* CSPAN has already begun its “Road to the White House 2024” programming. While Donald Trump plans a new social media site, welcomes the usual fawning, self-serving suspects and contemplates a possible comeback from MAGA-a-Elba, GOPsters with ambition—and Trump-friendly, anti-socialist speeches–are already heading to, yes, Iowa. They include: Mike Pompeo, Rick Scott and Tim Scott, the African-American South Carolina senator.
