WHO ELSE?

 This is the week that Pence, Christie, Burgum and who knows who else will announce they are seeking the Republican nomination for President.

That's former Vice President Mike Pence, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and (I forgive you if you didn't know this one) North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum.

They will join former South Carolina Governor and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, California conservative talk radio host Larry Elder, entrepeneur and author Vivek Ramaswamy, and . . oh yeah, some guy named Donald Trump.

That's ten and counting.

A few people who thought about running and gave it up are New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan and former Kansas U.S. Representative, Secretary of State and C.I.A. Director Mike Pompeo.

They must have seen the handwriting on the wall.

Or in the back of a taxicab.
