FSK, you perfectly understood my meaning. And yeah, I was thinking of a bench of alternative contenders who could stand in for Trump and attract the same type of attention who would act as he has.

I don't believe they would be Youtube creators or even prominent right wing commenters. Someone like this would need massive assets, like Trump's.

I think a plausible candidate for someone who could attract attention and voter loyalty as Trump has done would have to also be a company owner, billionaire and media mogul.

Elon Musk is about the only person who comes to mind but not certain he'd want the job and the consequences.
