After much thought I have come to a similar conclusion as Richard - but my reason is to defang the crazed minority right wingers like the Proud Boys and the many other homegrown nutcase militia members scattered around the country. How quickly we forget that it was one of these right wing militia members who bombed the Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City. Without Trump, there is no QAnon. Without der fuhrer, what's their point? Richard is right. Solves a myriad of problems.
Downside. Ken's right. There won't be a come-to-Jesus reckoning. But then, I don't think there will ever be one, anyway.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Republican Party then put Don Jr on the ticket for President!!!
On surface, it looks like a completely crazy idea to even consider Jr as the next guy. However, the powers that be will find it so convenient to have a useless, dumb, and malleable person heading the ticket. All the sympathy votes will flow to Jr which will raise the odds of victory.
Then if he does win, McConnell and other GOP leaders will become a hundred times more powerful. If he doesn't, the GOP Senators won't be too sad so long as they continue to control the Senate majority.
Edit: Think about it! From the GOP Senators' perspective, the greatest thing Trump has done in the past three years is to allow the Senate leaders a free reign over policy.
