alternate ending: he loses the republican nom, so starts his own party and runs as a third-party candidate. the GOP begs him not to, rightly predicting that he'll split the conservative vote thus ensuring that the Dems keep the WH.
this is my dream. I've predicted this more than once, and so far have only felt foolish making that prediction
trump won't care
almost implying that he once did care
trump dies, but trumpism lives on.
ultimately the biggest threat we face. But it's very cult of personality, as we've seen Desantis or Don Jr clearly doesn't satisfy the hard core MAGA
I think in the end that 10-15 million MAGA voters will go back to under their rocks and won't vote in future presidential elections and that too may be the kill shot of what the GOP is today
only wild card on all of this is if the GOP really starts to lean into the Hispanic vote. It's not like they haven't done 180s multiple times on this topic in decades, biggest issue would be getting the GOP to shed its xenophobic and white supremist tendencies. They could easily gain 10 +mil voters here if done right
as a case could be made there are more 'getable' Hispanics than crazy white MAGAs
