I can see this scenario in play given who is still running the RNC. I can also see a scenario where GOP donors put their money behind a third candidate to run as a viable independent and torch Trump's campaign. In any event, a lot is going to depend on who the Dems run.

It has been pointed out, perhaps in a Bulwark article, that the GOP leadership pretends to be making such decisions but it is pretty much out of their hands. It will be decided by Trump and the rabid GOP base. Although some polls do show DeSantis ahead of Trump, I suspect they are polling normal GOP voters not the much more vocal and powerful base. If they still want Trump, and I suspect they will, and Trump still wants the nomination, and he does, he'll get it.
