Your edit nailed it exactly. So note that even one key state barring him would make it almost entirely impossible for him to win the presidency. It's not like California is going to turn Red any time soon. So a place like Georgia or Florida not putting him on the ballot would tank him.

Honestly, though, the bigger issue isn't Trump, It's Ron DeSantis. He's likely going to be the GOP candidate next election and he's essentially like Trump if Trump had 2 brain cells instead of 1. He's young, super right-wing, a nutjob, and likely to get a lot of people to vote for him.
