It's just very difficult to see the "Trump coalition" (especially its most recent iteration) staying together post-Trump.

The next GOP nominee will almost certainly be a cosplay Trump, but those types of candidates have a tendency to go down like Lauren Boebert at the movies. Whatever animal magnetism Trump has does not appear to be easily transferrable.

Maybe their next ticket will be John Cena/Pat McAfee?

Cena's politics probably wouldn't go over too well in the GOP. While he's generally avoided explicit endorsements, he's supported causes such as Black Lives Matter and Love Has No Labels.

He stated that he was "surprised" by Trump's 2024 victory. Whether he was surprised in a good, bad, or neutral way is unclear, but he ain't Hulk Hogan, Jake Paul, or Dana White.
