If these trials are in the spring and he gets convicted over the summer, I’m not entirely sure he would still be able to the be the GOP nominee from prison. I mean, I guess he could, but I would think the party would want someone to run who’s actually behind bars.

Actually it’s the Biden people that are taking them most seriously. Why else would David Axelrod, James Carville, and CNN be begging the DNC to find someone who can beat Trump since they’re convinced Joe can’t do it.

Those aren't Biden people, nor do they have enough money to change anything.  Our donor class is content with a Biden v Trump rematch and content with either one winning.  So far.

Unless things have shifted recently, the donor class hasn't wanted anything to do with Trump since he first ran in '16 so I disagree about there being contentment amongst those ranks.  That's a major part of the appeal of Trump amongst conservatives though, that he's not beholden to the elite wealthy donors or at least perceived not to be.  That's also why the Republican party fought him becoming the nominee at every step during his initial run and would very likely like to see someone else be the nominee this time.
