Agreed, but between dementia and stress clearly making him more unhinged and his ill-health and advanced age: there's a good chance he won't functionally be able to run again in four years.

The positive thing about that is the cult won't let him go. Trump has already told them to reject the truth of their eyes and ears, and they've listened. Trump will happily turn on the Republican establishment, he's made the threat countless times.

Trying to replace Trump will be the party's downfall, because the voters/cult won't accept a new face, even when Trump literally fucking dies. They'll say it's a conspiracy.

People forget that Trump was an "anti-establishment" candidate. It's unlikely we'll ever have another like him again, as the establishment clearly doesn't like being bullied by him. If they could drop him and still win: they already would have.

EDIT: While there are some young conservatives, the votes for Republican swing wildly towards older people. In four years, more of these older people will have fucking died or lost their minds to dementia, and more young people will be eligible to vote. We honestly haven't had a Presidential election since COVID and there's a strong chance the polls are fucking stupid wrong (they honestly haven't been reliable since around 2004) and that Trump is going to be absolutely destroyed since he literally killed millions of his own voters. This is also arguably why the Republicans are fighting tooth and nail right now, they know that this might be their last election where they can win anything at all. They want the fix in, now, because otherwise this might spell the end of the entire party, long-term. You might call their behavior an Extinction Burst.
