Why are Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Linsay Graham not running for President?

Anonymous
They are all current Senators and I doubt that they no longer want the job and they are still relatively young. All of them mocked Trump and turned around to support him, sometimes after insults to their wives, parents and even lacking a wife. Whatever else you may say about Trump, he does not give up no matter what crime, indecency, or embarrassment he is subjected to. I suppose it is a benefit in certain cases to lack any self-awareness or shame. In that sense Cruz, Rubio and Graham seem to lack the persistence that Trump has shown and appear to wilt under pressure which is not a characteristic we would want in the leader of the free world.

Have Cruz, Rubio and Graham been tested in competition and been found wanting? Our Presidential election process is grueling but it does seem to weed out those who don't have the requisite qualities. Chris Christie is still tilting at windmills. We'll see in the next year if DeSantis turns out to be a fighter or a quitter.

They’ve all run before and never got more than a few percentage points. They know it’s Trump’s party right now.

Well, that was the narrative for Trump in 2015 but he didn't quit and made it to the finish line first the following year.

Some believe in themselves 'til the end. And some lose hope in themselves early. Didn't Biden run 4 times before he was elected to the WH?

Cruz/Rubio/Graham are ferral quitters, not leaders.

There is no base of funding or support for them.

That didn't stop Trump or Christie.

Maybe they realized they were born to be Robin and not Batman.

I suppose "Linsay" isn't memorable enough for people to remember how to spell his name right.

Because they are awful human beings

Lol.

“Linsay” (I’m loving that OP didn’t bother to spell check that) probably isn’t running because of the constant threat of disclosure over him.

Trump proves that's not disqualifying in the U.S.of A.

Cruz, Rubio and Graham are narcissists in the same vein as Trump but when I look at Trump and the amount of shat that's rained down on him since 2015, the fact that he just keeps on truckin' carrying the most heavily-ladden cistern of sewage on his back, I gotta admit, sometimes I am in awe. Never would I have imagined that any human being could walk around nonplussed with that much shameful baggage while the whole world is watching.

Trump's like a walking sewage truck. The guy's in a league of his own. C/R/G in a million years could never hold a candle to Tr. DeSantis is trying to be the more toxic right wing version of Trump but he is amateur hour at best at this point.

I am not sure each of them would even make it out of a primary for their seats right now.
