Doubtful. Trump surgically removed the old guard from the GOP, and they're still spitting angry about it. The old moneybags and national security wings aren't there any more. It's Trump's party now. You'll hear libs like the NYT scream and call Republicans a Trump cult.
The thing is, Trump can win the nomination but not the general. DeSantis can win the general but not the nomination. All the Democrats have to do is nominate a warm body and they're in.
I don't think it was a fluke. Shit was bad in 2020. I mean it's been bad for awhile now but 2020 felt fucking hopeless. But with the current messaging being "everything's fine, go back to brunch!", the urgency of removing the Orange Man might be gone.
Yeah, shit being particularly bad in 2020 is the only reason why Brandon managed to avoid snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. The race was incredibly close as it was. Trump would've swept handily without the early pandemic chaos and George Floyd Uprising - that's what I mean by fluke. Now any things that are extra bad are the incumbent's fault so he'd have an even easier time winning.
Unfortunately, the plague is now only killing children, homeless people and minorities. You know, people who cannot vote. Once it couldn’t touch anyone with money, the fence sitters stopped caring.

He can win the general, especially with how shitty of a job Brandon has done. I think it's a fluke that he lost in 2020 in the first place
His loss in 2020 was indosyncartic. He started acting like a regular politician and gave up.
If he had simply stayed the course he would have won
In 2020 he had the entire establishment united against him. Right now there would be no such energy against him

Plus I do think larger numbers of Trump voters dying of COVID made at least some difference.

Feeling optimistic today, are we?
