I would disagree with your statement they would win if they dump Trump, trump is the only way they win, the whole machine is built around him. Without him they fall flat. With him, they have a chance of winning, and still could, we can't pretend like that's not the case unless we want to repeat 2016
I'm no longer sure actually. A lot of them are likely just voting right wing..
It's hard to know though. Wasn't Tim Walz and kamala polling badly too in comparison to the other presidential options? Now they're both rockstars, and there was a huge swing that happened the moment Biden was replaced
Sorry, I didn't neccessarily mean the right wing would win, simply that I suspect another candidate for the right wing could possibly produce a swing again.
Their policies still suck, but he doesn't have many people defending him
