Toomey essentially just said that

We don’t need to impeach and convict Trump so that he wouldn’t be able to run for federal office again because Trump has disqualified himself and no way can he get elected again....he really doesn’t know the Republican base

SAME $Hit will happen that happened the last time:

1) he will win the R nomination because he will get the majority of the support from the party because they are that crazy and with a half dozen or so would be's siphoning those who INITIALLY might not want that level of crazy/fascist.

2) Once he wins the presidency because they all go home to Democrat is a god hating, communist, socialist, pedophile america hating spawn of satan.

He would get a plurality of the Republican primary vote, and instead of other candidates dropping out to prevent him from getting the nomination, they will stay in because the are just as narcissistic and have big egos....but even though the majority of Republicans would have but supported him in the primary they will vote for him in the general because to them ‘libruls are evil’
