Because Biden is still the person with the best odds to defeat Trump in an election.
That's really all there is to it.
This is likely true but after the election does it matter? Trump likely won't survive long enough for the next election anyways. This will finally leave everyone looking for real candidates.
Who knows, by then the Republicans might actually have a platform they can campaign on that doesn't revolve around MAGA. I'm not holding my breath for that last one though. One can dream.
They'll probably just keep running an AI Trump. Doesn't even matter if the stormfront-sourced training set isn't big enough because even the real Trump can blather on about changing Pennsylvanias name, toilets not flushing hard enough, and somehow injecting UV light into your body to fight viruses. AI fever dreams won't even register as anything weird.
Covfefe.
It's funny, when comedians imitate Trump they're always more coherent. Because you have to make some sense to make a proper joke.
What's incredible to me is that Seth Meyers' impersonation of Trump is nothing like Stephen Colbert's impersonation of Trump and yet you can tell both of them are impersonating Trump without being told.
I'd rather run a younger candidate now and save the incumbent advantage for 2028.
It's reasonable to think that the 2028 Republican candidate might be more of a threat.
I disagree. There have been LOTS of attempts to reproduce that Trump funk, but they all fall flat. I was far more worried about DeSantis. He's modeled his whole persona after Trump and had quite a bit of success passing Trump policies in Florida... but he fell flat on the national stage. I can't tell you why. He doesn't seem like more or less of a conman. He's equally sleezy and seems to have the same policy goals. But there's clearly something the Qult sees in Don that Ron lacks.
It's looking to me like the Trumpers are ride-or-die until Trump dies. I don't know what will happen after that, but I don't think they'll seemlessly integrate back into any normal political party. Hopefully, they'll form their own little ultra-right party and split the conservative vote permanently.
