All one has to look at is the FR Poll on this issue.
Given this site is a Republician/Conservative web site,
the majority of of who voted will either vote 3rd party, or stay at home.
This should be a wake up call to the weak kneed GOP.

Yes, their job is cut out for them. They will work like gangbusters to bludgeon us into obedience, to intimidate and coerce us into obeying the Party Line.
You just wait and see if that ain't how it's gonna play out.
When The Party is at odds with the electorate, clearly, something is gonna have to give. And it ain't gonna be The Party!
Look at any example from the past, for example, the infamous "Crime Bill", which was opposed tooth and nail by the electorate. Lord Dole said that the calls were coming in hot and heavy, thousands a day, the vast majority of which were strongly opposed to the bill.
He, of course, heard their voice, and ignored it. He voted for the bill.
(And that was when I realized the stupidity of "calling our elected representatives to urge them to vote blah blah blah." I have better things to do with my time than waste in on arrogant rulers who feel it beneath their dignity to listen to "We the people.")
