I want to see Trump back in the White House, but I don’t think the Republicans will allow him to run on their ticket again. They are too entrenched in the establishment and he’s a huge threat. They allowed him on the ticket in 2016 because they were positive he’d lose, and they wouldn’t have to spend a lot of money or waste an establishment candidate losing to Hillary.
I also don’t think he can win as a third party candidate. Look at Teddy Roosevelt’s run in 1912 - he beat the Republican but they split enough votes that Wilson won the election.
Yes, seems it’s always Republicans who are actually “open-minded” and willing to break with the norm - thus losing elections. Wilson was a disaster. Perhaps the biggest bad influence in our history.
