I have seen this Styx video and I don't think Styx understands that Trump's innate characteristics have become his Achilles heel right now.
Trump is the type of guy who never admits he was wrong on everything.
He is a very prideful man who thinks it is beneath him to even have to compete for the nomination. He believes he is entitled to be coronated for 2024 because he thinks 2020 was stolen from him. This is a dangerous entitlement mentality here.
He just won't change course on the vax. He will refuse to denounce it. He brags to this day that he saved 100 million lives with it.
Recently he also foolishly blames anyone who doesn't kiss his ring as disloyal these days. He has said this about evangelical leaders who haven't endorsed him for 2024, he has said this about pro-lifers, he has said this about people who worked for his administration and haven't endorsed him and he constantly berates DeSantis for even daring to think to run against him.
Trump wrongfully believes that he is entitled to 2024 as his turn. This sense of thinking is going to ruin his campaign from doing the things necessary to even win the nomination let alone the general.
With the baggage he has accrued if Trump becomes the nominee, he is very likely to lose in 2024 and as a result will destroy his own legacy when he ensures the nation will have 4 more years of Dem rule.
I won't disagree with the points you made but unless it's from the grass roots NOT the establishment or media, Trump is the incumbent candidate.
It's a shame Ross Perot didn't win in 1992 as then you would have 3 parties to choose from than be stuck between two sides.
Third parties cannot win a national election in our existing political system. Third parties can only serve as a spoiler vote for one of the two major parties.
If we are talking about the best President that never was then my nod goes to Ron Paul. He would have truly changed some key things for the better.
My homie Goldwater would have been a damn OG El Presidente.
As onetruephilosoraptor said, viable third parties cannot exist in first past the post systems. What would happen to the GOP is what happened to the Whigs; everyone would leave the GOP and the Reform party would be the same as the GOP, with the same people. Once the Republican Party expanded past its roots as a mostly irrelevant abolitionist party, it became a clone of the Whig Party as former Whigs flocked to it.
