I do think his everyday voters (Republicans of more moderate stripes and "soft" MAGAs) have gone back underground after doing their damage in November 2024. They have some shame, but they won't admit it and will fall in line for Vance, Rubio, or whoever in 2028. Plenty of inisde WH intel that the 2028 talk for Trump is allllllll trolling and pot-stirring up until the last possible moment when he hands off to someone else (if he's not dead or in a drooling state by then)
