    And essentially nothing happened to Vader, while Luke ended up in the diaper tank.

    The message isn’t wrong, if any other Republican wants the 2024 nomination, Trump has to either be out of the running, or lose to them.

    For Trump to be out of the running, he has to either:

    • Finally have the party wake up to his actual criminality and horribleness and turn away from him, or
    • Drop out of the race on his own, or
    • Die.

    For Trump to remain in the running, but lose, he has to:

    • Finally have the party wake up to his actual criminality and horribleness and turn away from him.

    Right now, in this moment, the party is firmly behind him, even if a good portion of high-ranking Republican politicians are not. In order for the party to turn away from him, there has to come a tipping point. Something has to happen, or come to light, that causes people to change their minds. Considering all the things Trump has done, and that his popularity has only grown, I cannot fathom what such a thing could possibly be.

    Honestly, the far and away most likely way for Trump to not get the 2024 nomination is for him to die.
