I agree. Trump thought that one of his keys to victory was addressing the American people directly. I hope he tells us what's going on and what can be done about it as often as he can. I think if R's would govern on the principals they campaign on, that would bring out and even create more R's/Conservatives. If they would also fight as hard as Trump did—like the champion of the base he proved to be—that would also inspire tremendous confidence for the mid-terms and the second time around. Our elected leaders cannot show fear and deference to their ideological opponents that want to destroy them any longer. They must fight back at least as hard as they attack.
How the Republicans govern and perform in the next two years is crucial. If they can pursue an agenda that us designed to drain the swamp and get the country back on its feet for our middle-classs with a fighting spirit, the mid-terms and 2020 campaigns will be Reagan-esque in its proportions.
