I haven't scored the horoscopes of too many Republican potential candidates, I guess because they were all used up in 2016, and Trump/Pence have it for themselves for a while. Few other candidates have been talked about. But there may be some buzz soon. So far, I have scored two of Trump's other lackeys, and one senator, since the election.
Steve Bannon 10-5
Jared Kushner 10-4
Jeff Flake 12-12
I think former filmmaker Steve Bannon can get his pulse on the moods and trends of the country. He seems too unattractive now that he's older and severely Trumpified. But he's capable of getting a following. Jared Kushner is probably, besides his wife, the most attractive syncophant in the Trump orbit. But they both have a lot of corruption in their affairs. Jeff Flake is a latter-day Goldwater, and even-more conservative. But he is principled and sensible about proper comportment and basic standards of fairness and decency, to some extent anyway. He probably is too much of a stiff and also carelessly-courageous to win a national election, according to his score. He may be defeated for re-election in 2018, if there's a strong Demo wave. He is concerned about that too.
