| Mike Pompeo Is Taking Steps to 'Get Ready' for a Potential 2024 Presidential Run |
| 2022-09-18 |
| [Yahoo] A 2024 presidential run could be in the works for former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. "We've got a team in Iowa, a team in New Hampshire and South Carolina. And that's not random," Pompeo, 58, said during a fundraising event in Chicago on Tuesday, Politico reported. "We are doing the things one would do to get ready." Pompeo, who was appointed director of the CIA and, later, secretary of state under former President Donald Trump, also took a swipe at his onetime boss. "Unlike others, if I go down an escalator, no one will notice," Pompeo joked, referring to Trump's famous ride down the Trump Tower escalator after announcing he was running in 2015. "We are trying to figure out if that is the next place for us to serve," Pompeo continued, according to Politico. "If we conclude [running for president] is, we'll go make the case to the American people of why that is. And in the end, the American people, I pray, will make a good decision about who's going to be their next leader." The politician made the comments while speaking at the Navy SEAL Foundation Midwest Evening of Tribute on Tuesday. The event raised $6.3 million for veterans and their families, Politico reported. |

| #7 Pompeo wouldn’t be a terrible choice. In the top five, for sure. |

| #6 I heard some talk of a Pompeo run. Also heard things about the choice, as he is in alignment with Deep State and refuses to recognize its existence. |

| #5 Not my first choice, but we could do a lot worse for a VP choice. |

| #3 I think something happens to a person when they enter CIA HQ. Brain implant or gamma irradiation that burns out the portion of the brain that provides scruples. Something like that... |

| #2 I knew it when he lost all that weight. He'd make a good VP |

| #1 Pompeo is a West Point man so I will liken his campaign to a military engagement so that he can plan his efforts accordingly. I think the Bay of Pigs best approximates his 2024 run properly as Gallipoli lasted longer than Pompeii will be in the race. Also the Bay of Pigs is synonymous for senseless dark ops failure due to lack of popular support. |
