It's not who can win amongst the MAGA Republicans, dolt... it's who can win amongst the entire American electorate.Fuck Mike Pence , and any and all wannabes like Nikki or Pompeo or That Doofus from New Hampshire , even DeSantis trails Trump by double digits in recent Polling . Trump is Tan & Rested & Ready to save the World ...
The White Vote is split between (R)s and (D)s.
You cannot win with just Republicans... never mind the even smaller MAGA Republican base... you just don't have the numbers... it's simple math.
You need the Independents and Reagan Democrats added to the entire Republican base in order to win nowadays.
And you will not get the Indies and RD's unless you dump Trump and choose somebody else capable of advancing his agenda without the baggage.
Do you want to nominate Trump or do you want to win?
You cannot have both.
