Actually, I think today's release of the Special Counsel's report on the Biden classified documents fiasco could change things. The DNC might be motivated to do an intervention and replace uncle Joe with someone many decades younger and without the baggage.
If the Repubs try to use this report against Joe--and they undoubtedly will--they are going to have to argue that a candidate who just aced his cognitive test and therefore intentionally violated the Espionage Act is better for the country than someone who came close to violating it, but didn't quite because he didn't have enough of his mental faculties to do it. The Dems will try to argue that being in mental decline is better than outright criminality and as long as he didn't actually get charged with a crime, it's all good.
Personally, I think the more those arguments are used the more the independents will be horrified. I'm not sure whether the Rs or Ds would win that race to the bottom, and probably neither party really wants to find out. The party that realizes that first and dumps their current leading candidate will have the advantage, simply from a game theory standpoint. A few months ago the polls showed that a generic younger Democrat (unspecified who) would beat Trump by maybe 10 points and a generic younger Repub (like Haley, for example) would beat Biden by about the same margin.
I agree with you that Trump is locked in as the Repub nominee at this point, but it is not too late to have Biden decide to retire because he wants to spend more time with his family, and write his memoirs, or some such. I'm not sure who the Dem substitute would be--maybe Newsom--but it probably doesn't matter as long as he's young and photogenic and Trump stays as the Repub nominee.
If I can figure this out, the Dem strategists undoubtedly already have.

The Biden administration will have Trump assassinated before the election.
Haley will step in and the RINO's will rule.

Says the closeted RINO...
No going back now Doughy!
You joined their camp when you supported the intentional killing of women and children. You should really choose your hills better sport...

I hope trump gets out and campaigns like a beast. To me the way he sweats and slurs makes me think he is not well at all and sad health events happen frequently to the elderly.
You might despise Haley but you might not have a choice.
