re: NYT/Sienna poll: Half of G.O.P. Voters Ready to Leave Trump Behind

Yours is a thoughtful take, and i dissent only as follows: Trump is incapable of following through any further because of his limited discipline and most importantly because so many Americans loathe him that he will have a hell of a time beating even Biden.

Trump will also be a lame duck the minute he gets in office. He is limited to a 4-year term and I just don't see anyone in DC willing to expend political capital on someone who is as toxic as he is and will not be there for a second term. He is literally at war with everyone. I really don't see how he can effectively govern and who would want to join his cabinet? He has to be able to work with these people to effect an agenda.

I am not convinced that Trump can beat Biden and $5 gas. The road to the White House still basically runs through purple-ish states like PA, MI, WI, and GA. Trump has to convince the same demographic he lost ground with in 2020 that he is the guy for the job....four years after being out of office. People just hate the guy even if they liked his policies.

DeSantis can win....Trump probably not.
