2. The cult.

Trump is unique in that he was never a politician & has that Apprentice fame/persona, which was national, not regional. His birther stuff helps, too. If Trump is out of the running, it will take awhile to find a candidate the cult will coalesce around. Some will want DeSantis, some Abbott, some their local asshole. It would take the wind out of the cult's sails for one, maybe even more elections, & without the cult, the repubs can't win.

That's just my opinion.
