Could also put him up against a famous actor that hasn't yet shit the bed with leftist ideology. Like Denzel Washington or Matthew McConaughey. Have them play that strong, intelligent role and promise to bring politics back to the rational center. Leftists would hate it but they wouldn't have a choice. Ardent conservatives would see through the act but it would easily fool normies.
The only reason I think it wouldn't work is that the establishment is already so captured by the ideological left that they have ridiculous woke blind spots. They've all but ruined their chance with McConaughey by having him give that gun control speech. It was probably meant to launch his political career but they failed to read the room and see that gun control is a dead issue.
Absolutely he's toast, and I don't think they could push Denzel into running. Those are the only two choices I could think of at the time. Tom Hanks was raked over the coals by the QAnons and Tom Cruise knows how to sell to a broad audience but he's still personally nuts.

The problem with gun control is that they fucking need it. But the level of violence and balkanization they've created means it's impossible to touch.
