“The GOP needs to understand that it is in a fight for its continued existence. There’s no such thing as 2020 for them if Donald Trump loses. Guaranteed. This is it.”
That’s a fact.
The GOP base is leaving because the GOPe hijacked the party and turned it into an arm of the DNC. Now, their task accomplished, the GOPe are also leaving, and are now openly aligning with their chosen party (the Dims). Maybe, once the GOPe leave, the GOP base can reclaim the party. In any event, the GOP as it presently stands is history.
If Trump loses, we will create a monster out of the Democrats own clay and then we’ll sit back and watch them fight with it.
