Hate is a strong word. I dislike him as a person, even tho I believe his private life with his family is probably very quiet and serene. I'm not gonna vote for him in the primary, but depending on who the Democrat nominee, I would vote for him over Biden for sure.
You’re not the only pundit seeing this as the end of Trump, and I truly hope you’re all correct, but I don’t think I’ll actually believe it until he’s six feet under. The man would probably win >50 million votes from a jail cell, and that’s an entirely plausible outcome in 2024 to me.
If the GOP establishment actually does move on from him, am I being foolish to think he’s arrogant enough to run on a third-party MAGA ticket? Even the threat might be his best leverage to win the nomination. I can imagine even DeSantis bending the knee if Trump makes clear how easy it would be to pull off a TR/Bull Moose Party maneuver and usher in a (hopefully nonracist) Woodrow Wilson equivalent to the White House. In some ways that’s my fondest hope because the field of Dems looking to succeed Biden is not exactly awe-inspiring, and the party could easily pull off the unfathomable (again) and lose to Trump atop the Republican ticket.
