1. I think that's a pretty good part of it

The only thing I would add is that nobody on the Republican side has managed to match whatever charisma Trump has for his supporters. So when other Republicans cling to him in the primaries where it's either only or mostly Republicans, they generally win, but when they get to general elections and Trump isn't on the ballot, they aren't able to counteract the anger Trump inspires in most people given his very strong disapproval numbers with both Democrats and independents.
