He doesn't want to revisit 2020.  MAGA will only come out for Trump and Trump loyalists. That is the problem with building a party around a cult of a single personality.  They will never be able to count on those voters.

We will see what happens, but as long as Trump is eligible to be president and may be even after he isn't there could be a significant percentage of republican voters who will accept no substitute and see anyone suggesting a substitute as a RINO traitor. 

Trump has already cried fake news on polls showing him losing ground to Desantis. Good luck convincing his followers desantis is the better candidate and more likely to win. 


EDIT - It'll also be interesting seeing how conservatives who wish to move on to DeSantis interact with the Trump die-hards.  Good luck convincing them that the GOP should move to DeSantis instead of Trump who won two elections in a row by a landslide.
