He is still leading 2024 Republican primary polls by a WIDE margin. They absolutely do not “know he’s done”.

But he’s alienated centrists, republicans can’t win off of republicans alone. There aren’t enough of them, they have to depend on swinging some of the centrist single issue voters but even they are being put off with trumps clear crimes

this assumes they plan on winning an election legitimately

They haven’t planned on winning legitimately since bush

I’m not saying he has a chance in hell of winning a majority of voters in the general election. Only that Republicans are still under his thrall.
