7. I think a Trump nomination would lead to a record turnout for Dems and independents

Whereas, say a DeSantis nomination may actually keep Dems at home and the right wingers and independents might rule the day.

The real threat is the GOP but if Trump was relegated to the trash heap, I think a lot of potential Dem voters may not be as encouraged to vote.

Just a guess.
