11. Actually, I think a non-Trump figure might be more harmful to the GOP.

I get we all hate Trump in here and never can understand his charm. But the fact is, Trump drew more voters to vote for him in 2020 than any other republicans ever did. We got endless "Trump drew out disinfected white voters to vote for the first time" media narrative back during his time in office. Those people aren't loyal to the republican party but to Trump. I think they would lose more voters if the top of the ticket isn't Trump (or someone Trump endorses). This is why the republican party have changed into the the party of Trump.

I have always held the view that Trump will be the most dangerous republican in 2024, and I haven't seen anything to change my view yet.
