Trump already won 1 election, and without a consensus candidate like Biden in 2024, he could win again in 2024. And he narrowly lost GA, WI, AZ and PA, just like he narrowly won PA, MI and WI in 2016. So no, that poll is not good news. He needs to be prevented from ever running for office again. The 1 encouraging thing I saw in this morning's news is it sounds like more senate Pubs may vote to convict and that McConnell may be moving in that direction. Maybe congressional Pubs are beginning to realize the existential threat he is to both their party and our republic and that this vote is probably their sole opportunity to purge him from our political future. They likely realize that they'll take a hit from his base in the short run, but it's worth it to prevent him from being their 2024 nominee. Let's hope that is the case.
If he in fact is prevented from running in the future, it'll be interesting to see how his base responds. I don't think either Hawley or Junior have the level of personality magnetism with that base like Trump has, so does that base still stay as politically active and involved? Then the question is whether Trump will still be a sort of king maker. But I don't think he has any interest in that. He just wants to be king himself.
Pence being that high is a bit stunning. Are there evangelicals who are suddenly pretending they aren't hypocrites?
I agree with this last. Trump would not be happy putting someone else on the throne. If he can't sit on it, he will attempt to destroy it.

The two people I think have the best chance aren't on that list- Ben Sasse, Larry Hogan
depends on how much of an influence the MAGAts still have. both those guys hate Trump and as of now would get no support from the base.

Trump's base is still 70-80% of the current party. Sure, establishment types would vote for Hogan or Sasse in the primary, but establishment types are the minority of the party. Add to that both Hogan and Sasse have been openly critical of Trump. No, I see it as more likely that someone like Junior, Hawley or Cruz will get the nomination.
Jr is definitely going to run if Dad can't. Support won't wane at all
