My concern with Trump is the level of hatred that he arouses in independents and moderate republicans. My feelings about Trump are best summarized in Michael P. Senger's article about Deborah Birx.
I use Michigan as an example. In addition to just being a poor candidate and the MI GOP being a sh*tshow in and of itself, certain voters in Michigan saw Dixon as a Trump acolyte which, along with the reaction to the Dobbs decision, led to Whitmer, Nessel, and Benson being re-elected despite Whitmer's draconian COVID policies and democrats now controlling all three branches of Michigan's government.
I can't comment on the voter fraud issue because I still believe Al Gore won the 2000 Election and Nixon won in 1960. I am confident that Trump will lose regardless of who the democrats run.
I live in Michigan and I assume you do also. Dixon was put in place by the GOP. I followed all 5 Republicans in the primary. All were pro life with Kevin Rinke maybe the least. Yet, Right to Life early on endorsed Dixon who was virtually unknown in this state before that. Rumors were the DeVos family gave a huge sum to R to L for this endorsement. Trump was trying to get GOP candidates across the finish line, he went by the people who supposedly knew, the MiGOP. He didn’t vette Tudor Dixon. But she was attractive, played well before the cameras when she got the chance, and hit the right notes. She supposedly won the primary by 46%. No way. She was simply not that popular with the same people that gathered almost 600,000 signatures to repeal the 45 law. We have straight line voting in this state’s primaries. No Democrat was running against another Democrat in anything. That left Democrats free to vote for a Rep. of the choice told to them. That’s how Tudor Dixon got the vote. Why would Democrats want her as the candidate if they felt Trump’s support was so hateful? We had two good candidates for SOS and AG, voted at the Republican primary convention by delegates organized by grassroots groups and yet they were soundly defeated also. Michigan’s election of 2022 was pushed the same way, 2020 was. It was managed.
I'll agree that the fix was in for Dixon and that it was a set-up. That speaks more to the dysfunctionality of the MI GOP and Whitmer, et al. were re-elected. Wayne County election improprieties? Most certainly.

Thanks for the explanation of what the heck happened in MI. It's a shame to have open primaries.
