Is the GOP making a huge mistake regarding the presidential candidate for 2024?

The GOP is like a dear in the headlights almost as if waiting for a crash and burn of Trump that may never happen. But should it happen what will the GOP do?

Or is the GOP passively waiting for the senile, demented and corrupt 46th President to implode, resign, or be indicted/impeached? That's a gamble, unless they know something we don't. The 46th President still has some strong support and defenders. This may change quickly once he is indicted or impeached, but until then ...

Trump is far from being an ideal candidate! He is controversial. He appears arrogant at times. He is blunt and so on ...

Trump's reelection campaign is very populist so far, probably offending moderate voters. 

Why are there no other, perhaps younger GOP contenders coming out? E.g. Youngkin, Noem. DeSantis made a splash, but that was all so far. Now they are talking about his wife is trying to resurrect him.

Current high polling numbers and lead over contenders may not be enough to win in November 2024.

Trump will be 82 years old at the end of his second term, if he is reelected. Will he still be fit at the end of his term? Welcome to gerontocracy!
