The exigencies of the whole situation (congress, public opinion largely, AIPAC, etc) I think lean towards none of the likely replacements doing much better. Maybe Whitmer. None of the rest though. The shiny new candidates lose their sheen pretty fast.

The amount of rage I received a couple weeks ago for this sentiment... I know it's hard to look at the horrors in Gaza and think "could be worse!" but it could be and I believe it would be.

I'd argue that Trump's stance goes past that into "Why aren't you doing more genocide? We can do the genocide for you if you want!" territory. :-/
