I agree he looks like he's being groomed (snerk) for the role but he's far from a slam dunk. Republicans are gonna have a hard time presenting any candidate who isn't a dumpster fire, considering how aligned the entire party is with Trump in peoples' minds, and how even in his absence it seems like the party is like, "Let's just triple-down on bigotry and homophobia and religious extremism!" since, y'know, as usual they don't have any actual platform or policies or anything. Their base loves that sh*t, but people who can read generally do not, so they're kinda screwed.
When "We REALLY Need to try and keep the racists and homophobes happy!" becomes paramount to your "success", it's time to consider that you MAY have collectively sh*t the bed and that it's time to try some new strategies.
I mean, it's pretty much only Bible-thumpers who vote Republican anymore, and more and more people become Atheists every single day, so they're gonna HAVE to try and shift gears at some point or else their entire base is just gonna die off. You can't try and make religious nuts your base when most of the people out there walking around know the stuff is all make-believe.

I agree, however, the left continuing to get crazy and more emboldened, as well as turning violently against their own whenever one of them disagrees with the narrative, it does throw several people to vote in the other direction.
There's been quite a bit of videos popping up recently about 'why I left the left'. All of them are gonna vote red, and they're men and women of all races, genders and sexualities. I mean all a trans person has to do is question whether or not transwomen should be in sports and suddenly they're a Nazi and her own community wants her dead.
While one side, the right is full of racists and bigots, on the other side I feel the left is getting to the point of 'we can do and say whatever we want and get away with it because hey, at least we're not racists and bigots. We can wish for all unvaccinated to get lined up and gunned down, we can wish for all Republicans in our family to ****ing die, and we can have kids questions their gender and sexuality before they even learn to stop eating play-doh, but it's all good cause we're not racists and bigots."
Honestly, the left is bolder and the right is full of pussies. I rather have a Republican in the lead (just hear me out here) because if they get too crazy the left can and will push back. But if the left is in charge and gets too crazy, the right just complain online but pretty much bend over and take it. Literally none of this vaccine mandate crap from the last 2 years would have happened if Trump was president because half the country would refuse to obey and enforce them. There wouldn't have been any firings over it. If anything there would have been BLM-style riots over it, but they would just allow it, cause they're sticking it to Trump.
I do admit though, the Roe V Wade thing will forever be a huge scarlet letter against the Republicans and if they lose in 24 it will be 80% because of that and 20% of whatever Trump stupid thing does between now and then.
