No that’s not the way it works.
Biden ignores the voters and the dems support him because they all believe rightly that the fix is in.
Biden has the entire federal government working to get himself elected with the support of federally funded non profits. Plus they control the voting apparatus in all the contested states. They sealed that in 2022. Plus dems will have about 7 million guest voters from south of the border.
Republicans can still win but they’ll need 20 million more voters than in 2020 plus a lot of democrats who don’t come out to vote.
But either way, win or lose, the margin of winning and losing will not be a function of which republican candidate gets the nod for the general.
Republicans and centrists who blithely assumed the economy would just keep rolling along with record low inflation, record cheap gas (inflation adjusted), no unnecessary foreign wars, affordable steak dinners, etc now have their tits in the wringer with Biden.
I will bet half my social security check, those same voters will have no problem with mean tweets in 2024. They have suffered enough with Biden.
