We nominated a candidate that 50% of the voters hate and would never vote for, no matter how bad the Democrat candidate is.
Other Republican candidates had higher ceilings.

I liked DeSantis the best. I believe his ceiling is much higher. But the base in the Republican Party believe that the Democratic Party stole the election in 2020. They're not wrong about it. So this is a revenge election. We'll vote for Trump.

Then either Gavin Newsom or Gretchen Whitmer will get the White House in 2028 and that will be the end of the "American Democracy" (ha I'm using the leftist definition).

We tried the “nice Republican” route with Romney and McCain.

They got crushed.
