thread to talk about it, if you're into networking.
Pence wanted to be president before and probably still does. I think he'll at least run for it if Trump is re-elected and historically presidents at least publicly back their VPs, though Trump is no average president.
If Trump isn't re-elected he could always go for his second term under a "see how worse stuff is now" banner. And make no mistake, for Trump's base things will be worse off. Automation, globalization, wealth concentration, tech censorship, "woke" censorship, private affirmative action, etc- its not going away.
Rubio, Cruz and Kasich will probably all run again.
Tom Cotton is in many ways a potential heir to Trump, though he actually predates him in high office, particularly on immigration and Israel/the Middle East. Cory Gardner comes from the opposite wing of the party, but is a talented electioneer and could give it a try, assuming he manages to keep his senate seat in 2020. Rick Scott seems on paper like a decent candidate, but I think he might have trouble re-litigating the Health South stuff again on a national scale. He also looked like a skeleton back in 2010, how do you think he'll look when 14 years older.
And then you have the lesser names, Nikki Haley, Kelly Ayotte, Greg Abbott, Scott Walker, Joni Ernst (another "heir to Trump" candidacy), Larry Hogan, Charlie Baker, etc.

I was expecting Paul Ryan to do something more than he's been doing, he really geared up to attack Trump and then sort of just wandered off into the wilderness
wrong party, hes a Dem at heart.
How can anyone not vote for DJT Jr. in 2024?

I disagree with democracy on a moral level. I pray a military junta secures the government before we are forced to endure another election cycle.
Honestly, it's way too early to tell. We aren't even at 2020 yet.
It is likely that Trump will win in 2020 as of now, especially with things like the Project Veritas leaks, Brett Kavanaugh and the growing backlash against #MeToo, the (as of now) attempted murder of Andy Ngo, and all the prominent and viable Democratic candidates doing everything they can to piss off swing state voters with their current stated stances as of the first debates.
But anything can happen between now and November 2020, so let's not count our chickens before they hatch.
Personally, I hope Trump wins so the DOJ investigations against Google can continue unimpeded and that the DNC finally pulls their heads out of their asses and stops pandering to the woke-meisters in 2022 and 2024.
They didn't learn their lesson in 2016 but I could see why DNC elites would initially think it was a fluke given Trump came out of nowhere and went from joke candidate to 45th President of the United States, Bernie Sanders was actually popular with the Democratic base while Hillary Clinton was widely disliked by everyone who wasn't a corporate neoliberal in the DNC leadership.
Yet they're making the same mistakes and in some cases, doubling down on them because they are convinced Trump won in 2016 because of all the free publicity the MSM gave him when he was still considered a joke candidate and continued to give him after he started making headway in the GOP primaries and presented a real threat to the DNC.
If the Democrats lose 2020 and they don't learn their lessons by the 2022 Midterms or at least the 2024 Election, then I have no hope for them.
As for who will run in 2024? For the Republicans, it's hard to say. If there's any open Neocons left, they won't run them because those guys are too toxic. Even establishment Republicans like Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell, who were once seen as Neocon stooges, got their balls back and dropped any Neoconservative/Religious Right rhetoric once John McCain died. Guys like Bill Kristol are a rare breed these days.
On a similar note, Religious Right-type candidates are similarly toxic outside of state-level elections in specific regions, but to a somewhat lesser extent. The only reason they aren't as completely despised by the modern right as the Neocons is because of the Pro-Life vs. Pro-Choice debate and how the Democrats keep going full retard by embracing their inner euphoric atheist when it comes to abortion legislation.
Mike Pence is the last real relic of the Religious Right still in a national office and he's also fairly milquetoast, so he's too much of a risk to run right after Trump. Running Pence would fire up any remnants of the SJW Left and alienate the more secular populist right-wingers and Zoomers (the majority of whom will be of voting age by 2024)
Ted Cruz might be a choice, but before 2018, he was widely despised by both parties and was largely seen as another Bush-era Evangelical relic, and that can be used against him. But between the fiasco of Beto O'Rourke's Senate run and how aggressively Ted Cruz is attacking Google and calling for investigations into Portland's city government in the wake of the Andy Ngo incident, he might be viable.
Honestly, who knows what could happen in 2024. Bernie and Biden will both likely be dead of old age by 2024, and if Trump wins in 2020, chances are that the DNC will stop pandering to the woke left and "Justice Democrats" like Omar and AOC will be cut off from party support in 2022.
If Trump wins 2020 and the Democratic Party actually learns the right lessons from it, they'll probably run someone like Tulsi Gabbard or maybe one of the few remaining moderate Democrats in 2024. But again, it is way too early to tell.
TL;DR-We can speculate all we want, but it's still too early to make any reliable predictions.

Honestly, a Trump-Paul 1-2 could be one of the best things to happen to this country in modern history if everything goes perfectly (it won't.)
If you want elect a fed so much I hear James Comey has political ambitions.

That's pretty gay fam, ngl.
Not as gay as President Spencer celebrating his inauguration with showtunes repurposed into songs about the ethnostate.
Jokes aside we all know this was the road that would ensure Baron Trump as supreme leader of the America's.

I want a white ethnostate for Christmas~~~
A teenage Emperor Baron Trump would be a fascinating period in American history, but he would have to poison Eric and Jr. first. Hopefully he doesn't go the way of Charles XII of Sweden.
