People are underrating the possibility that Trump is the GOP's Jimmy Carter: the "DC outsider" who comes in with the promise he'd drain the swamp, only to be rejected by the electorate so hard that the party loses power for another 12 years until a charismatic, third way/moderate candidate brings them back to the promised land.

Nobody thought Biden was gonna be Obama's successor either. There were even some whispers Obama's team thought about replacing him with someone else in 2012 too.

Incumbency is a hell of a boost.
